Endless Grief |Book 2| ❤(Countryhumans) ❤

The gift

Morning hit hard, Courtney hadn't slept much last night. Now she has to deal with it, her back is hurting and her neck is cramped. Choco was already awake before all of this and was playing around with her mother's watch....Her MOTHER'S WATCH?! Courtney forgot she took it out yesterday night, something weird happened. It was glowing blue, but the blue is lighter than her right eye. Grabbing the watch Courtney looks over the watch, it was the same, goldfish, Scratched, and has her mother's name on it. Amanda Angelo, that was her name before she married Courtney's father, and changed her last name to Sallow.

Suddenly a rush of energy rushed through her, and the girl was up and running. Her childish self came again, and the first person to witness it again was Rectangle. Memories come back to the entity as she sees how Courtney acted. The girl was making a list of pranks to redo, last time she hid all of Britain's tea. That prank was great, instead of blaming it on R.E she can say it's America's fault.

"What are you doing?" Rectangle asked and Courtney knew that voice too well.

She turned around and met face to face at the country and her mischievous look came on her face. A face that everyone should be afraid of.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Rectangle asks not to recognize it, but she doesn't blame him. "It's scary."

(Courtney's POV)

Why haven't I thought about this earlier? When Erick is here We can do this together! I'll save the tea thing for last. I was changed and cleaned before Rectangle knocked on my door. He said West, East and Italy are up. I scooped up Chocolate and passed it to Rectangle, and we walked to the stairs.

"Why did you let me carry your ca- COURTNEY NEIN!" Rectangle shouted as I saw on the railings and slid down.

Rectangle tried to grab me, not with his hands but, remember the first time I met him and I noticed tentacles? Well now they are hands, either they grew into that or evolved I don't know. I looked down and saw that the couch was still where it's supposed to be. Taking this moment again I leaned back and started to fall over, and Rectangle cursed under his breath. My body hit the couch as my breath left my body, but that felt amazing. I felt eyes on me, looking around I see Prussia, same old Prussia. Dressing in military outfit, and hands rested behind his back, with lazy eyes.

"You know it's really dangerous right?" Prussia said.

"Yeah, I know." I giggled as Rectangle quickly came down the stairs. "And I would do it again."

"Why?"

"Because it's fun, and I am still 14 so no problem."

"Forgot you didn't age after all these years." Prussia sighed, "Breakfast is ready." he pointed to the dining doors.

I got up and went over there, Rectangle followed, the doors were still heavy to open. To my surprise Erick was sitting amongst them, and some extra guests. Soviet, Turkey, Ottoman, and R.E. As soon as Erick and I saw each other it was like reuniting lost best friends together, which is pretty much true. Erick left his seat and ran up to me and we hugged each other tightly, happy to see each other.

"Bro I thought you died!" I joked, of course he didn't die.

"Man, I thought you guys were in Russia!" Erick said, "Surprised to see you here in Germany!"

"I can say the same thing!" I hugged him very tightly.

After our small reunion, we sat down forgetting why we are here. I started to sign to Erick in ASL (I don't know ASL irl I wish I did) about the things I planned and he was happy about that.

"What was that about?" East asked, guess he doesn't know about it.

"A language in the future." I said, "It will be known to the world."

"Will we have it?" Italy asked and Erick nodded.

Breakfast went smoothly, I chatted with Erick, Turkey, Ottoman and almost everyone. Britain, France, America, Weimar, Third and Soviet were talking about the portal thing. I tried not to listen, turning my attention to Erick and Turkey. Noticing the two were getting along well, mostly Erick, he said he would trust any of the country-humans. Now look at him, having a good time with Ottoman's son.

"Good to see you again." R.E said, drinking his beer or some sort.

"Yeah, so how's" I was about to say life, but he's already a past country, meaning he's dead.

"Life?" He smiled "Before it wasn't well, dealing with World War 1 and my son." He glanced at Soviet.

I know the two have a sort of beef against each other. Soviet says his father was very controlling, even though R.E believed in Christ he did terrible things.

"What did he do?" I asked curious.

"He killed me." R.E's eyes glistened yellows. "Shot me when I was least expecting it."

My eyes widened, no way, I don't think Soviet couldn't do something like that, could he? If he could torture a country and kill millions of people, maybe he could.

"Now I just live my dead life with his children." R.E said, and I spotted a smile.

"Aw, are they cute?" I asked and R.E nodded. "I am glad Soviet have children," I smiled.

R.E frowned, but I didn't notice. I didn't know what would happen when one country had kids. The curse behind it. Breakfast was over, me, Erick, Turkey and the younglings went to play in the garden. One of my favorite spots, the trees, are much bigger now. West said that the countries all agreed not to destroy anything that reminds them of me. That's why the church is still standing.

Then I remember someone, Alex the ghost in the cellars. I told them about the guy and Erick was interested in meeting him, after all he said enjoys ghost hauntings. The six of us went back into the dinning room and into the kitchen. The cellar doors were open so I grabbed my flashlight and went down. The others followed me down and I looked around the small place. It's changed but I think to summon Alex I need to ask for something.

"I wonder where the salt is?" I questioned myself, Erick and the others gave me a look.

"It's in the back behind the bag of potatoes." Erick jumped at the voice and Alex appeared before us "Long time no see, Courtney."

"ALEX!" I hugged the man, Erick had to run his eyes to see that he's not hallucinating.

The other four countries don't seem to see him, is it only us that can see the man?

"He's a g-ghost?" Erick stumbles with his words "That's insane."

"Eh Alex is more of a good spirit." I laughed and we had a good time together.

That reminds me, I looked into my pockets and pulled out three good bottles of beer and handed it to him.

"How did you pull that out?" West asked, confused out of his mind.

"Magic?" I shrugged "Also your are now fully aware that you know?"

"Dead? Yeah." Alex laughed "For a long time I had been hearing about the countries bringing you back to your own world?"

"Yeah we are not from here, me and my friend Erick." I gestured to Erick and the sport nodded.

"Hey guys let's go up, I'm getting cold." Italy said, everyone agreed.

I waved bye to Alex as I went back up.

I reread my first book and OMG my writing is 😬, and I feel terrible for your readers who read them. Hopefully my writing improved better, and I still admit sometimes my writing doesn't make any sense, and tbh I don't know how I wrote all those.
