The Hero

16: Mist

Ryter's P.O.V.

Before I knew it, it was time for another world meeting. Sadly, Germany said we couldn't play laser tag again. But I guess that was okay since he promised we could do it again sometime. I guess everyone had fun that day.

  But in the world meeting it was going okay for once. America was actually being quiet, sure he was still talking but it was only in a whisper to the people around him. Germany seemed to be in a less assertive mood and was even whispering to Italy and I.

I was stuck between Germany and Prussia, which wasn't that bad. But these two seemed as if they didn't want me out of their sight. I could understand that since what had happened before but still. That was like two months ago.

"So Ryter, what kind of magic do you specialize in?" England asked me from four chairs away. I looked at him and scratched the back of my neck.

"Um I rather not say..." It's not that I was ashamed of what kind of magic I specialized in, it's just that I felt that if people knew it would make them afraid. The only one who knows is Natrista, and she was a bit hesitant to talk to me again. Sure that was when we were little countries, but still.

I sighed and turned to look at Natrista only to find she was looking at me. I stuck my tong out at her and she laughed. Then she turned to Sweden and said something to him before getting up. She ran over to me and grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my seat.

  Prussia looked up at us but I just rolled my eyes. He didn't need to be with me twenty-four seven. Plus I was going with Natrista. She wasn't going to do anything to me. And we could take care of our selves.

  I turned towards the door and was surprised that none of the other countries noticed us. That was until I backed up into Cuba and Turkey. They started to yell at me but all I could do was stare at the door. They seemed to notice it too and stared along with me.

  "Um... guys?" I asked and Natrista came to stand beside me. She was staring at the door as well.

"What is it?" America's loud voice stood out from the muttering counties that could actually see the door.

"It seems as if someone's trying to drug us, or knock us out." Natrista stated.

'They've noticed. Move on to plan B.' I heard but it seemed as if no one else heard. My eyes widened as I realized what plan B was going to be.

But I didn't have time to say anything before the door burst open. I looked towards the windows and saw as people came crashing through. Then they all seemed to nod and started to spray the mist. I looked at the one person closest to me then Natrista.

We nodded one as the countries started to pass out and hit the floor. We ran towards the closest person and I noticed they were wearing a gas mask. We were about four feet away when the person sprayed me in the face. As I fell to the ground the last thing I saw was Natrista falling to join me on the ground.

"Big bruder?" I heard Liechtenstein's voice. I rolled onto my stomach and looked to where her voice was coming from. I could see her looking down at Switzerland as he began to stir.

"Vhat happened?" He asked as he sat up. I pushed myself up and looked around. The only one I could see that wasn't awake yet was Natrista. I crawled over to her to and put my mouth near her ear.

  "I once killed a man with his own moustache and a grape." I whispered, quoting my brother. She sat into the sitting position and I couldn't help but laugh. If she didn't wake up to that I would have reminded her how we had once killed a man with nothing but his own finger nails.

  "W-where are we?" Natrista asked as she finally settled down.

  "We're in Zierstien." (A/N; Z-I-er-stin)
Switzerland announced.

  "Where's that?" I asked.

  "It's a country right beside Liechtenstein about the same size but smaller."

  "Big sister!" A young voice yelled. I looked towards where the voice was coming and saw a little blond haired boy running up to us. And instantly I knew it was Zierstien. And by the look on Natrista's face so did she.

The little boy ran to Liechtenstein and they hugged. "Hello Shayne." She said with a smile.

I stood up and looked at the chibi. Turning away I started to walk before he ran up and grabbed my pant leg. "Where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm going to find out where the other countries are." I told him and Natrista walked up to us.

"You too?" He asked as he looked up at Natrista. She nodded and stood beside me.

"So no new friends?" He asked with the saddest look that would make anyone's heart melt. But I looked at him and shook my head.

"We need to go for now, but maybe we can be your friends later, okay?" I suggested. He looked back up at me, nodding rapidly. Then he was back with Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

"You guess say neutral like you always do and watch over Zierstien. We'll go figure out what's going on." Natrista said and the two older countries nodded.

Then we were off. Looking for the other countries. We didn't know where to look all we knew was we needed to find them. We needed to get this whole thing sorted out because at the moment no one knew what was going on. And if that was a good or bad thing, was yet to be found out.
