They're After Us All

Training Day

"Hey Vest... oh hallo pretty girl." The man grinned, his skin was pale as milk, while his hair was like snow that shaped into its style naturally, his eyes were the most unusual out of all his features, they were two piercing blood red eyes that stood from his pale white skin and hair. Victoria partly recognized him, he was sometimes at the world meetings with Ludwig, he was a deceased country but still lived somehow with Ludwig. His name is Gilbert, or Mr. Awesome he preferred."Oh it's you Mr. Gilbert, I thought you were someone else." Victoria sighed of relief and put down the vase on a table. 

"Ja zhe awesome me is here." He started looking in her eyes, it gave Victoria a chill down her spine, she wasn't used to him yet. 

"Mr. Gilbert, are you drunk again?" She's seen him drunk once before but she was fortunate to stay away from him that day, he was weird and not like himself, kinda how he's acting now.

"Vhat?! Nein I'm not drunk, I'm just intoxicated by jou." He smirked and came closer to her as Victoria backed up. Something was different in his eyes, they were still the same red color but yet different. He turned and closed the door behind him. "So do jou vant to see my 5 meters?" His smirk grew and he grabbed a hold of his pants, Victoria eyes widened and backed up more, trying to get away from him as much as possible. He kept coming closer and closer until a familiar figure appeared in the doorway. "And what the bloody hell are you doing to my former colony, Wanker?" The familiar figure also had a familiar voice and Victoria was happy to hear it at this time. "Vhat I was only saying hallo to zhis little one."

"Really? Looks like you are cornering her." Arthur sounded stern and approached Gilbert. "Now I suggest that you leave, Gilbert." Arthur's eyes were focused on Gilbert and yet they wondered to Victoria behind him, so Gilbert turned and grabbed Victoria and held her close, holding her wrists and wrapping one hand around her waist. Victoria tried to get away and break free from his grip, but she was still weak from what previously happened that day. Arthur knew this wasn't safe for her and stomped towards them starting to feel angry. "You unhand her right now, you bloody Wanker." His voice was more stern when he spoke.

"But vhy, she seems to be just fine and look she even likes me." Gilbert forced Victoria's extended hand and made her hand touch his face. "Plus vhat vill jou do Eyebrows."

"I'll make you regret coming in here, you albino creep." He pried Gilberts's hands off of Victoria and pushed her behind himself. Gilbert scowled and left the room slamming the door behind him.

 "I'm sorry about that Vic, if he was half the gentleman I was he would stay away from a lady."

"Mr. Arthur its fine he did nothing." Victoria was happy to see Arthur, being with him most of her childhood, she knew she was safe. 

"Now what did I say about that Mr. stuff"

"Don't say it, at meetings just be Arthur, we are friends." She smiled and looked up at him since he was taller.

"Good girl, you are so smart sometimes I wish you could show it more." He ruffled the top of her head, smiling. "Now about that power you have, I think that tomorrow you should start some training with Ivan to learn how to control it properly or you could lose control and hurt someone." Victoria looked at him worried and said in a whimper. "I don't want to hurt people." Arthur patted her back to reassure her and smiled warmly. "Then you should learn and control it, so tomorrow morning at 7:00 after breakfast so sleep to gain your strength, cause if you can't stand up to Gilbert now then you can't use this power, goodnight Vic." He ruffled her hair again and walked out, so Victoria laid in her bed and closed her eyes, it took her a while to fall asleep, once she did a nightmare swarmed her mind and took control. It was back at the small building in the woods right before she woke up to see her friends, but this time she didn't wake to her rescuers but to more demons looking at her body, they noticed she woke and started torturing her again and beating her sore, in reality she was kicking and screaming in her bed as everyone else was fast asleep, except for Francis who was in a room above hers reading a classical book, he heard her and quickly got up and ran to her room as fast as he could, opening the door seeing his daughter still in bed made him worry much less, Victoria was tossing and turning under the think covers, screaming as if it was murder. Francis walked over to her and started singing a lullaby in his language that he sang to her when she was very small girl. It took about half the song until Victoria calmed down and slept peacefully. Francis readjusted the covers on her, moved some of her hair out of her face and kisses her forehead. "Bonne nuit mon petit papillon. (Goodnight my little butterfly.)" He left the room and went back to his own.
