New life

Part 25 [Relationships and Escape]

It's been around 2 weeks now since we first came into the World Building to stay away together from the 2ps, activities grew around us and random bad karma has been hitting everyone every time someone walked out of the building. As if the 2ps were playing a game, a game that we didn't even know we were in.
Sightings of presences around us grew as well, for everything we went to the forest to try and train and get better, a strange feeling hit my skin that moved through to my bones and traveled in waves through the veins flowing through my body.
A week and a half we were training, with me and Fen learning tactics on boobytraps, pranks, agility, speed, balance, patience, and reactions. As well as learning how to use our hook shots to the best ability we could.
As we learned that, Stephanie learned combat skills of attack and defense, as well as regaining power for each hit would be worth it, using helping materials with her.
Every training session we got stronger, and ever training session I got even slightly closer to Prussia. Since the lighted haired and red eyed male was Fen and I's main tutor, it was a simple task to talk to him, but even though he was there, I made sure to focus on the training, knowing that it would come very handy.
Even though we were planning to attack, they attacked us, and in a matter of minutes a war broke out.

Currently, I sat on my bed, reading. But not just a simple book. More like America's journal. The journal he kept from all the way back to when England 'found' him. Before wars, after wars, tactics, problems, sicknesses, food counts, death counts, injured counting, missing, enslaved, all the way to government things, and everything between to everyday things.
Flipping the page, I smiled softly to myself, about to start reading that one, though suddenly stopping as someone burst into my room with great speed.
Glancing to the side I see Stephanie grinning as she ran up to me, "Come quick, duck! You have to see something, and the show is about to start, so grab your phone and let's go!" She yelled, and started to run off back out of the door.
I blink at her confused, "What..?" I asked slowly though decided to quickly put the book down and grab my phone, following after her though with a slower pace.
"Come on!" She hissed, pulling me along to run, me almost tripping as she brought me over Fen's room and to her room quickly, which she pulled towards the window.
"Chill-" though I immediately pause one I spot someone out the window. Looking down I see Fen in the gardens, hanging out with France. My eyes slightly widen, as a grin spread across my face as we watch quietly, watching as the Frenchman said something to her before plucking a rose from the bush and giving it to her. She wasn't too far away, but I did see a blush draining her cheeks, I laugh softly, "Oh my fucking god this is amazing, thanks dude for inviting me to this," I smirk.
"Mhm, I wish we could hear what they were saying, we probably could with the window pulled up, but I don't want to accidentally draw attention." She muttered.
I nod for the caution, agreeing as they seemed to draw nearer, or at least, France was. Seeing this I snicker and quickly get out my phone and go to camera, 'This will be so good...' I thought in my mind, waiting for the right moment, and readying my phone for the perfect picture I could tease her about, glancing to the side I noticed Stephanie looking at me and nodding, a grin on her face, "We can annoy her about it.." she smirked softly.
Nodding back to her, I glance back at them, only to see France leaning in on her, so I quickly took a few until taking a last picture of the kiss.
Stephanie clapped slowly trying to contain her laughter as she cooed, "Oh! Fenny-enny has a boyfriend now!" jumping slightly up.
"Hm.. I wouldn't say boyfriend," I started looking away from the couple before slowly moving to the door, "But definitely someone that cares." I stated, "Now come on, we have to pick out a picture to show her once she's... done.." I trail off, with a small chuckle, before walking out with Stephanie, on our way down the hall we checked the few pictures I took, 'I'm such a stalker right now... paparazzi maybe... ' I thought with a grin.

After a while, me and Stephanie hung out downstairs in the living room, playing Call of Duty from the large TV. After a good 20 minutes of playing we saw Fen walk inside in the hall near us, closing the door after her, the rose in her left hand which seemed to glow a bright red.
Quickly I nudged Stephanie, making her check to the side, and swiftly paused the game and jumped up, "Fen!" she called out, making the chestnut stop and turn to us as we walked up to her, a soft gleam in are eyes, "Hey Fen! Where were you?" she asked.
Fen slowly looked to the side before fixing her eyes on us, tilting her head a little, "Eh.. I was in the garden with France." she stated softly.
"Oh, so what happened?" I asked edging in with softly narrowed eyes and a smile.
"Um... nothing, we just talked, and he gave me a rose." she murmured softly keeping her face calm, which I raised a brow at her, "Oh really, nothing special?" I asked.
"What's your deal? Nothing happened." she stated once more, getting slightly annoyed.
I huff, while Stephanie crossed her arms and shook her head, I took my phone out, unlocking it and flipping to the picture, showing it to her.
Her eyes widened as she opened her mouth to speak out, though her voice was drowned hers with a yell, "Drop down!"
My eyes lit as suddenly a rumble could be heard, and an explosion following with glass smashing. "The fuck!?" I yelled, dropping to my kneels, looking around, before my eyes narrowing as I stand and go to the stairs, only to see Prussia running down the steps, "Shit. Shit. Shit." he cursed under his breath, only to see me and Fen and Stephanie following. From the look on my face, it seemed that he knew what question I was going to ask as he quickly spoke up, "It's time," he stated, and quickly started speed walking towards the back door.
"Wait, what?!" Fen yelled, her eyes widened.
I glance at them, before running after her, "What do you mean? The 2ps?!"
"Yes, we need to get to the shed to get the materials, follow quickly and get down!" he hissed, opening the door only for us to follow, as I hit the outside air, I felt a gush of wind come at my face, and yells. Familiar yells. Something hissed in my ears as the shadows around us seemed to move, glowing dots seemed to engulf the forest near us, though we just had to get there.
"Crap!" Gilbert suddenly stopped, as bullets hit the ground near him creating dust. He flashed a glance, only to see Francois appearing, having two pistols pointing at us, his eyes narrowed and dull. He stood straight, and calm, waiting for us to make a move, "We can't sneak past, run to the shed." he stated, moving a hand inside his jacket and pressing a button on a small ball before throwing it. Once it hit the ground it exploded with dust, as on cue, we started running past the garden and towards the shed, quickly opening the door and running in, shutting the door after us. The man had a freaking smoke bomb with him, like, how much better can he get?
I huff, my eyes widened, as Gilbert started getting gear, Stephanie shaking her head slightly before her eyes narrowing and she starting to take her stuff.
"They attacked, we didn't think they would attack this quickly, but they did, I know you have only trained for about 2 weeks, but," he sighed, "Stick together, help each other, don't panic, get into the forest for an advantage, especially for you Alex and Fen, protect Stephanie, and she'll protect you." he muttered, as we nodded slowly. Hearing the starting battle outside.
My eyes were struck with fear before I quickly took a deep breath and took my own stuff, Fen following after me, the rose given to her from France no longer with her, probably trampled and forgotten.
Quickly taking my stuff, Gilbert stopped near me at the door, "Ready?" he muttered.
I flashed him a glance, shaking my head slightly I sigh, "No." I murmured, my hands seemed to slightly shake as I got my hooks locked to the chains.
"Just, remember the training and.... and don't die."
