"Now you're walking back

To a place you call home

But you feel so alone."

Russia's POV:

The meeting had been hosted in my country this month, so my home wasn't that far away. The wind whipped around me and snow fell down in torrents. I hated it. I wished that it was warm and sunny here, like it was for many other countries. I had grown accustomed to the cold, but I clutched my coat tighter around me. It served a much darker purpose than keeping me warm, but it was still something familiar to hold on to.

I let a tear or two escape as I neared my home. At least, what I called my home. Home is supposed to be a place where you were surrounded by the ones you loved. It was supposed to be the place where you could find peace and comfort. Not for me. I was afraid of it. So many things had happened to my sisters and I in here, I didn't really count it as a house anymore.

"Hello? Boss, are you here?" I asked, hoping and praying that he wasn't. I sighed with relief when only my echo greeted me. But then again, it was just my echo. I looked up at the towering ceiling above me and sighed. This house, it was so big, especially when I lived by myself. Even Belarus had stopped coming over to stalk me. Sighing, I shrugged off my coat and hung it up. The cold bit at my arms, making me shiver slightly. My arms and neck felt exposed in the open air and I shook my head, running to the staircase that wound up to my room.

Flinging my door open, I stormed into my bedroom and stood in front of my mirror. Maybe I would see something different than I usually did. But no. All I could see was a monster.
