Melanie's POV.
I kept running, heavy boots following right behind me. I knew I wouldn't be able to run much longer. I then felt a tight grip on my arm, pulling me back harshly. "I got you, you bloody scoundrel!" One of the thugs said, smirking. The rest of the thugs chuckles evilly. Getting thrown to the ground, hearing the thugs pop the knuckles. "You won't be able to see tomorrow after we're done with you. And we'll be rich!" The thug said laughing and started to kick me, punch me, and throw me against the wall. After ten minutes of getting beaten up, everything started to get darker. Then, it was all pitch black.

England's POV
I was walking back to my house after running late night errands. It was cold and rainy that night as well. I didn't want to but I took some of the alleyways to get home quicker. Only because America is at my house, he won't give a bloody reason why he's there. I think he watched another bloody horror movie that actually scared the wits out of him. But then again, the bloody git gets scared over every horror movie. I was walking down an alleyway and seen a girl laying in the middle of the alleyway unconscious. My eyes widened, I dropped my bags instantly and ran to the girl. She was all beaten up, her breathing was shallow. I shook her gently, "Miss! Are you ok!?" I asked, worried. She didn't answer me. She was extremely pale, I picked her up quickly and started to run towards the hospital.
When I got to the hospital, I was panting heavily. I walked as fast as I could into the hospital. "Someone help!" I yelled, the nurses and doctors rushed at me, they looked at the girl and they sighed, "Sir. There is nothing we can do. I'm sorry." They said, they just walked away. "There has to be something you can do!" I yelled at them, they looked back at me. One of the nurses then sighed once again, "We are not allowed to help a demon." She said blankly and walked off, I stood there. "What do they mean? D-Demon?" I looked down at the girl, I then noticed. She had wolf ears and a tail! How did I not see them before!? I ran out of the hospital and ran back to my house.

America's POV
I was finally about to fall asleep then, England rushed in. He was panting heavily, I sat up quickly and looked at him. "Dude what's up with you?" I asked, I then noticed, he's holding a girl! She looks extremely hurt too! "Whoa! What the hell dude!? What happened!?" I said, jumping up from the couch. "I found this girl in an alleyway. This will probably be the only time I ask, please help!" England said, looking at me. I was shocked, Limey wants me to help him? "At what cost?" I said, narrowing my eyes at him. "No cost! Just help her!" He said, I sighed and held my arms out to him. He put the girl in my arms. I set her down on the couch and started to patch up some wounds.

England's POV
I sat there worried, for hours. Finally, she opened her eyes. "H-Hey! How are you feeling?" I asked, smiling worriedly. She looked around, her ocean blue eyes glistened from the lights in the house. Her eyes then locked with mine, her eyes widened and she jumped up. She tried to get off the couch but she ended up clutching her stomach in pain. "Hey, Hey. Calm down, we're not going to hurt." I said in a soft spoken tone, she looked scared. I smiled softly, "I promise you." I said, she then started calming down. I helped her back on the couch, she kept holding her stomach. "Are you okay?" I asked in concern, she nodded softly. I then remembered what the nurse said, I looked down thinking. I shook my head lightly, "What's your name?" I said looking up at her, she looked at me. "M-Melanie." She said softly, I smiled lightly. "What a beautiful name," I said smiling, "I'm Arthur." I said, she sat there. She looked confused. I tilted my head slightly, "Is something wrong Melanie?"
