Secrets Revealed

•Chapter One•

"Daddy?" Alfred questioned suddenly eyes wide, "Do you promise you'll always love me?"

"Of course I will poppet." Arthur cooed.

"Ok Daddy I trust you cause you're the best daddy ever!" Alfred exclaimed. "I'm going to be a hero when I grow up just like you and you'll be proud of me."

"I'm sure you will poppet," Arthur replied as he placed the tiny child on his lap. "I love you Alfred and I always will."

"Those had all been lies hadn't they?" Alfred thought as he struggled to act like the oblivious America amidst all the meets, insults and taunts. "He doesn't love me, he hates me he even told me so himself. I'm just a useless waste of space. I wish I could make him proud of me."

"I wish somebody besides Alfred and Papa would remember me," Canada sighed. "Maybe if I spoke a little louder they would hear me but I would never be able to compete with Alfred's volume. Does wishing he would just shut up for once make me a bad older brother?"

Next the purple eyed nation France and England had once again began to engage in a pointless argument that would lead to an even more pointless fight.

"Stupid potato bastard! Let go of my fratello!" Romano cursed. "Don't take him away from me even if I can never be as good as him." He thought sadly.

At the head of the table Germany sat with a small Italian on his lap while another one hurled insults at him. Feliciano has a wide smile on his face even as he cried on the inside.

"Please remember Germany, please remember being Holy Rome. Please don't leave me again. Tell me what I did wrong so I can fix it." Italy internally begged.

Next to North Italy sat Japan who was busy scribbling away on a small notepad and agreeing with everything the American said.

"Oh America- kun must you make such a fool of yourself to everyone? Even if you are much younger than everyone else perhaps it is better to leave the childishness behind at meetings." The Japanese wondered. "But it might also be my fault for encouraging him. *Gomen'nasai America- San."

"Pay your debt, aru!" China demanded to the blond American.

"Why won't you call me big brother anymore? Why do you hate me? Japan left China but did Kiku have to leave Yao?" China thought somberly as he inched away from Russia and closer to Japan.

"Become one with mother Russia, da?" The very light blonde haired nation demanded. "I don't want to be lonely anymore." he added internally.

Suddenly a bright flash of light occurred that left the nations disconcerted and disoriented. Copreal figures began manifesting behind several nations. Some were quick to react like America while others like Canada remained in shock.

"What do you want Mother?" Alfred demanded wide eyed while his young body tensed. "Haven't you ruined my life enough already?"

"Have some respect for the savage you bloody idiot," England retorted. "I raised you better than that you fat git."

Alfred glared back slightly at his former caretaker while he tried to keep his body from trembling.

"Demon child," A black haired, slightly translucent woman greeted. "Pale face."

Alfred bit his lip and then placed his hand into his rather deep pocket and slid out a gun. "Now tell me why in the name of the Great Spirit you're back Mother."

"My little Amérique that is no way to treat a lady." Francis interjected.

"Do not be mistaken you frog that is no lady rather a savage." England said as he examined the glare off between Native America and her youngest son.
