Arthur Kirkland's Problem

Chapter 21:

I don't own Hetalia, because Hidekaz Himaruya does!

Arthur felt really awkward as he stood there, looking like a punk, holding a guitar, under a streetlight. People passing by him were giving him dirty looks, and he was tired.

'As soon as you finish, you can go to sleep.'

That got Britain motivated. He thought really hard, thinking of music, and finally came across a tune. It was strange; Arthur didn't recognize it, but it sounded so familiar!

He started strumming the guitar, the tune coming to him bits at a time. (-> THAT'S THE SONG!)

As he played, people stopped giving him dirty looks. They became angry, then annoyed, then curious. Soon after that he was being cheered on, people stopping and video-taping him. A wonderful rushing feeling went through him, and, just as Brenna said he would, he began to see the world a different way.

He blinked, and, instead of people, when he opened his eyes he saw white souls, white that slouched and had evil eyes. They glared at each other and fought using their eyes, and not one of them was happy. More people came, and more fighting came. They flung horrible insults at each other, like they didn't care if that person dropped dead right then.

'It's fine, continue playing. This is what the world really is.' the voice told him.

Arthur was unnerved, but he continued playing.

Eventually, everyone left, and Britain was all alone, still playing the guitar. It was weird- for every song he played, he felt like he was being chained down  even more than the previous song. "Why is that, Alex?" he asked.

'Your body is not used to seeing everything as it is. Play one more song, then you can go home.'

"Okay..." he played another song, feeling as if his very essence was being conquered as he did so.

Then he strummed the last note, and he was transferred to a room. He wasn't wearing what he had been, he was wearing a formal green outfit, the one he always wore to the world meetings. The guitar was gone, and he could see one side of the wall that looked like a big t.v.

"What..? Alex? Alex, what is this?" he called out.

He heard cackling. Then he spoke, "Did you really think that the darkness would leave you alone?"

Realization hit him, full-on. "You tricked me!"

"Right into playing a demon's song! The very one that let's me take over your body! How stupid can you get?"

 "Alex, let me out! I demand that you let me out! Why do you want control over my body?" he asked, although he already knew the answer.

"I'm going to have fun, Arthur! For centuries, I was trapped in your head, and now I'm free!"

"What do you mean by, 'fun'?" Arthur asked suspiciously.

 "You'll see!"

He began to walk, and Britain could see everything that Alex saw. Before long, Arthur knew where he was going. "The school was destroyed! Why do you want to go there?"

"Oh, you stupid fool! They just told you that so Alfred could stay with you! They're trying to get you to remember."

"But I already remember my past."

"They don't know that!"

He walked right in the double doors, straight into the office. For some strange reason, everyone was there. "Everyone! I have an announcement!" he yelled. Everyone turned to him, surprised.
