A Troubled Soul (GermanyxPrussia) Part 3

I've had a few requests for a continuation of this story and I finally had the time and motivation to write it. I actually wrote this in one sitting. I proud of myself. Well I hope I did good for you guys. <3

"I can't believe that scaredy cat tried to run away. Well he's not going to get away from me."

 Prussia POV

I stand by his bed, watching him sleep. He's so exhausted. Come to think about it, so am I. We spent the whole day moving into our new apartment. We were forced to move because of that asshole. I shake my head and laugh to myself. "I can't believe we had to run away...so not my style."  I look back over at his innocent face, relaxed with sleep. "I would do anything for this kid though." 

"Morning kid," I say as he stumbles down the stairs, still half asleep, hair a mess and rubbing his eyes. 

"Hmm? Yea..." He sits down on one of hour stools. I muss up his hair, so happy that he is still here for me to muss up his hair. I look at him and my heart fills with love, and sorrow. It's a very confusing combination of emotions. Love because he is still here with me, and sorrow because he almost wasn't. It was so close. Too close.

"Why are you looking at  me like that?" Ludwig asks, sounding annoyed. 

"Like what?" I say with a smirk, trying to act nonchalant. 

He rolls his eyes. "Don't play dumb," he pauses, "I'm okay now. I promise. You don't have to be so worried about me." He gets up and pours himself a cup of coffee. I watch him, taking a sip from my own cup. How alike we are. 

"Well kiddo, since I "don't have to worry about you" I'm heading to work. I've got kind of a drive so I better go so I'm not late." I reach over to muss his hair again. I pull him in for a hug, planting a kiss on his head. "Have fun and no parties." I give a faux stern look complimenting it with a stern finger and we both laugh. 

Germany POV

I sit down at my computer and turn it on. It begins to hum and I sit back. I take a sip of my coffee. I know my doctor wouldn't like me drinking this but I don't care. I do everything else I'm supposed to. I take my medications, I write in my journal, and I text my brother every half hour. I think I deserve some coffee. I have to take my medication in a few minutes. Everyday at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. I've been diagnosed with severe clinical depression. So I've been zombified. 

My computer is patiently waiting for me so I turn my attention to it. I open up my online school. We all thought this would be the best choice for me. At least until I'm more...stable. I enjoy this much better than going to wretched public school. No one can bully me here. 

The alarm on my phone goes off. Pill time! I go over to the safe that my brother got. It can only be opened at the designated times and with the code my brother changes way too often. I pop the happy looking blue colored pill. I sit back down at my computer and settle into the routine of school. 

I hear the door open but I don't think anything of it. I finish up what I'm working on with school and then I get up. I look at my phone and see that it is just after noon. Lunch time. Gilbert always comes home to eat lunch with me. When I get downstairs, no one is there. I find it a little strange but just go and sit down in the kitchen. 

I notice a piece of paper on the counter and pick it up expecting a note from Gil. I stare with horror at this seemingly innocent piece of paper. 

Think you can run away from me? Think again. I know where you are and I will get you. See how easy it was to get to you. You were lucky I'm in a good mood today. But you better watch out. You never know when I'll come. If you tell anybody I will kill you. 

I start hyperventilating, tears building up in my eyes. He's found me. How the fuck did he find me! Why the fuck did he come looking for me anyway! As I'm standing there I hear the door open again. I start screaming and scramble to find something to protect myself. I reach for a knife from the drawer and brace myself against the wall. My eyes blur with tears so bad that I can barely see so when a figure comes running at me I swing hoping to hit something. The person grabs my arm, gets the knife away, and pulls me into his chest. 

Prussia POV

"Luddy! Hey it's okay." I hold him to my chest, setting the knife on the counter. He's screaming and thrashing so hard it's no wonder he doesn't hear me. "LUDWIG!" I don't want to do this but he's hysterical. I slap him across the face, his head snaps over and then he looks at me wide eyed. I see him recognize me and then he is clinging to me. He sobs so violently that it scares me. I just hold him and somehow we end up on the kitchen floor, him sitting in my lap like a child. 

Once he has calmed down some I ask him what happened. He hands me the note. It shakes because his hands are trembling. I read the note and everything goes red. I actually growl at the end. 

"Gil? Gilbert?! What are you doing?! Stop!" He grabs onto my arm and pulls me to a stop. When did he get strong enough to do that? "We have to go to the police." I say  more to myself than to him. "He'll kill us!" He shouts at me. 

I hold his face in both of my hands forcing him to look into my eyes. "I would never let him or anyone else lay a hand on you. I swear." I pull him in for a hug, needing to feel him safe in my arms. I can't believe something almost happened while I was at work. I won't let something happen again. I'll protect him even if it kills me. 

Later that night, I finally got Ludwig to go to sleep. I had to lay in his bed with his head resting on my chest. We had been at the police station most of the day. Good thing my boss is very understanding. Though they weren't much help to us. There wasn't much they could do, except telling us to move which we had just done. I'm not about to make him move again. 

Germany POV

My eyes fly open when I hear a sound. My brother is next to me in the bed, his back facing me. I get up thinking I'll just go and check out the noise. I am probably just imagining the sound anyway. I creep slowly downstairs. I think I see something but when I turn my head nothing is there. When I get closer to the kitchen something moves behind me and I whip around. 

"Well, well, well. It's finally come. Time for me to kill you." Ivan says. I stare at him wide eyed. I start to panic but I stop myself. I need to focus. 

"Why? Why did you have to search for me? Why couldn't you let me be?" With a lightning fast movement that I would never have thought someone of his size was capable of he pins me up against the wall by my throat. I thrash and claw at him but it doesn't do me any good. He's simply more powerful than I am. 

"You made me look like a fool. I know you were going after my girl. I can't let you get away unpunished." He pulls out a gun, shows it off, holding it up in the light. My heart is beating uncontrollably, and I feel lightheaded from the lack of air. "This is going to be good." He slowly holds the gun up to my head, a sick grin on his face. I close my eyes and pray that he won't hurt my brother. "Gil, I love you. I'm sorry." Then a gunshot. 

I am terrible...aren't I? I'm sorry for the cliffhanger but don't worry there will be a part 4 (the final part I think) I love suspense don't you? I literally had an aha moment when I realized this was the ending I wanted. It was pretty funny. As always you guys are amazing. Make sure you comment, vote and Love <3 That's the most important. 

PEACE, LOVE & DOITSU!!!!
