The Hope In The Dark

Breaking Point

Russia's POV
1,2,3,4. I have finally locked the door.
Viktor walked towards me.
5,6,7,8. Can I stem this endless hate?
Viktor never smiled all that much. Only when he was allowed to kill or harm.
9,10,11,12. In your hands my heart is held.
He smiled now.
13,14,15,16. I think I'm going to stop resisting.
"Ivan, I think you know what's going to happen.
17,18,19,20. My desolate thoughts are now way too many.
"Except, they're going to know." My eyes widened. "Goodbye, Ivan Braginski." And the world turned dark.

"Denmark?" exclaimed America. The man snorted. "Technically yes. I forgot that we look alike. Maybe I should ask Sindre to light fire to him. Then people won't mistake us again, no one'll recognize him then anyways." The other nations exchanged confused glances. However Finland glared at the man. "You won't touch him again!" he said with a face full of hate for the man. The other nations were now even more confused, wasn't this Denmark that Finland was talking to? What could cause Finland to hate Denmark? Who was Sindre? "Will you at least let us get rid of the knives?" "The WHAT?" asked Italy, shaking. "But that is the sign of my handiwork." said the man. "Let us take them." growled Finland. "Fine." sighed the man. The man stepped aside to reveal Denmark slumped to one side of a chair, one knife lodged in his heart and a 6 stab wounds across his chest. A few knives littered the floor next to the chair. "D-Denmark?" America stuttered. Finland rushed over to Denmark. He picked up the knives and gingerly pulled the knife in Denmark's chest out. The other nations stayed by the door. "He shouldn't stay dead forever." said France. "After all, he is a nation." "Oh, I don't know about that." all of the nations heads snapped up to stare at the man. In their astonishment they had forgotten about him. "Who are you aru?" asked China. "Markus Køhler, 2p Denmark. Call me Denmark, because you don't deserve to call me by my name." "So Denmark, what do you mean you're not so sure that he will revive?" asked France. "I mean that since I am in this world, there are two representatives, and therefore his presence is not needed, as there is another representative of Denmark. Me." The other nations were shocked into silence. "Our life force link has been severed." "What do you mean by that?" asked Germany, breaking the silence. "By me crossing into this world I broke our life force link. Ever wonder why you come back to life? It's because you share a life force link with your 2p. When you die, some of your 2p's life force flows through your link and revives you, and vice versa. Then the life force regenerates after time. I broke our link by coming here, so he's as good as dead now." The nation's were silent. "He's... never coming back?" asked Finland. "Not likely." replied Markus. Finland's gaze hardened. "Why would you get rid of your way to regenerate?" "One, I don't plan on dying, and two," he grinned, "I couldn't care less if I did die. Now, I would prefer to not have to answer stupid questions anymore. But before I leave, have you noticed that not all of you are here?" with that, he closed his mouth and strode out the door. They could hear his footsteps go down the stairs. "Who isn't here?" said Germany. "We'll do a role call. One at a time. Italy!" "Here!" "France!" "Here!" "China!" "Here aru!" "America!" "The HERO is here!" "Japan!" "Here." "Finland!" "Here!" "Spain!" "Here!" "Prussia!" "Here!" "England!" Silence. "Russia!" Silence. "Romano!" Silence. A pause."Dude you forgot Canada!" "Sorry, Canada!" "Silence." "How did we not notice how many were missing?" asked Japan. "I don't know, but we have to find them, fast!" said Spain worriedly. They left Finland to clean Denmark up and the group trooped downstairs. They hadn't looked around when they got here. "We need to split into groups to find everyone." Germany said. "A group should stay here to see if anyone is around this area, and the rest of us go in groups to check where the others were staying. We'll meet up at the World Meeting place afterward. We have 2 hours to find them before we meet up. Who will go find Russia?" "I'll go aru." said China. "Anyone else?" asked Germany. "I will go." said Japan. "We need one more." reasoned Germany. "I'll go." said France. "We can take my car." said Japan. "Who will go to find Romano?" "I will!" Spain said quickly. "I will go too!" said Italy. "I'll go as well then." said Germany. "Who will go to find Canada?" "Me!" shouted America. "I vill." said Prussia. "Before we go to the Meeting place we will all go to England's house. Which group will stay here first?" "We will." said France. Each group walked outside to the cars and drove off. France, China, and Japan walked in different directions in the house. China found Norway on the couch in the living room, whispering, "He didn't wake up. He didn't regenerate. He's not waking up." over and over, staring at the wall blankly. He remained unresponsive even after gently waving a hand in front of his face. "He's gone." Norway whispered. Japan found Iceland in his room at the end of the hall on the second floor. Japan knocked on the door. "Who's there?" Iceland asked. "It's Japan." Iceland opened the door. "Hi." he avoided Japan's gaze. "Are you okay?" Japan asked softly. "It's just... he's... dead." Iceland said quietly. "It must've been a shock." Japan said. "Yeah..." Iceland mumbled. "We WILL find a way to get him back." said Japan. "You're just saying that to comfort me, aren't you." Iceland said, in a way that was more of a statement than a question. "No, I mean it." Japan said. He met Iceland's unconvinced stare."Maybe you should go find Norway?" "Yeah." Iceland replied. France found Sweden and Finland in the kitchen, and decided not to bother them. After checking the house thoroughly, they regrouped and got in Japan's car and drove to Russia's hotel. They went to his floor level and opened his door. (Don't ask me how, they just did.) What they found sent shivers up their spines, and made France cover his mouth to prevent a small yelp.
