RUNAWAY

"How?! How is she there?!" Finland yelled. He  was confused beyond his knowledge. He just accepted she was dead. How did she come back alive?

"Now calm down," Erna sternly said. Finland sighed, trying to calm his beating heart. "We have a theroy that she is a replica of your sister, Glenia,"

"What do you mean by 'replica'?" Norway asked calmly with his legs crossed over each other.

"Well...We did some tests on her before you met her," Erna said "But don't worry. These did not hurt her,"

Thinking, the woman said "She has the same interests as Glenia. She liked the look of a painting that was made by a famous painter in Glenia and she liked to watch the anime we gave her," she paused and sighed "But the thing is...She like things Glenia's didn't ever liked. The replica of her ate liver when the actual Glenia's wouldn't touch it. She refused to eat peanut butter when Glenia's loved it. ((Sorry if your allergic to peanut butter)),"

"So she is Glenia but not Glenia as well?" Denmark asked with a saddened tone.

"Yes...she is. It would be more appropriate to say she is a replica of her," Erna explained. The five stayed silent as they let it process in their brains.

"Hurry! Get inside!"

Small feet dashed to the opened door, running inside and taking off their boots. The tall teen sighed in relief and shut it once the five boys were inside.

She was a young girl who was taking care of four* tiny boys. Although the kings of their countries didn't like the idea of the four being raised in the same house, the girl refused to be separated from them, thus they had to be brought up togther.

The downside of the situation was that she had to work as a local citizen of Denmark, where she was staying, and pretend to be a lowly Weaver who made woolly hats coats and gloves in the winter and lighter clothes in the summer

The boys rushed to the sitting room where a raging fire was lit, radiating the room with its warmth. While the five were getting warmed up the only girl went to make hot tea for them to take.

Once finished, she put the five cups on a wooden tray, along with oat biscuits that she made earlier in the day. "Here, hot tea and some biscuits," she said, walking into the room.

The four boys were huddled together, all very cold. The snow on their fluffy hats, coats and scarfs were melted now and turned the once dry and cosy clothing into a mix of discomfort and wetness.

"Quick. Drink it up before you get colds, little ones," Glenia cooed gently. Denmark smiled and took a mug, blowing on the hot liquid before slurping it.

"Mmm, honey," he giggled, drinking more of it. Sweden then took one, along with the others. They all ate the biscuits before rushing up the stairs to get changed.

Glenia sighed sadly, wishing she could bathe the boys. She didn't have enough hot water, just enough for the cold winter.

Following after the hyper boys, she climbed up the creaky steps and to their shared bedroom to see them all dried up and in their woolly pjymas.

"Good. You put them on without my help," Glenia praised. Although she bore no expression, the boys knew she was thankful and proud.

"Uh-huh! We're big boys now!" Finland chirped with a small smile, sitting in his bed.

"Yes, yes you are," Glenia agreed, shutting the door after she went in so the heat wouldn't get in "Come on, go to sleep now. I'll be in my room if you need anything," with that she kissed both of the boys' foreheads and walked out of the small room quietly, so that they could go to sleep easier.

Hours past and still the poor girl couldn't go to sleep. She tossed and she turned, but nothing made her go to sleep.

Slowly, she heard her bedroom door creak open. She sat up on her bed and saw the figure of a child emerge from the darkness.

The figure turned out to be Finland who was tearing up by the second "B-Big sister...I h-had a nightmare o-of the B-Boggey Man*," he whimpered out, bringing his sleeve up to wipe away a falling tear.

Glenia clicked her tongue at the state her little brother was in and got up, scooping the petite boy in her strong arms "You shouldn't think that," She whispered gently in his ears "He only comes when your a bad boy and your not bad. No, nowhere near it,"

Still, the boy cried and desperately hung to his sister as if she would hide him from his fears.

Glenia walked back to her bed and sat Finland in it, climbing into the bed as well. She pulled the duvet over the two of them and snuggled against one another.

The bedroom door creaked open again, and this time, three boys emerged from the darkness.

Looking up, Glenia noticed the shivering boys "Are you scared as well?" Glenia asked tiredly. In response, the boys awkwardly nodded and shuffled together from the cold.

Sighing, she urged them to her, lifting the duvet and shuffling slightly towards the right with Finland in her arms.

Denmark smiled and ran to the bed as the other two followed quicky, climbing into bed and snuggling toward their bigger sister.

Sighing in content, Glenia hugged Finland and Denmark near her. She picked Sweden carefully and placed him beside Finland and pulled Norway closer to
Denmark. She laid down and closed her eyes, falling into a sleep of warmth and peace.

"What do we do...?" Norway mumbled. "We don't know how to raise a girl," Lifting his head up, they were met with a blank violet stare. Only the people dear to him would see the nervousness in his eyes.

"But...We lived with a girl," Iceland said. Thinking, he looked at his pale hands. He relaxed it and stretched them out fully to distract himself.

Sweden grunted and dipped his head low before he spoke "We can look after her. She is family,"

"What are you going to do?" Erna asked with a smile.

*There is four because Iceland wouldn't have been found then. Norway found him and is therefore related to him since his people populated iceland. If it weren't for Norway, Iceland wouldn't probably be the way it is now so...

*Way back in the olden times, the bogey man was a legend made to make little children behave and sleep early, if I can remember correctly. Some countries say that he has long pointy fingers and some say that he eats the flesh of naughty children. All in all, he's just a fairytale :\
