Once the Sun Sets (Hetalia)

Grandma and the Forest

"West, you can put me down. I can walk." Gilbert stated in German as he squirmed.

"Nein, don't worry. I can still carry you, I think we'll only be going for another hour and a half anyway." Ludwig replied.

"How much longer are we going aru? I feel like we've already been walking for hours!" China complained.

"Woah, calm down, old man; we've only been walking for thirty minutes." Alfred yelled back. "Don't worry guys! We'll be there before you can say pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis! "

They were able to say it successfully (after a long time of practice, errors, and cursing) and they did not arrive on time.

"Why have we not arrived yet?" Francis complained. "The sun is already on the other side of the forest! Are you sure you didn't get us lost?"

"Well, we've been walking in a straight line. It's impossible for us to get lost! I must have underestimated the distance..." Alfred trailed off.

"I doubt that." Ludwig stated. "I've seen this tree several times already." He stared at a huge tree that towered over the others.

"Well, to be sure. Let's leave a mark." Arthur picked up some leaves and sticks and arranged them into a pile.

"You alright, Romano? Veneziano?"

"I'm alright, you jerk. I just feel like somebody's watching us."

"Me too! And I feel negative energy around this tree, it's scaring me." Feliciano shivered. They continued walking after that.

"Say, I this I've seen this mound several times too." Matthew said as he curiously towered over the mound.

"Stay away from that, idiota!" Romano yelled as he harshly pulled Matthew away. His face turned red when he realized what he had just done. "Chigi! Stop staring, asshats! Let's just go!" Only a few minutes later did they encounter a large tree and a pile of sticks and leaves at the foot.

"What! That's impossible! We've been walking in a straight line!" Alfred spluttered.

Ivan gasped. "Oh no! Could it be we've angered or offended a spirit and so they're confusing us?"*

"What?! A haunted forest?! No!!!" The American wailed.

"Hold on, we're not sure yet. How about we head left and face forward again?" Kiku proposed and since nobody else had a better idea, they went with it. After ten minutes of walking, they came across a little nipa hut.

"See, we've come across new scenery. We weren't lost!" Spain cheered.

"Well how about we ask whoever lives there how to get out this bloody forest?" England marched straight up and knocked on the bamboo door. It opened and they found themselves face to face with a kind-looking, elderly woman. She had dark skin and graying hair and eyes. She wore a hat of woven material, a white long sleeved shirt, and black pants.
