Arriving in the cold land of Moscow, Russia, Matthew looked at the winter wonderland. He wrapped his woolly coat around himself tighter. Walking to the address that was on the slip of paper that England gave him, Matthew arrived at a mansion. His eyes widened at the size of the house, he could only imagine to think how it looked inside.

Remembering what England said,

“Be careful of Russia!”

Matthew hesitantly knocked on the door, not a second later the door slowly opened. A small boy that looked around 15 was standing in the doorway shaking slightly.

“H-Hello?” The boy asked, his voice nearly as quiet as Matthew’s.

“Uh, hello. My name is Matthew. I was wondering if Russia was here?” The boy’s eyes widened further and Matthew noticed he had started shaking even more.

“Y-Yes… Please c-come in.” The boy stepped aside letting Matthew in. “M-My name is Raivis, but you can j-just call me Latvia.”

“Thank you La-“ But before Matthew could finish talking a tall man with blonde hair and glasses walked into Matthew. The man didn’t apologise though, he immediately saw Latvia and yelled, “LATVIAAAAAAA!”

“Estonia, p-please be quiet. W-We don’t want to m-make Mr. Russia angry.” Latvia said with wide eyes.

“Aah! What’s going on? Mr. Russia is very angry, he wants to see you straight away Latvia.” Fear was seen in Latvia’s eyes.

"Okay, thank you for telling me, Lithuania."

Grabbing Matthews coat sleeve, the small boy pulled Mattie further into the house. Opening a door that led to a study, Latvia hesitantly stepped inside pulling Matthew with him.

“M-Mr. Russia? You wanted to see me?”

A large man standing next to a window looking at a tall vase of sunflowers replied. “Yes, Latvia. I wanted to know why you invited this person into my house without my permission.”

“S-Sorry sir. He said he wanted to see you.”

"Did he now? Well, you can leave, let me talk to him." Latvia immediately left the room, Matthew could hear his footsteps walk down the hall and it wasn't hard to hear Estonia yell, "LAVTIAAAAAA!"

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Russia looked over at Matthew, a creepy smile plastered on his face.

"I was wondering if you could help me with something?"

"And what would that be?"

Matthew took out the crumpled note from his pocket and pulled the text up on his phone, handing it to Russia.

"I don't understand this... How am I suppose to help you? I have never seen you-" Suddenly, the sound of the front door bursting off of it's hinges came from further down the hall and someone call, "Big Brooooooother~"

"What is she doing here?!" Grabbing Matthew's arm, Russia threw Matthew into the cupboard on the other side of the room and stepped into it himself.

"Big Broooooother~ Where are you? Let us become one, Big Broooother~" The voice of a girl was at the study door. Soft footsteps entered the room and stopped in front of the cupboard. Matthew heard the door knob slowly turning and the door opened slightly.

Russia was shaking and Matthew wasn't looking forward to what was on the other side of the door. Before the door could be opened any further, Matthew heard someone yell from the down the hall.

"Russia! What did you do to Shinatty-chan, aru?!"

The girl walked out of the study.

"Who are you? Have you came to take big brother from me?"

"No! Why would I want Russia, aru? I just want my Shinatty-chan back, aru!"

While the two voices continued arguing, Matthew and Russia had crept out of the cupboard and were looking at the scene in the hallway.

A chinese man holding a wok was standing at the door, while a girl wearing a dress with long hair and a bow on her head stood closer to the study.

"You are not allowed anywhere near big brother! Leave or you will regret coming here!" The girl yelled pulling out a knife from her dress. Matthew gulped hoping the man would leave so things wouldn't get bloody.

"I'm not leaving without Shinatty-chan, aru!" The chinese man lifted his wok above his head and ran at the girl, "Aiyaaaaah!"

At the same time, the girl ran at him with her sharp knife raised.

Just before the girl reached the Chinese man, the wok slammed down and the floor boards broke causing the girl to trip and fly past the man, out the door. She landed face first in the snow, Russia quickly ran past Matthew and the Chinese man and locked the front door. Quickly, the Russian man grabbed the Chinese man's and Matthews arms and pulled them into a dark basement.

"Russia! What are you doing, aru? Just give me Shinatty-chan already so I can leave, aru!"

"I would but I don't have your Shinatty-chan."

"What do you mean, aru? Where did you put it, aru?"

Russia was about to reply when banging was heard at the front door.

"Big broooooother~ Please let me in~ We can become one, that's what you want. Right~"

"Why can't she just leave and never come back?" Russia whispered gripping onto the Chinese man's arm. "China, help me!"

"Let go of me, aru!" So this man was China? Did this count as finding another country?

As if listening to his thoughts, a text came into his phone making it vibrate in his pocket. Before he could reach it, a demonic voice was heard upstairs.

"Marry me, marry me, marry me, marry me, marry me, marry me..." Russia whimpered from behind him and China. Matthew sighed, this was going to be a long day.
