Terra (A Hetalia Fanfiction)

Music

(Sorry for the lame title, but I didn't know what to call this chapter)

Alice pulled the violin out of the case, and began to tune up with the piano. Mr. Austria apologised for being so late, and asked if everything was okay. Alice nodded her head.

"I've been reading the book you gave me, the one about classical music."

Mr. Austria smiled. "Good girl. Music is a wonderful thing, no?"

Alice smiled. "Of course, Mr. Austria!"

"Okay, we'll warm up with a simple piece."

Alice held her breath as Mr.Austria began playing. What if he found the men in her room? Would he tell Arthur? Arthur would kill the men, then her.

Austria stopped playing. "What's wrong? You missed you're start."

Alice gasped. She totally forgot about playing! Maybe Austria would tell her something. "Mr.Austria, what is a 2p?"

Mr. Austria looked at her with surprise. "Arthur has never told you? Of course he hasn't, he always had to keep his secrets."

"Well, no he has never told me anything."

"Well, a 2p is like a shadow. It's always there, and it's a part of you. A 2p is a country's dark side. They are evil."

Alice sat in silence. Dark side? Evil? Could Oliver really be evil? Alice thought about the cupcake-loving-man, how could such a nice guy be evil?

"You've met a 2p, it was Oliver, no?"

Alice nodded. "Yes, I saw him a long tim ago."

Mr. Austria touched her shoulder. "Don't ever get caught in a 2p's trap."

Alice looked at the seriousness in his eyes. Mr. Austria was very serious.

Alfred quickly ran in. "Dudes, France said he saw Oliver lurking around the house!"

Alice and Austria looked at each other. Austria tightly held Alice's hand. If Oliver was lurking around in broad daylight, he was probably looking for Alice. "Well, what do we do with Miss Alice?"

Alfred shrugged. "Isn't it obvious? We get her out of here immediately and move her to a new place."

"Wait, where and who will be I be staying with?" Alice asked. She didn't want to be ignored in this conversation.

"Well," Alfred stuttered. "Italy and Romano...."

Alice raised an eyebrow. Italy and Romano, the pasta-loving brothers? That's who will be taking care of her?

"Can they actually take care of a child?" Alice asked. "Romano will be too busy yelling at Italy to actually watch me."

"It's either that, or Francis."

"...Okay! When do we leave for Italy?"

"That's what I thought."

Austria glared at Alfred. "Why those two idiots?"

"They seem to be the last place that she'll be with."

Mr. Austria sighed. Alfred probably made this up on the spot.

Alice screamed as the lights turned out. Even though it was sunset, it suddenly got dark. Alice heard footsteps around the room. Oliver was walking around in the dark.

"Poppet, where are you~?" It was Oliver. A second voice joined in.

"Oliver, don't scare the child."

"Whoops!"

Alice felt a hand cover her mouth and drag her under the piano. Alice could feel it was Austria, dragging her to safety.

The lights turned on, and a man, one that Alice didn't recognise, stood in the doorway.

"Prussia?" Austria whispered.

"What are you doing here, 2ps?" Prussia asked harshly.

"Just on a little business, Poppet~!"

Alice crawled out and ran to Prussia. She hugged him. "I was so scared!"

"Don't worry, the awesome Prussia will save you!"

Allan punched Oliver in the arm. "You are an idiot! You scared her!"

"Ow! Allan, that hurt! I'm sorry, Poppet, I didn't mean to frighten you."

Prussia drew his sword. "I think it is time you leave...and never come back."

"Oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh dear. That just won't do. You see, we want Alice to come with us."

"I don't think so, dude."

Prussia picked up Alice bridal style. "Time to go, dear. Don't worry, they will be fine."

Prussia ran, leaving the house behind. Alice obviously knew this wasn't the way to Italy's home. "Where are we going?"

"To my house, of course. Do you really think that those Italian brothers could protect you from those 2ps?" Alice felt silent. The answer was no. "Me and my brother, Ludwig, can protect you with my awesome and his fists!"
