"What about you, what are you going to do?"

As Philippines sat down she couldn't help but think about the plan she decided to do today. Today is a very important day, it is the day the three of them will escape from his quarter. But, Philippines couldn't help but think about the consequences that she'll make. "Do you like green tea?" a familiar voice asked. "Now I remember..." she said through herself as she turns around and saw Japan sitting from the opposite side of the hallway. There they sat drinking freshly made green tea, while watching the raindrops hit the ground. The sky didn't brighten up a little, it's still dark and dull just like that night before she decided to go with him.

Suddenly, Japan taps her shoulder while looking at her with a worried expression. "Are you alright? You look sick..." Japan said, Philippines looked away with a sad expression on her face. "Can I really do it to him?" she asked through herself. "I have to...or else, we might not escape from his quarter." She took a deep breath and left a smile on her face. "I'm sorry for making you worry, Japan. Yes, I do, I like green tea." she said and slowly drinks her tea.

"I see, I'm glad." he said and smiled, Suddenly Japan took something out of his pocket and gently put it on Philippines wrist. It's a bracelet made out of cute little beads. Since Japan are good with his crafts, he probably made it by himself. "Wow, it looks beautiful but why are you giving me such an important thing?" she asked.

Japan looked outside and closed his eyes. "I want you to cherish that present. Because tomorrow you might not see me ever again." he said and look in her direction. "Japan...what are you talking about?" Philippines asked while her eyes slowly widen. "I have to go back to them, my friends need me. I have to go back to war." he said and slowly reach his hand to her hair. "I'm sorry, But if I managed to come back, I promised I'll make you happy. So please, take care of yourself for me."

Philippines slowly felt terrible, she felt ashamed so she decided to confess the truth. Philippines stands up making Japan startled for a moment. "Philippines?" he called. She throws a knife away from her and immediately ran towards Japan.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Japan. I'm sorry I doubted you, I'm sorry I lied to you yesterday I thought you changed, now I know the reason. Finally, finally, I can be assured that you are really not a threat. I hope you can forgive me." Philippines said while feeling relieved towards Japan, she hugged him but then for some reason, Japan hugs back. "I know." he whispered.

Japan back off a little and held her hand. "I know yesterday that your lying..." he said while giving her a smile, suddenly Japan broke one of her fingers making her screamed in pain. Philippines started to cry and she bends down crying for her broken fingers. Japan on the other hand stands up and walks towards the knife that Philippines throw earlier. "Just as I expected, you cant stab me." he sighs, "That's...that's because...I still have this faith that your still Japan that I knew..." Philippines said while enduring the pain. "Shut your mouth..."

Japan walk towards her and pulled her by her hair. "He changed you, didn't he?" he whispered towards her ear. "You couldn't hurt someone? You couldn't kill someone? What happened to you, you've changed..." Philippines beg for him to let her go but Jpan only stared at her and remained silent. "Why?! Why are you doing this?! Why are you hurting your friends!?" she screamed. "...I'm doing this for---"

Suddenly, Japan stopped like he's realizing something. "You planned this arent you?" he asked and once again he pulled her by her hair and drags her with him. Japan went to the room when he locked Indonesia. He opens the door and then he smiled. "Great work, you really made me believed that you actually care for me." he said and throw her inside of the room.

Philippines gasp as she Japan kicked her, she looked around, and there she saw walls filled with large scratches, then there this tally marks written by someone's blood. "What...what did you do to her?" she asked while Japan grab her face. "The room is filled with indication, I know that your smart enough to get what I said." he said.

"I...I hate you." she whispered making him angry. "What? You hate me? Thats impossible, you loved me." he said. "Well, it doesn't matter. If you hate me then I'll make you love me." Japan kneel down towards her and took her hands. "I'll break every finger you have until you confess your love to me..."

"Alright, shall we begin?" Japan smiled and kisses her lips before breaking another finger.

Hours passed, he broke three of her fingers until she finally decided to say she loved him. Even though she didn't mean it, Japan stopped. "I think you already heard this but we wouldn't be in this kind of situation if you just stay still." he said. "Let me...go..." she said weakly. "Just like your sister, you're saying the same line as her." he chuckled. "Don't worry, the pain will fade soon. Now be a good girl and stay here okay?"

Japan stands up and stared at her for a second. "I'll bring them back and if you try to escape..."

"I'll kill you."

After that, Japan left the room leaving poor Philippines behind. He locked the door assuring that she will never escape from him. "You're mine, only mine, and you will always be mine."

On the other hand, Japan did beat her causing her to have a lot of bruises and scratches. More than that he broke three of her fingers. Philippines couldn't help but cry and hoping that Taiwan and Indonesia finally escapes. "...A...me...rica..." she called weakly as she crawls towards the door. "Help...me..."

Its been two days since the escape, Japan didn't find the two but in return, he beat Philippines every night for his pleasures. Philippines health became terrible and terrible every night. She couldn't even walk, her legs were filled with bruises. Until then, he came. "Where is she!?" a familiar voice shouted from outside of the room. "Answer me!! Where did you hide her!?" Like a light, America destroyed the door and immediately saves her from his darkness. "Philippines! Philippines!! Wake up, America---America is here! Look! Open your eyes!" He said as he tried to wake her up. Slowly, Philippines eyes open revealing nothing but fear and sadness. "America...you came..." she said weakly, but after that, she passed out. "H-hey! Philippines?! Hey, wake up!!"

"J-Japan...you did this to her?" America asked while gently putting her in his arms. But Japan remained silent. "How....How can you do this to her?!" he rages and punched him in the face. He pulled his shirt and pushed him against the wall. America's eyes widen as he saw Japan crying. "I...I'm sorry." is the only thing he said.
