Secrets of the State

Chapter Five

Texas raised an eyebrow at him and looked him over.
    "Ya need somethin?" He asked looking at his sister.
        "Yeah, do you have that soul book? I wanted to read it" Madison asked.
            "Si, I have it" Austin sighed, "let me find it" He went into his room gesturing for them to come in. He walked over to a bookcase and skimmed over the bookshelf.
    "Why do you of all people have a book on soul spells?" Athur asked nervously.
        "Because my soul is out of my body" Austin said like it was nothing.
"What?!" The English man explained.
"SHUT UP!" The voice screamed.
"There's Valentine" Madison laughed.
"Yup" Austin chuckled.
"Quick question, how do you have NO soul"
"I plead the 5th" Austin said quickly, "here it is, tell your demon amigos to not touch my stuff and I'm sorry for the cross" Austin said calmly.
"Will do" Madison smiled.
"Gracias hermana" Austin smiled with his normal half lidded eyes with a lazy smile.
"Do you both do magic?" England exclaimed.
"I dabble, Massa does a lot. It depends on which state" Austin said calmly and shrugged.
"What about America?" The Brit asked.
"Dad does magic, he just doesn't tell you so you won't go looking for our type of magical creatures because they will kill you" Madison explained.
Austin handed over the book, "now get out, it's my nap time" Austin growled.
Shoving both out of his room and slamming the door shut.
    Madison have a happy sigh and smiled, "brothers" as she softly shook her head but she fond smile at the door.
       

Wisconsin slowly helped Virginia walk over to a bench. She sighed and sat down.
    "Are you okay?" The boy asked.
        "Yes, yes i'm fine Magnus. I broke my leg not my spine" Violet sighed.
Magnus, dressed practically head to toe in camo with only a neon orange vest to tell him apart from the forests that surrounded the massive property.
    "I'm just worried" Wisconsin whispered.
        "I'll be fine Maggy, why don't you go help Michigan in the car shop? I'll be fine, just have some fun" Virginia smiled.
"Are you sure?" Magnus asked, Violet nodded.
    Magnus ran off happily leaving Violet on the bench. She sighed and leaned back, West V. would be over soon anyway. She can wait until then.

    "Pass me the wrench" Michigan commanded. The US Virgin Islands, or Vivian.
The little girl totaled over to the tool box and grabbed it and placed it in Michigan's outstretched hand. Illinois watched from her work bench playing on her phone.
    "This car is going to be awesome" the child laughed. She was young, roughly 9 years old.
        "Yeah it is. If dad ever teaches me to drive"
    "Yeah, yeah, You're like 11 Michie" Illinois sighed.
"I'm 12 so shut up" Conner retorted sending Vivian into a fit of giggles.
    "You rest my case, you have to be 15 to drive in the states lil' bro" She laughed.
        "You're just a year older Lucille!" Michigan yelled rolling out from under the car and looking at her with an oil and grease stranded face witch sent Vivian into another fit of giggles.

    "What's goin' on here?" A man asked from the front of the garage.
"Uhhh, who are you?" Lucille asked raising a brow and resting her hand on the knife on her hip.
    "Woah mate, i'm Australia!" The man said, raising his hands in defense.
        "Oh, alright, I'm Illinois but call me Lucille, that's my brother Michigan/Conner and my little sister, US Virgin Islands/ Vivian." Illinois smiled leaning back in her seat.
            "You can call me Jett, what are you doing?" Australia asked looking at the group of three.
    "This is Vermont's car, I'm fixing it" Michigan explained.
        "And he's not allowed to be in the garage alone" Vivian piped up giggling.
"You can stick around if you want, nothing is happening until dinner" Lucille sighed watching Conner slide back under the truck.  Australia sat on the floor and chatted with the strange trio.

There was the familiar click of the radio, "Someone open the gate" Hannah declared over the radio. Purto rico sighed and went over to the gate and opened it letting New Hampshire's car threw.
    He closed it as soon as the car made it threw.
Hannah pulled into the car barn and pulled into her spot and hopped out. Finland got out from the passenger's seat and Belarus following suit brushing off her dressed and taking her suitcase from the trunk.
She heard Hannah over the phone asking where Sealand was, most possibly for Finland.
She picked up her dress a little as she walked on the gravel path way to the guest house. She saw a few nations scattered about and crossed the bridge.
    "Ahola Auntie Natalia!" Hawaii called. Natalia stopped and looked around trying to find the Hawaiian before she looked under the bridge.
    "Oh, Hello" She greeted looking down at Hawaii who was sitting on a surfboard as Little Anastasia clung to it with a life vest on.
    "I'm trying to teach Ana to swim" Makanui announced proudly. Natalia got off the bridge and stood near the edge and tilted her head just a little.
        "I wanted to pet the fish but I can't swim" Anastasia confessed as she was pulled onto the board and Hawaii used her paddle to get closer to the older teen.
    "I see, it seems you are doing well so far"  She commented earning a smile from the white haired girl.
    Finland ran across the yard to the main building and slammed the door so hard most stopped to look at the house.
        "Looks like someone is in trouble" Cadance said in a sing song voice.
    "Hello Nah-Cal" The tiny Alaska giggled.
"Hello Anastasia, Aloha Makanui, Greetings Aunt Natalia" The North Californian greeted.
