The Shop Keeper

(Pic by keinjidark again I know I used this pic already it just works)

"hey! Wake up! HEY!" USSR woke up to see the face of a man. He had a large beard and looked like he was in his late 40's. 

"um...what? who are you?" he faintly asked.

"I'm Nikita, I run a small shop in Moscow, oh and over there is Sasha my little girl" a little way to USSR's left was a cute girl about age 7, she was playing in the snow with Russia.

"Oh well hello Nikita, I'm USSR however you probably already knew that"

"indeed I keep up to date with my contry. speaking of which when did the little one show up?"

"oh yesterday, I found him out here in the snow"

"Oh wonderful, so I presume you're making your way back to Moscow?"

"No..."

"No?"

"my father has threatened to kill any child of mine in the past, and so to keep him safe I'm rasing him out hear"

"ah smart, you must be a good father, giving up your place in Moscow for a place hear in the woods."

"I try, plus I enjoy the cabin better" at this point Russia noticed his father was up and ran to him.

"Daddy I made a new friend! her name is Sasha!" Russia said.

"oh wonderful, I'm happy your making friends" USSR got up with a little help from Nikita. 

"So what's with the tree?" the shop keeper asked.

"Oh, I'm bringing it home for firewood" the large contry responded.

"well, that's a 2 man job is it not? come on than the kids will lead the way and we'll get this thing to your home" Nikita grabbed one side of the log well USSR grabbed the other. together they soon arrived at home. they left the tree outside and went it. 

the fire was almost dead at that point. Nikita looked around the room untell he spotted something in the corner. he pointed to it and then to the fire. Sasha understood and grabbed the object, a fireplace bellow. it took a while but the fire was soon brightly burning. 

"that's amazing, I'm sorry I'm not used to using things like that" USSR seemed embarrassed.

"Oh that's ok, you're not used to doing that," Nikita said smiling.

"Daddy, I'm hungry," Russia said looking up at his father.

"I know I am to" USSR went to the kitchen to see if they had anything to eat, all that was left was some canned soup, it wasn't fancy but it would have to do. he opened the cans, teated up the soup, and distributed it into 4 bowls, one for each of them. USSR new he could last a long time without food and so didn't keep a lot hear, but he knew he wouldn't get away with not eating. 

"hears dinner" he placed the food on the small table. the 2 small families sat down and started to eat. the countries haven't eaten in a while and so ate a lot quicker than the humans, more desperate to fill their stomachs. 

It was a nice meal, and by the end of it Nikita had caught on to the fact that this was the only meal they had. 

"you know me and my daughter often deliver food and water to people out here, you could become one of our clients" The older man suggested.

"oh that would be wonderful and then we wouldn't have to go into town," USSR responded.

 "Indeed, then it's settled we will be back tomorrow" the 4 of them soon said their goodbyes then Nikita and Sasha went on there way. 

"Alright I suppose it's time for us to go to bed," USSR said to his son.

"Can Wojtek come to?"

"yup he'll sleep in your bed and keep you safe"

"Really?!"

"yup you'll be safe with him"

"Yay, will you sleep with me too?"

"Not tonight, I'll be in my room, but if you ever get scared just come get me and I'll take care of it ok?"

"ok daddy, I love you" He gave his father a big hug wich USSR loved.

"I love you too, now let's get you tucked into bed." they went into Russia's room and USSR trucked his son into bed.

before going to bed himself the thru some of the sticks on the dying flame to keep it burning. he smiled knowing he could stay out here, just the two of them.

The year was 1882, 5 years before Aleksandr would pay for keeping his promise to help the USSR, 35 years before Lenin would be officially in power, and 40 years before the world be changed forever. 

(hey thanks for reading. Nikita and Sasha aren't historical figures as far as I know. I figured I should put some normal people in this story too. I did include some history at the end. if you have any questions you can ask them in the comments. anyway, have a nice day)
