Chapter 14

Russia and I spent around an hour and a half playing around on the ice.
He's a surprisingly good teacher.
My legs slipped out from under me multiple times but he was always there to catch me.
I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy his touch.
Eventually I began getting the hang of it and I slid around the ice, giggling like a little kid-

Thud
I take back that previous statement, I am NOT getting the hang of it.
"Is it fun? Falling on your ass so much?"
Russia bent down in front of me and cocked his head to the right.
"Oww, nooo!"
I whined, trying to get up again, but failing and slipping on the frozen liquid again.
Russia looked at me with a amused look and gave me a stupid grin

"Tired yet? You know we can go inside whenever you want."
I shook my head profusely.
"Hell no! It's fun out here!"
I got up and started sliding as fast as I could away from him.
"Come back here!"
He jokingly growled

"Nu! Get away from me-ouch"
I hit a hard surface, jesus, why is there a tree here- wait. I'm in the middle of a frozen late. I'm pretty sure trees don't grow in the middle of lakes, and I'm pretty sure they're not warm.
Then I head the cough. I looked up- and fell back in shock.
Ow, I'm gonna feel that for a while.
"O-oh! Hello Meri! How are you?"

America stood in front of me with crossed arms, glaring intensely at Russia.
Oh man, if looks could kill, Russia already would be dead on the floor.
Russia made his way over to me and placed his hands on my shoulders.
The tension in the air was so thick you could basically see it.
They were looking at each other with such hatred I couldn't help but wonder what happened to caused this.

"Um, Earth to Russia and America?"
I joked, trying to break the silence
"Houston I believe we have a problem."
America joked back.
"What seems to be the problem?"
"It seems as if there's a large meteorite blocking the path ahead of me."

Russia sneered at him and clutched me closer.
"убирайся к черту от нас ты ублюдок"
(Translation: get the hell away from us you bastard.)
America chuckled darkly.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Guys, please-"

"No, Russia. Repeat what you said."
"With pleasure! Убирайся. к. черту. от. нас. ты. ублюдок!" Russia smirked in his face, silently challenging him to speak
America clenched his teeth and glared right back at him.
Russia pushed me aside and shoved him in the chest.

"Jesus guys, you're acting like crazy people ."
They both turned to me, quite obviously they had forgotten that I was even there.
I groaned and pinched the ridge of my nose.
"Can you two NOT act like a bunch of insane asylum escapees?"
They both sighed and Russia stuck out his hand to America.
"Truce?"
"Truce. For now."

"Now, America! Why are you here?"
His eyes lit up.
"Oh yeah! I was driving past this way and I saw a guy in the edge of the woods. Didn't you see him?"
I shook my head.

"No..?"
I started looking around, scared and concerned.
"W-where did you see him?"
America pointed to an area close to us
"There."
I felt Russia tense up and his eyes turned panicked and frantic.
"Stop joking around like that. It's not funny."
He snarled

"I'm not joking! I'm being deadly serious!"
I began shaking even more. My eyes darted around the seemingly endless forest.
I thought I caught a glimpse of a humanoid shaped figure but within a second, it was gone.
"I think I saw something over there."
Russia immediately grabbed America's arm and pulled us both into his house.
"We're staying here until we're safe."

??? POV

Shit shit shit shit, I've been spotted.
Oh god, I'm fucked! wait. Are they going inside?
Oh thank god.
That American bastard, of course he had to tell her-
"Have they seen you yet?"
"No."

"Thank god! Are you okay?"
I had to hold my phone away from my face at how loud the person on the other line was.
"Shut up, shut up, shut the hell up."
"Okay okay, but are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"I think Uk is onto you. You need to be careful"
"What?! And you wait until now to tell me?!"
"Shush! You don't want to draw attention to yourself!"

"You're right."
"Are you sure though?"
"What?"
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes."
"Okay, but, that's one thing I need to know."
"What is that?"

"Why? Why are you working with them? You know what could happen if they find us!"
"I know. But I need to keep HER away from us. From you."
"You don't need to. She's nice, she's not like them."
"You know that I don't trust them. I never will."
"Give her a chance! She's a lovely person! Please, for me."

"What chance is there to give? Her family's done enough."
"Trust me, she isn't like her family."
"You don't know that."
"Yes I do! I've met her! You've met her! You know her!"
"...she could have changed though."
"Fine. Don't talk to her, don't catch up on past memories! Just judge her because she's part of her family."

"I didn't mean it like that, I meant it like-"
"No no! Keep on helping them! I'm not stopping you!"
"Poland I-"
Bzzzz
He hung up.
It couldn't hurt to see her again...would it?
Should I?
I mean, if she had changed then, I guess
I should.

Y/n's POV

Ding dong!
Russia motioned for me to sit on the sofa and for America to come with him.
America looked out the blinds and Russia looked out the peephole in the door.
He obviously saw someone he recognised and hopefully trusted so he opened the door.

"Oh hey! Funny seeing you here!"
