ROYALTY SECRETS

chapter 6. Unnoticed Feelings

America's POV

I gently stroked over the bloody line on my ivory skin. The pain lowered down but still gave a burning flame. I sat in the pile of Rose's and tulips, I stroked the beautiful bright red rose, the soft feeling gently rubbing my fingers. The summer breeze brushed against my skin sending a cold shiver through my body. The light rain drops sliding down my face, soothing the scar with it's nicely cold reliever. I let the tears follow the light rain drops.

I looked at the dark clouds that barely covered the bright sun, the sky still a baby blue. Yet dark clouds try to cover its beauty with its moody swings. I sighed, I hid my face in my arms that rested on my knees. I should've known the prince was just using me.....why do I even care? I lifted my arms and put my hands over my face, I gently rubbed my eyes, I traced the straight line of blood. It had a light pain but its bearable. I quietly listen to the whispers of the wind, the grass and flowers dancing with the soft voice. Light footsteps soon was heard, I lifted my head up from my arms. I listen carefully to the footsteps as they got closer, I squinted my eyes trying to think. "Америка" Oh great, Prince Russia is here, yay. "Yes......Russia" I said very light. "I-Im sorry.....I just-" "Russia, no need for apologies" "I didn't mean what I said" I went wide eyed, what did that mean? "What....do you mean?" I said, resting my head on my arms. "I wasnt using you for....practice" he said, fiddling with his fingers. I stayed silent, I gazed at the ground, watching the flowers flow with the wind.

A felt a gentle presence snapped me out of my thoughts, I looked beside me only using my eyes. Russia sat close behind me, hands rested on the ground. "Why did you come here?" I said, cutting the silence. "Worried about you" he said using his accent. I hummed in response, he looked down at me and sighed. I was gently lifted from the ground, Russia had picked me up and placed me in his lap. I was looking at his face which had a small smile. He forced my legs around his waist, I blushed slightly and stared into his eyes. "I didnt mean what I said" He said, smiling. I nodded my head but got a frown in returned. "Please don't be silent towards me" I furrowed my brows and looked down. "Америка....I need to tell you something" He said, with a small smile. "Yes" I said, looking back at him.

"I lo-" Just then the doors busted open, I quickly jumped off landing into a pile of flowers. I stood up and dusted myself off, Japan walked to me with her hands holding each other. "Queen Mexico wants to see you in her room" She said. I nodded and walked past her, that was until a firm hand grabbed my wrist. I tensed up and turned to see Russia. "Yes, Russia" I said, relaxing my body.
"What about the thing I was gonna tell you?" He said, rather quickly. "Once I finish my task with your mother, I'll stop by and let you finish, okay?" I said, sweetly. Russia frowned but nodded. I smiled causing him to blush a deep shade of red. I straightened myself up, out my arms behind my back, and took a deep breath. I began to walk formally to the hallway doors.

I walked through the halls, passing maids and other royals. The halls are always empty with barely anybody in, I finally made it to the queen and kings room, I knocked gently on the door to get a deep respond. "Who is it?" A deep Russian responded. "America, king soviet" I heard a groan before shuffling was heard. The door quickly slammed open, to a very irritated Russian. "Gentle, love" Mexico said, she was sitting on the edge of her bed with her hands in her lap.

Soviet groaned once more before pushing me out the way, he left the room shortly after leaving both me and mexico alone. "How's your face?" Mexico said, with a concern tone. "Eh, fine" i replied shrugging. Mexico huffed and glared at me. "You have a slit cut on you cheek and a bruise on the the center of your face" Mexico said, crossing her arms. i sighed and gave a smile. "Been through worse"i said, with a smirk. Mexico pinched the bridge of her nose shaking her head, i chuckled lightly before touching the bruise. "So whatcha need me for?" I smiled. She patted the bed to a spot that was beside her, I nodded before headed forward. I sat beside her, she had her eyes close with a big grin. "Do you like the prince?"

"W-WHAT?!" she bursted out laughing, folding her hand into a fist. She lifted it to her mouth, she opened her eyes which had a shiny moiste to it. "Do you?" She repeated. "I-uh...I don't know!" I said, putting my hands on my hips. "How do you feel when you see him" Mexico said softly. I looked at her "well my stomach feels sick, my face heats up almost instantly, I have a desire to tackle him into a hug annnnd....I wonder what it's like to kiss him....." I said, I could always come out with mexico. She smiled brightly and patted my back, "you love him" She said, cheerfully. I thought about it for minute, then it clicked. "I'm in love with the prince!"

A sudden knock was then heard.....
