You went in and out of consciousness for about two days, and every time you were awake, you saw Italy next to you. When you fully woke up, he hugged you.

“Bella, I told you not to go…”

“Feli, it was fine. We are gonna get out, you have the key I brought, right?” He pulled it out. “Then what are we waiting for?! Let’s go.

“Bella, you are too hurt-”

“Hurt shmirt. I am perfectly fine.”

“There is a Thing at the door, idiota.”

“Oh.” Your face fell. “Well, we could strategize a way past-”

“Jou are hurt. Jou are staying here, in zhis bed, und Italy is stayingk in zhe ozher vone.”

“Germany-”

“Italy!” He then went back in the bed without another word.

“Wait, Feli, you got hurt?!”

“He vas tryingk to kill zhe monster after jou.”

“It was… After me?”

“Do you not remember, Bella?” You shook your head.

“After I saw the blood I don’t remember much.” You looked over at Italy, who was facing the other way. You pulled your eyes away to watch everyone doing stuff-all going out to kill the Oni, you presume. You close your eyes for a moment and when you open them again, everyone is gone except Italy and England. He was by your bed, doing something. You sat up. “Hey, Italy?” You asked for his attention quietly.

“What, Bella?”

“You shouldn’t have gotten yourself hurt for me. I would’ve been fine. It doesn’t matter if I die, as long as you guys get out. All of you have to.”

I don’t want you to deal with this again…

“You shouldn’t be worried about us, Bella.”

“Well I am.” You stood to go use the restroom. When you came back, Italy hadn’t moved. You busied yourself with some random crap next to the bed.

“Bella, you should be resting.” You set what you were doing down calmly.

“Why do you care?”

“Bella-”

“My name is ____, not Bella, now tell me why you care.”

“Because, I do.”

“But why?!” He came over by you and pressed his lips to yours. “Feliciano…”

“Because,” He hugged you and wouldn’t let go. “____, Bella, I love you…”

“I don’t want you hurt… and we can get out. This loop, no one dying.” You hugged him just as tight as he hugged you-if not tighter.

“Even if we didn’t get out this time, I would never forget you, Bella.”

“Don’t say that. We’ll get out. I promise.”

“You cant promise something you cant keep.” You had completely forgotten about Arthur. Until now, making his presence known and raining on your parade at the same time.

“I can keep this one. I can, and I will.” That’s when someone came hobbling in.

“Fratello! The stupid potato bastard messed it up!” He was… bleeding.

“Romano?!”

No…

Your brain couldn’t comprehend it. You had just made a promise, a promise that everyone was going to live this time.

No… this cant be happening…

After everything that had happened, you really weren’t going to get out. You had the key, you had the opportunity… And you weren’t going to come back. If this time failed, you’d never come back. You were almost positive. It wasn’t like you came here willingly. For Christ’s sake, you had fallen asleep in the real world. Not saying this place wasn’t real, but, seriously? Differentiate between reality and fiction, ___!

“Bella?” You had let go and were leaning against the bed frame.

“Feliciano… I’m sorry… I-”

“____,” He grabbed your shoulders. “This is not your fault. Bella, look at me. This is not your fault!”

“Both of you need to come help, bastards!”  You pushed yourself past him and ran downstairs, ignoring the 2dots in your vision. “Idiota ragaz-VENEZIANO!” You see the floor… bloodied.
