Woods of love

Chapter One

The day was dark and stormy but did that stop America Washington D.C from being very happy today. America was very excited. Today was America's 16th birthday which meant he can go outside like his father promised. 

America couldn't stay still for one moment. He wanted to go outside and explore the forest or just somewhere. He was wearing his normal jacket with the checker pattern and his dark colored pants. He was putting on his black sneakers. His childhood best friends Canada and Germany was on their way so they can show America the town. 

The only place America wanted to go was the forest. He had heard so many stories from his father and his best friends about a huge monster protecting that forest from them or that they have seen the monster at the edge of the forest staring and growling at them.

"Leaving so soon America?" A voice asked.

America looks over his shoulder to see his father, Britain. He nods softly before running to the dark wooden door. Which led him to the outside world he has been longing for, since he was 5 years old.

Once America had opened the door. He was blinded by the light the sun was making. America rubs his eyes a few times as well as blinking to get used to the light since he was never used to this much light at once.

America had taken a few moments to get used to the light.

He runs down the long stone drive way. He stops at the long dark wood fence. He inhales before exhaling knowing he will be able to go to the place he has most been longing for. He puts his hand on one of the opening of the fence so a car can drive through. Anxiety building up his chest. He runs past the fence letting his hands curl into fists. 

America runs past the town seeing a lot of unknown faces. He didn't really have the time to stop or that he wanted to get the forest before noon or a little before noon.

He stops at the edge of the forest. He hears the sound of someone following him "MR.AMERICA!" the person who was following him said. 

America turns around to see a butler, who works for his father, holding his messenger bag which held his pencils and sketchpad. The butler stops in front of America "Sir told me that you forgot your bag" he says handing the bag to America.

America chuckles and rubs the back his hand embarrassed "Oh yeah! I'm so sorry." He says. He puts the bad over his head. The bag rests on his shoulder.

The butler nods before turning and running back to the town to head back to America's house. 

America turns on his heels to face the opening of the forest. The forest was dark and had raindrops falling and landing on leaves or the wet grass below. 

He walks slowly into the forest immediately feel like he was being watched. That didn't stop America from continuing to walk through the forest. He walks deep into the forest.

There was a loud sound of a twig snapping. America turns towards the sound at came from to see a huge red, white, and blue monster growling right at him. The monster had big twisted horns on the top of his head next to his wolf like ears. 

The monster slowly walks up to America still growling. 

America falls on his butt not moving and staring into the monster's threaten green eyes. The monster opens it's mouth showing it's big and sharp teeth. 

Before America knew it, tears quickly sliding down his cheek. He puts his hands up to the monster showing that he was defenseless. America thought he was dead for sure but the monster closes its month and sits down staring at America. 

America was still very shaken. He looks at the monster still on his butt. He couldn't move, he was still very shocked and couldn't stand. The monster stood up and start to sniff America and his bag to see if he was defenseless and which he was.

The monster helps America up with his head. Once America was on his own feet. He grabs his bag and runs to back to the opening of the forest. He didn't turn back to see if the monster was following him. He only wanted to run back to his father's arm which he did when his father was back from a mission or when he was scared. 

Once he made it back to his house. He runs to his father shaking and still crying. Britain takes America in his arms and hugs him as tightly "are you okay?!" He asked. 

America nods his head for a yes. Britain sighs softly knowing America was just shocked. He rubs his son's back and whispering that everything was alright but the moment had to be broken by the loud knock on the door.

The two brakes the hugs. America walks to the door. He opens the huge door to see his two best friends "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" The two yells at America both holding two presents. 

America smiles brightly "aw thank you!" he says as he hugs his best friends. 

Germany and Canada laughs. They all share a huge group hug as Canada's mom, France slides her way in the house "happy birthday America" She says with a bright but kind smile and stands next to Britain. 

Britain smiles at France, blushing dusted on his cheeks. The three best friends pull away from the hug "Come on in" America says as he steps back into the house. Germany and Canada walks into the house. The three runs up into America's room. 

America sits down on the chair that was in front of his desk. Germany and Canada sits down on America's bed. 

America smiles brightly "So I went outside for the first today" He said happily.

Canada puts his hand on his chest dramatically and gasp loudly "I thought we agreed that you would wait until we came so we can show around town" He yells.

Germany falls over, laughing very hard. America rolls his eyes "Well you guys took forever to get here so I took it on myself to go" He says in his defense. 

Canada grumbles "but still how could you?"

America chuckles, shaking his head.
