I flinched at his harsh voice, tears forming in my eyes. "For the world, you will be my wife, but in reality, you are nothing to me." My last hope of mending this relationship shattered into pieces. "Listen very carefully: never dare to raise your voice at me. Understood?" I nodded slowly. "And only answer me if I ask you something. Is that clear?" His tone was dangerously low. Feeling scared, I nodded without looking at him. "Look at me when I'm talking to you." He put his finger under my chin and raised my head. His eyes were full of arrogance and cruelty. My vision blurred with each passing second. His grip on my chin was strong and painful. "Now answer," he ordered in a husky voice. "Ye-Yes," I replied in my shaky voice. ☆_____☆ A girl who believes in true love and soulmates. A boy who has lost his faith in love and soulmates. He is fire. She is ice.

Where Thou Art, That Is Home (Hetalia Fanfic)
Book Two of the "Home" series. "Don't be scared, Tael. Things might look bad but they will get better. They always do." "But how can you know for sure?" "Because I just do." Some of you might remember Alice Carlea Jones, sometimes known as Melina Andrews. Well, she got married. She has three children now, too. And someone, or something, is trying to kill her. They want to tear her life apart as well as her family. Everything that is happening is connected in a strange and disconcerting way. Perhaps not even her uncle's vast knowledge of magical phenomena can save her. She has to find out who or what it is that wants to kill her, and for what reason. And, eventually, find her way back home again. Preferably all in one piece, but there aren't any guarantees anymore. "There is work to be done, Alice. You're needed elsewhere." CanadaxOC, EnglandxOC, AmericaxOC, ScotlandxOC, RussiaxOC, PrussiaxOC, and possibly a few other various OCxOC pairings I'll throw in later on. Things are a little iffy in the planning, but then again they always are. Hetalia AU(s) Rated PG-13 for swearing, some suggestive themes, a character death, and too much awesomeness for your own good. BAH, read at your own risk. Feels will be crushed, revived, and crushed again in a never-ending cycle. Sorry, that's just how I work. And you'll enjoy yourself, I promise. Hetalia is owned by Hidekaz Himaruya, I own nothing I reference/use! All I possess are the OCs, the plot, and the work it takes to create this story.Complete
