You lived almost as normally as everyone did. You had parents and siblings. Unfortunately, your parents had died long ago when you were six because of an accident. Now, you were living together with you brothers, Lovino and Feliciano. When you turned 15 while your brothers 20, you just knew that both of your brothers were the personification of a country. Italy in this case. And that they carried another name, South Italy/Italy Romano and North Italy/Italy Veneziano. Nevertheless, you still called them by their real name. Sure it felt like magic and strange that a country had a personification that was human-like. But whatsoever with that, Lovino and Feliciano still loved you like they always did.

You were walking home from your part time job with a friend. You parted ways with her and you walked to your house. When you arrived, you said, "I'm home." aloud. You closed the front door and you could smell something yummy. You didn't have to guess what it was. You just had to guess who did it. 'Hmm... yesterday was Feli so maybe today is Lovi... but Feli also did the day before yesterday... Nah, I take Lovino.'

You walked to the kitchen and popped your head and saw who it was. There a man stood, cooking something so his back were at you. Both your brothers were kind of look a like, most people mistook them as twins but they were not. From behind, they also looked alike. Just one thing differed from each of them, the curl. Feliciano had curl on his left while Lovino on his right. You chuckled softly from the thought. Once, you wondered yourself why didn't you have a curl and had once thought that you were adopted or something. But those big brothers you had were so kind to you and encouraged you to erase that thoughts away.

Now back to your current situation, you scanned the man. Oh, he had curl on his right! It was hanging there like there was no gravity to pull it down. You giggled and tiptoed behind him. Once you were right behind him you hugged his waist from behind and, "Got ya!!"

He growled and looked over his shoulder, "Wagh! (name) how many time do I have to tell you, Don't fucking do that!"

"As many as you want, fratello. I'm just excited!" you replied, releasing the hug.

"I'm cooking right now, it's freaking dangerous!"

"Alright, alright. Sorry. Oh, where's big bro Feli?"

"He's upstairs. Tell him food's going to be ready in a few minutes. There, go!"

You went upstairs and in the middle of the corridor, you heard soft melody. You followed where it was from and found that it was coming from Feliciano's room, his door opened slightly. He was singing a soft song, you always loved his voice. When you were little and your parents had died, it was either Feli or Lovi who sang lullaby to you. You stopped in front of his room and leaned on the wall, enjoying the song. You didn't want to interrupt him. After a nice three minutes passed, the song's ended and you went back to your real motive. You knocked the door softly, making sure he wasn't surprised, "Fratello Feli..."

He turned his head to face you, "Oh, (name) you're home!" He stood and approached you. "When did you come home, bella?" He patted your head. "Just a while ago. Lovino said the food's going to be ready."

"Oh, sì! I'll be there."

You went outside his room to your room. You put your bags on the corner of the room and took a bath. Even though you just worked as a waitress, it worked you out for the restaurant you worked was popular and many people came there. After you bath, Lovino called you from downstairs and you replied in loud voice, "Sì! Attendere un minuto!" You wore your clothes and went downstairs to the kitchen. You saw Feliciano was setting the table while Lovino brought a plate of pasta and a plate of lasagna on his hands. He put them on the table and sat, followed by Feliciano then you. Then you ate your most delicious pasta and lasagna ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+++++++++++++++++++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After eating you cleaned up while your brothers sat on the couch, watching TV. When you finished, you joined them. Everything was so perfect, so relaxing and comfortable until Lovino began the conversation.

"Oi, (name) we have something to tell you," he said.

"Hm? What?"

"We have World Meeting tomorrow, bella~ And we have to go early in the morning~" Feli added.

"Early? Where is it held?" you asked.

"It's in that airhead hero loving bastard's home. What a pain..." Lovino grunted, but he was always like that, you knew it.

"So, bella, it will be like previous meetings. Maybe we'll go for a week or so," Feli said.

"Oh... okay then..." you said, forcing a smile. "Then I suggest you to sleep early too, fratello. I don't want you to overslept like before~" You teased.

"You don't have to tell me that, dammit! I know it!" Lovino stood and went to his room, followed by Feliciano who was 'Vee~'ing along the way. You turned off the TV and the lights, then you went to your room. As soon as you closed the door behind you, fresh tears flowed down your cheeks. You wiped them but they still flowed. You slowly approached you bed and sat on it, leaning to the wall. You hugged your pillow and tears poured down easily from your eyes, to your cheeks, to your pillow. It always happened. It always happened whenever two of them had to go for the meeting. Leaving you alone at home, alone, for days.

You didn't know what made you cry but something in your heart told you, you were afraid to be left. Not that you were scared to be alone at home, it's just that... it reminded you of your parents who died years ago. When they died, you cried for days. Good thing your brothers comforted you. But now, they were also going. You knew you would see them again. You knew it. But still you didn't want to be left again. You held your sobs in attempt to not waking up your brothers and not letting them know you were crying.

Slowly, you brought yourself to lie on the bed and you drifted to sleep...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+++++++++++++++++++++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the next morning, you woke up. Your eyes were bawling up because you cried so much yesterday. Today was not weekend or holiday, you had your shift in the restaurant today. Fortunately, your shift was at noon so you didn't have to worry about your eyes.

You walked slowly downstairs, to the kitchen. It was awfully silent without your brothers. You usually got up earlier than they did, but soon after you got to the kitchen, Feliciano or Lovino would wake up and helped you to make breakfast. Although you had gone through this several times, you were not getting used to it at all. Tears came out from your eyes again, threatening to fall, but you wiped them and continued what you did. Please come home fast...

You passed the day like normal. When you met your friends at work, somehow they eased you. But when you arrived home, the feelings started to dominate again. You shook your head and began to think positively. You took a bath, ate dinner, watched TV for awhile and went to sleep... everything's going smooth.

-little time skip-

It was the third day already. Time went fast, really. You passed the day like usual and now you were about to sleep, when you heard rustling from downstairs. Your eyes wide opened and your heart started to beat quickly. 'What's that?' you thought. Your heart was beating faster and louder than usual. You slowly and quietly went down, holding a baseball bat you had. The lights were on! 'Shit!! Burglars!! You tiptoed. There were two men, messing around with your kitchen now. You quietly saw them, they didn't realize you were there. However, you also didn't notice someone behind you. The man behind you closed you mouth with his hand. You struggled as hard as you could. The other men heard your grumbles and stopped what they were doing.

You noticed that and you stomped on his foot. Hard. He released you and you swung the bat to his head, also hard, enough to make him dizzy. You then dared yourself to face other men. You hit the first but you missed the second. That's the mistake. The second punched you right on your stomach, making you cried in pain. Your grip loosened and you now held the stomach tightly. Not enough with that, the third man behind you grabbed your hair and hit the back of your neck. In just seconds you fell unconscious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+++++++++++++++++++++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You woke up in a condition you never wanted. You were tied on a chair. Your mouth was shut with tape and you could not move a muscle. Your hands were tied behind the chair. You tried to freed them but failed. You looked around. You were in a room or like a warehouse... there were many things there. It was dark, but if you judged the sky you saw from a small window, it was morning or midday.

Suddenly, the door was opened, revealing three men at once. They approached you. You looked at them with scared face, which amused them. "Look, boss, she's scared, I guess..." one man chuckled. The man, who was said to be the boss, made you looked at him, "Heh, you're quiet pretty, huh?" You felt tears were going to fall down, but you held it. "Don't worry, we won't kill you," other man said, "We can't have what we want if we killed you..."

You tried to speak, even though you know your mouth's closed, "Mmm, mmm mmh mm?!"

"Hm? say something, dear?" man 1 asked you.

"Hey, let's hear what she wants to say. I want to hear her voice," the boss said.

"Aye, boss," he replied and undid the tape.

"W-what do you want from me?!" you asked. You raised your voice.

"Woo... scary, scary. We don't want anything from you We want something from your related family."

Your eyes widened, "Do you mean from--"

"From the country itself, I suppose," man 2 stated. "We know that the men in your house were countries, or so we were told."

"Yeah, a country must be rich! They'll cost us a fortune just for you~" man 1 said.

"Now, (man 2's name) send the letter to them. They will get it no matter what," the boss said, laughing evilly.

"Aye, boss," and man 2 went outside to post the letter.

Then man 1 closed your mouth again and they left you. You looked down at the floor. You felt really guilty for being careless. Now your brothers were the ones who made it up for you. It was your fault... what if something happened to them? What if something happened to the country? It would all began from you. Hot tears fell down to the floor. There's nothing you could do. You had to wait.

- little time skip -

"Hey boss, don't you want to do something to that girl?" man 1 asked.

"Like what?"

"Mehh, do you know that a country is immortal? She might be one too."

"He's right, boss. She is related to countries after all. Maybe she is a country too."

"Hell... you're right. Maybe we could have some fun with her. It'd be boring to wait for the money without doing anything."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~++++++++++++++++++++++++++++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- in the world meeting -

The room was full with noise. Laughs, grunts, screams, everything was happening at the same time. It included the two Italians. Feliciano was chit chatting with his Axis friend while Lovino was in a debate with his former boss, Spain.

Someone knocked the door and opened it, "Excuse me, a letter for Mr. Italy."

When the door creaked opened, everyone stopped what they were doing. And hearing that their name were called, the two Italians went to get the letter. "A letter? Who fucking did this?" Lovino growled. "Fratello, just open it. It might be from (name)~" Feliciano sang. While Lovino was opening the letter, other countries surrounded them, eager to know what was inside the letter. Lovino opened it and read the letter, Feliciano joined too. As soon as he finished reading the letter, he tore the letter to small pieces and threw it away. The air became tense as Lovino's face became serious and full of anger. Feliciano was really worried about (name) that he began to babble in Italian.

"Roma, what's wrong?" Spain called.

Lovino didn't respond. He cursed in Italian. A long curse that made the other gulped. "Those bastardos... A pagare per questo..." then he stormed out from the room. Everyone stayed silent until, "Hey, Italy. What's going on?" Germany asked.

"Ve, (name) is in danger! I have to save her!" with that he ran from the room, following his brother.

- time skip and back to you -

Two days here were like hell for you. On the second day since your arrival there, they began to 'play' with you. They held knives and cut you here and there, to see if a country would not die just because of small scars. Unknown to them that you were NOT a country like your brothers. You were normal human that was mortal. One wrong move and you would be together with your parents. They took turn in playing with you. One man would stand guard in the front while two men would 'play' with you. You could not tell them that you were not a country for your mouth shut. You moaned in pain everytime they cut your skin. And everytime they did, tears would always flow down from your eyes.

Your whole body felt hurt. Sweat made your wounds worse. You really wanted to get out from this place.

"Hmm..."

"What is it?"

"No, it's just... how about we do it more... fatally?"

The boss brought his knife to your neck, "How about we do this here? We'll see if a country is immortal or not."

You shook your head. They were going to kill you. "Oh, dearie, don't be scared~" He pushed his knife to your throat. Just enough to make fresh blood flowed from the small wound. He smirked. He was enjoying this. You on the other hand was completely not enjoying this and absolutely scared. You shut your eyes tightly, getting ready to go to a place higher than the sky.

Suddenly, a gun shot was heard from outside. Both men, especially the boss, set his knife down and looked at the door. "Oi, (man 2's name)! What happen?!" but no respond. The door was broken apart, revealing two men. When you saw them you screamed. They were Lovino and Feliciano.

Lovino and Feliciano quickly saw you and your condition surprised them. You had wounds here and there on your body. Blood was flowing through them, fresh or already frozen. That was the last of the villains.

"Non mettere il dito su di lei, è fottuto bastardo..." Lovino cursed.

However, the threat didn't get them to give up. Man 1 grabbed your hair and made you hostage by sliding his knife on your neck, "Give us the money, and she'll be safe."

Something clicked in Lovino's mind, "She'll be safe...? Which 'She'll be safe'? You asshole bastards!!"

Feliciano raised his hand and man 1 was instantly dead from gun shot. You looked behind them, there was a troop of mafia men. Oh, you almost forgot that your brothers, besides being a country, were leaders of mafia in Italy. The boss beside you froze, and was trying to escape but another shot killed him in an instant.

Lovino approached you and untied you, using a small knife he had. Feliciano ordered the mafia to kill the rest of the group they saw. After that, Feliciano approached you too. When you were finally free, you hugged Lovino tightly. You cried, releasing all your dreads. Lovino patted you and so did Feliciano. You became tired of what happened and crying so much. You fell asleep on Lovino's hug. Your head on his shoulder, breathing slowly and peacefully. Lovino sighed. "Let's go home." Feli said. Lovino agreed and they went home.

Arriving home, they laid you on the bed and began to treat your wounds carefully. When they were bandaging them, you was awoke, "Fratello..."

"(name), it's okay. You must rest now," Lovino said.

"Okay, it's done~ Vee~~" Feli took the kit and put it somewhere and went back to you. "Bella, let's sleep together tonight." Feli said. He crawled to your side and lied down beside you.

"Well, looks like you have brains, stupid fratello," Lovino said as he crawled to your other side and lied there too.

Feli patted you head as he sang the lullaby he used to sing to you. Lovino joined him singing your favorite lullaby. Their voices were so smooth... so comfortable for you. Your eyes became heavy and you could not stand it again. Just before you closed your eyes and went to dreamland, you whispered, "Grazie, fratello... Grazie per aver salvato me..." in a few minutes you slept peacefully.

The brothers kept singing until the end of the song then they realized that you had fallen asleep. Lovino smiled a bit, something he rarely did, "We'll keep you safe, ragazza... don't worry."

Feli heard that and smiled too. Before they went to sleep they held your hands.

"Nice dream, bella sorella..."

"Well, looks like you have brains, stupid fratello," Lovino said as he crawled to your other side and lied there too.

Feli patted you head as he sang the lullaby he used to sing to you. Lovino joined him singing your favorite lullaby. Their voices were so smooth... so comfortable for you. Your eyes became heavy and you could not stand it again. Just before you closed your eyes and went to dreamland, you whispered, "Grazie, fratello... Grazie per aver salvato me..." in a few minutes you slept peacefully.

The brothers kept singing until the end of the song then they realized that you had fallen asleep. Lovino smiled a bit, something he rarely did, "We'll keep you safe, ragazza... don't worry."

Feli heard that and smiled too. Before they went to sleep they held your hands.

"Nice dream, bella sorella..."
