Chapter 10

Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye - 


it could be for the last time and it's not right. 


"Don't let yourself get in over your head," he said. 


Alone and far from home we'll find you...


Dead - Like a candle you burned out; 


spill the wax over the spaces left in place of angry words.


Scream - To be heard, like you needed any more attention; 


throw the bottle, break the door, and disappear.


Sing me to sleep, I'll see you in my dreams, 


waiting to say, "I miss you. I'm so sorry."


Forever's never seemed so long as when you're not around 


it's like a piece of me is missing. 


I could have learned so much from you but what's left now?


Don't you realize you shot this family a world of pain? 


Can't you see there should have been a happy ending we let go?


Sing me to sleep, I'll see you in my dreams, 


waiting to say, "I miss you. I'm so sorry."


Sing me to sleep.


Sing me to sleep.


Sing me to sleep.


Sing me to...


Sing me to sleep (You've taken so much with you...) 


I'll see you in my dreams, (But left the worst with me...), 


waiting to say, "I miss you. I'm so sorry."


I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Italy must have stood there crying for half an hour. He knew that Germany would never be able to kill the thing, nor would Italy ever ask him too. He would kill it himself. As the walked down the halls he knew to save the others he would have to seperate himself from Germany, kill the thing, then get everyone else out of the house. He wondered if he could do this... It didnt matter he let Germany walk into the room before he did and then loked the door from the outside.


Germany turned around realizing what happened "Italy!? What are you doing!?"


"im sorry" Italy cried "but I cant let you get hurt again.." Italy turned and walked down the hall. he knew Germany would be mad at him for a while after this but it didn't matter he'd rather have Germany mad then dead. 


"at least tell me then" gemany said sitting against his side of the door.


"Okay" Italy agreed and sat down on the opposite side. If you were to remove the door they would have been sitting back to back as Italy explaied the previous time loops to Germany as tears ran down his face. "and I cant let anyone else get hurt"


"Italy! This is rediculous! Let me help you!" Germany yelled now slamming into the door trying to ram it down.


Italy got up "Everyone has to get out. Even if it means I have to die" Itlay smiled even though Germany couldent see him.


"ITALY! DONT BE STUPID!" Germany realizing the door wasnt comming down had now resulted to randomly pounding it with his fists. He was crying now, he couldent remember the last time he cried. But now it seemed as just the thought of Italy no longer apearing randomly in his bed everymoring, or making a mess of his kitchen, or taking naps while he was trying to train him, just the thought of all that being gone.. It didnt seem like it could even happen. But he knew that if he let Italy go there would be none of that. He didnt think he could live without it though.


Italys foot steps fadded off down the hall and Germany half hartedly pounded at the door "Italy please" he cried "please just come back, I cant lose you..." he got up walking to the other side of the room then running across and slamming his shoulder into the door. There was a snap and he fell to the ground screaming in pain he got back up walking back to the end and slamming himself into the door  again. Each time he did this there was another loud snap and he screamed in pain. He continued until he lay on the floor unable to move his arm tears pouring down his face, not because of the pain. But because he couldent even save Italy.

Prussia and France heard the banging and at first they asumed it was America. Then they heard the scream.


"That was.." France looked at Prussia, but by the time he finished the sentence Prussia was already up the stairs.


"GERMANY!?" He screamed and France ran after him. Prussia tried to pull the door open but finding it was locked he kicked off the knob and then kicked down the door.


"you got it open!" Germany yelled he got up moving to run past Prussia, Who got in his way.


 "Whats going on?" Prussia looked at his brother woriedly. He could see the tear stains on Germanys cheeks, sure he had seen Germany cry before, Germany used to be a big crybaby. But that had been years ago.


"I dont have time for this! I have to find Italy!"


"wait" a worried look took over Frances face "Whats wrong with Ita!?"


The scream raing through the house. Italys scream, all the countries heard it and instantly ran to the center hall where it had come from. Germany was the first to get there gently lifting Italy into his lap. Romano followed soon after, then Japan, Then the others.


"Italy?" Germany said softly tears forming in his eyes again.


"H-Hey" Italy whipered shakily "d-dont cry its not like you" He smiled weakly up at Germany blood dripping out his mouth as he spoke and blood gushing out his chest where three deep claw marks where the thing had attacked him. 


"How can you tell me not to cry at a time like this!?" Germany yelled "Of course Im going to cry! I love you!"


Italy smiled softly "I-I love you too" then his eyes closed and his head tilted to the side the rest of his body going limp and falling from Germanys arms.
