DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS FOR ROMEO AND JULIET MOVIE!

Your face flushed and a red hue covered your cheeks as you pressed one hand in front of your mouth trying to suppress words of surprise and embarrassment. We're you hallucinating? Did that really happen?

Your stomach was going crazy, giving you a warm and fluttery feeling.

You looked at the object Canada had pressed into your hand, the other leaving your mouth to better examine it. The cold metal was slightly looking out of the wooden holster so you decided to pull on it. To your surprise, a blade, about the size of your middle finger sprung out of it.

Carefully shoving the blade back into its place you put it in your pocket to not accidentally hurt yourself. You glanced at the closed front door, wishing Canada would just come right back through and take you to his cabin, which was hopefully still standing and not burned down because of America.

Letting out a shaky breath you turned around when suddenly you shrieked at the sight of Japan standing there, mouth hung wide open as it turned into a happy-looking expression. She suddenly squealed running over to you with an expression you could only distinguish as one of pure happiness.

"(Y/N)~! What was that, it looked adorable! Are you two best friends? What did he give you, what did he give you?" She asked excitedly, jumping on her tippy toes. Her dark eyes seemed to shimmer as she waited for an answer. You stuttered a little, unsure of what to say in your oblivious state.
"W-well it was a little... You k-know parting gift?"
"Aww so nice of him!You know the first time he attended a world meeting he gave out brownies for everyone! It was so nice of him but he never did it again..." She pouted a little, looking like she had really enjoyed them. A tad bit confused you looked at her, wondering how she was so open with you even though you were basically a stranger. Suddenly she straightened her posture and unexpectedly took one of your hands.
"I know what we're gonna do now! Let me show you around!" She turned to the left of the staircase, pulling you with her without letting you answer.

You entered the said room and...wow. It looked so... modern... You thought. The dark counters in the bright room stood out to you.
"This is the kitchen!" A chandelier hung over the middle counter. You sucked in your breath wanting to answer but before you could she had already started pulling you to the right.

"And here's the living room" There before you was a big room, a couch with a glass table in front of it and a huge TV on the wall. You looked around it with a shocked expression when your eyes landed on two doors that you assumed were right under the staircase.
"And that room?" Japan looked at it before shrugging
"Cleaning supplies, Germany is a real clean freak you know" She chuckled.
You nodded. Looking left you were greeted with a big glass panel looking out to the pretty garden you had seen from your room earlier.

"Oh, and let me show y-" Japan was interrupted and you both jumped a little when a throaty voice came from behind you.
"Japan let the poor girl rest a little," somebody said with knitted eyebrows.

Behind you stood Germany with a rather tired expression that seemed to lighten a bit as he saw his guest.
"Ah Hallo you must be (Y/N) right? I'm sorry I couldn't speak with you after the meeting, I still had a couple of...things to do." He smiled and you politely smiled back.
"No worries it's fine, I understand. So you will help me get back right?"
"That's correct. I have already prepared some things so we can get started today. But we won't be doing much testing today" What a relief. You still didn't know what kind of testing they'd perform on you but you just shrugged it off.
"Japan if you wish you can stay in one of the guest bedrooms while we're doing testing as you'll be helping as well."

Japan quickly agreed and soon you found yourself in an elevator, which was located to the right of the main entrance. It was going down toward what you assumed was the basement, and even though it was just an elevator you were amazed at how expensive it looked from the inside.

When it stopped the doors opened revealing a laboratory behind glass panels to the left and heavy machinery and metal to the right. Germany kept walking down the hallway separating the two rooms containing the different equipment and opened a glass door leading into the Laboratory, motioning for you to sit down in a chair which you did right away.

You noticed little glass containers with glossy and sometimes reddish liquids that stood on a counter not too far away. The light in the room was almost blinding and you had to squint a few times before getting used to it, but Germany didn't react to it at all, in fact, he seemed like he was exposed to unnatural light very often.

Japan sat down in a chair next to you and by now Germany had also returned.
"We're just going to run a blood test and examine it first, ok?" You nodded and rolled up your sleeve. Germany disinfected your arm and you squeezed your eyes shut as he held a syringe up to it, ready to penetrate the skin any second. But he stopped as he saw how you had clenched your hand into a fist, nervous about the situation.
"(Y/N) you need to relax for this or I won't be able to get any blood.." he murmured and you nodded opening your hand. Your instinct told you to close it but you managed to push the disgusting feeling aside as Germany finally drew your blood with the syringe.
"Alright that's done, I'll be examining it and we'll continue with the tests tomorrow"

Surprised you looked at Germany and then at Japan, wondering if that was really all.
"Wait that's all?" You finally said with clear confusion in your voice, surely you had expected there would be more testing than just a blood draw today.

Germany laughed and Japan giggled at your confusion.
"Yes that's gonna be all for today, I need to examine your blood first or we won't be able to start the real testing anyways" You hadn't expected this to go so quickly and honestly you were already mentally prepared for a few hours of testing, but then again you were glad that wasn't the case.

Germany gave you a band-aid and Japan escorted you back the way you all came, but this time without Germany as he would be examining your blood.

You weren't entirely sure what he needed it for but it didn't really concern you that much and you brushed the thought aside.

Not even seconds after you stepped out of the elevator Japan dragged you over to the couch in the living room, perplexed you tried to question her but she had already made her way out of the living room. She surely wasn't mad at you so why did she do that? It reminded you of how Canada and you would often sit on the couch together and drink hot chocolate he prepared and every time you asked him for the recipe he would say it was a 'family secret'.

A little while later and you still heard Japan in the kitchen, seemingly preparing something. Your stomach grumbled a bit and you hoped that whatever Japan was making would be for the both of you.

The minutes passed and you were growing bored, so as any other person would do you reached for the TV remote and quietly turned it on while secretly hoping Germany wouldn't mind.

After fiddling with the remote for a few minutes you decided on a Romance Movie, and as you focused more and more on it you hardly noticed the sweet smell coming from the kitchen. If you weren't so fixated on the screen you would have surely noticed it.

You yelped when Japan plopped down next to you, which in return gave her quite the scare as she tightly held a bowl to her chest in an attempt to keep all the content inside.

The heavenly smell returned and all your senses were quickly overwashed by it, seemingly longing to taste what she had brought with her.

Both you and Japan quickly relaxed and she offered you the sweets inside the bowl, holding it out to you.

Popcorn with...Chocolate? Chocolate!

You stared at Japan before picking up a couple of pieces of the sweet delicacy and putting them on your tastebuds, taking in the sweet aroma.

"Wow, Japan this is really good!" You commented to which she smiled brightly, admiring the fact that you liked her food.
"I'm glad you like it!," she seemed to get distracted by the voices coming from the TV.
"Oh, what are you watching?"
"Romeo and Juliet I believe" She nodded and turned to face the Television.

You both continued eating while making sure not to dirty the couch in any way as you didn't want to ruin the beautiful cushions. Japan seemed to enjoy the Movie just as much as you did so you both sat there on the couch for at least a couple of hours, still watching the same movie.

You hadn't realized how quickly the time went by and as pearly tears quietly rolled down your and japan's cheeks the Movie was still projecting on the big flat TV screen in front of you both.

"Romeo? What's here?"

She pleaded for him to answer before ultimately answering herself.

"...Poison?"

The first quiet sob left your lips and the girl next to you couldn't contain her voice anymore either. You tried to stop your tears from falling and your voice from breaking through the barrier your hand created over your mouth but you just couldn't.

Japan's head rested on your shoulder as you both cried. You had to admit to yourself it was a bit embarrassing to cry over a movie, but this one was really sad so you accepted it.

The fascination and envy you both felt were overwhelming and you had to nudge Japan and ask her for a tissue as the tears wouldn't stop falling down your watery eyes.

You closed your eyes only to abruptly be hugged as a scream echoed in the room. Japan clung to you like a Koala and at first, you didn't understand why but as you saw the outline of Germany in the Doorway, smirking and chuckling to himself you understood. The sadness the movie had given you has washed away and been replaced by sheer embarrassment. You locked eyes with Germany and you'll never forget the smug look on his face.

He continued laughing for a while.
"I'm sorry I didn't want to scare you," he chuckled.

Japan furrowed her eyebrows and scolded Germany for scaring her.

"Alright alright, I'm sorry, ok? I came here to tell you both that it's time for dinner"

Already?!

You thought, absolutely flabbergasted by the fact that Japan and you were so focused on the movie that neither of you bothered to check the time.

Germany read the look on Japan and yours faces like a book.
"What would our guest like for dinner?" He asked.

You thought for a moment, thinking about all the possible dishes you could eat today before ultimately shrugging your shoulders.
"I'm fine with anything" you replied. Japan suggested having a common dish, from her home country, that you couldn't even dream of pronouncing the name right to which Germany suggested some of his traditional dishes.

They continued to bicker about their food choices until you finally decided to step in, suggesting that maybe you could have take out.

Japan's eyes brightened at your idea and she quickly agreed, even Germany had to admit that Take out seemed like a good option.

The ringing of the doorbell disturbed Japan and your chit-chatting and as excited as you were about the food you quickly sprung up from the couch and wobbled to the door, quickly opening it and seeing your delivery driver standing outside.

Oddly enough he had his hat, which had the logo of the fast food place printed on it, pulled into his face so much that you couldn't make out any features.

Poor guy must have gotten intimidated by the sheer size of this place! You chuckled. He awkwardly handed you a plastic bag containing your food while quickly muttering a quiet  'Enjoy your Meal...'. He then scrambled away and disappeared down the path leading back to the road before you were even able to say 'thank you'.

Germany had already paid through the app anyways so you weren't bothered by it.

As you set the food on the kitchen table Germany and Japan emerged from the living room, seemingly as excited as you were.

Japan had ordered Tempura while Germany had decided on some good ol' Schnitzel.

Apparently, both dishes were quite common in either Country.

You had decided on some Pasta Bolognese and you all dug into your food as soon as you said your 'Bon Appetites'. You were quite hungry so it didn't surprise you when you found yourself eating the food a lot faster than usual, but the Noodles were really good after all.

You noticed that the Tomatoes in the Tomato Sauce seemed slightly overcooked as it left a slight Metallic taste to it, though you didn't let it bother you as much since in combination with the noodles it still tasted awesome. Plus you had eaten worse.

After dinner you had decided on already going into your room to sleep early, the day had drained you more than expected and you were feeling very tired. You had excused yourself from Germany and Japan and they quickly told you to be up the next morning at nine so you could start experimenting as early as possible.

While in your room the drowsiness was becoming unbearable so you made sure to get your nightly routine done as quickly as possible.

After you were done in the bathroom you changed out of your clothes and put on something more comfortable to sleep in. A pair of baggy sweatpants and a black hoodie you got from Canada did the job and soon after you were almost completely knocked out. You were laying with your head facing the big glass window and you could see the very last rays of sunlight disappearing behind the horizon, leaving everything to be illuminated by the moon's beautiful light.

The scenery in front of you became a blur with each second passing and eventually, you closed your eyes, drifting off into a world full of dreams yet to be discovered.

Little did you know that everywhere Dreams are, Nightmares lurk not too far away.

"Na Liebling, die Schlaftabletten haben wohl besser funktioniert als erwartet."

A sharp pain shot through your nervous system as someone abruptly yanked your head back while latching onto your hair. The unexpected move woke you up and you tried to scream from the pain only to find something had covered your mouth to prevent you from doing so. Panic rose inside of you and you clawed at the stranger in an attempt to get free from them, only to realize that almost all strength seemed to have been taken from you.

Silent tears welled up in your eyes and as you tried to figure out who was behind all this a horrifying scene was delivered to your eyes.

A black figure stood behind you, and thus you couldn't see it very well in the darkness of night, you could clearly sense the bloodlust radiating from them.

The dark and hollow chuckles that occasionally left their lips and how they silently dragged you to the now open window where a slight breeze was flowing in.

You couldn't just let this person take you, you had to do something! You just had to!

But as you got closer and closer to the open window everything seemed hopeless. You couldn't reach far behind you and therefore were unable to harm the person behind you.

Oh, how you wished Canada were there. He would have protected you for sure. Why did you have to leave him in the first place!?

Oh, Canada...

Tears were flowing down your cheeks and you wished they would burn like acid as they landed on the stranger's hand.

If they were to really kidnap you right now, right here, you will at least leave a trace of them behind, you'll make sure of that!

The familiar feeling of something in the little pocket of your hoodie made you silently thank your lucky stars and Canada. You were shaking, weak, and in no state to put up much of a fight. But you had something to your advantage. Something that the other person didn't have.

A knife.

Your kidnapper couldn't even react to how quickly you had pulled it out of your pocket and flipped out the blade.

Despite your body trying to refuse to do anything, your adrenaline was telling you to go go go!

You quickly slashed at the person, making them yell out in pain as their arm began stinging and feeling hot, before quickly shutting themselves up to not alert anyone sleeping in the mansion. They heavily grunted in anger upon seeing the switchblade in your shaking fingers.

The blade shimmered with a red substance and as you were ready to slash again the person quickly readjusted their grip on you and with a loud banging sound smashed your head against the wall next to the window, making you drop your knife as your body weakened uncontrollably.

You could only think about one thing before you ultimately went unconscious.

Canada...
