~Labyrinth 5~

*Romania X Reader*

‘Just like a spy through smoke and lights
I made my escape through the back door of the world…’

‘Once upon a time…’ a feminine voice started.Her tone was soothing as she caressed a strawberry blonde headed boy.
‘No mommy!All fairytales start so.’ The young boy pouted causing the older female to laugh.
‘But Daci,this is how is supposed to be!’ she tried to explain as she swayed him back and forth.
‘When will daddy come home?’ he half asleep asked,letting his eyes shut,heavy with sleep.
‘I don`t know!’ the (curly/straight) (h/c) headed answered as a single tear escaped her (gem) (e/c) orbs.
‘Take my hand…!’ a pale white hand made its way from the blinding lights.

~Author~

“God…no!” the Brit whispered,audible though,falling to his knees.
“London…” the Romanian began,but changed his mind quickly.
“(Name)…” the ghostly hand of Vlad gently touched (Name)`s cold face.
“If only we could have come sooner…” Lukas emotionlessly ended.
In front of the three pairs of eyes,the emerald green ones,the ruby red ones and the navy blue ones,the inert body of the British girl could be seen.
Arthur wished that all of that was a sick joke and Lukas thought of it as a bad dream.But as he pinched his velvet skin he realized he wasn`t dreaming.That indeed (Name) was lying there,breathless and they couldn`t do anything about it.On the other side Vlad…well,he was emotionally down.He haven`t even felt the tears pricking up in his eyes until he saw those drops falling on the girl`s arm.
“It`s raining…!” he softly said,his vision becoming blurry once again.
“But veee~,it isn`t raining!” the chibi nation retorted,pointing with his eyes to the crystal blue sky.
“It`s raining…ok?” Vlad continued as he let his face in the girl`s chest.
A river of muffled sobs soon came as the Romanian pressed his face deeper,searching for any little sign of pulse.The once full of life girl was now lying there,covered by a great amount of flowers.
Of course,he imagined thousand times how he would cover her with every single flower existent in the wide world,but not like this.He imagined her picking up flowers in a little basket which hanged around her tiny arm and how he would have kissed her for every flower she had found.
And now,here he was,crying her death,not feeling anymore the blood flowing through her veins,warming her whole system up,making her heart flutter in her chest.
“If I wouldn`t have put that certain ingredient in the pot,none of this have happened!” the male blamed himself,staining the cream coloured dress of the Brit girl.
“What am I supposed to do now…?” the Romanian softly asked himself as his arms fell dead near his body.
“Do you really want her back that much?” a tiny voice came from above.
“Of course we do!” Arthur snapped at her.
The creature seemed to be a fairy.Or at least so it seemed.She had short blonde hair and forest green eyes.Her complexion was fair white,as little rainbow wings started to flutter behind her back.
“Then you should go back to your kingdoms and collect the four feathers!” the whispered,but still audible voice came.
“And what that feathers have to do with bringing (Name) back?” Lukas simply asked the creature.
“If you get the four feathers in the same place,a wish shall be granted!” she answered,fluttering a little her wings.
“Then what are we waiting for?” England impatiently started to tap his foot,ready to storm back to his kingdom.
“Wait,you idiot!” the Norwegian snapped towards Arthur.
“There is a price,isn`t it?” he coolly asked the fairy-like female.
“Indeed!You might lose your lives while trying to get the feathers.They are kept away from humans by the most feared beasts.” She answered,horror spread across her tiny face.
“You should hurry up though!The human body can`t resist more than three days without its matching soul.I`ll try though to keep her more untouched by time!” the fairy female stated,as she fluttered her wings once more,but this time on the girl,where an almost invisible powder laid now.
“What`s your name,miss?” Arthur respectfully asked.
“You can call me Lily!” she said as she beamed a smile at them.
“Thank you,Lily!” Vlad almost whispered towards the creature,hopping up on his white horse.

~Time skip~

“So…here we split!” Arthur stated,staring mostly at the ground.
Indeed in front of them,there was a three branched path.Each for a kingdom.There was a certain fourth path,frozen and nothing could be seen in horizon if you took that path.
“Hey,what`s that in your hair?” Lukas asked,as he picked up the flower from Vlad`s mess of hair.
“Oh…it`s a flower…an edelweiss!” the Romanian answered,amazement in his voice.
“But where from?” The Brit curiously addressed his question.
“From her heart!There is still hope!” Vlad said as he gingerly touched the flower and urged the horse to go the middle path.

~Reader-chan~

“Vee~,Lily sorella,what are those beasts?” the Northen Italian asked as he brushed the (h/c) locks of (Name)`s hair.
“I really don`t know Feliciano!I wish I did though!” the fairy let out a heaved sigh.
“It is said that they were human back in the past,but they commited a deadly sin and got caged into a monster`s form to pay for what they did.” Lily continued as the rainbow coloured dust started to twinkle.

~Romania~

Truth to be told,Vlad was afraid of what danger could have cut his road.But he needed that certain feather for (Name)`s sake.
Oh,(Name)…how his serious gaze started to melt into a lovingly one.He gently touched the edelweiss from his inner pocket,near his heart.
And what bothered him more than even the appearance and strenghth of the beast was why was that petite flower near his beloved (Name)`s heart.Was it because she loved him as he loved her?
His almost silent heart started to flutter inside his chest at the though of her loving him.
But he shook the thought.She couldn`t possibly love him,a poor country,she that was treated like a princess her whole life.She couldn`t love such a player as he,but he just couldn`t help it,damn it.And that was because of the Latin blood that flew through his veins.
And maybe that edelweiss was randomly put there,near her heart.Maybe the heather should have been there.
Something in the middle of the sea has caught the Romanian`s eye.There,like if the creature was riding the waves which helped it up at the surface,played with her long deep red hair,covering her chest.
When he got closer,he realised the creature was half human,half fish.A mermaid,as people simply called it.From down her waist she had a fin instead of legs.The tip of her fin slowly punched the water,making it flow like a barrier,surrounding her.The mermaid`s eyes were empty.She had no irises,they were simply a scarry white.
Vlad backed a little,but soon enough gathered his courage and was ready to fight the treacherous waters.
“You are a fool if you think I`ll give up my feather this easy!” she told him,as if she could have read his soul.
Her fin hit hard the water,causing the waves to get bigger and bigger.Salty water dropped on the Romanian`s hair,as some of it he engulf it,causing him to cough.It burned his throat,but he couldn`t actually give up.
The mermaid let a sigh in annoyance and calmed,the waves calming too.Then,when everything seemed to have been in order,the creature put one hand on her chest and started to sing.
‘Fools in the water,
My feather is kept away
You should surrender your feelings
And forget your lover`s pray.
I shall be your lover
And you shall be mine
Till the infinity of time.’
As the half female chanted,Vlad`s eyes started to get heavier and heavier until he gave in the feeling and soon enough he had hit the bottom of the ocean.
‘Si nici n`am apucat sa`ti spun ca te iubesc…!’ he monologued in his head while his lungs filled with salty water.

~England~

A cold shiver touched the Brit`s body.He hopped off his horse,touching the wooden part of his sword.
The forest`s air started to coolen down as if he was captured in a snow blizzard and hadn`t any chance to escape,surrounded by so many trees.
A flowing ghostly creature with no face made its way towards Arthur,passing through him.
The Brit backed up a little,hitting a tree with his back in the process.Though,he was quite shocked.Why did the creature didn`t affect him in any way?
As more pale creatures passed through his body,he felt a certain organ malfunction.The more they were passing,the less his heart beated.
And it got him to that point where he couldn`t feel his organ beat anymore in his chest,causing him to fall to the ground.
‘Damned dementors!’ was the last thought before he passed out.

~Norway~

As he silently made his way through the thick snow,the Norwegian tried to compose himself,as if nothing would have happened.
That`s when something bizarre,something that he thought didn`t belong there,appreared in his sight.
A fragile flower with blue petals,powdered with the snow-white flakes and held proudly by a pale green flower body.
Something inside his head yelled,preventing him to not smell the flower.But as if his minds were taken,he bent and smelt the sweet scent.
It smelt like Christmas eve,when he and his younger brother,assisted by the other three Nordics would cook ginger cookies covered in a certain frosting.It also smelt like her.
And so he fell into a deep slumber,as a thick layer of snow kept place of a cover.
‘Good night,Lukas!~’ the Freja flower sang in his ear.

‘And I saw things getting smaller…
Fear as well as temptation…’.

‘Mommy,when is daddy coming home?’ the boy in the female’s embrace asked.
‘I don`t know Dacian.Never maybe!’ the (h/c) haired answered his question.

‘And yet I`m here,waiting for your hand to catch mine and our fingers to interwind.I can`t feel your embrace.I`m cold.We might need to always come back when December ends!’.
