Brazil pov
Argentina wasn't the only reason I wanted to hurry back to the hotel, I had seen some eyes peering at us from a bush.  They were brown eyes and they seemed to be watching us very carefully, they even seemed to be pleased with what they were looking at, then my gaze met them.  A feeling of horror and oppression ran through my entire body, my muscles paralyzed and I was terrified as I continued to look at whoever was behind that bush.  The figure disappeared in seconds, backing up hastily until nothing was seen.  I couldn't believe it, I thought we were alone here, it could have been an ordinary person but when I felt that feeling of horror, as if everything around us had been wrapped in a black void, my blood was frozen.
As soon as I came to my senses I didn't think twice and urged the others to move, I didn't want to stay there for a second longer.

Greece pov
My chance has finally arrived, with the professors in the infirmary, I can finally take my revenge on Germany and Spain.
I wrote the whole plan to Italy and he reluctantly agreed, I know how much he loves Spain but he can't deny that the Spain of now is not what we have always known.  While everyone was going back to their rooms I made a sign to Italy and we both went to Germany without being noticed.  As soon as we were close to him, making sure that only Spain was following us suspiciously, I pushed Germany with all my strength.  He fell and immediately turned to look at us, initially scared that it might be someone big, but when he realized it was us, his expression became increasingly angry. "Since when are you so bold to turn against us?~".  Spain asked, scrounging his fingers in a threatening way as Germany got to his feet.  I looked at Italy who seemed to be determined to complete our plan. "You two don't scare us anymore, you are just two losers who can do nothing but insult to prevail over others".  Spain seemed very irritated by Italy's 'insolent' tone.
"ARE YOU UNDERESTIMATING ME ?! I SAID I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO KILL her... and I always keep my word~" he said pulling out a knife and pointing it at me.  I seemed to be so sure of my plan, but the sight of that knife reminded me of that day in the alley.  I began to retreat slowly, with a terrified expression on my face, maybe this plan was not a good idea.  Italy noticed this and stood in front of me to protect me looking Spain straight in the eye. "You won't twist a hair as long as I'm here".  I became all red at those words, I could never have imagined that someone would protect me at the cost of his life and I could not let it happen, especially if that someone was Italy.  Germany came up behind me and grabbed my wrists, holding me still so I wouldn't run away and couldn't defend myself. "NO, LET HER GO"  Italy screamed turning as Spain took him from behind and put the knife near his throat. "Now I'm tired of playing Italy~" he said whispering in his ear. "Germany, you take care of teaching Italy a lesson... while I  I take care of her~ ".  Germany pushed me to the ground as Spain left Italy so that Germany could take care of it.
"Poland where the fuck are you?"  I murmured between my teeth.  I told her to bring Portugal here, if she didn't arrive, the plan would go up in smoke and Italy could be seriously injured.  Spain came in front of me with the knife firmly held in one hand.
"Greece Greece ... why don't you finally step aside and let me take care of Italy~...  what could you offer him...".  I remained silent, I didn't know what to answer, I felt my stomach turn with fear and I was also having a slight feeling of nausea.  Meanwhile, Italy and Germany were fighting, but the first managed to get out of the grip of the second and running towards me, he stands in front of me again. "Italy, back off ... you know that I am the right person for you ...  come on ... just wait till I put her out of the way and you will understand  that I am the right choice~ ".  Italia got angry, gritted his teeth and his pupils shrunk. "I already told you I won't let you hurt her."  They both looked into each other's eyes, with a determination that I have rarely seen in Italy, but I could not let something irremediable happen, after all, the plan was mine and if it failed it would be my fault and only I would have to pay the consequences.  Germany threw himself on Italy with a punch ready to hit him, but I didn't allow it.  I pushed Italia and took the fist in the face, falling back to the ground.  My cheek was really sore and my mouth tasted of blood from having cut my lip.  "GREECE!"  Italy screamed rushing with his eyes swollen with tears, he knelt next to me and took my hit cheek with his hand, caressing it tenderly, continuing to cry.  I smiled at him starting to cry from the accumulated stress, the plan had failed and it was all my fault. "GET AWAY FROM HER NOW!"  Spain screamed, stamping his feet on the ground.
"We'll make you pay~" Germany said instead, ready with another punch.  Italy and I both narrowed our eyes, the moment that I hadn't calculated in my revenge had come, the moment of failure ...

"GERMANY WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?!"

Poland pov
Why would Greece want to meet me in the corridor and then why would I have to bring Portugal too?!.
I went to knock on his room and while I was waiting for someone to open it I realized that this was also Germany's room.  My heart started beating much faster than normal, every time I thought of him my body reacted strangely.  The fact that his father hurt me hadn't affected my relationship with him.  Germany had opened up so much to me, told me about his bad relationship with his father and how he hated him.  He had apologized a thousand times to me for his father's attitudes and I had always replied that he didn't have to worry and that it was an episode of the past.  I also know he was bullied because of his father, but I don't think it affected his personality.  While I was absorbed in my thoughts the door opened and South Korea appeared on the door. "Hello South, I need Portugal, can you call him please? Or if Germany is there, can you call him too?".  He gritted his teeth. "Germany is not here, he will certainly hurting some poor unfortunate, however I'm going to call Portugal."  I was stunned looking at the empty door.  What did it mean, to hurt? ...
Germany could never do something like that, I know him like myself and ... even if that were the case, why hadn't anyone ever mentioned such a thing to me?!. "Oh hey Poland how are you?"  Portugal said leaving the room followed by South Korea "W-what do you mean by hurting some poor unfortunate?!".  Portugal looked at me with a questioning look, then he looked at South Korea whose face had darkened and he seemed to understand, he knew too something that I was not aware of.
"Is time that you know it ... remember the group of bullies ... Germany was part of them and his favorite victims were Italy and ... Greece".  My eyes widened. "I-it's not possible ... Germany would never do anything to hurt anyone ... he knows Greece is my closest friend ... and then she would tell me."  .
"Believe what you want but when you will see it with your own eyes, don't say I didn't warn you," he said as he entered and closed the door.  Portugal saw my state of shock and hugged me "Don't worry... what did you want to tell me?".  At that point I remembered the appointment with Greece ... what if she wanted to talk to me about this?!  It couldn't be true, it was as if the world around me was crumbling and I was falling into darkness.  I was able to come to my senses thanks to the tremors of Portugal trying to wake me up. "Poland! I got scared, you seemed empty"  I looked at him blinking over and over.
"You must come with me" I said starting to run towards the corridor that Greece had indicated in the message. "Ok but don't run".  I had an idea of ​​what I might find and I hoped with all my heart that I was wrong.  I turned the corner closing my eyes and when I opened them I saw what South Korea meant.

Greece was on the ground with a red cheek and Italy was next to her to comfort her, in front of them were Spain and Germany.  Portugal came immediately behind me and immediately sensing how I was feeling, put his arms around me to comfort me.  Germany was preparing another punch and I had to stop him. "GERMANY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?".

Italy pov
As soon as Germany heard Poland's voice he froze, he was shaking and small drops of sweat began to fall from his forehead.  He turned very slowly with a completely shocked look.  As soon as he turned and looked Poland in the eye, she burst into tears, ran to her room sobbing and with her hands covering her face.  Germany woke up from hid trance and ran after her as quickly as possible. "Please wait," he said softly as not to make the other rooms suspicious.  We watched him run away, Greece's plan had actually worked even though it must have been a huge blow for Germany.  I helped Greece to her feet by taking her by the hips and lifting her up.
Looking up, however, I saw Spain's haunted face, the knife he held firmly in one hand, his eyes like a murderer, it was horrible.  The moment Spain threw himself on us, something, or rather someone, took him by the wrists and held him still as if he had handcuffed him.

Portugal pov
The scene had been terrible, when Poland told me to follow her I never imagined I would witness all this.  I didn't think twice about blocking Spain before it could commit something inevitable.  This is not the Spain I knew, he was always kind, he didn't go around with a knife and above all he would never mentally and physically hurt his best friend.  He tried to struggle but I was stronger than him. "Please Spain stop, this is not you, come back".  In addition to struggling now he was also trying to step on my toes. "What happened to you?!".  He didn't answer and just looked at Greece and Italy in a scowl way.
"What the hell are you four doing?! You should be in your rooms packing your bags!!"  Turning around we came face to face with the teacher and Spain seemed to calm down as soon as he heard her voice: "Go to your rooms now and tell me where Germany is".
"I think towards Poland's room," Greece said softly.  She nodded and walked off quickly adding "There will be consequences as soon as we get back."  We all watched her disappear around the corner and without a word we all went back to our respective rooms.  Who knows why she wanted Germany, something important must have happened, she didn't even care about us and just hurried to join him.  I would love to find out what news she is bringing him...

Germany pov
Poland was running faster than me and when she reached the door of her room she locked herself inside.  I slammed my fists on the door in an attempt to get it open but nothing. "Poland please ... it's not what it seems". "How could you hurt Greece ... MY BEST FRIEND?! ...  and everyone knew except me ... and do you know why ?! BECAUSE I TRUSTED YOU "Poland shouted from the room.  I heard another female voice, presumably Norway, asking for an explanation but Poland just silenced her.
"Please, there's a reason why I did it ... I-".
"SURE BECAUSE THERE IS A VALID REASON TO HURT A PERSON AND LIE TO THE ONE WHO CARES MOST ABOUT YOU!".
I sighed, I was losing her and I don't know what I would have done if I had lost her. "You have to understand how I felt, because of my father nobody looked at me and the few who did looked at me badly ...  you were the only one who helped me ... when I finally managed to clean myself a little from the reputation my father had left me I felt a feeling of anger and revenge and ... ".
"And you targeted the countries that at that moment seemed weaker to you, didn't you ?! You cleaned up from what your father did but you stained yourself again with what you did ... you know well that yours  father had no choice but you feel no compassion for him, despite the fact that he does his best to be a good father and have a message of love from you, you treat him like garbage ... stop mistreating everyone  who are next to you, you will do nothing but fall even lower Germany ... ".  I had never seen my father from this point of view, I still hate him but ... Poland's words made me think of everything my father actually did for me ... he was always close to me after the war too even if I didn't want his company and he always looked after me when I got hurt or sick.

My father wasn't the monster but me.

When I reached that conclusion, the tears fell from my eyes, I need everyone to forgive me for what i did snd firstly my father.
"GERMANY" I heard my name being called and, turning around, one of the teachers was approaching at a fast pace and with a worried expression. "Excuse me, Prof, if I'm not in my room I'll go up-" "No stop, I have to tell you something urgent"  .  I wiped away my tears and nodded. She looked at me and then sighed closing her eyes."  I don't know how to tell you ... we just got a call from the hospital ... your father has been hospitalized in an emergency and he is in critical condition ... right now he is in a coma ".

Third person pov
Germany dropped to the ground, eyes and mouth wide open, fists clenched and the whole body trembling. "The doctors said there is little hope that he will survive... so you have to go and prepare your suitcase". "That can't be true"
whispered Germany between sobs.  The teacher helped him to get up and took him to his room entrusting him to his classmates and going to call all his students telling them to hurry up.

In five minutes everyone was ready to load the bags onto the bus.  Each country was looking at Germany which was barely supporting himself on his knees.  Poland looked at him with pity, she had heard the whole conversation and wanted to talk to him but besides being still very angry and disappointed, she didn't know what to tell him.  Once everyone got on the bus, the teacher warned them: "It will be a bumpy journey so hold on tight."

Ussr pov
I couldn't take it anymore, the doctors had brought Reich into the surgery room for over four hours and still no one had come out of there.  Anxiety was devouring me and the thought of losing Reich made my whole stomach churn.  Finally, after another hour, a doctor came out of the room and approached me. "We have done everything possible but unfortunately it does not even seem that he will survive the night ... with permission we must go and warn his son".  My knees went limp as I watched doctors and surgeons leave the room worried and heartbroken.  As soon as they were all out I walked slowly towards the door of the room.  And as soon as I entered my heart shattered into a thousand pieces.  Reich had bandages all around his head where he had been hit by that son of a bitch, and he was hooked up to numerous machines.  I sat down next to him looking at the machine's screen showing his heartbeat, took his hand in mine, and at that moment I collapsed.  I started to cry and scream as loud as I could, I squeezed his hand in mine, bringing it first close to my chest and then close to my cheek. "Please... please don't leave me... I need you... no one can ever take your place in my heart ... Reich don't do this to me ... no please ".  The tears fell like a raging river from my eyes and the sobs became stronger and more irrepressible.  I had just found it again, I couldn't lose it like this, I had just confessed myself to him... it couldn't end like this ...

Third person pov
Germany was taken to the hospital and only there he finally seem to have come to his senses.  Learning where his father was, he made all the plans in a hurry and arrived in front of his father's room, took a deep breath and entered.  Inside he found who he never expected to find.  Ussr lying asleep next to his father, with horrible dark circles. He had his father's hand gripped between his and his head was resting delicately against his father's.  He smiled to himself as more tears formed from his eyes. "You've found someone who loves you."  He went to the opposite side and took Reich's other hand and squeezed it to him. "I've never been good with words ... and now I certainly don't have the strength to give you a touching speech so I'll get straight to the point dad... I was a selfish and a bad son... you were a good father and I realized it too late... I wanted to apologize and thank you... I-I was a fool because if now you are in these conditions it's only my fault...

don't leave me... I need you... "

"Germany?".  Germany opened his eyes and found himself looking at Ussr, both had red eyes, although Soviet had them much darker having cried for much longer.
"Excuse me is just that I-" "Don't worry, it's okay ... you and dad must love each other very much," Germany said, turning his eyes to his father.  Soviet nodded wiping off the new tears that had formed "Yes ... more than anything else in the world ... it was all my fault ... if only I had protected him now he would be safe."  Germany turned abruptly to Soviet "You know who it was?!" "It was UK without a shadow of a doubt ... you see us-".  At that precise moment the machines started making strange noises and the heartbeat slowed down more and more.  Soviet turned frightened and looked at his beloved, holding his hand as tightly as he could in his.
"PLEASE NOOO... DON'T GO... YOU MUST STAY HERE WITH ME ...".

Beeeeeeeeeep

"No ... it's not true ... it can't be true".  The screen showed a flat line.  Germany watched the screen feeling as if his body had been emptied of all life force as Soviet now embraced the lifeless body of his boyfriend.  His crying and screaming immediately called the doctors back to the room who made them left as quickly as possible.  Outside the room the nurses tried to calm Soviet down but he couldn't believe it. "I LOST HIM ... HE IS GONE FOREVER."  He slammed his fists on the ground as he sobbed while Germany on the contrary did not have the strength to cry or scream, he remained motionless as if he had been petrified and emptied of life.  But at that moment time seemed to stand still.
