☀️

[name] was worried about how Ukraine would react to this. He's seen America's reaction to the death of her sister, he's worried that it would be the same for Ukraine.

The 4 gathered in the living room without Ukraine, discussing who could be the killer.

"[name] and I were together when we found her dead body. Where were the two of you?"

"I was sleeping. Dead asleep." America crossed her arms, leaning on the cushion. 

"I'm sleeping too?" Germany found Poland's question odd. Of course, all the countries were asleep at the time of Russia's death. She failed to realize that one of her headpieces was missing.

"Everyone, please follow me into a dark room." The countries in the room were confused by the Polish's sudden request. "I have some evidence to share."

They all entered a pitched black room in a far corner of the house. [name] felt uneasy, once he stepped into the room. Anything could happen right now.

To his right, something glowed a bright-ish blue hue. Now he remembered what he saw in the corner of his eyes, the same glow that night. He knew where this was gonna go.

"Germany, where were you last night again?" Poland raised all suspicions about her. Germany jolted when they pointed their finger at her.

"I was with America and Ukraine in our room?" Despite being in the dark, the German could feel all their eyes on her. They're going to vote her out, aren't they? 

"Well, [name] and I. We saw your headpiece near the kitchen last night, near the crime scene." Poland fished out her missing headpiece from his back, it glowed as brightly as the one she currently wore. "Are you sure you were with America and Ukraine during the night?"

"Of course—? Ame back me up here?! Did you ever see me leave the room?" Germany, afraid of what's going to happen to her when she's voted out, defended herself. 

"I mean— I was dead asleep so I dunno.."

"Besides that point, you've been acting awfully suspicious when Romania was voted out.." Poland tossed the glowing headpiece away, brushing his hand on his pants. "As if you're afraid of getting kicked out."

"Literally, doesn't everyone feel the same way?! Didn't you see what 'they' did to the countries that were voted out??" Germany fought back, raising her voice at Poland. She took a step closer and they took a step back.

"I KNOW IT'S YOU! YOU DIRTY BASTARD! DON'T EVEN TRY HIDING IT NOW." Poland shot back, raising their voice louder than hers. "IT'S CLEAR AS DAY, AND ALL THE CLUES ARE POINTING TO YOU."

"DIRTY BASTARD? How. Dare. YOU? IF ANYTHING, YOU'RE THE ONE SUSPICIOUS WITH YOUR ABILITY TO TURN INVISIBLE!" Germany approached, her hands ready to pull his collar. 

"DON'T TOUCH ME." Poland swatted her hand away. They looked like a cat backed up in the corner, being bullied by a big dog which was Germany. 

[name] and America both looked at the scene in front of them. [name] being worried that another life will be lost, and America not giving a fuck anymore after Canada's death.

[name] stepped up, trying to pry Germany off Poland to stop the fight. The two neighbouring countries still growled at each other like dogs, glaring at one another.

"What's going on?" Ukraine appeared before the door, rubbing his eyes. He was awakened from his sleep by the commotion Poland and Germany were causing.

The 4 countries tensed up, praying that he wouldn't notice his sister missing. [name] nervously smiled at the country all the while holding Germany back from attacking Poland. "Nothing much—! Just a morning fight we have here.."

"Yep! They were just.. arguing because someone woke up on the wrong side of bed!" America patted Ukraine's shoulder, grinning at him despite being in the dark. "We'll resolve this, don't worry!"

"Wait, where's Russia?" Ukraine's eyes were trained to be in the dark, and he noticed it was just the 5 of them in the room. 

Everyone stayed silent, they couldn't choose between the painful truth and a beautiful lie to cover Russia's death. Ukraine's eyes darkened, getting a hint of something he shouldn't know.

"Where is she?" The other four countries remained silent, each looking at the others, hoping that someone would break the tension. 

Ukraine was growing impatient with waiting, he asked again, this time in a demanding tone. "Where. Is. She?"

"In the kitchen.." [name] gulped, tugging his collar anxiously as he prayed that none of them would jump him for telling. 

The Ukrainian immediately bolted out of the room. Being a protective brother, everyone knew that he was worried sick about his sister. [name] released Germany, running after his friend. 

"..." Ukraine's composure remained still and calm, but everyone knew. The light in Ukraine's eyes was gone when he spotted Russia's body remaining in the same position as she was left last night. 

The 4 countries watched Ukraine from a distance, wary of what would happen next. 

A hand gently caressed Russia's hair. Death in this house was inevitable, but Ukraine didn't expect it to be this soon. He hated himself for jinxing it. His catastrophe had become a reality. 

⅕ chances, he told himself. He wasn't worried about him dying, he was worried about her life more than his. If anything, he would be willing to sacrifice his life for hers.

It was awkward for the four countries to watch the Ukrainian mourn, especially for Germany.

Germany stood there awkwardly, she was in the midst of being ejected until Ukraine came. Nonetheless, she knew that her fate couldn't be changed anymore. 

Are they still going to vote? All this waiting time is making her heart beat faster, she wants this to be over. She's tired of waiting for her unavoidable death.

The heated tension between Poland and Germany has yet to fade. The Polish would occasionally glare at her which she would catch. 

"I don't think he's in the right shape to vote guys... let's not wait for him?" [name] quietly whispered to the others, careful not to catch the other's attention. 'Please don't attack me..!'

America nodded, shuffling away from the kitchen with the others tiptoeing along. 

"So back to where we were..." Poland held their two hands together, trying his best to maintain his composure. His lips were pressed onto one another as he faked a smile. "I suspect you, the Federal Republic of Germany."

"Just vote me out already... It's no use for me to defend myself." Germany sighed in defeat, crossing her arms and preparing herself for what was to come. "Just so you know, if I die and the door doesn't unlock. You're dead."

And without much fight, the German stepped away from the crew. There was a soft click that [name] barely heard, followed by a loud gunshot. Nyxar dripped from her wound and to the floor, tainting the already stained wooden floor.

The gun echoed so loud that [name] bet that Ukraine had heard it all the way in the kitchen. Germany's body fell limp, the thud echoing to the kitchen. 

Poland trembled, their lips quivering, knowing what they had done. After all that trauma he had been through, they thought they would've felt glad that Germany was gone. 

Shame, they felt ashamed for blaming her. They clutched their wing, remembering the scar the World War had left underneath the flowers they would use to cover it up. Why? Why does he feel this? Was it because Germany used to be one of the few countries he cherished? 

Poland could feel his face warp with every emotion he's feeling now. He plucked out a flower from his wing, resting it on her chest. He hated her, but he couldn't hate a dead country. 

Even while they're placing a flower on her chest, their every cell screams at him, calling them a traitor. Just like her. The Polish frowned, maybe in another universe, he wouldn't have been too emotional and sensitive, maybe they'll still remain best buddies.

Four countries left. And yet, they were unsure whether they had voted the killer off yet..

Poland slumped on the couch beside them. Their brain was clearly overloaded with emotions foreign to them. Too tired to even check if Germany was the killer or not.

🌙

This time, it was Poland, unable to sleep through the night, his mind was still stuck in the past, remembering those painful memories. His eyes panned to the other countries that agreed to share a room together despite not being able to see clearly in the dark.

Ukraine was wide awake with him, his eyes were red and puffy from crying. The Polish heard the quiet sniffles from the other, he turned his head, looking at the silhouette of the country curled up.

"Hey... You okay..?" Poland whispered softly but still audible for Ukraine to hear. They weren't really expecting a reply from the other. Although they weren't able to see Ukraine properly, they smiled at the blurry figure. "I'm here if you wanna talk.." 

Of course, they didn't get a reply. Without anything to do, they tried going back to sleep again.

☀️

Hunger was what woke [name] up. His mouth itched more than it had in the previous days. Hopefully, this game will end before he goes berserk over food. He could practically feel the hunger eating him alive. 

'Seems like everyone's awake...' The sunlight creeping through the boarded windows and the emptiness of the room were enough for [name] to tell that he was the last to wake up.

Not wanting to keep everyone waiting, the country hurried down to meet with the others. 

"Oh dear.. do you think this was suicide or.." Poland's heart jumped when they saw Ukraine's body in the kitchen. 

"I dunno... seems like it." America shrugged, drained to even check the body. 

"If only we had voted the killer out sooner."

"But hey, at least they're reunited somewhere up there."

"Ame, I wasn't just talking about the two siblings..." Poland sighed as he rubbed his temples. "I'm talking about the lives we've lost all for this stupid game."

Something in America snapped, her memory replayed the scene of her sister's dead body over and over again. She wished she could've been a better sister to Canada, she wished she had spent more time with her instead of ignoring her.

"Let's not dwell on this further and lose any more lives. Where's [name]?" Just when the American asked, [name]'s head popped out of the wall like he was searching for something. 

"Everyone's here? Ok, let's go." [name] furrowed his brows, 'everyone'? It was only the three of them here. Unless..

Poland grabbed his hand, dragging his still body across the room. "C'mon! Let's— not think about it! Ukraine is waiting for us on the other side!"

It was not enough to reassure [name], but he followed along. 

The group started with ten and ended with four or three. Finally, they could see the light of day again. 

As America pushed open the doors, [name] took a moment to look back at the dark house. All the countries they've lost, their bodies will forever be lost in this house.

'Finally, I can eat again..' [name] sighed in relief as the group left the 'Haunted' house. He was already thinking of which restaurant to dine in. "Do y'all wanna go somewhere to eat?"

"Fine by me."

"Sure, I don't mind."

McDonald's, yes they should boycott it, but [name] was practically starving here. Anyways, McDonald's is practically anywhere and everywhere except in a few countries. 

Like a hungry beast he was, he ordered almost everything on the menu. Thank god it wasn't late at night, if not the workers would jump his ass right now.

[name] couldn't hold himself back from devouring the Big Macs and Happy Meals once he got his hands on them. Both Poland and the all-time McDonald's eater looked petrified. [name] was too hungry to even pay attention to their faces and continued chomping on his feast.

He heard screaming and crying in the background, but who cares! Not his child, not his problem! Within minutes, he burned through the orders and ate like he hadn't eaten in days. Which he didn't.

The screams and cries only grew louder as he neared the last bite of his burger. Sounds like a kid was jealous of his delicious, big, fat meal that'll clog one's coronary arteries. 

Finally, after days locked in some 'haunted' house without food, [name] could feel full again. He didn't hold back at the big juicy Big Mac and bit it down. It was finger-lickin' good, 10/10. By then the kid's tears and cries had died down. 

"𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿!"

Winner? As in he won for being the fastest and fattest eater? [name] looked up from the tray he had been focusing on since the start of his feast. His two friends were gone without a trace, and not even food was left behind.

'Darn, they must have dine and dashed.' Luckily, the three paid for their orders beforehand, so [name] doesn't have to cover them. 'Maybe it was the way I ate? Or was I too hungry that it crept them out?'

That wasn't the reason wasn't it? It was something far more sinister.

A feather flown by [name]'s eyes and the whole scene changed. 

He hadn't left the haunted home at all.
