The Kindness of Others
"Hey (c/n).You can't stay locked in here forever you know."
"Yes I can!Im never coming out of isolation.You can't make me!"
"Well this is what wars are for."
"No!I'd rather DIE then have to fight you."
"W-why's that?"
"Your all I have left,everyone that was close to me is gone,and you are the only on who actually cares for me."
"I know,but if you go out there,you can make new friends and ones close to your heart."
"No they'll just leave me.I've had it happen too many times,not letting it happen again."
"You'll get bored being in isolation."
"Yes I will,but that's what your here for."
"Wait I'm not here for your entertainment!I have a country of my own to manage too you know...."
"Well that's what you did when we were kids.Haha!"
"That's not funny!And when we were kids,doesn't have anything to do with now."
"There is one thing."
"And that would be?"
"Do you remember that pinky promise?"
"*sigh*Yes I do.You forced me to remember.Come here!"
*hugs*

"Hey leave us alone!"
"C-Croatia.....I'm scared....."
"Don't worry,I'll fight him."
"B-but fighting is bad!I promised not to fight anyone,and be their friends instead."
"It's not going to work,your a new county and this douche nozzle wants to get rid of you.Let me protect you."
"But the fighting....."
"*throat clearing*But I am your prince!Please Princess you must return to the castle to safety!"
"Oh I get it!Ok!"
" I ran away....."
"Anything is better than fighting someone,so you won!"
"I won?Thats not how it works though (c/n),I get your still new to this but you won't be saying that forever."

I awoke from my slumber,shuffling around off the damp ground.This woke Canada and Cyprus who stood up and stretched.Canada folded up the sheet again but when we looked at the sky,it was night time.
The clouds covered the moon and stars,with my limited battery on this tablet I don't want to use it as a flashlight.I knew where to go and which direction,but it was hard to see some trees in the dark.
"H-hey is that light I see ahead?"
Said Canada.He was right,there was a dim light up ahead and it didn't seem to move at all,meaning it wasn't a lamp or something.
"Hey do you think that's the town?"Cyprus started running ahead and Canada had to chase him.I did too,and we found the source of the light.
Cyprus was right,it was the town and a sigh was heard from us.We were walking through the town,and people were just closing up their shops and things before we got there.
One was open,it seemed to be a bakery.We were going to walk past it but the person called us over."Hey you three are some new faces!Would you like some bread?Ill make it fresh~"
I looked at Cyprus and Canada but I don't think any of us have any money on us.
"Um we don't have any money....sorry."
She chuckled and said that it was fine,she'll give it to us for free."By the way,the name is Naomi k?"We shrugged but thanked her for the kindness.
As she was baking the bread,she came back to the front to chat with us."So you guys heard about the war?"We all tensed up because we are all apart of this in some way."Y-yeah we have.We are actually just wandering around...so-"
"Oh if you want you three can stay here if you want,I'm always here to help."She doesn't even know our names yet,but she wants to help us.I hope she stays this kind during the war."That's very thoughtful,but will it trouble you?"
"No,don't worry about it.Hey I have some extra rooms in the back,so it's fine.By the way,what's your names?"
"Oh um my name is.....Cy."
"M-my name is M-Matthew,but you can call me Matt if you want...."
"My name is.....(fa/n)."
I didn't want to tell her my first name,so I gave her a fake one instead.I see Cy and Matt did the same.Cy might be a bit of a stretch,but at least we all had the same idea.
"Ok well you guys an come on in,I'll lead you to the living room."She let us in,and she brought us to a small living room.The place was small,but it had four different bedrooms,a kitchen,bathroom and the living room with the bakery in the front.The bedrooms were small,but big enough for a bed and dresser.
We ate the bread,which was nice and warm."Well if you were wandering,why are you going from place to place at all?"We all looked at each other but Cyprus spoke up."Well our house got destroyed so we've been traveling together since.It really sucks."
"Oh I feel sorry for you.My older brothers had to go fight in the war,so hey aren't here for now.Just me."
Im not going to ask where her parents are,because I don't want to make her sad.
"Well it's best if you know a bit about us right?Well Matthew over here is soft spoken,he's nice and polite.He shouldn't cause too much trouble.
(fa/n) isn't very social,she barely speaks to us.But she is nice and will usually answer with nods of yes and no.I am talkative,and a pacifist,so I'm not to fond of this war business."
I watched Canada's face go blank,like he was embarrassed.Cyprus's face was a half smile about to start laughing and I had a straight face on,because I knew he was right about all of the things he said.
"Well that's nice to know.We should get some rest though,it's pretty late at night.Also,(fa/n),what's that your holding close to you?"
"Tablet."
"Oh I have one too!I just got one,if you need to charge it just-or that works too."I handed the tablet to her and she showed us to our rooms.Like I said before,the rooms are small,but it's better than nothing.
There was a small music box on the dresser,and a piece of paper under it.It read.'This is for one of the best brothers I could have!'The song was calming and put me right to sleep.
I want to dream about.........What my life could have been....Compared to what I am.
