{Hetaoni} Italy x Reader {Part One}

You had been walking for ages.
Your legs hurt as you walked endlessly through a thin forest. The path led you straight ahead, and there weren't many hills, but still.
Every now and then Germany would make you run, or jog, but finally you had arrived.

Nobody said anything, nobody had even mentioned this place to you.

But somehow you knew.

You just…Knew.

A pang of pain hit your head.

More images flashed into your head…

These creepy, rusted gates, swung open…The door, a while ahead slamming shut…It was shut…It won't open…It won't…Open…But it had to!

"___________!" said Prussia

Your eyes snapped open, moist with tears from the pain, luckily the others were all staring at the old mansion.

"This is it! This creepy old mansion is what we came here for!" he said

"I know" you said quietly

They all looked at you, worried

"Uh-Um-I mean, this mansion must be what we came here for, I mean, we didn't come her to look at that fat pigeon did we!?" You were a terrible liar, you knew that, you laughed nervously, pointing to a nearby pigeon.

They seemed to buy it though, and went back to discussing the mansion.

The more you looked at it, the more you wanted to turn and run away, the sight of it made you feel…strange…

It was sickeningly familiar, your heart beat picked up, most people would turn cold with fear but your face was burning up.


Prussia was the first to move forward.

"C'mon guys, are you scared?" he said, laughing

…Laughing…He shouldn't be laughing

You shook your head furiously.

No, no! You forced a smile, you had to smile when no one else would, you had to be strong.

But still with your smile, you were the last to enter.

Germany followed after Prussia, then Japan, the Italy, he turned to you.

"Do you want to go back?" he asked "Its ok, I won't think any less of you if -"

"No!" you shouted, his eyes widened, flustered you laughed it off. "No, I mean, I've come so far, and-and besides, you told me to stay close to you didn't you?" you smiled again

You walked right up beside him, entering the house.

"So that's what I'll do" you finished, standing close to him


And then it hit you, a feeling, A sinking feeling


"____________"


"Hm?" you asked


"Are you o-"

He was cut off a smashing sound echoed through the surprisingly clean halls.

You stepped back in shock, before stepping back again as the wind slammed the door shut.

Italy followed after you

"Shhh" he hushed "Its ok Mi Bella"

Your heart was pounding, and you could hear the blood rushing through you.

"That sounded like it came from the kitchen" confirmed Japan "I will go and investigate"

Prussia laughed "Jesus ________ your such a scaredy cat" he teased "Hey Japan, are you really going off alone?" he asked

"Yes, please don't worry" Japan said not looking back, and before you knew it, he had disappeared down the hall.

"Wait Japan!" you called after him, but he couldn't hear you.

"Calm down ________" said Germany "Why did you even come if your so nervous?"

You were still looking after Japan, but he was gone.

"I just wanted to-" you started, turning to Germany, you froze as you looked behind him, down the hall.

It stood tall, giant, it was…It was…You didn't know, but it was big, and it was looking at you and it was getting closer.

You wanted to warn them, you wanted to tell them to run, but all that came out of your mouth was a scream, it wasn't a shrill, high-pitched scream, it was a pained, tortured scream, because the moment you laid eyes on that…That thing, your head felt as if it was about to explode.
Loud, hissing whispers filled your ears, so many of them, but what were they saying? There were to many, all hissing over each other at once, your head felt like it was in a vice grip, you couldn't breath, you just clutched it wincing.

Then Images, images again. They flashed one after the other, so fast you only caught a glimpse of each one.
So many images, so many faces, so many visions.

Something snapped

Your eyes flashed open, and you were staring at the feet of the monster. You were alone.
This was the end. You knew it.
A sick feeling filled your stomach.

But then, you felt your body start to move on its own.

You felt yourself instantly stand up, and you raked your nails against the belly of the monster, startled it lunged back, clambering to your feet, your scrambled up the stairs, blindly sprinting through the halls of this labyrinth of a mansion.

You slammed open a door to a room, just an ordinary room.

Dust clung to everything, and it smelt musty and of age.

You stumbled into it, desperately grabbing a chair, leaning it firmly under the doorknob.

You almost lunged for the bed, crawling under it, you clutched your head and waited for yourself to stop shaking.
You trembled furiously.

You struggled to breathe.

You tried to calm yourself.

Calm yourself…

Calm! You repeated firmly in your mind…Finally, your body started to cooperate.

Breath in. Breath out.

The trembling still hadn't stopped though.

Your head hurt, your legs hurt.

You let out a pathetic whimper and crawled further under the bed, you brought your knees up to your chest and hugged them.

That thing…What the hell was that!?

You winced as the pain rushed back to your head, every time you tried to remember it your head would hurt.
…Does that mean that you weren't supposed to remember? Does that mean you weren't allowed to remember?

That's a better way to put it. You never were the kind of girl that followed the rules.

You closed your eyes, and prepared for the pain.

Remember! What is it? Have you seen it before?

It was a monster…A demon…Its skin…Blue…and dead…Its eyes…Its face. They were deformed…

Your head hurt, but you remembered. Vaguely...

You had seen this thing before

You let out a strangled gasp as the whispers returned. They hissed, they howled, they hurt.
You covered your ears.
What happened!? What did you do wrong!? Did you make a mistake!?

It stopped.

The whispers stopped.

…Did I Make a mistake…?

Suddenly, everything went black, it was dark, and you couldn't see anything. What was happening!? Did you die? No!

"No!" you screamed

"Shhh" hushed another voice. "Its ok"

A faint glow began to push the shadows back.

That voice familiar, you followed it and the light through the darkness…

That voice…

That was your voice.
