-Third's Pov-

China hurried back to the lodge. He was exhausted, injured, and bruised.

Plus...He still haven't found Russia yet...

China:...Is he...Dead?

Another surge of guilt filled him.

He finally made it to the losge and swung the door open alerting the others inside.

Spain: CHINA!

Japan: China-san, you're alive?!

China: Yeah...No thanks to you, aru.

Spain and France went over to China and helped him onto the couch. Romano, Japan, Germany, and Prussia walk over to the couch to see if China was alright.

They all noticed that China looked really bruised and beaten.

China: I-I didn't think I make it, aru.

Prussia: You looked totally wiped out.

France: Are you okay, Mon Dieu.

China: I...I think so....T-There was something...in those mines...

Spain: Wait...You was in the mines?

Germany: That's where me and Italy were at a while back...But he's gone...

China:...Ai-yah...

Spain: Please explain amigo.

China: A monster...And I think it's Canada...He's still alive...But..He's a monster!

France:...My son...

Spain: We already know China.

China: Huh?

Japan: We found out some...disturbing clues while you were gone. Most of them were about Canada-san and America-san.

China:.....

Prussia: Still hard to believe that Birdie is Alive...Only him. Because he made America his dinner last year...

Germany: Bruder...

China:....

France: I'm still having hard times believing my son is a Wendigo but...I have no choice but to accept it...

Germany: Wait a minute...

Everyone looked at Germany. He seem very puzzled as he examines 1the room. There was one More person missing from their group.

Germany: China. Where is Russia?

China:....That's just the thing. I don't know, aru.

Romano: What do you mean you don't know, ya bastard?!

China: I JUST DON'T KNOW OKAY! W-WE HAD AN ACCIDENT AT THE RADIO TOWER AND WE BOTH FELL INTO THE MINES...T-Then I woke up alone...I couldn't even find him...I-I think he might be dead, aru...

China then proceeded to cry there as everyone else watches in silence.

Nations:....

Germany: Mein Gott...Here we go again...Losing another nation...

China: T-This is all our fault isn't it? Because of what happend last year?! Because of what we did!!! Now we're suffering!

Japan: C-China-san!

China: I'm so sorry America! I'm so sorry, aru! W-Why did I have to find your body in the mines...

Germany: Wait what?!

China: America's head in a pile...

Prussia: Fuck...His body is still down there?

China nods as he continues sobbing.

Romano: WTF?!

France: Oh no...

Prussia: Are you serious?!

China: YES! I'M SERIOUS, ARU! I WOULDN'T JOKE ABOUT THIS!

Romano: That's just...sick.

China: I..I think they fell down there. America and Canada...Both of them...

Prussia: Oh Holy Roman Empire...

Romano: Jesus Chirst!!!

China: I found his head while searching for Russia...His head and half of his body was decayed and decomposed...Rotten and left there...I couldn't find the rest of his body...

Prussia: Because Birdie must've eaten the rest...

Germany:...China, it's not just your fault. It's England as well...

China: W-What do you mean?

The others explained to China in their own way of what England has been up too this whole time. What shock China when he learns that England is still alive.

China: Opium is still alive? How and where is he now?

Prussia: We took him to a shack and left him there until we get help in the morning.

China nodded as he begins to relax on the couch. He had been enough scares for the night.

But he knew...it was not over yet.

China: Listen...Everyone. When me and Russia got to the radio tower. Before it collapsed. I think we got through to someone. Maybe some help...

Germany: How long do we have to wait?

China:...Until Dawn.

The last remaining nations swore underneath their breaths. There was only a few hours left of hell...

Will they survive?

Suddenly...There was knocking on the door?

W-Was someone there?

The nations froze in their spots.

Germany: W-Who do think it is?

Romano: I don't know, potato bastard! You go answer it.

Germany: What?! Why me?!

The knocking continued.

Prussia: W-Well. You are the leader West.

The other nations nodded.

Germany: But only if there is a meeting or at least a war!

Prussia: Well we're at war now! With the Wendigos! Know quit being a baby and go see who it is! It could be help.

Germany: Scheisse...

Germany went over to the door and had gathered the courage to turn the knob.

The door finally opens revealing the Stranger that chased China down in the mines...Only without his mask.

He's also the same person Germany saw in the mines but mistake him for the Wendigo that snag Italy.

The Stranger look like a man in his late 50s. He has long neck-length, greying hair, and a scar over his right eye, most likely got it from a Wendigo. He wears thick clothes to protect himself from the elements, and when wielding his flamethrower e dons a bandana and goggles as protection against the flames' heat.

Germany: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!

Germany points his gun at the man, who doesn't even flinch.

Stranger: Alright calm down. I'm here to tell you all what you're up against.
But let me set it clear with you all...You'll should have never returned to this mountain. Espically with what you all did last year.

Everyone stared in shock at the man before Prussia asked.

Prussia: You mean with Alfred and Birdie-I mean Matthew?

France: B-But how do you know?

The nations begin to wonder how the hell this guy knew the North American Brothers? Or how was he involved? Who is this man?
