Brotherhood (New Zealand Countryhumans)

Infected

America's POV:

Well, it wasn't how I wanted to start the day, but there wasn't much I could do.

Aus held me in place as Canada took off my jumper. Zea went to grab a snack because he was hungry. But I think he just didn't want to see anything. The cuts were the prettiest things to look at.

"At least three of these are infected. Why didn't you tell me about this?" Nada asked.

"It's fine. They don't hurt," I lied.

"That is not the point. You told me you stopped doing this," He pressured.

"And I did! These are just old," I continued to lie.

"This one is new and so is this one. This one is also new." He said, pointing to all the new ones.

Canada eventually found a bandage and some kind of liquid. He then proceeded to squirt the liquid in my cuts. It hurt like hell and no matter how much I struggled, I couldn't escape from Aussie's grip. He was surprisingly strong.

Once all my cuts were covered, I was let go of, but I wasn't out of the woods yet. I still had to try and convince Canada that I was fine.

"Hey, I found some cookies, do you guys want some?" Zea came back into the room with a box of these cookies.

"Hey! Those cookies aren't for kids!" Netherlands ran into the room after Zea and grabbed the cookies off of him.

He stopped and looked down at me on the ground surrounded by my brothers. It must have looked like some kind of satanic ritual.

"I'm just going to eat my cookies in the next room." He sighed as he backed away out of the room.

"How can cookies not be for kids?" Zea asked, running after him.

"Go summon Satan with your brothers," Netherlands shouted at him.

"But I'm hungry!"

I snatched my jumper back while the others were distracted and put it on.

Canada then lectured me on the dangers of cutting myself and how I always have support available to me and blah, blah, blah. I got bored really quick

"I'm not letting you out of my sight until you understand all of this." It was at this point Zea walked back in and this time with an idea that was mildly annoying but overall pretty good.

"Can you guys stay over the night?" Zea asked. Nada immediately agreed and Aussie ran out of the room to ask Neth. I wasn't very sure it would work, but sure enough, Aussie ran back into the room excitedly.

"He said we could! Come up to our room! I'll show you where we sleep!" Aussie shouted excitedly. Netherlands walked in behind him.

"Yes, but! You four are not to wake me up early tomorrow, you are not to get into my stuff, that includes the cookies, New Zealand and you are not to fight," Netherlands started listing off all of the rules.

Nevertheless we were all incredibly excited.

Tonga's POV:

I was a little nervous about the fact that Dolphin wasn't anywhere to be seen when I woke up. I figured she probably went back for Maori at UK's house. Palau made it clear to me that she was not happy with me. Fiji on the other hand was really interested in what went down.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Fiji asked.

"From what Tonga has said, it sounds like she is still at UK's," Palau pointed out.

"So we go down there and f#ck him up!" Fiji announced.

"Language! And not yet. We will head home and get the others." Palau explained.

"The more the merrier," I commented with a smile.

"You haven't earned the right to speak after what you did," Palau snapped.

"I didn't do anything," I whined.

"You encouraged our little sister to fight a fully grown man!" Palau shouted.

"She is her own country and she can do what she wants. As her big brother, I'm going to be there to encourage her in everything she does," I argued.

"You know darn well that the only chance we have to survive in this messed up world is to stay peaceful. You know what!" Palau snapped, she pulled off Fiji's eyepatch and covered my mouth. I didn't see how it would stop from talking, but she was obviously angry and I didn't want to push my luck.

"Hey!" Fiji shouted. He covered his eye.

"Don't fight with me Fiji! You aren't blind!" She shouted. He went quiet too and continued to cover his eye. I felt uncomfortably wearing Fiji's eyepatch over my mouth, not only because Fiji always wears it, but because Fiji has never bothered to clean out any of his cuts around his eyes and sometimes they get infected and swell with pus.

I didn't want to think about how much pus had been on the eyepatch that was covering my mouth. I almost felt sick.

"We should stop at Malaysia's house on the way back, he might want to join us," Palau mumbled.

Fiji mumbled in agreement while I was afraid to open my mouth.

I just followed Palau while Fiji walked next to me. After about half an hour, we made it to Malaysia's house and the sun was well up by now. As we approached the door, we noticed one of the windows was broken.

Palau knocked on the door and waited. It didn't take long for someone to answer, but it wasn't Malaysia. It was Maori.

"Oh, kia ora," Maori greeted.

"Maori? I thought you were-" Palau started but Maori cut her off.

"Yeah, yeah, but Dolphin ended up getting me out of there, she's inside," Maori smiled.

I felt a sense of relief wash over me as I stepped in the house, I saw her sitting on the floor playing a card game with Malaysia and his friends.

"Dolphin! You did it!" I shouted, making the mistake of opening my mouth. My tongue made contact with the eyepatch and I quickly felt like vomiting. I ripped off the eyepatch and ran outside and threw up in the garden.
