Just because I'm telling you this story, doesn't mean I'm alive at the end. This is the story of (country) the forgotten country. Nobody remembers her because she died many years ago. There's only one person who still remembers; her older brother, Sweden. This is the story of how I died.
It all started when I was four. Sweden, or Sve, was nine. "(name), bed time," he said. We were living on our own since his parents had died. I was adopted. Every night, Sve used to sing me the same lullaby. Tucking me in, Sve opened his mouth to sing; "I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go, when all those shadows almost killed your light. I remember you said, 'Don't leave me here alone.' But all that's dead and gone and past, tonight~"
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound~
"Good night, (name)," Sve would say and kiss my forehead.
That's how my childhood went. Then, a terrible war broke out between Sve and Denmark. It was about who had territory over me, (country). I was eighteen and Sve was twenty three. That's when he went to join the army. Naturally, he ordered me to stay home, but I joined anyway. I had to fight for my country. I signed up as (guy's name). In the army, I learned to shoot, I fought in the battles, and I watched over Sve the whole time. When I was sure we would win, I told Sve who I really was. He was so upset and he yelled at me for coming. And that's where we are now. Oh, and before I forget, that's when the shooting started.
Grabbing my gun, I ran out of the tent and into the battlefield. The whole Danish army was approaching and our only option was to fight them head on.
"(name)! Stay here! You'll get hurt," Sve yelled over the ruckus.
"No, Sve. I want to fight. You've protected me all these years, but now it's my turn," and with that, I ran off and got lost in the fight, leaving a worried Swede behind.
The fight was long and gory with no end. I was killing enemies left and right, but in the excitement, I didn't notice the danish soldier sneaking up behind me. I just had time to turn around and see his face before he buried his sword into my stomach.
I screamed bloody murder as I fell into a pathetic heap on the ground, writhing and spewing blood from my mouth. I clutched at my middle, the sword still buried inside.
"(NAME)!!! (Name), no. Don't die on me. Don't you dare!" I heard Sve scream as he ran up behind me. He pulled me into lap and cradled me in his arms, saying nothing. I was no fool. I knew I was a goner. But I had one last dying wish.
"S-Sve?" I whispered, clutching his hand like a life line, "Can you...sing? For me? Before I...go?"
"Don't talk like that, (Name). You'll make it. You have to," He said, more to himself than to me.
"Please..."I try to say, but it sounded like I was being strangled. Tears are running down my cheeks now. Sve takes one look at me, also crying, and starts to sing;
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
It continued like that as I grew weaker and weaker. Sve was fading in and out of focus now, and I was terrified. "Sve," I whispered, "I have to go now... I love you...you know that?"
"No. No, (Name), don't leave me. Please..." Sve seemed so scared then. I wondered if he was more afraid than me.
"I'm sorry... I have to. Good bye... I lov..." I gave one last shudder as I took my dying breath, the words "I love you" still on my tongue.
He screamed that day. He was in a rage. He took my empty carcass back to camp, and then went to hunt down the soldier who did this. That had been the last day he ever sang or spoke clearly. Now, he only mumbles when necessary. Sweden won the war, but there was no point now. (Country), and (Name), were long gone.
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Sealed Away Akise x Reader Pt. 2
Chapter 2
As the two of you reached the safe room you thought you heard footsteps behind you. "Akise are you sure this is safe? I think someone's behind us..." you asked with a slight panic lacing your words. "I'm positive. Now let's hurry okay?" Akise said while smiling at you. Once you made it to the same room, the door suddenly flew open and you felt someone shove both you and Akise inside. "Are you alright ______?!" Akise then went into a slight panic as he checked you over to make sure you were alright. "Y-Yeah I'm fine- AH!" You were cut off by a hand grabbing your waist and pulling you off the ground. And as you felt something being p

Hi guys! It's Mady (again). So It's a four day weekend and I've been listening to this song [link] as I go to sleep. Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars wrote it for the Hunger Games movie. I got this little idea when on some interview Taylor said it was like a death lullaby. It's so depressing... TT_TT I would've cried so much harder at the premiere if they played this (SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT!) when Rue died. Sorry if it seems rushed. I wrote it in a corner of my cousin's house when the little kids got too loud. So, tell me if you spot ANY grammar, typing, etc. mistakes. Anyways, happy Easter!
