Chapter 1: Lost
The first of my senses was sound as I could hear wind whistling passed my ears. I could hear the soft lapping of ocean water to my right. The occasional seagull chirp called from above.
I found the strength to clench my hands. Sand gathered at the tip of my fingers. With that I opened my eyes. I was first greeted with a vast sky of grey clouds above. I was lying on my back and to my knowledge I was lying in sand. A beach? I thought groggily.
The world seemed to swirl around me as I blinked my eyes more open. It was a beach. Just then I felt a sudden rush of déjà vu. I know I've been in this situation on more than one occasion. I sat up quickly, severely hoping that I wasn't where I think I was.
I winced at the wounds that I found on my forearms and blood stream lightly from my forehead. I ignored them and frantically looked around. I gasped abruptly when I saw the shore. There was the large body of a plane slowly sinking into the undertow of the ocean.
I ran near the shore and collapsed on my knees. "This cannot be happening aru." I respired. My memory came back like a blow to the skull. I frantically waded through the water as I remembered that there was indeed someone with me on that plane. "Russia!" I exclaimed. I he could still be in there. But before I dove into the water on a rescue mission, I heard someone call my name.
"China! I'm over here da~" I heard Russia's voice come from further down the beach. I raced over to find that the Russian's lower half was pinned down by debris. "I'm in a bit of a pickle huh Yao-yao." He said with a sweet smile despite the situation he was in, although I could see the slight twinge of pain in his expression.
"Come on Russia, we need to get you out of there! Grab my hands aru!" I took his hands anyway and started pulling. Russia began protesting immediately, exclaiming out of pain.
"Let go, don't move me!" he winced. I let go instantly. I was just going to have to lift the stuff off of him. I grabbed the edge of what I think was half of the plane's wing. "China, don't strain yourself." Said Russia.
"I may be old," I grunted. "But I'm still a super power!" I flipped the over with all my strength. I brushed my hands off with satisfaction. Although I could kind of feel my wound bleeding more. I should take care of those.
"Yey! You did it! I could have done it myself, but there's this mysterious pain in my back." I looked down at Russia who was still lying on his front and nearly screamed. "What? What's wrong China?" The Russian asked obliviously.
"Um…wait here and don't move aru! I'll be right back!" I frantically looked around for the chances of finding a first aid kit or something. I had to be fast, I don't know how much time I had. After ten or fifteen later I found a red and white box floating in the water.
"Russia!" I ran to him, suddenly remembering that I needed to keep him awake. "Come on Russia, stay with me aru!" I smacked his face since he was dozing off.
"Ow~ Yao-yao why'd you do that?" he whined sleepily. I can't have him fall asleep on me. I looked at his back with a grimace. There was metal shrapnel lodge in his back. The largest one seemed about the size of a chapter book cover.
They didn't look too deep so I guess the best thing to do is take them out. "Russia. This is going to hurt a bit ok aru? Please don't move."
"Um…ok but what are you-gahh!" Russia yelped when I pulled out the largest one first. "What is that-ahh!" I quickly tried to pull the rest of them out. Russia looked over his shoulder with wide eyes. I forcefully turned his head back.
"Don't look at it! Dammit aru! I need you to take your coat off." I yanked on the collar of his coat. The fabric was to thick to cut and it was in the way. There could be smaller pieces imbedded within his back.
"Nyet! I don't want to!" He said stubbornly. "It's too cold!"
"It's like eighty degrees out here, how are you cold? I'll cut it if you don't take it off aru!" I warned. It was like dealing with a child, but fortunately I had a lot of experience with dealing with children. I could see the younger nation pout deeply.
I helped him sit up and slip the hefty coat off of his shoulders. Russia winced a bit. He was wearing a tank top underneath. He solidly refused to take off his scarf, but I didn't force him to do it anyway. I lifted his shirt up to examine the damage. There were large cuts down his back that were still bleeding. Among them, I've noticed that there were old scars that scattered his back as well.
I opened the first aid kit and took out the alcohol and poured it over the wounds. Russia winced. "Sorry, I should have warned you first aru."
"It's alright. I've been through worse. It's not like I'll die anyway. We're immortal remember da?" He chuckled. I frowned darkly. I tried hard to remember every single thing that happened before the crash. How exactly did the plane go down?
"Hmm…It's seems like the storm out there is really bad aru. This is why I don't like flying." I grumbled. I'm not sure how weather works but I think we're safe from the lighting if we stay flying above the clouds right?
I was currently on Russia's privet jet because he offered to give me a lift from yet another failure of a world meeting. The Russian was not in the room I was sitting in right now because he said he was going to talk with the pilots. I busied myself by looking out the small window and staring at the virtually black clouds below.
Russia on the other hand was only gone for a few minutes until the tall country came back with a weird expression on his face.
"Well China…I don't know how to say this, but the plane's kind of going down." He said casually. I asked him to repeat himself as I did not believe him at first. But when he gave a more than serious expression, I started to panic.
"What happened?! Why are we going down aru?" I demanded.
"Well, there was something about faulty wiring. But long story short, they abandoned the plane and left a note." Russia held up a post-it note with scribbled writing on it.
"Oh god what are we going to do aru! Why on earth would they just leave us here?" At that moment the lights in the jet shut off. I could literally feel the plane descending. I pressed my face to the window and saw us getting closer to their storm clouds. I could feel my heart going a mile a second. "Russia, isn't there any parachutes left aru?!"
"I don't know, but don't yell at me, you're making me nervous." Russia pouted. I grabbed the front of his coat.
"You should be! We are going to die!" I yelled. I pulled on the emergency door and the updraft ripped it off. Wind rushed into the plane like a wild rushing river.
"We're going to have to jump it!" I yelled over the wind. Russia grabbed me by the waist and pulled me back.
"Nyet China! Remember when I did that? I broke nearly every bone in my body and I even landed on the soft snow!" He cried. Right in that moment, the plane went into a nose dive. Russia and I tumbled to the front of the plane and hit the door to the cockpit. Fortunately it didn't hurt because I happened to land on Russia's broad body. "I can't move!" he whined.
I don't remember much after that because I think I blacked out. I remember a flash of fire and then water. Wait…Water? I could have drowned. How did I survive? And what raised more questions is how did Russia end up have more serious wounds than me?
"…ina…China?" Russia's voice brought me back to the present. I was absentmindedly rubbed anti-bacterial cream on his back. I didn't notice that he stopped flinching and was humming happily.
"S-sorry about that aru." I wanted to bring up the plane crash but I think I'll ask him later. "Can you lift up your arms for a minute?" I said as I was about to apply the bandages. As I went around his torso, I couldn't help, but notice how surprisingly muscular he was. I've never actually seen Russia shirtless so I thought he was a little huskier. It was hard to tell since he liked to wear bulky winter coats that were hundreds of years old.
I wrapped the bandages around him, feeling a bit uncomfortable. I could feel Russia's eyes on me, but I refused to look into the hypnotic violet irises of his. I felt my face slowly heating up. "O-ok, I'm done aru!" I stammered as I repacked the first aid kit.
"But China. You have wounds as well." Russia surprised me by gripping my arm and pulling it towards him. He examined the small lacerations I hand on both of my forearms. He swiped a thumb over my forehead and smeared the blood that streamed down from the cut. "Here, let me do you."
"What?!" I overreacted as his choice of words startled me for a moment. He gave me a questioning look.
"You know, let me tend to your injuries as well." He said more clearly. I breathed a sigh of relief and mentally smacked myself for jumping to such conclusions. I decided to not protest in Russia's offer and let him clean and dress my cuts. I had to take my jacket off for it though. The whole time I refused to meet his eyes.
"I wonder where we are. Do you think there's civilization here? I'm pretty sure I'd recognize this place if I had a villa here aru." I wondered out loud. I tried to study the surrounding if anything looked familiar. It was like the time America and I washed up on an unfamiliar beach. Except that time, the other allies were on the same island.
Russia staggered to his feet. "Look at the bright side. We have a whole island to ourselves." He said as he spread his arms toward the surrounding forest. I looked at him incredulously.
"I don't see that as a good think aru." I mumbled. "Besides, either one of our countries will send out search parties for us. We should just sit here and wait for them." I said as I remained seated.
"Is that so? Ok, I'll wait with you." He sat right next to me as we faced the ocean. The sun was starting to set which made the sky a deep red and orange color. Seagulls flew over head and the wind blew gentle in no specific direction.
I don't know how long I was staring but when I looked over at Russia, he was lying on his coat fast asleep. That was weird; I don't think I noticed him move. I watched him for a moment and studied his smooth and relaxed features. I don't think I've ever seen him asleep before. He looked so vulnerable...almost even adorable.
I felt myself blush. I had to look away before I literally convinced myself that Russia looked cute. I have a weakness for cute things and I wouldn't be able to stop myself if I ended up smothering him with hugs and kisses.
I eventually decided to lay down as well with my back facing the Russian. I hadn't realized how tired I was until I fell into a really deep sleep.
I woke up several hours later. I knew this because the sky was pitch black. I groaned as I rolled over noticing the Russia's coat was draped over me. That's when I noticed something blazingly warm next to me. "Oh look, you are awake, da?" Russia was sitting on a large piece of drift wood with his hand over a fire.
"Russia? You built a fire aru?" I asked as I sat up.
"It was getting chilly was I grabbed some fire wood. We don't want you getting a cold now do we?" he smiled sweetly. I frowned at his optimism. How can he look so happy when we're stranded on a freaking uncharted island? I was going to say something as a rebuttal but suddenly my stomach groaned loudly. My face heated up. "Ufufu~ I knew you'd be hungry. I found banana's in the forest over there." He brought of a bushel of bananas and handed me one.
"I guess it will have to do aru." I said as I peeled it.
"I am really sad that I don't have vodka with me. We had so much on the plane too." The Russian fretted longingly.
"I think you had some in your coat pocket right?" I said with a mouth full of banana. Russia straightened with realization.
"How could I forget? Give it here!" I handed him his coat and he quickly when through the pocket and pulled out a flask. He opened it and poured the remains in his mouth. Russia was severely disappointed when there barely stream. "No more…" he pouted.
I was on my third banana as I watched him. "You know, if it wasn't so dark we could fish. But I think that will have to wait until tomorrow." I said. "I just really hope we get rescued. The sooner we get off this island the better."
"Yeah, I guess so. But for now I guess we're going to have to survive off the wild you know. It is kind of exciting in a way."
"Pft, if we don't starve to death..." I sighed as I lay back down and rested my hands behind my head. "But I've got to admit it's pretty quiet. It's kind of relaxing aru." I closed my eyes as I was ready for sleep. This whole ordeal has worn me out. I can't help but feel homesick right now. I don't want to stay here forever. Especially with Russia.
I opened one eye only to see Russia lying right next to me with his face close to mine. "Ayah! Don't do that aru!" I yelped and backed up. The younger was just smiling away because of my reaction. See, that was another reason I didn't want to be here with him. I want my kitty-chan aru! I thought as comical tears streamed down my face.
