No this is bad

Chapter Eight

"Let me guess, you're going to try to sniff them out?" South asked as she recounted the group they have rounded together to try and find the other nations camps. "Well...kinda." North said, scratching the back of her head, she sighed as she felt her extreamly loose ponytail. She wrapped her fingers around the black band and tightened it. South also sighed as she turned around. "We are in war, North. You can't just sniff them out, and you wont." She explained as she checked her walkie talkie, making sure it had full battery. North made a face. clearly upset that South didn't trust her sense of smell. "Excuse you, but I smelled out England when he blinded me!" North hissed, her eyes narrowing. South stood up straight, as did North. They both went up to each other and stood chest to chest. "Don't underestimate me." North growled, South shoved her back, sneering as the pail nation fell to the ground. "Don't disobey me. We spy them out. Your nose doesn't mean anything." South spat, North looked up at her, then stood up, brushing off her clothes.
"Fine then! You go take your half of this group down south, and I take my part of the group up north." She declared as she waved her hand out, South crossed her arms. "Fine with me, let's go men." South shouted as she stormed off, the black uniformed members of the group went with her, which was most of the group. "Damn you, I said half." North hissed as she looked at the rest of the soldiers. "Come on men, don't just stand there let's get a move on!" North shouted as she began to quickly walk away. She looked up at the now darkened sky, sighing as she remembered the one night that both of them and Prussia had their last laughs together. I wonder if he's okay? North questioned as she sniffed the air. Nothing interesting.
As they continued up north, North stopped once she saw the castle. The lights were all out, but one. The castle used to be so lively, people used to come and go in there all the time. The walls always echoed with conversations and laughter. Now the stones looked so cold. She never noticed how dull and broken the castle looked until now. North felt her heart clench. She was so close to home, but so far. Whose hand is that? She looked at the black gloved hand that was reaching for the castle, only to realize it was her own. She grabbed her extended arm, forced it down, and looked ahead. "I apologize for the delay," North turned around and looked at her group.
They were staring at her with pity, some of them weren't even fazed. "Do you all have your communication devices?...Good. Now, split up. We have until dawn." North said as she then turned around, and ran off from the group. Not wanting to have someone with her. Having someone with her could cause distraction, delay, and more useless things. She kept on running farther into the north, the air quickly becoming icy cold, the grass becoming snow.
The freezing air entered Norths lungs, which soothed her nerve. She stopped running, skidding in the snow, leaving a two long lines behind her. Her boots were covered with snow, but luckily for her, they were rubber. North looked up at the pine trees, closing her eyes and taking small quick breathes. The air smelled of pine needles, spices of different sorts, and coal. She opened her eyes, staring into the covered night sky. She listened for any noise. Her hearing and sight weren't at all exceptional, but she had to try. The sound of a distant train horn, but other than that there was nothing. A sigh escaped her lips, followed by a puff of white vapor. A soft breeze made the needles release more of their wonderful scent. After enjoying the smell, North widened her eyes. "Stop it, you have a job to do." North muttered as she began to slowly walk around.
South rubbed her temples as she looked down the large mound her and her group were on. The land was so peaceful looking, no one was on the land but them. The lush fields was flushing with different crops, the skies were clear, showing the many stars in the sky. Her gaze went back to the ground, remembering how it looked during the summer. All of the horses working to get the crops up, the fresh smell of the crops being harvested. South felt a hand on her shoulder, and quickly snapped her head to the side. Her eyes locked contact with stern green eyes. "I understand." South said as he opened his mouth to speak, she looked around her land one last time before turning to her men. "Alright, split up men. You two come with me, everyone keep a sharp eye and listen closely. You don't want to get caught." South said as she began to slide down the hill, the men followed.
Once they reached the bottom, they all split up in small groups. Her feet crushed against the hardened upturned dirt, stopping every once and a while to listen and look around the perimeter. She didn't see any smoke in the air, nor did she see any flash of metal in the moonlight. She looked at her group, making the hand motion of "Follow me." She pointed to the woods, her group nodded in agreement. If there were any place the nations would camp out, it would be in the woods, but close to a farmland for resources. Think about this logically. Who are the only countries that would survive this heat. China, Japan, America, Italy, Germany, maybe England. She quickly dashed through the field, and into the small wooded area. There weren't many full wooded areas, there were more farmlands then anything.
They stopped in their tracks when a twig snapping was heard. South grabbed one of her guns and pointed it out, the metal glistening in the moonlight. "Put the gun down, Sir. It's just one of our men." A blonde female said, South looked at her, realizing that she had the green eyes she looked into earlier. South nodded as she put the gun down, still holding it in both of her hands and by her legs. Her brown eyes danced around, looking for every shadow that moved, making sure it wasn't one of their men before she would hold up the gun. South narrowed her eyes as she continued walking in the small patch of trees, her breathing was not as steady as it should have been.
"We found one, over." North grinned as she clicked the button on her device. "That's great, who's camp is it? Over." She asked, slightly cringing at how loud the static was.   "Ah, we don't know, over." The voice replayed back, North groaned, placing her hand in her face as she clicked the button again. "Alright, can you give a description of what the leader looks like? Over." North said sternly, but quietly, just in case she was in hearing range of another camp. "Um..both are blonde, one seems to be wearing glasses it seems. The other is polishing a sniper rifle. Over." He added the last word seconds later, as if he forgot to say it. North took a sharp breath. Finland and Sweden. "Anyone else there that seems to be in charge? Over." North said as she began walking again, her boots crunching in the snow. "No, no one else, over." The girl sighed as she asked one last question. "Where are you? Over." Silence, North kept on walking, slowly growing irritated, but worried the longer the silence went on.
She pulled out the device again. "Are you there, soldier? Over." More deafening silence. North swallowed as she stared at the device.
"Moi! I heard someone talking and hi there! North right? Moi! Oh, Over!" A cheerful voice rang, North stopped moving. She widened her eyes as her smile turned into a horrified grin. "Ah, do you mind telling me why your men are out here and not in their camp? Over." Finland sang, North covered her mouth. She didn't reply. "Moi? Are you there? If your not then we will find you and paint the snow with your blood! Isn't that right Sve?" Finland said, North didn't move. She knew that the other devices were set up together. They were all on the same channel, everyone could hear their conversation. There is no limit on how many people could be on one channel, you just had to be in range. "Everyone on the channel, can you hear me, say over, over." North said, her voice was shaking slightly. Many "Overs" were heard. "Oh! So that's how many of you there are! I'll just get my snip-" Finland was cut off by North, she shouted retreat.
South watched as China sharpened his sword. "This too much, I just want money." China complained, as he popped his back, then returned to sharpening his weapon. Japan nodded as he took a small drink form his canteen. "I agree, but we must fight." Japan replied, China made an annoyed sound. "Yeah right, you no need to fight." China looked at his sword in the moonlight, nodding at its sharpness, and plopped next to Japan. "This heat is insane." Japan nodded, he could feel the sweat running down his back but refused to do anything about it. South noticed the silence from her walkie talkie, she was grateful for it, but questioned why no noise came from it at all. She slowly reached in her pocket, talking out the metal device. She darted her eyes down, and noticed something very idiotic.
She never turned it on. She let out a soft sigh as she glanced back at the two Asian countries, they were engaged in a conversation. South slithered away from her hiding spot, out of their hearing range, and turned it on at the lowest volume. "Sir! Do you copy! Over!?" A voice hissed, South clicked the button quickly. "Yes, I copy over." She replied. "North has retreated back to camp, one of her men found one camp but was killed in the process." He said, South sighed. There was no reason to just leave a mission just because someone died. "Why did she leave again? Over." South said, still speaking softly, just in case they could still hear her. "The leader grabbed the walkie talkie and began speaking to her, over." South groaned, a little too loudly, as she face planted the ground.
Is North really that stupid? It's not like who ever she found knew where she was at. Though...it could have been an easy find if they did stay longer. South had a mental argument, trying to question on if they should return as well, or not.  She finally decided to just go. She already found China and Japans camp, from there they could find others as well. Maybe North will stop being such a hissy prissy idiot when she returns to camp. South thought as she stood up, placing her device in her pocket once more. Her group has to return anyways, one of her men sprained his ankle, so they had to assist him back. She was just about to start walking away, when she heard a loud greeting in Chinese.
