America x Reader - Poison Apple Part 2

You were led to a beautiful glade filled with wild flowers. You were wearing a beautiful dress that the Queen gave to you so you looked presentable, just in case someone saw you out and about. You happily picked the wild flowers, hoping to give some to Alfred when he came to take you away to his castle. You noticed that the Huntsman was fidgeting and kept checking his pockets. He looked torn ... and guilt-ridden
I wonder what's bugging Mr Kirkland You thought, looking over your shoulder at him
"Hey, are you alright?" You asked
"N-no ..." He mumbled, approaching you
You became frightened when he took a knife out of his pocket ... but he threw it on the ground
"I can't do it ... Princess, I am sorry. But the Queen is highly jealous of you ... and she'll stop at nothing until you're dead! You have to run!" He said
"Wh-what about you? Won't you get executed?" You asked
"I'll think of something, just go!" He said
You obeyed, terrified. You knew he saved your life, but you were still horrified that the Queen had sent someone as sweet as him to kill you. The woods were dark, and frightening ... your mind began to play tricks on you as you ran through the woods, spurred on by fear. Branches of trees kept catching your dress, making you scream because you thought someone had grabbed you. Eventually, you came to a sweet little cottage ... and you calmed down
"What a curious little house. I wonder who lives here" You mumbled to yourself
You approached the house and knocked on the door. No answer. When you turned the handle, the door opened. You were surprised that a cute house like this was unlocked. Clearly, the residents lived somewhere where they wouldn't be disturbed. You looked around. There was a table with cute little chairs by it ... and you laughed
"These guys must be like ... children or something. Those chairs are so ... small" You said, smiling
You headed upstairs and looked at the beds. They were all small too ... and there were seven of them
"My, my ... their mother must have had her hands full" You said, scratching your head
You yawned loudly. Looking at the beds made you realise how tired you were
"Maybe ... if I rest here just a minute ... they won't mind ..." You mumbled

-Meanwhile-

"Tino, hurry up!"
A small blonde haired Finnish chibi rushed up to his friends, who were also chibis
"Sorry ... locking up is a pain" he said
"Yeh cannae take the piss like that ..." the Scottish chibi said
"Sorry Iain ..." Tino mumbled
"You should be quicker next time ... right brother dear?" the Norwegian said
"Stop calling me that" the Icelandic said
"Emil, Lukas ... cut that out ..." the Swedish one said
"Stop calling me that, I hate it!" Emil objected
"Relax, brother dear ..." Lukas said in a monotone voice
"You've just made their fighting worse, Berwald" Tino said
"Hey, it's not his fault they argue" The youngest said
"Stay out of this, Peter" Iain said
"We should get home, I'm starved!" the Dane said
"But Mathias-"
"ONWARD! To home we go!" He said, ignoring them
He walked off and the others sighed
"Mathias, our house is in the other direction" Berwald said
Mathias came back, blushing
"I knew that ..." He grumbled
They all walked through the forest, back to their cosy little house
"Hey, the lights are on!" Tino said
"Aye, very peculiar" Iain said
"Do you suppose someone broke in?" Peter asked
"How should I know?"
"Brother dear ... why don't you check it out ..."
"Yeah, Emil! You go check it out!"
"No way, and stop calling me that. I told you ... call me Ice"
"The King commands you to take a look~!"
"Fine, but if I die think only this of me - I'll be back to get you" Ice growled
