-"I'm sorry, (Y/N)..."

-"I'm sorry, (Y/N)..."
.

.
.
.
-"I'm so-"
.
-"Please stop." You whispered in your sleep. That sentence... That damned sentence... It was playing continually in your head, even while being unconscious. The sentence with the scene as well. That day was one of the worst days of your life.
You grumbled slightly, you were starting to wake up, your body completely sore from the remaining pain and tiredness. Your eyes slowly opened, you breathed out and rubbed your eyelids as you sat up carefully. The first thing you see is an unfamiliar wooden ceiling, you blinked a few more times as your sight became more clear.
-"Where am I again..." You mumbled in slight annoyance, it was starting to be repetitive. You looked down at yourself, you saw you had been laid on what seemed some kind of mattress full of straw, and covered with a light and used blanket. You saw you were in some kind of small wooden barn. You sneezed as the smell of hay, straw and dust was in the air. Thank god it looked proper enough that you weren't laying on animal poop or something.
However, a feeling of cosiness was still enveloping you. It felt somewhat familiar to you, like if you were seeing an old friend. You breathed out, you felt yourself being calmed down. The sounds of footsteps and a shadow hovering over the wall was indicating that someone was coming.
You tensed a bit and sat back straight while looking at the barn's entrance in apprehension. Soon, a young man entered. At first glance he was unfamiliar and he seemed slightly surprised when he saw you were up.
-"Oh! I didn't expect you to be awakened so soon miss/Sir!" He spoke excitedly as he came closer to you. He looked about in his early twenties or something, and he had the Weimar Republic flag on his cheek, indicating to you that you were now in Germany.
-"Are you okay? You were injured and alone when I found you, a luck that it was me, and not someone else." He said, frowning a bit at the last part, he seemed really wary about the idea 'someone else' would have found you before him. Seeing you got a bit confused, he smiled reassuringly.
-"I'm just saying it's dangerous right now...the country isn't the safest place at this time..." He said, sighing a little. When he noticed he hasn't let you speak from the whole time he laughed slightly at himself.
-"Oh, I apologize miss/sir! I trailed off... again..." He chuckled, a small smile crept onto your lips as the young man looked very enthusiastic and nice.
-"It's fine... It's not like I had the motivation to speak anyway..." You chuckled at yourself as well, then looked at him a bit further.
-"So don't worry, Mr...?" You trailed off, he noticed how he didn't introduce himself and chuckled in embarrassment once again.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't even introduce myself, you must be a bit wary of a stranger walking to you!" He smiled, and held his hand out for you to shake.
-"Nice to meet you miss/sir! My name is Johann, very nice to meet you!" He said enthusiastically, you smiled as well and shook his hand.
-"Nice to meet you Johann, my name is (Y/N) (L/N)." You introduced yourself as well, he smiled gently.
-"Ah, yes... (Y/N), that's what I guessed." He said as he seemed lost in his thoughts, you looked at him in confusion.
-"I beg your pardon?" You said. Johann looked back at you in slight surprise from being called out from his mind.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I was speaking to myself!" He said, scratching his neck in embarrassment. He looked quite socially awkward and a bit clumsy. He looked somewhat familiar...but you couldn't really say where from. He stopped and looked at you with a tiny smile.
-"It's just...I've heard a lot of stories about you miss/sir (Y/N)! And when I found you passed out on the ground, I immediately recognised who you were!" Johann tried to explain, but you looked still confused. Stories about you? From who? And what were they saying? But, you couldn't ask him all those questions since he was looking at the time on his watch before quickly standing up and he looked suddenly excited.
-"Oh, it's almost time! Hannah is gonna come soon!" Johann exclaimed excitedly, the young adult just looked like a teenager in Love right now. He helped you stand before grinning at you. He seemed a bit embarrassed and looked at the ground.
-"Uhm...sorry but I gotta go, I have to prepare a few last things before some friends arrive...just wait here ok? It'll not be long!" He asked you nervously, and before you could say anything he was already gone, you could hear him run outside the barn, rushing to somewhere else, and another voice was heard yelling.
-"JOHANN, don't go running around like that!!" Another voice was heard from outside the barn, it was more masculine than Johann's and you furrowed your eyebrows as it was definitely familiar to you.
Anyway, you sighed then you dusted yourself off since you were now standing in the middle of the barn thanks to Johann, you looked around in curiosity. It was a simple wooden barn mixed with a workshop. The type of things you'll find in ancient photos or something...
-"Well, that is something..." You mumbled to yourself. Here you were, back being alone, in yet another time period. You noticed it has been a long time since you've spent time with regular people, not countryhumans. The last time must go back to the very beginning... just thinking about it was a bit nostalgic. You sighed, before you heard footsteps behind you.
-"I deeply apologize for Johann, this boy doesn't really think straight every time Hannah's name is mentioned. I don't think he was the best person for you to wake up to." The same familiar voice that yelled earlier spoke more calmly behind you. You turned around to see a man leaning on the door of the barn, he looked older than Johann also, maybe his father? You didn't know, the only thing you knew was that his voice and appearance were awfully familiar, and it was reminding you of...
-"Berthold?" You said quietly in shock, your eyes widening and your voice quivering. He blinked in surprise before smiling fondly.
-"Heh...yeah, it's me (Y/N). I'm glad you remember me..." Berthold said with a sad smile. You looked at him in shock. He hasn't changed one bit... Well, he looked older obviously but not as much as you'd think... The atmosphere was quite awkward, silence filling the place.
{...here we go again.. }

Third pov: (not Third Reich ಠಗಠ)
"JOHANN, don't go running around like that!!" Berthold's yell echoed through the entire garden as the young man was running like death was after him.
-"Sorry dad!!" Johann exclaimed in a breath, even if he knew nobody would hear (or understand) it because of his running. Johann ran the garden which separated the barn from the small wooden house and opened the front door violently when he arrived. He breathed out, as he was tired from running so fast for no reason.
-"Johann! I already told you to not clack the door!" A seemingly middle aged woman said while furrowing slightly her eyebrows at him. She was holding a broom and was apparently cleaning the house before he barged in.
"Ah, sorry mom... I got nervous they'd arrive already..." Johann apologized in embarrassment, he cleaned his shoes before entering. He could see how much time his mother took to clean the house. The fire of the oven was cracking and an appetizing smell was resting in the room.
"I told you that I will warn you when they arrive, plus, there's some time left. You don't have to be so nervous, lover boy." His mother rolled her eyes playfully, an amused smile on her lips. As she giggled at her son's shenanigans, Johann blushed in embarrassment as he knew she was teasing him.
-"Hey! Don't call me that! I don't love Hannah!" He exclaimed, red from his mother's teasing.
-"I never said it was her I meant." She replied, giggling at him while she started wiping the floor again. Johann sighed and crossed his arms.
-"Well, I don't think you'd mean her own mother" He said, frowning a bit, she giggled.
-"Alright, alright you're right. I'll stop. Can you call your father over? I don't know where he got off this time." She asked him and furrowed her eyebrows a little while she straightened her apron. Johann tilted his head in confusion.
-"Father is in the barn, i thought you'd know." He told her. His mother raised an eyebrow, and looked at him.
-"What is he doing in the barn? Our guest are about to arrive." She asked him in confusion. Johann sweatdropped. Oh, shoot. He thought she knew about the 'new guest' they had. Why didn't his father told her? Now he was the one who had to told her, and maybe being the one suffering her anger of something being hid to her... God have mercy on him...
-"Oh, uhm... Mother... I should tell you something..." Johann started nervously, chuckling and scratching his neck in embarrassment.
-"It's...kind of a long story..."

(again)
(Y/N) Pov:
-"I'm so glad you're alive!! I thought you were dead!" You exclaimed, grinning and wiping the dry tears on your cheeks. It was kinda a while since Berthold entered but you both had to take a moment to calm down (mostly you) and recover your feelings and thoughts from the shock.
-"Well I'm not, I was very lucky to get out of this hell alive..." Berthold said with a sad smile, you too frowned as you both silenced while thinking of Christoph. Berthold then smiled and put his arms on his sides.
-"Well, let's not waste time being sorrowful, the best we can right now is honour the fact that we're still alive and live our lives to the fullest! It's the least we can do." He exclaimed, trying to brighten up the mood. You smiled slightly too.
-"Yeah, you're right..." You said, looking at him happily. Berthold smiled back at you.
-"But what about you? It's been ages since we saw Each other, and it wasn't the best of times, what happened to you? You didn't change one bit!" He asked, looking at you curiously, your smile twitched as you thought of everything that happened since last time you saw each other... everything.
-"It's... A long story..." You just told him, putting a hand through your hair while you were slightly nervous and embarrassed. Last time you saw each other, it was when you were in a coma... Lots of things happened.. he hummed. He could understand by looking at you that even though you looked physically the same, he could clearly tell how your mental health took a massive hit.
"Alright... Let's not push it further then... But seriously, how are you back here? Didn't you need to sleep or something to get here? Do you have troubles again?" He asked in concern. It's true that last time, you didn't even know you were in a coma and were usually just appearing when you dreamed...how to tell him you in fact died so you can't get out of this universe now?
-"Uhm...not exactly... I just..." You trailed off, not really knowing what to do nor say... Berthold looked curious at what you were going to say when suddenly you both heard footsteps coming again and a feminine voice exclaimed angrily.
-"BERTHOLD! may you PLEASE tell me what is going-" Berthold paled at the angry voice like someone would in a cartoon. Your eyes widened slightly 'I recognise this voice!' you thought. The door opened suddenly and a woman was standing in the doorframe, looking at Berthold angrily but cut herself off when she saw you, her eyes widened. Silence installed itself. Berthold still looked frozen and just hoped to not be beat up, you on the other hand looked at the familiar woman in shock, she did the same. After a few seconds, the silence broke in an instant.
-"(Y/N)?!!"
-"CAROLINE?!!"

Here you go!! A little reunion for you guys!!
While writing the end, I just thought of the next scene as *intense girlish screaming* (even if (Y/N) was a boy)😂
Don't worry if you think their personalities changed a lot, it'll be all explained. So don't worry if they don't seem too serious or anything.
Also, the more I write the story the more I think of the characters with normal human features (despite the gray skin and flag on their cheek of course). So, I don't know what you guys think, anyway I plan to make a rewrite, not now but later to make another book without all the plot mistakes and everything in the first chapters.
I think it's all, see you guys in the next chapter and thank you so much for the 57k views and 85 followers, love you all!!!
