With that out of the way, you tread through the snow to get to the path you used to get here. The GPS was really helpful and you were glad you had it.  You walked through the thick snow and looked into the deep forest. You walk and walked, and walked some more. You were getting close, and you started to recognize some stuff from around your home and town. You reach the town and walk on the cobbled path, happy to not be treading through thicc hecking snow anymore. It was starting to wear you down. You reached your house and opened the door with your key, that you somehow managed to not loose through that whole ordeal.

Your house seemed, so empty. You remembered how warm the others houses were, like Feli's and Lucas and the others house. So much warmth, coming from those they cared about, and you had no one.  You walk into the living room seeking refuge from your thoughts, only to be greeted with the letter that had come in the mail about your brother lying on the coffee table. You broke down. You lay in a sobbing heap on the floor, clutching the letter.

"WHY?! Why did he have to dieee???!" You sob.

You lie there for some time, crying your (e/c) eyes out. Eventually, you get up to use the restroom. You walk in and do your business, and then stare at yourself in the mirror. You shove your hands in your pockets and wince in pain.

"OW FU-" You yell.

You pull out a bloody hand and realize you still have the guys' knife and razor in your pocket. They probably don't care about the razor, it's a disposable one, but the knife looked kinda nice.

"Dang it!" You say out loud. "I should have remembered so I could give it back when I was there!"

You bandage your hand before putting your winter clothes back on. No way in heck were you going to go another day feeling bad about this situation, you already felt bad enough as it was. You would return the darn knife and then go home. You tread through the snow rather angrily. You don't know why you're so mad but you are.

You reach their house around mid-afternoon and curse yourself for bad timing. It would be dark soon and you still had to get home. You also forgot to charge the GP-

THE GPS ISN'T YOURS EITHER!!!!

"WHY AM I SUCH A THEIF OH MY GOSH" You scream out loud, throwing your hands up and flopping down on the snow-covered ground.

Now you had to return the GPS to Ludwig too! No way you would make it home in time. You'd get lost in the dark if you tried.

Ok, it's ok. You'd just return the knife right now, and rush over to Feli's house and stay there, he seemed fine with it, he's Italian.

You get up and turn towards to house to see Lucas standing in the doorway staring at you.

"How long were you there??" You cry.

"Long enough." He says one eyebrow raising. "What are you doing?"

"Returning this." You say, thrusting the knife out in front of you. Lucas jumps back and looks up at you. He relaxes after a sec.

"Don't swing knives around like that sheesh. You're just like Mattias." He says, mumbling the last part.

You ignore the comment and hand him the knife, handle first. he notices your bandaged hand.

"How'd that happen?" He questions.

"I'd rather not." You say embarrassed, and he nods, but you know he knows you cut yourself by accident like a dunce.

He thanks you and you tell him you have to rush off to Feli's place.

"Why." He asks bluntly.

This guy is so straightforward.

"To return Ludwig's GPS." You say.

"How will you get home?" He questions.

Darn.

You hadn't thought that far.

"I don't know, I'm planning on staying at Feli's house again tonight and I'll work it out in the morning." You shrug, not wanting to appear as if you had no plan at all.

He stares at you and shrugs after a while. "ok" He says.

You two part ways and he goes back inside, where you hear a very loud Mattias asking Lucas what he was doing talking to you and what you two talked about and stuff like that, they sounded like brothers, and even looked alike.

You shake yourself into focus and start running against the clock. You rush through the snow, heading for Feli's house, using the last of the GPS's battery. You get about three-fourths of the ways when you hear footsteps behind you. You spin around to see Ivan behind you. He was running at you at a scary pace and you lunge into a snow bank to avoid him.

He barely misses you and you poke your head up above the snow.

"Ivan you almost plowed me down!" You cry out as he turns around.

"Sorry, I was just excited to see you!" He says in a creepy happy voice. His facial expression doesn't help.

"Why...?" You question carefully.

"Because I want you to become one with me!" He says. (he thinks you are a new country)

Heck no.

Perv alert.

You get up and sprint.

"Come back!!!" He yells.

"HECK NO MAN I AINT GETTING SEXUALLY HARRASSED TODAY OR ANYDAY NO NO NOPE!" You screech.

He stops.

"That's not what I meant!!" He says blushing. "I mean join my territory!"

"Tf are you talking about?" You say, stopping and turning around.

He tries to explain but you just get more weirded out and end up sprinting to Feli's house and banging on the door. Feli opens it up.

"Oh hi (Y/-" He starts but you push inside and close the door and latch it behind you.

Feli looks at you weird and you only have to say one word.

"Ivan." You whisper.

Feli screams and runs off screaming for Ludwig.
