Friday-No Ones POV

Well I suppose we're back to No Ones POV then. Oh yeah! No Ones POV means my, the authors, POV.  Ain't that fun! Well, I'll stop talking now and start writing about what's happening.
Ooo, mystery country time.

The mystery country walked through the metal halls. Their footsteps echoed, alerting any territory of their presence. They held onto a smaller territory. They seemed to be resisting but were no match for the tight grip in which the mystery country held them.
"Please, you're hurting my wrist." The smaller country squeaks.
The mystery country stops and turns around to them.
"Well I'm sorry, I didn't realise I had such a weakling in my presence." They say harshly and squeezed hardly onto the country wrist until stopping being satisfied with the painful look on the small territories face.
The small territory lets out a sigh as the country loosens their grip on their wrist and they continue walking.

They make it to the hallway with the rooms of all the territories.
"Anguilla!" The mystery country calls out.
Yep, that's right. Being the first territory to fall under this countries rule, Anguilla had given up trying. She became, I suppose you could say loyal, but it was more out of pure fear. She was also bribed with the fact of being able to walk freely around the hidden underground base.
Anguilla soon arrived with the thud of her shoes as she ran quickly to not annoy the country. Her flag was different. It wasn't a big change, the same kind of design. It still had her symbol with the three dolphins above water in a shield like shape but the background, instead of being the dark blue of the United Kingdom flag which represented Scotland, it was the red of the new country that was now owner of her territory. The mystery countries flag was also at the top left of the flag where the Union Jack used to be. But as you know, I can't describe that part. I wonder who you guys think it is...

"Yes?" She asked, out of breath from running.
"Show this territory to their room and explain the rules. I don't have time for weaklings and need to plan my next move." The country added on the last part purely for discouragement. He finds that Anguilla became weaker with the nasty remarks he gave her and breaking the little bit of hope she ever had of being a free nation or going back unto kinder rule.

Anguilla nodded her head and took the small territory from the mystery country. They then left, presumably going back to their office. Anguilla waited for the country to turn the corner and a couple more seconds before looking down at the small territory. They looked at her scaredly. She always hated having to look at the scared faces of the territories that were practically her family. She smiled sweetly at the country.
"Hey, I'm Anguilla, which I'm sure you already know by now. What's your name?"
The small territory seemed quite shocked at the soft voice and sweet smile that Anguilla bared.
"I-I'm Gibraltar." They replied shakily.
"Nice to meet you Gibraltar," Anguilla smiled again. "Now come and follow me, please."
Gibraltar nodded his head.
Anguilla held onto Gibraltar's hand, a lot more gently than the mystery country did on Gibraltar's wrist, as they walk to Gibraltar's room.

When they got to the correct door, Anguilla unlocked it. Because of showing her 'loyalty' to the mystery country, she got the special privilege of getting keys to all the territories door. Of course the mystery country still had their own set. Just in case.

When Anguilla fully opened the door Gibraltar looked very disappointed at the sight in front of him. One single bed, a fake window and some cards. Anguilla frowned and patted Gibraltar on the shoulder.
"I know it's not the best and... it will be hard to cope with but..." Anguilla struggled to get the words out as these rooms were one of the things that broke her into obedience. "But you're a lot stronger than me at least... tell me if you need anything, you just click this red button or buzzer here." Anguilla pointed to the red buzzer/button on the wall.
Gibraltar nodded, a sad look still present on his face. "Okay..." he sad quietly.
Anguilla then explained the rules to the small territory as he sat on the single bed and listened. Once finished with the rules Anguilla's expression became very sad. "I'm sorry but as rules go, I have to leave you in this room... with the door locked..." Anguilla hated this part but if she was to keep the little bit of freedom she had, she had no choice but to obey.
Gibraltar nodded. "It's okay, I understand... you're a good territory, Anguilla, and this situation isn't the best but we've certainly experienced it before." Gibraltar let out a small laugh. "That's what being a colony is about... being forced into obedience."
Anguilla stared wide eyed at Gibraltar's words. Gibraltar made no eye contact but as soon as he did he was pulled into a tight hug.
"That's exactly what it is and I'm so sorry I was weak but at least I get to help you all be strong..." Anguilla said with slight tears forming in her eyes.
Gibraltar hugged back and they stayed like that for a short while.
"I've got to go before I get in big trouble... I'll see you later." Anguilla said and with that she walked out the room and locked it behind her as she went to continue some of the chores she had been requested to do. Or more like ordered.
