Chapter 1



“I'm innocent!”


Those were the last two words you screamed before you were dragged out of the life you knew.

“Turn to the left.” You were ordered by the woman clothed in a neat uniform.

You held up the plaque with your number on and turned to the side like she told you too. There was no point in kicking up a fuss any more. The court didn't believe you, and you knew no-one else would from here on out. After you were convicted of a murder you most certainly did not do, you were generously given a life sentence in prison, and the very thought terrified you. You would be tossed behind bars with burly women who would probably break you in a matter of seconds. Instead of kicking and screaming, you understood that you now needed to make yourself look rough and tough and you needed to make sure every girl in every cell knew that you weren't going to be walked all over.

“Here's your uniform, scum.” The female police officer spat onto your shoe as she shoved the grey jumpsuit into your grasp. You decided not to look at her and got changed into your new outfit.

As you continued to walk down the corridor, you wondered what your new life as an inmate would be like. You weren't the only new girl being tossed behind bars that night, so it was nice to feel like you weren't alone, but prison wasn't exactly welcoming to 'newbies'. As you and the other new girls walked along to your assigned cells, the prisoners slunk to the front bars of their cages and whistled and heckled at you.

It was hard to pretend like you didn't notice them, but you kept your eyes fixed straight forward and focused on the back of the officer in front of you. This officer wasn't like the rest you had encountered that day. For one, he was male and secondly he was very quiet, even when he was ordered to do something by another officer. You had to wonder what a male guard was even doing in a prison full of women, since the male guards had been reduced dramatically in number after startling reports of rape and abuse from the officers inflicted onto the female prisoners were brought to public eye.

You shook your head to yourself and the man in front of you led you to your cell. The automatic gate opened with a jitter and you looked up at the tall blonde beside you. “Can I go in?” You muttered and he glanced down at you. His sharp sapphire eyes pierced your very soul and he looked as though he was going to slit your throat for speaking without being spoken to.

He nodded his head.

A sigh of relief seeped from your lips as sweat dripped down the back of your head. Despite his mean look, he didn't lay a finger on you and just simply answered your question. You softly marched into your cell and the guard locked you away. Your hands wrapped themselves around the metal bars, and it was the first time it really hit you that you were in jail. It was the cold touch of the cage that really made it all sink in and your eyes began to tear up. The blonde guard noticed this but remained silent.

“Um, Sir? I-is it always this cold and lonely in here?” You mumbled and you could swear that you saw the guard’s expression soften; just a little bit.

“Don't ask questions unless you're spoken to!” A female officer pulled out her truncheon and whacked your fingers as hard as she could.

The pain quickly made you recoil and you yelped. A couple of your new neighbours laughed at your misery. Tears began to leak from your eyes but you were quick to mop them up, scared that if you showed any sign of weakness that the other girls would eat you for breakfast. The officers left and the lights were shut out, but the remaining sunlight in the sky shined through your high and narrow window, and slightly illuminated your new home. You used the light to study the red marks on your fingers that throbbed from the hit. Why did you have to be punished for a crime you never committed?

Hello dear watchers and perhaps new readers. It's been a long time since I updated, and now I have updated, it's something that no-one was expecting, I'm sure. Don't worry, things like Hetalia Heaven [link] and others that I have promised will be continued, will indeed BE CONTINUED. For now, while university has a tight grip on my life, I will be doing things that I WANT to do when I want to do them. This is a little project of mine that I will enjoy writing, and will hopefully be updated once a week if I can keep to the demand.

Plot
This takes place in an Alternative Universe but is still Hetalia. You are thrown in prison for a murder you swear you did not commit. Unable to prove your innocence, you are forced to serve the time and you quickly learn that prison is anything but welcoming. During your time in prison, you make friends, enemies and begin to fall for one of the few male prison officers of the prison. What will happen throughout this? Will you try to break free? Prove your innocence? Hold on and try to get back your life if you are ever released from prison? You'll have to read on to find out.

Anything you should bear in mind while reading?
The idea was inspired by Shawshank redemption, but the plot does not follow the movie in any way, shape or form. I just liked the idea of a character who was entirely innocent been thrown in that kind of world and suffering the hardships.
The countries Human names will be used throughout this fanfic.
I have never been in prison, but I have tried my best to research what kind of things happen in prisons and what kind of routine they follow. It won't be perfect, but should be satisfactory.
Some prisons do indeed have officers rape the inmates, not all prisons, just a few. I decided that this is one of the prisons that this unfortunately happened in, but it has been stamped out, so there will be no rape in this fanfic, but I can not promise there won't be some risky scenes where it is suggested or implied. I will try not to involve it, not as a main plot anyway.

I hope you enjoy this anyway!
