Russia would torture him, might even kill him, but Canada would be safe.
“Why do you say such horrible things? I think you will be needing much more teaching, Latvii.” The pressure on America's ribs vanished as Russia lashed out, kicking him in the side with each syllable, “Much, much, more teach-ing.”
Bent over double, America clutched at his stomach, cringing as the taste of blood filled his mouth. Still, a smile touched his lips for the briefest of moments as Russia gathered up the broken chains of his shackles and moved to drag him back down into the basement.
It had worked.
By the time Russia was done with him, Lithuania would have Canada with England, and England protected his own. Russia would be dead before he stole Canada away from England's protective grasp.
Almost wistfully, America wondered if ensuring their escape would be enough for him to be remembered fondly, rather than as the rapist he was. Maybe England would even shed a tear for him. Not that it mattered.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, America let his mask fall as his eyes fell shut.
He didn't have to be strong anymore.
With luck, Russia would kill him, and the new America would not remember what he had done.
**
Lithuania didn't dare run, not with Canada looking as though the slightest wind would scatter his body like dust, but as the door fell shut behind him, he moved as quickly as he could toward his car at the end of the driveway. It was a small thing, rather old as well, but it would get them far enough away that Lithuania could breath again.
“Al?” Canada stirred as Lithuania set him down in the passenger's seat, his eyes hooded and dark with pain.
“He's coming,” Lithuania whispered, not daring to believe otherwise. America was just giving them time, waiting for them to be ready before he came running out of the door. “He'll be here.”
But when the car was started, and Lithuania had his foot on the gas, there was still no sign of America.
Swearing, Lithuania turned the car off, only to freeze with his hand on the door. If Russia was strong enough to keep America from leaving, then what would he accomplish by storming back in on the hope that Russia was still confused enough to let him through? He could fight, it might simply be that America had been weakened by Russia's torture, but that would leave Canada helpless.
If Russia got his hands on Canada again, the young Nation would not survive-
“No matter what happens, you get Canada out of here.”
-and America would never forgive him.
Squeezing his eyes shut and choking down a sob, Lithuania turned the key. England was on his way, and if Estonia had been clear about what was happening, he would not be alone.
Russia would pay for what he had done, for the tatters of skin that clung to Lithuania's clothes, for the blood and semen on America's thighs and groin, for the horrible empty look in America's eyes.
Pressing down on the gas, Lithuania had to fight the urge to look back, though he could hardly see the road for the tear flowing unchecked down his cheeks.
Russia would pay, but it would not be at Lithuania's hands.

I just found this, and I must say I love your writing and I am very interested to see what happens next! I have a kink for torture and I think that it is ingeniously cruel to make America hurt his own brother. Also I am very curious what England will do. I liked the magic scene very much, very ominous!
I do have a small critique though. It seems a little inconsistent in the story about how strong America is. He was unable to break the chains earlier, when he was struggling his hardest, but then after going through all the trauma and with a dislocated shoulder he's able to break the chains and even corner Russia against the wall? That makes it seem strange that he felt he couldn't fight Russia before. If he is afraid of Russia trying to stop them, now that his hands aren't chained it seems like the best move would be to punch Russia or push Russia down the stairs to buy time, not talk to Russia. It also seems strange that he then goes weak again and Russia is able to drag him back down to the basement.

Did Russia almost have a lucid moment?
