"papa, I'm wandering what would Anastasia look like now?" asked Maria giggling, suddenly Olga replied.

"we don't know if she is really alive"







"don't say that!"

"what? There's a possibility "then Olga frowned, she know in her heart that Anastasia is alive in Paris, but her mind thinks the other possibilities.

"girls, please stop fighting " Alix scolded.

"Hello, how may I- I" a woman answered then shocked and out of words when she saw Nicholas and Alexandra

"You-your majesties?"

"Um, I, yes we are"

"Can we come in?"

"Oh! Of course"

"What year is it?" Nicholas asked

"1926,sir. My name is Anfisa Yakovna Vasiliev"

"So it means, it's been 10 years"

"Sir, how-how did you live? You died ten years ago"

"I- I don't know too, I know we die because of a curse, a curse by-" he was cut off by a man who enter, it seems Anfisa's husband.

"Ni-ni, Tsar Nikolai?"

"Ilya, they lived. They have risen"

"Oh, your majesties"

"No need to be too formal" he chuckled

"How?"

"Don't know too" alix replied

"As I was saying, we have been curse by Grigori Rasputin" his eyes turned to fury

Then Ilya spat at the word Grigori Rasputin, "that evil man"

"Evil indeed. I just did what is right"

"Oh, Ilya, should we tell them the whole, you know" Anfisa whispered

"How's Russia?" Alexei quickly asked

"Sir, Russia is now in communists rule. Many people suffer. Some of it...regret that you were dead. They wanted you back"

"I see"

"Sir, there was rumors, rumors that your youngest daugther, Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna survived"

"Where is she then?" asked olga

"There was a fellow name Dimitri, and his partner Vladimir. They are the one who bring Anastasia to Paris, to the Dowager empress Maria"

"Vladimir Vasilovich" Nikolai remembered him, he was a member of the imperial court

"We need to go to paris" said Alexei, determined to be with her sister

"Sir, you will need Exit Visa, and the color of it, is now red"

"Don't worry, I always have money for it" Nikolai said, then all of them were shocked, "money?" Asked alix

"I always hide a case, a case that have 5 million rubles" he smiled

"Where?"

"In a secret passageway in the Catherine's"

"Oh"

"its impossible to find it because everyone will think its just a wall"

"Then let's go!" Exclaim Alexei

"Its dark now, we need to rest and find clothing to hide ourselves"

"Don't worry sir, you can stay here for the night, and we will provide clothing for you" said Annafisa

"Thank you"

The family slept in a room, it was small, but they slept well

The next morning, the couple prepared breakfast. It was the first meal that the family ate, after 10 years of death

"Thank you for all you've done" said maria

"Its okay, here are the clothes"

---------------------Catherine's Palace--------------------

"Ahhhh, look at it" said Tatiana looking at the palace's door

"Come on, let's go, if you want to see Nastya" Alexei then entered and run

"Alexei be careful, you have hemophilia, remember?" Alix warned her son, afraid of Alexei bleed heavily

"Papa, where is the wall you say?"

"Mmm, right there! The symbol" as he saw the Coat of arms of Imperial Russia

"How are we going to open it?"

"By simply kicking the symbol"

Then the wall opened, the family were amazed of what they saw. Then Nikolai found of what he is looking for.

"Now, we are going to paris"

As they walked through the streets of St Petersburg, they saw a morning paper, the headline was Anastasia

"Papa, mama look!" Exclaim Tatiana

"Its Anastasia" he said

Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, said to claim the throne of Russia. Communists are against it

"Stupid Bolsheviks" said Alexei, then Alix quickly said: "Alexei, they might hear you!"

"Um, good sir, do you know where to buy exit visas?" Nikolai asked, hoping the man would not recognize them

"Oh in the ticket station"

"Thank you"

When Nikolai finally bought the exit visas, he quickly bought tickets then went to the train.

"Wow, the exit visas change. From blue to red ink" alexei said

"Papa, finding anastasia would like finding a needle in a haystack" said olga, then alix agreed.

"Don't worry, anastasia is famous, I'm sure the people in paris know where she lives"

"I agree" said Alexei and Maria. Alexei and Maria and Anastasia were the most closest in the family, they share a lot. They are determined to see Anastasia

The train ride was splendid, alexei was awed by the surroundings of Germany. Then Alix quickly remembered her life in Germany

"What could had happen to Germany for 10 years? "

The family just smiled

Author's note

Okay, um guys, so the movie version is different from the real one. We could not tell if Nicholas abdicated in the movie, so I decided that they are still in royalty.
