Third Person POV

From [Y/N]'s journal

August 22nd, 1925

Oh, my God! It's tomorrow.. I'm getting a little nervous, but the tsarina said it's normal before weeding... I've dreamed about it my whole life...! I don't have any doubts when it comes to marrying Alexei, but I'm a little scared... Will I be a good wife?

She closed the journal and put it into drawer. Anastasia bursted into the room. " Are you ready?"
" Um... For what...?[Y/N] was confused.
" Your Bachelorette party, of course!"
" This early?"
" And why not? There won't be any alcohol anyway, since Mashka is pregnant."
" It's not about alcohol...I have wedding dress fitting for 30 minutes..."
" Even better! We will help!" She grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room.

Future brothers-in-law and Anastasia's boyfriend decided to take a walk in the park, because quoting the tsarina "They would be distraction and there's a lot to do "

" So... Dimitri~ When are you going to get down on one knee ~? Siergiey smirked.
" I...I didn't think about it, yet..." Dimitri admited.
" Then, you should start... Because from tomorrow on, you'll be the only one unmarried here.. " [Y/N]'s brother pointed out. Then, turned to Alexei. " And you, take care of my sister. You are one heck of a lucky guy to have her. Don't waste that, or you'll also waste my respect, too."
" I'm completely aware of EVERYTHING you say. And don't worry, I'd must be mad to ever say one bad word about your  sister."
" You really love her, don't you?"
" More than I can tell..." Alexei admitted and Siergiey shook his head smiling sadly." You guys are going to laugh... But I might cry at this wedding..."
" Are you kidding?" Dimitri snickered.
" No! I mean, it's my little sister! I've been taking care of [Y/N] and Yana for as long as I can remember and now she's getting taken away by some guy..." He literally teared up.
" Wow, thanks a lot..." Alexei mumbled.

Suddenly, dark clouds began to appear in the sky. It wasn't natural...
" A storm? All of sudden?"Siergiey was confused, Dimitri on the other hand could've sworn he saw some strange ghost looking things. And he saw those before... But when...? Oh, yes! That's it! During the journey to Paris ! Wait! Just before the train crash AND when Nastya almost jumped off the ship!  Conclusion : Those things mean nothing but TROUBLE. Big trouble...
" Guys, we gotta get out of here!"
"What? Why?" [Y/N]'s brother geniuelly didn't know what was happening. Neither did Alexei.
" See those green creatures over there?!" His hand was shaking as he pointed in the direction. " Those mean trouble!"
" That means WE HAVE TROUBLE, because they're flying in our direction!" Alexei shouted in alarm.
" Wait, what?!
" Oh, shit!" Before they could run away, bunch of the ghost like skinny bats surrounded all free of them.
" What in the world...?!"Alexei covered his ears, as the creatures let out strange ear-piercing squeal. He also heard two of his friends screaming. Suddenly, his head began to hurt terribly and his vision blurred and then everything turned black...

He woke up on cold, hard and wet ground. " Wh-what...? He slowly sat up." Where....? Where am I...?!
" Underworld~" A voice said. A voice that was all too familiar....
" Rasputin ?!" Alexei was shocked and terrified.
" Rasputin!" The man mocked." I haven't seen you in quite a while, boy~ How are you holding up?"
" Could have been better..." The young man said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
" And your hemophilia?"
" Still there."
" And yet... You've had wonderful life. With your parents, sisters, girlfriend~
" Fianceè." He corrected and glared at the man. " What exactly do you want from me?!" Rasputin ignored him. " Such a pity, that it will end soon...
" What?!"
" You know what? I'll let someone else to explain it to you... Gleb, come here!" Soon, the called man approched them. " I suppose you know Gleb Vaganov..."
" You mean that filthy liar?" Alexei glared at him. Gleb looked at him with smirk. " I really advice you not to piss me off. You see, I know how to hit someone and with your illness... It could have very bad consequences."
" You really sunk low. First you lie, now you're threatening me?"
" I would have kill you here and now. But I need you alive for few more minutes..."
" What do you want to do?!"
" Mr. Gregory wants to get revenge or you and your precious family, comrade Stalin wants to come back to Russia and rule."
" You'll never get a chance! My father won't let it happen!"
" We'll kill him~" Gleb said quietly with a smile. " And your mother and sisters as well~"
" You know what? I think it's the metter between you both, guys so I'll leave you to it..." Rasputin chained in and went away.
Once they were alone, Alexei asked:
" So that's what you want? Murder us all?" Gleb chuckled. "Oh, no, It's what THEY want. What I want, is to marry [Y/N].
" Ha! After all you've done?! She won't even look at you!
" Well, unfortunately, you're right... Somehow you managed to completely fool her...
" It's called love! Something you have no idea about!"
" Oh, boo-hoo! I'm so touched ~"  Gleb laughed mockingly. " But she would really do anything for you, wouldn't she?" He smirked. " Especially your last will ~"
" What are you talking about?!" Alexei screamed, confused. Instead of answering, Vaganov pulled out a knife from his jacket." Hold still then maybe the cut won't kill you..."
" What the hell are you doing?!" Before Alexei could react, Gleb grabbed his wrist with one hand and the knife with another and cut the skin on the inside of his palm. " AGH! What the hell?!" The tsarevich glared at him. Gleb smiled. " I just need a little bit of your blood and~" He unexpectedly pulled out the handkerchief that Alexei was still keeping on his pocket. Gleb pressed it onto Alexei's hand. " Here's the proof.
" What proof?!" The wounded young man asked, wincing slightly, as the blood still kept flowing out of the cut.
" Of your death, of course ~ " Vaganov explained. " [Y/N] would never agree to be with me... She's so hopelessly, stupidly devoted to you! It's annoying, really! " He cleared his throat."Well, anyway.... " If your last will would be her marrying me~ She would do it..."
"[Y/N] will never believe in those lies!"
"  Oh? And how could she not? Unless someone tells her the truth, right? Oh, wait! No one will! Besides, you'll probably bleed out anyway now~" Unfortunately, the bleeding continued and Alexei felt slightly weaker, still he managed to glare at Gleb. " You won't get away with this!"
