Chapter 6

Nicholas was still upset about his plan not working out. Nicholas was still trying to figure out another plan. Nicholas had not thought of a plan to get Anastasia to marry him. Julia came to visit him.

"Your father still hasn't said where Anastasia is?" - Nicholas asked Julia.

"No, but I still think she might be with that ugly deformed man. I do remember the deformed man's house being in the wood." - Julia said.

"Well, that going to help a lot. I need more than that. We can be searching for the house for days. I need to know the exact location. The wood was not giving the exact location. The woods were big." - Nicholas told Julia.

"Do you remembered how far in the wood?" - Nicholas asked Julia.

"I do not remember." - Julia said.

"Do you remembered anything?" - Nicholas asked Julia.

"I do know the house was a castle and it was far in the woods." - Julia told Nicholas.

"I guess we were going to have to look for this castle even if it takes days." - Nicholas replied.

Anastasia was cooking dinner because she gave the Wilsons some time off. Anastasia cooks dinner all the time at home for her family. She was hoping that one of her sisters was taking care of their dad. Anastasia told the Wilsons they could join them for dinner. Prince Alex enjoys the meal Anastasia makes. Anastasia wanted to have a garden of her own. Anastasia asked Prince Alex if she could have her garden. Prince Alex said she could. Anastasia starts planting roses. Roses were Anastasia's favorite flower. Anastasia has a rose garden at home. Anastasia's rose garden was the talk of the town. The townspeople say that Anastasia has a green thumb. The Wilsons enjoy having Anastasia helping them with the garden.

Nicholas went to talk to his friend Sam about helping him find the Castle that Julia believes Anastasia was at.

"You mean that Anastasia rather was with a deformed man than you?" - Sam asked.

"WILL YOU BE QUIET SAM? We do not know if she was with another man." - Nicholas said.

"We were going to look for this castle and bring Anastasia home so she can marry me." - Nicholas said.

"How long do you think it will take us to find this castle?" - Sam asked Nicholas.

"I do not know, but I hope it does not take us too long." - Nicholas answers.

The next day Anastasia was surprised to see her roses already grown.

"The garden has been growing fast ever since we were cursed." - Mrs. Wilson told Anastasia. Anastasia picks some roses from her garden. She waters the rest of the roses and went inside to help Mrs. Wilson with the cooking. Prince Alex was still busy. Anastasia went to watch TV and read her book. Anastasia could not believe she could grow a rose garden during the wintertime the roses were really beautiful.

"Have the roses always grow during the winter?" - Anastasia asked Mrs. Wilson.

"No, when the fairy puts the curse on us it affects the gardens." - Mrs. Wilson replied.

Nicholas went to get a map and also try to learn about wood's history. Nicholas wanted to know if there was a castle. Nicholas went to talk to his father Larry.

"Hi, Dad, do you know anything about a castle in the woods?" - Nicholas asked his father.

"Yes, I do but no one ever been to the castle or know where it is. I just know the castle from what I heard from stories. People believe that castle was a curse and people were scared to go to the castle. I believe the castle was just a story and I do not believe was real." - Larry told his son Nicholas.

"Why do you about the castle?" - Larry asked Nicholas.

"Julia told me that she believe Anastasia might be staying in a castle." - Nicholas told his dad.

"Son, were you going to listening to Julia?" - Larry asked.

"Do not let Julia lead to a wild goose chase." - Larry told Nicholas.

"Dad, I know what I am doing. You just have to trust me. I want Anastasia to be my wife." - Nicholas told his Dad.

"Ok, don't let me stop you." - Larry replied.

Anastasia helps the Wilsons clean the castle. She also plays checkers with Jack. Prince Alex finally was able to join Anastasia in watching a movie. Prince Alex told Anastasia that he had some rings that make people invisible when putting them on.

"Anastasia if you want to go see a theatre play we can?" - Prince Alex asked.

"Yes, I would love to go Alex.

"When?" - Anastasia asked.

"They're having a play on Hamlet Monday. We can go Monday night." - Prince Alex replied.

Anastasia was happy that she will be able to go out. Prince Alex allows Anastasia to order a dress for the play because she did not many clothes to wear.
