Alexei's POV:
Under order of Vladimir Lenin, we are to execute all being kept prisoners at the Impativ House...
What...
Guns. Smoke. Screams...
"Alexei! Alexis! Baby, wake up!"
Blood. Pain...
Papa was calling me, someone was shaking me. Mama was crying.
The dark smokey room was fading away. But the screams and pain weren't.
"Doctor! Help him, help my son!"
The screams, I realized were mine.
"We are doing all that we can, your majesty."
And the pain also was mine. It was intense pain.
I opened my eyes. And did as much as I could to stop the screams, which were still escaping my hyperventilating body.
"Thank god. Alyosha, can you hear me?"
"Oh, Niki! Is he responding? Dear God, don't take him away from us!"
"Mama," ouch, it hurt to speak.
"Sunbeam, I'm right here darling"
I tried to sit up. Nope, nope, going back down. The entire right side of my body hurt.
"I think he is in too much pain to stay conscious right now, I'm going to increase the amount of medication being put into his blood stream through putting an IV in his artery in the left arm."
Sleep was taking over again
"Oh, don't hurt him!"
"He will be hurt more if he is kept awake, Alicky."
I closed my eyes, and let myself sink back into the warm waters of sleep.
