True Love But False Hate

Chapter 6 The Grand Duchess of Russia

The ringtone of my phone woke me up the next morning signaling to me that someone was calling. Lazily I looked at the screen to see that it was Eleanor.

Me-"Hello?"

Eleanor-"Hey baby girl it's your best sister Eleanor here I was calling to see how you were doing Simon told us what happened yesterday."

Me-"He did how great."

Eleanor-" Alex do you have feelings for Niall?"

Me-"No El I don't and I never will." I sighed.

Eleanor-"You can't say that I men you kissed him like a day ago."

Me-"So that was an accident maybe he should have given me personal space!" I said already raising my voice at her.

Eleanor-"Alex just admit you love him and then we don't have to have this conversation anymore."

Me-"Eleanor I have to go." I said already getting tired of this conversation.

Eleanor-"Fine but before you hang up we as in your beloved family are coming to see you next month so get ready bye."

What! Why! They can't come I don't need them telling me that I have feelings for Niall and that what I think is wrong. Wanting to get my mind off of Niall and my family I toke out a note book, sat on my bed and tried to think of lyrics for a song to sing. 30 minutes later I was able to finished a song and called it "Him" the downside of it was that the entire time I was thinking of Niall. Then something shocking happened. I heard voice and I know what your thinking I'm probably off my rockers believe me I thought that to at first. The first time it was as if the person or thing read my mind it said "Maybe you like Niall more than you think Alex." I stood up and instantly looked around the room but saw nothing. The second time the voice said " Don't be scared I won't hurt you." This time I could hair a thick Russian accent suddenly at the corner of my eye I saw something when I focused my vision on it I saw a faded women that looked like she was in her 20s. She faded like a ghost and was wearing a ball gown. She had curly,brown ,long hair and had flawless face features. She was about my height. I felt as if I had seen her before she looked so familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. The person walked towards me while I backed up and eventually she gave up trying to come close me.

The Person-" Relax Alex I'm not lying I promise I won't hurt." She said holding out her hand towards me all of a sudden I felt a stream of relaxation come over me and feeling confident I began to talk.

Me-"Who are you and how do you know my name?"

The Person-"you honestly don't remember me?" I shook my heard so the person continued"Well since you don't know who I am I'll tell you. I am the youngest daughter of Nicholas and Alexandra Romanov, the last Grand Duchess of Russia the Imperial Highness Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov."

Then everything clicked when I was little I would always read about her plus she was my ancestor but something didn't make sense.

Me-" If your Anastasia why are so much older and why are you still alive the real Anastasia died as a teenager from assassination." I said trying to sound smart.

The Person-"Hah that's what many people think but I know you Alex I know you know what I have to do with you maybe not a lot but at least you know some." She said.

She was right I always seemed to remember my parents telling me "Alex the Romanov's are part of your family you have their blood especially Anastasia's some day you'll have to face the truth whether you like it or not" even though she said that I really didn't believe her but now I have to.

Me-"Well while your here tell me what you want from me besides magic."

Anastasia-"I want your trust Alex your old enough to guide you through your life well at least until your strong enough to protect yourself."

Me-"why did you choose now do you just go around saying hey I'm gonna choose this one to "guide."

Anastasia-"I didn't choose now I've always been with you but I didn't think you would understand when you were younger." She responded.

Me-"Look I appreciate your concern for me but I want nothing to do with your magic and I defiantly don't need some guardian to watch over me okay."

Anastasia-"Alex you don't understa..."I'm pretty sure I understand!" I interrupted.

Anastasia then focused her attention on my hands.

Anastasia-"Alex try moving something in this room with out touching the object."

Me-"Anastasia what are you..."just try."She pleaded so I obeyed I looked at a pencil and for some reason I felt the urge to hold out my hand as if pulling it then it happened. A quick burst of fiery reddish orangish light flew out of my fingers straight toward the pencil and threw it up against the wall. I was astonished. I had know clue what I did but it all felt like part of my instinct.

Anastasia-"Now do you believe your family Alex you should after all that necklace of yours is on fire." When I did look at my necklace it truly was inflamed with fire but then eventually cooled off.

Me-"T-That can't be happening Niall he gave this to me for my birthday."

Anastasia-"So obviously he didn't tell you we'll let me be the first, Niall himself is magical just like you are and that necklace has been in his family for 17 centuries and was passed down to a family member that at least had magic."

Me-"It's part of his family why did he give it to me."

Anastasia-"Why don't you ask him yourself did you really think I would give you answers to all your problems."

Me-"Me not at all not even a lit...yeah I was hoping you would." I said a little embarrassed.

Anastasia-"Oh Alex." She chuckled"But seriously talk to Niall because you never know what could come your way and remember I will always be with you just call my name and by the way don't call me Anastasia call me Anna Anastasia makes me seem to honorable."

Just like that she faded away before I could ask what was coming my. I didn't want to talk to Niall I wasn't ready not after yesterday. I continued thinking about the necklace then I remembered I mentally faced palmed my self should've already known that Anna must've thought I was magical wanna be or something. My phone rang just as I was about to get ready for the day so I answered.

Jade: "Hey."

Me: "Hi JAde, call to talk about your boyfriend, or maybe talk about yesterday?" I say sarcasticly.

Jade: "Ok, lets get this straight, I don't talk about my hot, sexy, the guy who one my heart-

Me: "Your doing it again." I say in a monotone voice.

Jade. "Ugh, kiss my ass. But, the point is, your helping One Direction write another song. And as your manager, it is my job to make sure you be there on time."

Me: "I don't have a car. Can you pick me up?"

Jade: "It is also my duty that you get a car. How about we get you like a sports car?"

Me: "Er, fine fine. I'll be ready in like an hour."

Jade: "Last time I checked, I bossed you around. Get ready in ten, or I'm leaving you."

Me: Your not even-

Jade: "I'm outside, see you!" She says and hangs up, I look outside, yup, she is infact out side.
