Above:Maria Nikolaevna Romanova At Livadia,Crimea

It was me.I was the one who escaped.I bet if anyone was still alive they would have been surprise. I was the middle child,The fat little bow-wow that was always overshadowed.But it was me. I played dead until they opened the door then i got up and ran a fast as i could. To my surprise no one came after me,And i will thank god for that until the day i die.I have no idea where i am now or if they will come and seek me out.I just know that i have to get to Crimea or England but they didn't help us the last time.Why would they help me? Crimea it is. Now i just have to figure out how to get there,I have no map and no sense of direction. I guess i will have to ask someone or find a train station.First i need to disguise myself,Since i am the least recognizable of the Romanov girls and i have money i guess i can go into a shop.But is it worth the gamble? I decide it is,so i muddy my face and clothes and walk in,My heart is beating a million miles an hour. I slowly walk up to the counter."May i help you?" The saleswoman says with a sneer. "I would like to buy some trousers and a shirt" i say."Payment?"I was prepared for this i had a jewel off my corset."Will this suffice?" O-O-OF course it will" She gives me my items and i almost run out of the shop about ready to have a heart attack. I have never bee that brave in my life Usually Tatiana ran everything Olga helped her and Nastasia distracted.I have almost never done anything worth remembering,But that i will remember for the rest pf my life.However long it shall be.I quickly change into the clothes that i bought and instantly felt less tense.Now just to find the nearest train station,So i can get to Crimea so i can be safe,I will be safe there. I reassure myself. Suddenly i burst into tears thinking of all the happy times i had with my family in the Crimea and for the first time i realize that i am totally alone,With no one. Finally i am able to control myself. "You must get to Crimea Mashka,Grand mama is there and she will always protect you." I say aloud to myself Somehow i manage to get to a train station. You know what you have to do Mashka,As soon as the train starts jump onto an empty car you've got this. I try to reassure myself even though i'm not confident myself that i can do this. After a few minutes the train whistle blows and the train slowly starts chugging out of the station."Three" The train picks up a little speed "Two" the whistle blows again "One" i run and jump onto the empty boxcar i barely hoist myself into the car but i did. I lay down on the floor panting heavily and thinking happily that i'm on my way to Crimea,Where i will be safe.
