We 7 Forever

Chapter 12:Maria

Above: Maria And Her Sister Anastasia

The train is chugging along the Russian countryside,Which should look peaceful but it looks desolate and abandoned! Imagine Russia Abandoned and desolate! Papa and Mama always told us that our beautiful Russia is just that. Beautiful and prosperous with enough food for everyone. But the scene i see before me now is far from that. We are coming up on a field that was burned to the ground,The smoke is still coming up from the ground! I am terrified and disgusted all at the same time. Who would do such a thing? Surely the Bolsheviks need the farms and fields for their own well-being,As we pass the field i see a sickening sight. A dead cow. Just left there to rot away it is disgusting it is the worst thing that I've ever smelled in my life. Then a see a truly sickening sight that could make a grown man cry. A farmer and his wife,Dead in their field that i am sure they worked so hard to make a living off of. I cannot handle everything anymore i lean over the open train door and Vomit. I vomited like i never had before. Like my insides were going to come out of me whole. Eventually i stopped but i still felt queasy and it didn't help my nerves when somehow over the chug of the train,I heard footsteps coming. My blood ran cold with the thought of someone finding me. I would be a criminal and then the Bolsheviks would find me and they would kill me. There's nowhere to hide it's over. I think to myself i think to myself while i lay down for my last few minutes of freedom. Then the usher came in and of course he saw me. "Miss?" He asked kindly. "Please don't hurt me" I said scared out of my wits. "Why would i hurt you?"His eyes looked kind so i decided he i could halfway trust him. "Come with me miss we're coming up to the next station soon and you do understand i have to let you off there?" I silently nodded. I knew he would not come with me. I somehow felt that he was a sort of guardian to me and i haven't even known him for half a minute! We soon got to the train station and the kind man handed me over to a mean looking steward. "Keep out of trouble now miss!" He said with a nice smile. "I will sir" I said with a melancholy tone. As soon as he went back inside the train the steward grabbed my arm. "Come with me girl' He said with a disgusting not in his voice "Never!" I yelled and somehow ripped my arm away from him. Then i started running like the night i escaped,But then i tripped and while i was laying on the ground i heard a man's voice behind me. "Maria Nikolaevna Is that You?"
