Above: Maria With A Tennis Raquet And Camera Date Unknown
My head felt like it was going to explode and my brain was ten sizes to big for my skull. My eyes fluttered open and wherever i was it was bright. It felt like i was looking directly at the sun. My eyes slowly adjusted to the light and i saw the person who was calling my name. "Dr. Botkin?" I whispered my throat felt as dry as the desert. "How do you feel Maria." He said while flashing a light in my eyes. What was going on? He had been arrested he wasn't supposed to be here. "What-" It was all i managed to get out before my head was overcome with a wracking pain. I Groaned and tried to lay on my side to help some of the pain. "Maria we are safe please listen to me." I could hear the hurt in his voice that i wasn't cooperating. I just wanted to sleep and have all my pain taken away. All the adrenaline from trying to survive was gone out of my body. I just wanted all my pain to melt away i didn't care if i was alive or dead or somewhere in the middle i just wanted the pain to be gone. I heard bustling from coming from outside the thin walls of wherever we were. "Where are we?" I managed to whisper before the nausea overtook me again. "That does not matter right now. You fell and hit your head horribly." A dream. That's all it was a horrible nightmare of things that weren't real. I drifted in and out of sleep for what seemed like eternity until one day dr Botkin was bustling around our little sanctuary muttering to himself. I could see that he was holding a piece of paper in his hand but it was to far away for me too read. "What is the matter?" I ask softly propping myself up on my pillows. I didn't want to move i wanted to stay here in our little sanctuary forever. "We must leave at once!" I didnt want to leave this place even if it was dank and dirty it was safe. And that's all that mattered. "No! I think we should stay here." I said with my voice raised. I had hardly ever raised my voice before. Before I was the pushover but not anymore,Now I am a survivor. "Maria read this please!" And he hands me the piece of paper dear Dr. Botkin I do not know whether you will get this letter or even hear of it but I have heard you are traveling with one of my granddaughters I hope to God it's true and not just rumors. Please know you will have safe haven in my home as soon as you arrive. Sincerely, The dowager empress MFR.
