Hey guys I'm back and I have a new story for you all. It is RusCan fic but to the plot Anastasia. Don't ask why, it's because I felt like it XD. So here we go! And if you don't like Evil!Prussia then you may want to turn around. I couldn't think of anyone else and I also like the thought of Gilbird being Bartok. Also I know that two men can't be like king and queen and all that, much less have kids but use your imagination, but I wanted Arthur and Francis to be them and I didn't want to gender bend them so except it.
Disclaimer: I do not own either Hetalia or Anastasia. Oh and I do quote the movie a lot so yeah, I don't own that either.
Enjoy!

"There was a time, not very long ago, when we lived in an enchanted world of elegant palaces and grand parties. The year was 1916, and my husband, Arthur, was the Czar of Imperial Russia."
*A scene shows an extravagant party, everyone dancing and laughing.*
"Hello Arthur!" Francis waved to his husband.
"We were celebrating the 300th anniversary of our family's rule, and that night no star burned brighter than that of our sweet Matthew, my youngest son. He begged me not to return to Paris…"
*Francis is shown sitting in his throne watching as Matthew and Arthur dance. Matthew runs up to his papa and shows him a picture he drew. Francis takes the picture and puts it in his lap, pulling out a little round box and shows it to his son. In the background a servant boy, with beige hair, large nose, and violet eyes, is watching*
"… So I had a very special gift made for him, to make the separation easier for both of us."
Francis hands his son the box and Matthew gasps.
"For me? Is it a jewelry box?"
In the background the servant boy is scolded for coming out to the party and is dragged back into the kitchen.
"Look…" Francis took a necklace from around his neck and placed the charm on it in the hole in the box, where it fit like a puzzle piece. He twisted the charm in a circle and it started to play music.
Matthew gasped, "It plays out lullaby."
Francis smiled in return, "You can play it at night before you go to bed and pretend that it's me singing."
The two began to sing along with the music box:
"On the wind
'cross the sea
Hear this song and remember,
Soon you'll be
Home with me
Once upon a December."
Francis handed Matthew the necklace, "Read what it says."
"Together in Paris. Oh really? Oh papa!" He gave his papa a hug.
*the scene turns dark and menacing; all of the dancers have stopped. And a dark figure approaches.*
"But, alas, we would never be together in Paris, for a dark shadow had descended upon the house of the Kirklands. His name was Gilbert, we thought he was a holy man, but he was a fraud. Power-mad and dangerous…"
Arthur steps up to the figure with an angry expression. "How dare you return to the palace?"
Gilbert faked an incredulous look, "But I am your confidant!"
"Confidant? Ha, you are a traitor, get out!"
"You dare banish the great and awesome Gilbert? By the unholy powers within me, I banish YOU, with a curse!"
Francis held tightly onto Matthew, as a collective gasp rang through the room.
"Mark my words, you," he pointed to Arthur, "and your family will die, within a fortnight. I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I SEE THE END OF THE KIRKLAND LINE, FOREVER!" He held up his magick artifact and a beam of eerie green light shot up and struck the chandelier causing it to fall. Everyone panicked and backed away from Gilbert.
*Scene cuts to a room with an evil red glow to it, it shows Gilbert summoning some sort of demonic power from a cauldron.*
"Consumed by his hatred for Arthur and our family, Gilbert sold his soul for the power to destroy them."
*Gilbert's clothes and skin rip away from his body leaving only his bones, suddenly the green glowing artifact floated to his hand and when he touched it, his body was transformed back, except it had a sickly pale glow to it. Strange green shadows oozed from the artifact. Gilbert had a sick and twisted smile on his face. "Go, and fulfill your awesomely dark purpose. Seal the fate of the Czar and his family once and for all."*
"From that moment forward, the spark of unhappiness in our country was fanned into a flame that soon destroyed our lives forever."
*statues are being pulled down and there is smoke and fire everywhere.*
Matthew was running down the palace halls, "Papa, Father!"
"Hurry children!" Arthur yelled.
Matthew who had been holding onto his papa's hand suddenly stopped and started running back to his room. "My music box!"
"Matthew wait!" Francis followed him back to his room, "Come back!"
When they entered his room Francis quickly shut the door, "Matthew, what are you doing?"
Matthew had grabbed his music box just as the palace gave a violent shake, scaring both of them.
The servant boy from earlier opened up a secret door in the wall. He grabbed the hands of the two royals and led them to the door. "Please hurry; come this way, servant's courters, Da?"
Matthew dropped his music box as they were pushed through the door. Outside the window to the room Gilbird, Gilbert's pet bird and messenger, saw the whole thing. "Ah! He's getting away!"
Matthew upon realizing that he had dropped his music box tried to run out of the passage to get it, but the servant boy pushed him back in, "Go! GO!"
He quickly shut the secret door and stood in front of it trying to guard it, for he heard the rebels come to the door and shout "In here, he's in here!" They broke down the door and ran up to the boy demanding to know where Matthew and Francis were. The boy refused and swung a lead pipe at one of the guards who then hit his head with the butt of his gun, knocking him out.
Meanwhile Matthew and Francis were running across a frozen river for their lives. Scared out of their minds when it all got worse as Gilbert appeared on the bridge laughing like the maniac he is. He jumped off and tackled Matthew who screamed. Francis fell down as well trying to pull his son out of the sorcerer's grip, who just cackled in return, "You'll never escape me, child." He starts laughing again not realizing that the Ice was breaking until it was too late and he was struggling to lift himself out of the icy water. "GILBIRD!" He cried desperately for his pet.
"MASTER!" he flew over and could only watch in horror as his master sank to the bottom of the river.
Francis and Matthew started running again and kept running until they reached the train station. Francis hops on a cart and tries to pull Matthew on as the train starts moving. The train, however, was going too fast and Matthew couldn't keep up, he held his papa's hand desperately. "Don't let go!" he shouted.
Alas fate had different plans and their hands separated and Matthew tripped hitting his head on the walk way hearing his precious papa shouting, "No! Matthew!" just before he blacked out.
"So many lives were destroyed that night. What had always been was now gone forever. And my Matthew, my beloved son, I never saw him again…"
