At the Beginning
I don't own the rights to the Anastasia movie but it would have been nice if that was really what happened.
Anastasia was playing with Alexei in the garden when Alexandra came out to retrieve her daughter.
"It is time to dress for the ball. Alexei, you father will dress you."
"Thanks mother." Anastasia and her mother walked back up to the palace and changed into their beautiful outfits.
"Oh grandmamma!"
" On the wind cross the sea. Hear this song and remember. Soon you'll be, home with me. Once upon a December."
Dimitri, a kitchen boy in the palace, walked out behind the Romanov family. He watched as Anastasia and her grandmother, Dowager Empress Marie, sing a wonderful song.
"Once upon a December," Anastasia sang. As she hit the highest note, Dimitri melted. He was in love with the Grand Duchess.
"Dimitri, you belong in the kitchen," the cook yelled and dragged him back into the kitchen.
"How dare you return to the palace!" Czar Nicholas II yelled.
"But I am you confidant," Rasputin replied.
"Confidant? Ha! You are a traitor! Get out!"
"You think you can punish the great Rasputin? By the unholy powers vested in my I banish you with a curse. Mark my words. You and your family will die within the fortnight. I will not rest until I see the end of the Romanov line forever!"
"Come this way! Out the servants' quarters!"
"Hurry, Anastasia!"
"My music box!"
"Go! Go!"
"Anastasia, hurry! Hurry!" Marie was pulled on the train.
"Grandmama!"
"Here take my hand!" But the train moved to fast and the last thing Anastasia remembered was hitting her head.
