Hello, this is my first fanfiction for "Anastasia". I actually wrote this for Halloween (with different names for the characters) on my writing blog; but never decided to post this on the site until now. Enjoy and as usual, reviews good flames bad.


Anastasia was a normal girl living in a normal town. Her parents were kind and loving towards her and gave her anything she wanted within reason. One day, Anastasia came home from school to find that her parents weren't home. Anastasia thought nothing of it at first, thinking that her parents must've gone out on an errand or something; but somewhere in the back of her mind, she was afraid that something bad has happened.

Day turned into night and Anastasia's parents still haven't returned. Anastasia began to panic as she thought of the worst. Then, a loud knock was heard coming from outside. Anastasia walked slowly toward the front door, unlocked it and turned the knob. The door opened to reveal Sheriff Dimitri, town sheriff and close family friend. The tall, brown-haired man told Anastasia that he has something important to tell her and asked if he could come in. Anastasia stepped aside to let the sheriff inside and closed the door behind her.

Sheriff Dimitri then walked into the living room and told Anastasia to sit down beside him. Anastasia then made her way to the couch and sat down beside the sheriff. The sheriff then told Anastasia the bad news, her parents were on their way home from visiting a relative in a nearby town and were run off the road by an incoming car and crashed off the side of a cliff. Anastasia, feeling devastated, did not want to believe what Sheriff Dimitri had told her, screaming through her tears that her parents weren't dead and that they would be home soon. The young girl then threw herself onto the couch as she cried in sadness and anguish over the loss of her beloved parents. The sheriff then got up, put a comforting hand on Anastasia's back, apologized for her loss and left the heartbroken girl alone.

After that fateful day, Anastasia was a shell of her former self. She barely ate and slept very little, sometimes not at all, for fear that her mind will replay that night over and over like a broken record. She no longer goes to school and stayed in her home till she died of malnutrition. With her last dying breath, she swore that she would find the person who was responsible for taking her parents away from her and make them pay with their life.

The story goes that if you were to drive along the highway just outside of town, you would see a little girl wearing a pale blue dress with light purple ribbons in her chestnut brown hair, standing at the edge of a cliff. If you drive toward her, be warned, for those who did were never seen again…


The End
