(Maria and Olga's pain)
It was a rainy day and the siblings were relaxing in the living room area while Ivan was searching for Anastasia,
"I wonder if Anastasia ever gotten our letters" Maria said while she was brushing her teeth and also brushing her hair as well,
"I am positive that she had gotten our letters wherever she is and I'm sure Anastasia will return to us as well...hopefully" Olga replied back before washing her face with a towel rag,
"Hey Olya? Do you have this sense of danger today? Like this sense of dread that's gonna come towards our way?" Maria said as she put the brush down and looked towards Olga,
"Olya?...It's been a while since you called me that my dear Mashka and remember that and as our mother told us whatever happens is indeed under God's plan and we must follow it and have trust in him" Olga said with a warm smile while Maria's expression turned into an offended one,
"God's plan? Tell me this Olya! If this is all in God's plan then why did our father get shot in the chest! while our mother got shot in her freaking head! And our dear Anastasia is missing!" Maria cried out in an upset manner while stomping her feet as well
Olga stood there shocked at what she said wondering why Maria's mood suddenly turned upset,
"Mashka, we do not know why God brings suffering to us and even at times I question that every night since that fateful night but we must remain steadfast in our faith Mashka and you know this! And mother taught us this!" Olga pleaded with her sister as she reached out for a hug,
"Why?...Why?! Why must we suffer! Why must papa and mama should suffer a horrible death and our sister is missing! And you don't even care!" Maria yelled out as tears flowed down towards her face
Olga was shocked and offended at what she said, "Maria!, how could you! I care! I care so much about what's going on! and to say that I don't care is downright cruel!, I'm sad as well!, I'm HURT! And not since that night it's been a while and at times I feel like a shell of my former self! And what you said hurted me! I love and care for my parents and Anastasia so much!" Olga cried back as she was brought to tears
Maria stood there crying, "Tatiana, you, Baby, and Anastasia, I love you all so much! And even if one of you guys were to die, I wouldn't know what to do! I'm scared just like you! So scared! For my safety! you and my siblings safety! And everything else! and when I was angry at you for the cake incident it showed that I CARED! and you can be native when it comes to guys at times and I wanted to ensure that you were safe and not in danger!" Olga ranted as she fell down to her knees and was crying while Maria began to shed some tears as well,
"I-I'm...I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Maria cried out as she dropped to her knees and hugged her sister,
"I think I understand...even when things are low you try your hardest to lift our spirits up and during our stay at the Ipatiev House you were down and sad however our dear Anastasia managed to cheer you up and now your doing the same…" Maria thought to herself as she gently confronted Olga,
"I'm sorry for what I've said Olya...I love you" Maria softly said while Olga was still crying,
"You are forgiven my dear Mashika and Thank you very listening to me" Olga softly said as all of her tears were cried out as both girls embraced for some time,
"Ready for today?" Olga said with her cheeky red smile,
"Yes!" Maria said cheerfully with some tears on her face as both girls headed towards the kitchen area,
"Good morning and is anything okay?" Alexei said as he rubbed his eyes and taken a seat in the kitchen table,
"I love you my sweet baby" Olga and Maria said as they hugged him and kissed him on each side of his cheek,
"I love you too" Alexei said with a smile while Tatiana followed along,
"How's everyone doing on this fine morning" Tatiana said with a smile,
"Wonderful!" Olga and Maria replied back with a smile,
"Olya...I think I understand your feelings even better now on this wonderful morning and I have my family to protect...Alexei, Olga, Tatiana, and Anastasia," Maria thought to herself with a smile as she turned around and seen her family talking as Maria flashbacked to the Catherine Palace in which was filled with wondrous lights while many servants and cooks served the Romanov Family
"I remember the nights where we had our feasts...we use to talk chat and laugh together without fear...mama papa I am sure we will meet again in heaven and thank you for everything for what you taught me and Mama...I'm sorry for not being careful with Ivan and I know that you forgiven me and even when you didn't show it" Maria finally said with a tearful smile as her flashback ended,
"Maria!, Breakfast is ready!" Olga said with a warm smile, "Yes! Coming!" Maria said as she joined her siblings to eat breakfest
