(Strong Bonds)

*July 25th, 1918*

A man who appeared to be in his early 30s and was fairly tall was escorted towards the prison house in which the Kaede and the Romanovs are being held,

"I have much fun planned for those scumbags!" Viktor gleefully said as he walked towards the prison house and opened the door,

"Listen up! I'm gonna be the guard for the next week so it's best to listen to everything I have to say!" Viktor roared proudly as everyone nodded their heads however Olga remained her stoic self,

"Wipe that look off your face!" Viktor commanded with a serious look on his face as Olga simply turned away and sat down on the table,

"That look...that's the look of someone who's far stuck up in her little fantasyland! But no worries I'll break her spirit soon enough" Viktor thought to himself as he setted out breakfast for everyone and when he got to Olga he put her plate down with a bit more force as Olga looked up with the same look on her face,

"Your welcome!" Viktor said firmly as Olga turned away and ate her breakfast

Viktor watched over them, "Do you mind?!" Anastasia cried out in annoyance as she gave Viktor a dirty look,

"What was that you snot nosed brat?!" Vitkor yelled as he stood up,

"Anastasia please…" Tatiana whispered as she looked at Anastasia,

"Anastasia, please calm down" Kaede said as well to avoid the guard noticing their suspicions,

"No! I feel uncomfortable!" Anastasia snapped as Viktor came towards her,

"What was that?" Viktor said calmly but with a hint of anger in his voice,

"I said leave us the HELL alone!" Anastasia yelled back as she was met with a hard slap to the face as she fell to the floor,

"Shut up bitch! And all of you scum will listen to me!" Viktor angrily said as Olga got up from her chair,

"Please don't hit my sister and I will scold my sister for her outburst" Olga said calmly while hiding her anger,

"Shut up! And If I wanted to I can easily teach her a lesson in ways in which that little brat over there won't understand!" Vitkor said with a smile as he pointed at Alexei who was scared by the events, as Anastasia rubbed her reddened cheeks and sat down quietly,

"Good now be a good little girl and eat!" Viktor said as he went towards the next room to use the bathroom and shutted the door,

"Anastasia, please don't do that again please…" Maria said softly as she took a bit out of the sausage,

"He needs to.." Anastasia said as she was cut off by Olga,

"QUIET! Just please SHUT UP for once!" Olga cried out much to the shook of everyone as she slammed her fork and knife and walked towards Anastasia who was sitting down and not saying a word and raised her hand up,

"Olga please! She's been through enough" Maria cried out as Anastasia remained silent,

"Olga! Please If you strike her like Vitkor did then it's not gonna solve anything!" Kaede cried out however Olga didn't listen and slapped Anastasia on the face,

"You...YOU IDIOT! DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU KEEP RUNNING YOUR MOUTH TO THOSE MEN! WELL? DO YOU! WHAT TYPE OF SISTER AND PERSON ARE YOU! AND YOUR ACTIONS CAN CAUSE US! A-AND SOMETIMES I WISH YOU WASNT THE WAY YOU ARE BECAUSE OF YOUR FOOLISH ACTIONS!" Olga yelled as tears swelled on her face while Anastasia rubbed her face once more and stayed silent,

"THOSE MEN ARE DANGEROUS! AND I DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU!" Olga yelled as she was crying as well as she got on her knees,

"Anastasia...please...these men are dangerous and provoking them will only make things worse so it's best to do as they say" Olga said more calmly as she attempted to reach her hand out for Anastasia however Anastasia rejected it,

"I see...fine than...If you don't want me to act like Anastasia than I be quiet and not say a single word" Anastasia said in a depressed tone as Olga was shocked at the events as Anastasia sat down,

"Anastasia! Please?" Olga cried out as she tried to reach out to her sister,

"Oh! So you can slap me again! HUH?!" Anastasia cried out as she was crying as well,

"Olga!, Anastasia! Please settle this conflict...please...I don't like seeing you guys fight...please.." Alexei said softly with tears on his face as both Olga and Anastasia looked at their brother and was hit with the realization,

"No! I must keep my family together!" Olga thought to herself as she turned towards Anastasia,

"Anastasia, I'm sorry for slapping you and letting my anger get the best of me and please know that I love you so much and I was protecting you...please forgive me…" Olga said as she reached out once more,

"Y-you sure?" Anastasia softly said,

"Yes.." Olga said with a tearful smile,

"You are forgiven and more importantly I should be sorry for being smart and I was unwise to talk back a-and..do you mean by you hating how I act?" Anastasia replied,

"You are forgiven and I didn't mean it and my anger is a negative trait of mine and I say things that don't mean to say and you are a wonderful, kind, and amazing person and always remain strong Anastasia! And I love you!" Olga said with a tearful smile as she reached her hand out towards Anastasia,

"Thank you...Thank you for forgiving me!" Anastasia replied back as she and Olga hugged each other and both of them hugged Alexei,

"We're sorry you had to see us fight baby but we made it up now...we love you…" Olga said to Alexei as she kissed him on the forehead,

"I'm glad that you and Anastasia made up...I'm so glad…" Alexei said with a warm smile as Kaede who watched everything smiled as well,

"Now!, let's have a good and peaceful breakfast!" Anastasia cheerfully said who was back to her normal self as Tatiana watched in happiness and was moved to tears once more,

"Thank you, God for moving us through this tough time!" Tatiana thought to herself as Anastasia hugged her from behind,

"I love you all and tough times will come but with our strong bond and faith in God...anything is possible" Olga said with a smile,

"Bless those pure souls…" a guard said with a smile as he seen everything that was going on.
