July 16, 1917
The Ipatiev house, Ekaterinburg, Russia SSR
1:00 AM
The early morning of the July marks a new day for many but the last for 11 people within the house of special purpose, the white army is nearing the house and the guards are getting more worried than ever, if the white army manage to rescue the Romanov family then the people's revolution is doomed. They need to make quick action before its too late, the Romanovs and their servants are escorted to the basement of the manshion, where they would stay in the moment. Before Yurovsky exits the room; the former-Tsarina Alexandra makes a complaint.
"Where are the chairs? I'd like for me and my son to sit down."
Yurovsky turns his attention to two young guards, "Get them chairs." He ordered.
The two guards collect two chairs and brought them into the room for the former Tsarina and former Tsarevich Alexie to sit, for the last time.
"Wait here." Yurovsky said to the Romanovs and their servants as he closes the door.
Yurovsky walks into another room at the same level as the basement where the 11 occupants are left. He is unwelcomed by a news from one of the guards.
"These two men would like to withdraw sir." The guard said
"Why?" Yurovsky asked sternly.
"We can't execute children, sir. They din't do anything wrong." one of the men said, with sympathy at his last sentence.
"You may care about them but they don't care about you." Yurovsky told the man. "Take them away. And take their guns as well!" he ordered.
The two men are dishonorably discharged with their firearms confiscated, they are eventually replaced by two recruits. Both are given the guns that belonged from the previous men. Yurovsky loads his Mauser C96 with 10 bullets, the total number this type of pistol can carry followed by the other men loading their firearms for the so called-execution. Yurovsky and his men walks out of the room and into the room where the Romanovs and the servants are waiting for further orders from Yurovsky. As they entered, the little pair huddles to Tatiana for comfort who then placed her arms around the little pair. Yurovsky stares at all them for 2 seconds before he reaches for his pocket, where the paper that would decide the fate of the morning. Yurovsky looks down at the piece of paper.
"As your relatives and allies continues their attack on the people's soviet republic of Russia; The Ural executive committee have ordered you to be executed."
The family and the servants gasped, the little pair starts to shiver, Tatiana tightens her arms around them with the look of shock on her face.
"What what!?" Nicholas shocked.
immediately, Yurovsky pulls out his Mauser C96 pistol and shoots the Tsar at the torso followed by a shot at the head, his body falls to the ground with thud, at the same time the other guards open fire at the victims, Alexandra is immediately killed by a shot at the head, Olga is injured at the right hand as she tried to make the corss sign and falls to the ground screaming in pain, Botkin is shot at the head immediately killed, Kharitonov is shot mutiple times and Alexie Trummp is injured severely. The room starts to get covered by suit and smoke by the gun fire, it also doesn't help by the fact that many of the guards are drunk and couldn't shoot properly. Maria ran for the door at the back wall, not knowing its only a door to a small storage room, she struggles to open the door to escape the onslaught but she was shot at the right thigh during her attempt, she screams in pain and quickly fell to the ground, Tatiana helped Olga up and quickly moved to the left back corner of the room through the smoke, protected by their jewel covered corset hidden in their blouse that caused the bullets to ricochet. After minutes of fire, the firing ceased.
"Alright lads, outside now, lets clear the smoke!" Yurovsky ordered, not knowing the sisters are still alive within the fog of black dust. The sound of moaning in agony was enough to tell Yurovsky that the sisters are still alive within the room, struggling to live he thought. "You 2 re- load your guns, we have a task to finish, the rest of you stay here." He whispers in eagerness to kill the last of the Romanov family. As the smoke have mostly cleared, Yurovsky and 2 men return to the room finding the sisters are still alive, they shot them multiple times at the chest area with Anastasia covering herself with the pillow filled with jewels that acted like a shield. Yurovsky decides to come close, as Tatiana tries to help Olga to stand Yurovsky fires at the back of her head, Tatiana's blood and brain gore splattered at Olga's face, Tatiana shudders and tears falls down her cheek, "..I-I love you, Olga..." then her body falls, her blood streaming from her head to the floor, Olga holds on to her dead sister, "Tatya! Please, no!" she mourned in agony and sobbing softly. Yurovsky and the two men just watches, the guilt he starts to feel eventually gets towered over by his anger and hatred. Olga looks up at Yurovsky with vengeful spirit in her blue eyes, "You, monster!" After that short remark, Yurovsky pierce her chin with a bullet that exits out of her head, her body hits the wall simultaneously and slumps to the right, with her blood stained the wall on top of her. Yurovsky look at the two men watching.
"What are you waiting for, finish the last of them!" He pointed to the little pair.
"Wait!" Yurovsky yelled, "We cannot use the guns any further or else the neighbors will start to get suspicious. Use the bayonets!"
"Yes, comrade Yurovsky!" the two men replied and left of to get the bayonets..."Y-You will one day regret this..!" Anastasia hesitated whos sitting at the far right corner near where Yurovsky is standing.
"Thats where you're wrong. Your family has been nothing more than a cruel ruling dictatorship who cares nothing for their people other than the luxury and splendor you live on, while we break our backs day and night to earn wages to raise our families in poor conditions. And your family greatly opresses people, like me..." Yurovsky pulls out a Judaism symbol out of his collar.
"But people like you killed my great grandfather!" Anastasia shouted with a strained voice.
"A person's actions does not mean all of his people were involve. Ever since that day your family made the lives of my people, who were never involve in your relative's assasination, even harder. Now, you're all going to pay!"
Anastasia remained silent, after hearing what Yurovsky has said her expression of anger fades into a sorry expression, but after seeing what he had done to her family she can't say she is sorry for her family's actions.
The two men arrived with the Bayonets, Yurovsky walks back then the two men bayonet charged at the remaining little pair, their screams of agony and suffering are loud enough for anyone to hear outside, the noise of the truck's revving engine tries to hide it as loud as it can. The two men drops their bayonets and proceeds to beat the little pair on the chest then followed by the head fiercely.
"Why! Won't! You! Die!" the man brutally beating Maria on the head said. saying his words one hit at a time.
Maria and Anastasia gurgles up and spits blood out into the floor and their blouse as they are punched continuously in a morbid fashion, their noses badly broken and bleeding heavily, their eyes are as black as the night, their face badly bruised. One of the men picked up his rifle with the bayonet on font, turns it around with the butt aiming downward and slams it into Maria's head like thunder, the other man follows suit by hitting her on the chest area, Mara's skull and ribcage cracks at each hit, blood spilling out of her mouth and nose, her head's shape had deformed. Maria twitches her fingers before the final blow have silenced her.
The two men then looks at the last sister standing, Anastasia, whos now shedding tears from the pain of her injuries and the sight of her last sister's brutal death. One of the men walks to Anastasia with his rifle and slams her by the head into the floor. By now, she lost all of her strength to resist, and accepts her fate. The man slams the rifle butt brutally into Anastasia's skull with such intense force.
"DIE! YOU! BITCH!" The man yelled, 3 words at each hit. The hits he made were so gargantuan that blood even splattered to his cloth and face. The other man grabbed him by the arms to stop him.
"Calm down, comrade! Its done."
Anastasia's murderer looks at his comrade then to the body with a crushed head that was once a living being. Yurovsky puts his hands on the shoulders of both men.
"You both have done well tonight." Yurovsky congratulated.
A little moan is then heared, the moan came from the former-Tsarevich, Alexie, laying down on the floor in pain, desperately tries to make an escape by crawling. Yurovsky pins the boy with his right leg and shot him twice on the left temple. The boy stopped moving, his eyes remains opened. The room is now drowned in errie silence, tarnished with corpses with the smell of blood, gore, powder and urine. Olga's corpse slowly slumps against the wall again, making a slight noise. Yurovsky aims but to dint fire a shot, he slowly walks to the corpses of the big pair passing over the corpses of two pf the servants. But as expected, she is already dead, only her eyes still staring and her mouth open.
Yurovsky looks at all of the guards. "Get the bags, now!" He ordered.
