"May I please speak to Anastasia?"
"I'm her… Mina, is that you?"
"Hi, you look the same all these years."
"Yeah, I hear that a lot."
"Um… there is something I must tell you."
"What is it?"
Mina showed Anastasia the Dorian's portrait and Anastasia gasped.
"How…who…what…"
"I should take the blame."
"Why?"
Mina explained everything and Anastasia nodded and clenched her teeth at the portrait. When Mina was done explaining the whole journey she stopped paused and waited for Anastasia to say something.
"Would you mind if I kept the portrait?" Anastasia asked.
Mina nodded and looked at the clock.
"Well, I must be going. Hope to see again."
I walked to the door and Mina walked out. I closed the door and went back to sit down.
I stared at the painting and touched it. I could hear Dorian and pictured his mouth moving and him drinking wine in the chair across from me. At that the memory of first meeting Dorian Gray came to me.
FLASHBACK
I was walking down the street wandering off to nowhere. For a sudden reason I wanted to stop walking. I stopped in front of a building and looked up at it. It was a bar and a sudden urge came to me. I was suddenly thirsty and needed a drink. I walked in and sat at the bar. I looked to my right and saw a man with a cane. He looked at me and grinned. I smiled at him and ordered a drink from the bartender.
"Now what is a young woman like yourself doing here?" he asked.
"A girl gets thirsty and needs a drink. That's what I'm doing here."
I got my drink and sat at a table. The man joined me at the table and smiled. I smiled back and looked in his eyes. They were dark and mysterious. I think I was staring because the man talked.
"See anything you like?"
"Sorry." I said putting my head down.
"It's okay. My name is Dorian Gray."
"Dorian Gray? I like that. It has a ring."
"Really? It has a ring?"
"Yeah. My name is Anastasia Callisto."
"So why are you here?"
"I wanted a drink as you can see."
Dorian smiled and I wanted to melt. He was very attractive and his looks were unspeakable. Then I remembered why I was walking around. I was trying to get away from these guys that were following me. I was about to get up when I saw them walk through the door. I started sinking in my chair trying to hide so I could get away. I was too late of course because they walked toward Dorian and me.
"Anastasia. Come with us now." A guy said in a weird tone.
"What's the trouble?" Dorian asked.
"We just want to see the girl." Another guy said.
"What for? Can't you see that I'm talking to her?"
"Look, just get away." The first guy said grabbing my arm.
I tried to get free but I couldn't. The next thing I know, the guys get out their swords and put it at Dorian's chest. I was amazed at his bravery and felt guilty too. Dorian grabbed his cane and the guy holding my arm dragged me out. I heard the clinging of swords and then it stopped. Dorian walked out with a rip in his shirt and I noticed his chest was showing a bit. I then looked at the guy holding me and saw the look on his face. He was shocked to see Dorian. I was too. It was weird how only he walked out…
"Let her go." Dorian said in a growl like tone.
The guy put his sword to my neck and I froze, afraid to move. Dorian stepped close to us and the guy pressed the sword on my neck. Dorian kept getting closer and the guy kept pressing the sword on my neck. I felt the blood trickle down my neck as he pressed harder.
"Why do you want her?" Dorian asked as he stopped.
"I wanted to ask her questions."
"I didn't see anything. I just heard things and I ran." I yelled.
Dorian looked puzzled and then it looked like he understood. I was surprised he was even helping me. I didn't even know the guy and here he was helping me.
"You got what you wanted. Now let her go."
"Okay. Let's go into the bar and forget this happened."
Dorian agreed and we all walked in the bar. Then the guy got drinks for us and spilt them. When he reached to pick them up he dropped a candle by him and the drinks caught fire. The bartender tried putting out the fire but it only grew. The man slowly walked out of the bar and closed the doors. I ran to them and found out they were locked.
"YOU BASTARD!" I yelled.
Dorian looked at me then to the bartender. We were the only people there and I was inhaling smoke. The next thing I knew, I was feeling tired and fell on the floor.
