A/N: And here is the next chapter after a couple of thank you's :D
Thank you Lala and Guest for your reviews. :)
And to Ilovemh, Mr and Mrs Spirit are not Operetta and Johnny. Maybe this chapter will help clear that up. They are Killan and Katya Spirit.
And please sign in next time so I can send y'all a PM to thank you personally :)
Chapter Five:
Phantom of the Opera
"You don't remember anything?" I asked the girl.
She shook her head and Operetta asked, "What now?"
"We go to Dracula. He should at least know what to do."
I knew that I couldn't take her to the authorities in case she was a monster, but if she was a normie, Dracula would know. I carried the girl and Operetta walked next to me.
"Sugar, until we figure out your real name, we will call you Violet Frost, okay?"
She nodded and fell asleep on my shoulder.
Dimitri Leafgreen
I felt lost without Willow. She's my only friend. The police found absolutely nothing. No clues. At all. I was furious at them. I missed her terribly.
"Dimitri, come eat." Mom called.
"Not hungry, Mom."
I looked out the window at the Spirit's home and said, "Willow, no matter what I have to do, I will find you."
I was determined to keep my silent promise to her.
No matter what I had to do.
Phantom of the Opera
I pulled into the driveway of Dracula's mansion. I'm glad he didn't live far from us this year. I got out of the car and carried Violet and Operetta.
When I knocked on the door, Dracula's brother, Vlad, answered.
"I need to see Dracula. It's urgent."
"Sure, sure. Come in." Vlad said, obviously being the nicer of the two.
He led us up the stairs and down the hallway. He opened the last door on the left which I found out was Dracula's office. He was sitting at his desk frowning at a stack of papers.
"Ah. Hello, Erik. What can I do for you?"
"Can you tell me who she is? 'Retta and I found her in a field of wildflowers on my property."
He stood up and took the child from my arms.
"Hmm... She looks quite familiar, but I can't put my finger on it."
He flipped the pendant on her necklace and his eyes widened.
"What is it?" I asked anxiously.
"S-She's a Romanov."
"As in from Russia?"
"Yes."
"Should I send her back to Russia then?"
"No. She's safe here. Raise her as your own."
Violet Frost
Three Months Later
"Try and catch me, 'Retta!"
"Oh I will! Watch me!"
I kept running and laughing. I loved to play tag with Operetta. Actually, any game was great. I ran and ran and hid in one of the bushes in front of the house. I was faster than Operetta. When she was just passing the bush I was in, I tackled her to the ground.
We laughed and she said, "Ya nearly scared me to death."
"Sorry, 'Retta."
Erik opened the front door and said to us, "Come in and eat, you two wild childs."
Operetta and I jumped up and ran to the kitchen to eat.
Dimitri Leafgreen
I walked over to the willow tree in Willow's backyard. The police only roped off the house. I sat down in front of a small crater where Katya had placed Willow. I placed my hands in the center of it and concentrated.
"Mother Earth, tell me where Willow is."
Silence.
"I need to know where she is."
"Dimitri Allen Leafgreen, she is safe. You need not worry about her."
I sighed, knowing Mother Earth wouldn't give in and tell me.
"But when it is time, you will find each other."
"What do you mean?"
"She needs to find herself first. Once she does, love will bring you back together."
Love? How could that be? I'm only six.
Dracula
I was struggling to find more information on the Romanovs without contacting them directly. How would someone from Russia end up in the states? It didn't make any sense. From what I discovered, the Romanovs weren't allowed to leave Russia. Also, everyone in the monster community knew the story of how Anastasia Romanov escaped.
When the Romanov family was taken into their cellar to be executed, Anastasia knew something was amiss. She had wedged her handbag into her dress, after noticing the guns. When a bullet hit her chest, she collapsed like those before her had. Her handbag is was saved her life. The jewels inside it deflected the bullet.
She laid there on the ground, face down so the gun men couldn't see she was breathing. Plus, they wouldn't see she wasn't bleeding. When they kicked her, to be sure she was dead, she made sure she was limp so they wouldn't second guess it.
It worked. Once they left, Anastasia waited until she was sure they were gone. She then ran to her room and packed up her things and ran into the city. As she was running, she literally ran into a young man. His name was Gavriil Ivanski. He took her in and she told him who she was. He's the one who urged her to take back her place as the Grand Duchess of Russia and she did.
She imprisoned the men who killed her family. Anastasia was the greatest ruler Russia had ever seen. She married Gavriil and had two kids with him, Nikolas and Maria.
What the normies that knew the story didn't know about Gavriil was he was a wizard, making Nikolas and Maria ones too.
With that being said, I knew this girl was a witch.
And one of the most powerful ones at that.
A/N: Tada! What do y'all think? Let me know in that review box below :D
