The day Anastasia was born was a blessed and a joyous day, a day that many prayed for.. a salvation day.
She was given love from the very first moment she came to this life, and the amount of love was just too grand that it was even shown in her name " Anastasia", a name that was bestowed to strong and legendary women only, a name that hold the meaning of the fearless and immortal woman.
Regardless of the fuss and dissatisfaction the nobles and the royalty had shown concerning Anna's name; especially since it was forbidden to grant such glorious names to other than the king's children, Anastasia was proud and felt blessed every single day, and how come she wouldn't be since it was the name that the So respected and admired father " Lord Nicholas Hellson " personally picked for her.
Nicholas Hellson, the single father of the six beautiful creatures whom were worshiped by the whole kingdom, and loved even more than the princes of the nation, and even though lord Nicholas was a single parent; no woman in the entire kingdom was ever able to resist his charms and looks, in fact it was hardly believed that this young and god like man has six children of his own.
The Hellsons were the most famous of all families in the kingdom\, no one really was aware of their relation to the royal family or even the kind of business they run\, but that didn't matter\, some truths are better off sealed from people. Not only Nicholas had all the credit for himself\, but actually his sons were the most desired bachelors in the kingdom\, the five far from good looking young men captured the hearts of every single woman in ***" Edenville"***\, and could even charm young men as well\, thanks to that a rumor about the descendants of angels living in the capital " Edenville " was all over the kingdom of ***" Barovia "***.People believed that they were anything but simply humans...Poor humans\, they were wrong about everything\, but right about only one this " Anything but Humans ".
Today, Our beautiful and gorgeous heroine grew up to be such a kind and cheerful young lady who's loved even more than before not only by her father and brothers, but also by all the servants of the mansion.
Anna the girl who was raised by six men in the house never actually had any privacy and no matter how many times she nagged about it, it was only a waste of energy; but she managed to get her self few hours of privacy some times, thanks to the events nobles hold regularly, and because Anna's brothers never allowed her to attend those aristocrat's events, she used this opportunity to write letters for her mother.
" Dear Mother in heaven,
I trust and believe you're resting well in there, I know that I always mention this in my letters, but I need to thank you because even after death you're still looking after me, you made sure that I grow up in such a king and loving family, surrounded by my most precious people, I only wished that you lived after giving me birth and witnessed the blessings and happiness we are living as we love and protect one another, hopefully we make proud. Love Anastasia. "
I tend to write letters to mother in heaven every time I get a chance, childishly hoping she's actually receiving them, I really can't recall the first time I started doing this; however, I clearly remember it was out desperation. I wanted to believe that she's still alive and I was never the reason for her death, people around me don't talk, but their eyes do. I could see their pity and sympathy in their actions and stares, but that's okay .. since my most important ones never made me feel that way.
Though I have never met her, but I can tell that she was an unforgettable person, simply because when I look in the mirror I see not a bit of resemblance between my brothers and I and even father .. but what I see is a beauty of its own .. this long silky dark hair that shines in the darkness of then night, and the flawless fair skin.. beautifully shaped eyebrows..pointed nose and chin.. the naturally rosy cheeks, but what I can't stop looking at is those eyes of mine; gray ash almond shaped eyes.. this, this was all hers "Runa Bathory" my mother's. I want to know about her, but no one ever talks about Mother, ever father.
" Miss Anastasia, are you writing those letters again! you always look so sad when you're writing them." with a worried voice Anna's personal maid Mellissa said.
" Don't look so worried my dear Mellissa, I really enjoy writing those letters."
" But Miss forgive my rudeness, to whom you write those letters you never send?." Mellissa asked. She didn't need to say a word, but her expression said it all .. they were meant for important person.
" Oh my god! look at the time, I need to get going before those little devils come back. Have you prepared the Carriage Mellissa?."
" Yes Miss, we are ready to leave."
***Anastasia***is almost seventeen\, and about to host her coming of age party\, now she's heading to the market in order to fetch what she's still needing for this glorious event\, normally this was a maid's work\,however\, Anna preferred handling her matters on her own\, such an independent young lady.
It is needed to say that ***Anna***was truly adored by her father and brothers\, but at some point she found that suffocating\, and how come not when they're always overprotective and obsessively jealous [you'll soon find out why].
As she was about to leave\, Anna sensed a heavy cold feeling coming from behind\, The seventeen years she lived in the house were enough for her to easily recognize who's the one about to throw a tantrum and the source of this unpleasant feeling\, ***Anna***helplessly sighed because she knew that she's not going to pass through this one that easily\, but our heroine had secret weapons of her own\, each one was used against each brother ... and even the father... weapons which they could never win against.
" What are you so upset about Elijah nii-san?."
***Elijah***was incredibly surprised that ***Anna***could actually tell who's there without even looking back and thoughtlessly asked " How did...\, forget it. I believe that I was clear when I said you are not to leave without one of us!."
PS: This is the face of Anastasia I always had in mind.
Sweet dreams my loves, Until the next Episode.
