Revenge of the Grandducchess

In the early hours of July 17 1918, the leader of the secret police knocked on our doors and told us to dress up then go to the basement. “ Another family portrait” My sister Tatiana said. I knew something wrong was about to happen but Papa was hopeful and ecstatic. “ We are going to be rescued. Our supporters and loyalists are on their way!” He said with a glimmer of relief on his tired and broken face. At the basement, one of the guards held a piece of paper and he read it loud in front of us. None of us saw it coming.. It was an order from the Bolsheviks sentencing us, the Romanov Imperial Family to death by execution at that same moment. Then there were gunshots everywhere... We were being murdered right then and there. More gunshots followed until the loud screams were no more.. And silence followed Their Majesties Tsar Nicholas ll and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, Emperor and Empress of all Russia, died in an instant. They were my Papa and Mama. My sisters, the 3 Grandducchess’ Olga, Tatiana and Anastasia were wounded but still breathing.. And Alexei.. the Tsarevich, heir to the throne, my brother, the future head of the Romanov Dynasty that ruled Russia for almost 500 years.. Long live the Romanovs!

Perfumes and scented oils..

I was shaking.. I was extremely upset and I could no longer hide it. The last time I witnessed my family's murder, I was powerless to do anything but not this time.. Alexei was the only one I got.. He was not just my biological brother but also my Emperor, my King.. My Tsar.

I grabbed the broken lamp and hit the Countess on her face.. She screamed so I hit her over and over again until she was bloodied and unconscious.

Amelie returned to my room and saw the Countess laying on the floor, covered with her own blood.

" My lady.. What have you done again this time?" She said while she was trying to collect her emotions.

I knew what I had done.. I killed the Countess of Bravada, the mother of Jose Manuel..

I asked Amelie to clean the floor while I lit the fireplace and threw several woods on it..

I waited until the fire was strong then I cut the Countess' dress and inner garments. I threw them on fire..

" My lady, you can not burn the whole body.. Other passengers would notice the smell of a burning flesh.." Amelie warned me.

" I know.. that's why we will burn her little by little." I replied.

I wrapped her in the curtain and cut her head off then I threw it on the fireplace. I asked Amelie to help me dismembered her body.

She cut the arms, I cut the legs, then the torso and we burned them one by one.

I poured all my perfumes and scented oils all over my room to cover the smell of burnt flesh.

Amelie vomited when we finished everything.. I also threw up. My stomach was turning upside- down. I could still smell her blood in my skin..

I burned the clothes that I was wearing and I went to the bathroom.

I stayed there for hours.. I scrubbed myself from head to toe, I poured a liter of bath soaps and gels all over my hair and body then I emptied my remaining lavender oil and soaked myself on it.

When I finally dried myself.. I looked at the mirror and saw myself.. I already killed 3 people.. I was officially a murderer..
