Vol. 12 - Chapter 12: Anastasia

Part 1 – Lucifugus Mansion

(BBBBBOOOOMMMM)

Alejandro falls to the bed of his room. He bounces and falls to the ground. "OUCH!" Alejandro rubs his head; he looks at his surroundings and asks:

"Where am I? Is this my room?"

The room is completely dark; the only light that illuminates the room is the full moon. Alejandro slowly stands up and begins to walk outside, he opens the door slowly, and he tries to be as silent as he can.

He opens the door, however the door makes a squeaky sound, Alejandro with his eyes close, finishes opening the door, and he looks outside and the only thing he sees is darkness, Alejandro walks slowly trying to find the exit, he begins to think:

"Damn it, I don't know where I am, the only time I went outside, Cassidy was covering my eyes because we were playing horse."

(BOOOOMMM)

Alejandro hits his leg, he begins to jump saying:

"Damn it, that hurts."

Alejandro continues walking until he reaches the living room, he opens the door. Alejandro´s expression changes to a fearful one, he begins to tremble as he sees the scenario.

"What is this? Why are you here?" Alejandro says as he sees the scenario, the living room is covered by dead bodies. The bodies are students from the school that Alejandro attended. Alejandro kneels down; he recognizes the bodies as he begins to cry:

"Fernanda, Margaret, Luis, everyone, why?"

The room is covered in blood, there the stench makes Alejandro want to throw up. Meanwhile a figure approaches Alejandro, the figure is carrying a long sword, and the sword is making a line in the ground. Alejandro is distracted hugging his friend´s body. The figure enters the room, Alejandro perceives it and turns around.

(SSSLLLLAAASSHHH)

Alejandro dodges the attack of the long sword. The figure cuts a sofa, Alejandro crawls back and turns around, he can't see very clearly who the figure is, he begins to scream:

"YOU DID THIS, YOU SON OF A BITCH."

The figure slashes once again, Alejandro dodges the attack and runs out of the room, he can't see because of the darkness. The attacker continues walking slowly going after towards Alejandro. The attacker walks into the lights and it is revealed that it is Anastasia.

" I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE QUICK, I NEED TO GET BACKTO WHERE CASSIDY IS." Alejandro charges towards the stairs, a long sword is thrown.

(SSSLLLLAAASSHHH)

The sword makes a cut to Alejandro´s cheek. Alejandro looks frightened and crawls to the ground. Anastasia stops in the window and looks outside at the moon, she begins to think a little back when she met Aleister.

Part 2 – A few moments ago

"Anastasia, its been a long time, how have you been?" Aleister greets Anastasia as he sits in his sofa, Anastasia with a sincere smile vows her head and replies:

"I have been doing well, Master, and I have been following your orders as you demanded."

"Excellent, that pleases me a lot, and how are our guests doing?" Aleister asks as he drinks from his glass, Anastasia replies:

"They have been doing just fine, I have been keeping and I at them, Cassidy act very reckless and Alejandro only wants to play with her."

"I see, well then, good job on your assignment, now it's time to move to the second stage." Aleister stands up and walks towards Anastasia which causes her to make a step back, Aleister chuckles:

"Fufufu, what's wrong, are you scared of your brother?"

"N-N-No, it's not that, it's just that I am not worthy of you being close to me." Anastasia replies with a nervous tone, Aleister chuckles a little more and hugs Anastasia, she begins to tremble as she feels an overwhelming presence, and Aleister begins to speak in a low tone:

"You know, it makes me sad when my own family fears me, I only want to be close to you that's all."

Anastasia stops trembling and lowers her head replying; "I'm sorry, big brother." Aleister separates from Anastasia and with a smile he says:

"That's better, now then, for your next order; I want you to kill Alejandro."

Anastasia changes her expression; she enters in a state of shock as she asks:

"K-K-Kill Alejandro, but why?"

"Oh dear, it appears I was right, you have grown attach to him, am I right?' Aleister begins to release manna causing Anastasia to lose her composure and fall back, she begins to say:

"N-N-No it's not that, the only person I care about is you."

Aleister stops and with a smile replies; "Very good, now then, stand up because I can see your panties."

Anastasia gets embarrassed and stops up quickly, Aleister smiles and says; "See, you can be a normal girl after all."

Aleister walks to the window and gives his orders; "Listen, Alejandro and Cassidy have arrived to the underground prison, right now, I will go and speak to Coyote, I want you to play a game with Alejandro. You will chase him to the cliff outside the mansion, in the meantime, please burn this mansion to the ground."

"Burn it to the ground, but why?" Anastasia asks with a suspicious tone, Aleister turns around and his eyes begin to glow.

"Because we all moving to east Europe, that is why, and I don't want any evidence that we were here, don't worry you will come with me, in fact, be ready to bring your new little sister." Aleister answers to Anastasia, Anastasia returns to her normal personality and replies:

"I understand, I will kill Alejandro and I will burn this mansion right away."

Aleister puts his hand on Anastasia's cheek and with a low tone he comments; "Thank you, my sweet little sister."

Part 3: Lucifugus Mansion, Present.

Anastasia sighs with her eyes close; she takes out the gem of Kukulkan and creates a small fire. "I must obey Aleister, no matter what he says." Anastasia turns around and throws fire straight to the room where the bodies were located.

(BBBBBOOOOOMMMM)

The room explodes; suddenly fire begins spread throughout the corridor, Alejandro who is running down the stairs begins to smell smoke, he looks back and sees flames coming his way.

"Damn it, what is happening here?" Alejandro jumps off the stairs and lands in table. He breathes heavily as he tries to open the main door, however, the main door is locked. Alejandro runs through the corridor with great speed trying to escape the burning mansion.

Anastasia is walking slowly behind him, as she grabs the long sword once again, the flames spread into a wider range, the bodies get incinerated instantly, the beds, the chairs, the tables and the belongings turn to ashes.

Alejandro reaches the back side of the mansion and manages to open the door. He begins to run through the large garden the Lucifugus have.

(SSSSLLLAASSSHHH)

Anastasia attacks Alejandro; Alejandro evades the attack and manages to go to the bushes. Anastasia tries to locate Alejandro; Alejandro who cannot see her very well because of the darkness begins to crawl in a silent matter.

"I need to get away from here; otherwise that monster will kill me." Alejandro thinks as he tires to get away. Anastasia once again creates a small flame in her hand, she raises her hand and the flame begins to spread throughout the garden.

(BBBBBOOOOMMMM)

Fire begins to spread throughout the bushes, Alejandro sees it and gets out, at that moment, Anastasia cuts him in the leg.

"AAAHHHHHH" Alejandro screams as he falls to the ground, he breathes heavily as he says:

"You monster, why are you doing this? What did I ever do to you?"

"I'm sorry Alejandro, but these are the orders that master Aleister gave to me." The voice of Anastasia freezes Alejandro who turns around and looks up. His eyes open wider with fear, they begin to fill themselves with tears as the moon reveals that the monster is Anastasia.

"A-A-Anastasia? Why?" Anastasia looks at Alejandro without emotion and says:

"I was given the order to kill you, and I must obey that order."

"I don't understand, two hours ago, you were kicking a ball with me and Cassidy and now you want to kill me?' Alejandro says with a shaky voice, Anastasia looks down and replies:

I'm sorry if I gave you a wrong impression but I was given the order to watch over you, that is all."

"So, you are just a tool? You don't have any feelings?" Alejandro asks as he tries to stand up, Anastasia's eyes regain a small light as she says:

"No, I am not just a tool, I only want master to accept me and love me."

"Then stop this, tell me, do you want to kill me?" Alejandro asks Anastasia, Anastasia begins to show an expression of rage as she replies:

"I don't want to kill, but I have to obey my brother."

Anastasia begins to lift the sword, Alejandro jumps and tackles her saying; "I'm sorry" He begins to get away from Anastasia as he jumps with one leg. Alejandro jumps as fast as he can until he reaches a cliff.

He looks down and sees the current of water passing at high speed, Alejandro nervously begins to think:

"What should I do, do I jump?"

Anastasia catches up to him and says:

"Please don't run anymore, just let me kill you really fast that you won't suffer."

"HAHAHAHA, YOU MAKE ME LAUGH!" Alejandro laughs sarcastically; Anastasia gets angry at him and begins to exclaim:

"WHAT´S SO FUNNY, WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!"

"At first, I was scared and felt desperate but now that I look at you, you are in a worst situation that I am, you know why?" Alejandro points at Anastasia and continues to speak:

"Because die with a purpose than living like you, being a puppet that Aleister uses as his will, you make me sick, I hope one day you understand."

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!!!" Anastasia says as she begins to release manna, she begins to scream:

"I HAVE MEANING IN LIFE, MY PURPOSE IS ALEISTER THAT IS ALL, AND NOW I WILL KILL YOU FOR HIS SAKE!"

"That´s quite enough, you did well, Anastasia" Alejandro opens his eyes wider of fear, Aleister begins to come out of the portal, Anastasia is speechless and lowers her sword, Aleister touches her cheek and with a smile he says:

"Anastasia, thank you for your hard work, you may go now, and take her with you, you know what to do."

Aleister makes Cassidy appear in a portal; she is unconscious and falls into Anastasia´s arms, she looks with a worry expression and asks:

"But brother, do you really want me to go?"

Aleister begins to release aura and with a fake smile he replies:

"Do not make me repeat myself, Anastasia."

Anastasia begins to sweat, she returns to her composure and replies:

"I understand sir, I apologize for my foolish behavior." Anastasia begins to walk slowly to enter the portal, she turns and looks slowly at Alejandro and says; "Good bye, Alejandro."

Alejandro with a big smile replies; "Good Bye Anastasia, I hope to see you again." As Anastasia disappears from the portal, Aleister begins to chuckle and says:

"Alejandro, its been a while, your looking beaten up, do you know that Marjorie and I went on vacation?"

"I know, Anastasia told me, you son of a bitch, are you preparing to kill me?" Alejandro says to Aleister, Aleister laughs and says, "No, no, I won't be the one to kill you."

Aleister makes a portal appear, a cowboy walks out of the portal, with brand new clothes, its Sundance who walks out and takes out a pistol. "Sundance are you okay?" Alejandro asks with a smile.

(PIU)

Suddenly Alejandro sees his stomach that is beginning to bleed, he looks at Coyote smiling and asks:

"Why, Sundance why did you shoot me?"

"I am a bounty hunter boy, and you are in my list!" Sundance replies preparing to shoot one more time.
