Anastasia
A untie's cat curls up against me, his yeLLOW eyes glowing with something I cannot even begin to name. My fingers search the pocket of my dress, feeling for the small bit of bread I have placed there. The tiny offering my matroyshka has said I might need.
"Here, koshka." I hold out my hand as the doll has taught me, palm up, the coarse brown crumbs lying in the center.
The animal sniffs, considers. Then his small mouth opens, and he bends his head over my hand. My skin prickles as his wet, rough tongue runs across my palm.
In the fire, the images flicker. Baba Yaga and I watch and listen.
"Where is he, Dimitri?" Viktor rages at a man I do not know. His anger pours out of him. And I think of the day I found him pacing the stone chapel, the knuckles of his right hand dotted with his own blood, the skin shredded from pounding against one of those stone walls. That was the day he told me he had warned Papa of what was coming. The day Papa had dismissed him with a brief wave of the hand.
"He is dead," the man called Dimitri says to Viktor. "Vladimir is gone. Ethan must have...he never came out of the building."
