WAKE UP!

IVAN POV

"I know where she is." A voice said, a voice that was both familiar and unexpected. I turned to see a young boy standing in the doorway, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and determination.

I stared at the boy who appeared to be slightly older but still I recognize him. From the way he was dressed, I knew that he was part of Azar's people but that wasn't enough to hide who he was, I could recognize him because of his green eyes like mine. He also didn't look much different than he did all those years ago.

I stared at the boy in front of me, my heart heavy with a mixture of emotions. This boy, whom I had thought was dead, stood before me now, a shadow of the child I once knew. His eyes, once bright and full of life, now held a darkness that sent a shiver down my spine.
