Chapter 2
"AHHHH" screamed Ivan "WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING" screamed mike. "There is a freakish lady talking to me with a vocabulary 1,000,000 times better than mine. She's saying your first A! I'm so proud of you! How would she know that? she must be stalking me or something." "Um Ivan I think your going nuts. I'm right here and I don't hear anything except you" said mike. "I'm not going nuts you are because you cant hear it." Ivan snapped. "GO TO BED" Yelled Ms Jordan from a distance.
"I hate school and the orphanage. I miss my mom and dad, why did they have to have gone missing? I don't even know them. Do they miss me? Do the want me? Do they even want to talk to me? Is the freakish lady in my head my mom…? Probably not, I'm probably just going crazy." Ivan muttered under his breathe. I hope mike didn't hear that. Thought Ivan.

Ivan closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep, but again, the girl invaded his dreams. This dream was different. He could see her clearly now. She had long, beautiful, golden hair that flowed past her shoulders and stopped at her waist. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue, like the deeps of the ocean. She had bright red cheeks and a wide goofy smile spread across her face. She wore a royal blue dress that dragged across the floor. There were dirt smudges on her dress which indicated she had been wearing it for sometime. Ivan was standing in a room. The room had gray cement walls with no windows. There was no carpet either. It was almost like a jail cell. I know how she feels. He thought. I'm locked up in an orphanage, kind of like a jail….
Ivan wanted to hide. He felt very dorky in his blue checkered PJs, but he bravely choked out a hello. "Hi" he said. She turned her head and looked at him. "Ivan!" She cried happily. "I'm glad you're here! I need your help." "Me?" Ivan asked. "Why do you need…" His voice broke off when She stood up from the old rag bed. His eyes wandered to her feet were metal chains tied her to the bed post. "What? Why are you all locked up?" She looked into his eyes as is staring into his soul. Searching for answers. "Ivan, You might not understand, but our country has been invaded and taken over by a horrible man, Kasbah." She said starring into his dark green, confused eyes. Ivan's eyes widened in confusion as she uttered the words "Our country". Wait a second, what does she mean by "our country"? I don't even know her. I just keep on hearing her in my head and meeting her in my dreams. Is her country Washington? I live in Washington, that's my country. But…she doesn't look like a Washington person. She looks like a princess from a far away country. and who in the world is Kasbah? He thought. "Brother, Kasbah came to our home, the palace, and kidnapped me. He locked me up in this cell. He took mother and father, and also put them somewhere similar to were they put me. Brother, It been so long since I've seen you. Mother sent you away before they kidnapped her and father. You were only just turning 1, so surely you don't remember." She finished. Ivan's eyes widened as all the answers flowed out of her mouth. He opened his mouth to reply but he was to shocked to manage a word. He took a seat on the hard dirty cement floor. He couldn't believe what was happening, He wasn't an orphan, he was a prince and his family was in jeperdy. "What….can I do?" He whispered to his sister. "Where can I even find you?" She looked at his with a warm smile. She opened her mouth to answer him when the sound of heavy foot steps were heard coming to the locked door to the left. Her smile faded and was replaced with a frightened look. The door burst open and a tall man walked in. He's face holds an angry menacing expression. He has a dark brown mustache above his upper lip and a scowl below. His brown eyes resembled an angry grizzly bears that was ready to rip you up into shreds with it sharp claws. He wore a black cape around his shoulders that flowed down to the floor. To the left of his chest was a pendent of an angry lion, its mouth open showing its large sharp teeth. He walks into the room in large angry strides, his eyes glaring intently at his sister. "Kasbah!" She gasped, backing back towards her bed. "Synthya!" He yelled angrily, walking towards Ivan. Kasbah walked through Ivan towards his sister, and Ivan's image flickered and he disappeared.
