FAZER LOGINHello those who wondering,,, Miyan is a girl...
The Search EndsHazel couldn't see.She couldn't hear.She couldn't breathe.There was only darkness.Then—THUMP.Her heart.THUMP.Jae's.THUMP.Something else.Hazel opened her eyes.She was standing in the darkness.Jae stood several feet away.No train.No Claire.No Miyan.No Chicago.Just Hazel and Jae.For a moment, neither spoke.Hazel stared at him.After everything…After every message.Every memory.Every nightmare.Every false glimpse of his face.He was finally standing in front of her.Real.She knew it immediately.She didn't need her power.She didn't need proof.She knew him.“Jae.”His eyes softened.“Hazel.”She walked toward him.He didn't move.She stopped inches away.Her hand trembled.“You're alive.”“Yes.”“You knew I was looking for you.”“Yes.”“You knew what was happening to me.”“Yes.”“You knew my power was awakening.”“Yes.”Hazel's expression hardened.“And you still stayed away.”Jae looked down.“Yes.”She slapped him.The sound echoed through the da
The Man Who Is Not JaeThey escaped the facility just before sunrise.Dallas appeared in the distance.The city looked normal.Cars moved.Lights turned on.People began their morning routines.Nobody knew what had happened beneath them.Hazel sat on the hood of the vehicle.She hadn't spoken for twenty minutes.Miyan handed her a bottle of water.“You should drink.”Hazel accepted it.“Thanks.”Miyan sat beside her.For once, she didn't make a joke.“Do you think he's alive?”Hazel knew who she meant.“The clone?”Miyan nodded.“Yes.”Hazel looked at her palm.“Yes.”Claire approached.“We need to leave.”Hazel looked up.“Where?”“National Guards headquarters.”“No.”Claire stopped.Hazel stood.“They'll want to know what happened.”“They need to know.”“They'll want to take control.”Claire didn't deny it.Hazel looked toward Dallas.“I'm done letting other people decide what happens next.”Claire studied her.Then nodded.“Then where are we going?”Hazel pulled the key from her po
The Choice Jae FearedThe countdown continued.71:59:4271:59:4171:59:40Hazel stared at the numbers.Three days.Jae was coming back.After all these years.The thought should have filled her with relief.Instead, something felt wrong.The clone stood several feet away.Claire kept her weapon trained on him.Miyan watched the monitors.Hazel looked at the clone.“You said Jae was keeping something away from Earth.”“Yes.”“What?”“I don't know its name.”“Then describe it.”The clone shook his head.“You've already seen it.”Hazel's eyes narrowed.“The eye.”“Yes.”Miyan looked confused.“The giant eye?”Claire nodded.“The thing beneath Dallas.”The clone looked at them.“That wasn't beneath Dallas.”Hazel frowned.“What?”“It was looking through Dallas.”Silence.The clone continued.“It's not physically here.”Hazel felt cold.“Then how did we see it?”“Because the door isn't a door.”Claire's expression changed.“Then what is it?”“A connection.”“To where?”The clone looked tow
The Other Jae 2When the lights returned, someone was standing at the end of the hallway.Jae.Hazel immediately knew it wasn't him.Not because of his face.Not because of his voice.Because of the way he stood.Real Jae always carried himself like he was preparing for the next attack.This man stood completely relaxed.Like nothing in the world could surprise him.Hazel stepped forward.“You.”The man smiled.“Yes.”Claire raised her weapon.Miyan stood beside her.“You're the one behind the messages.”“Yes.”“You attacked Hazel's house.”“No.”Claire narrowed her eyes.“Then who did?”“People who wanted her dead.”“Who?”The man smiled.“People who were afraid of what she would become.”Hazel interrupted.“Enough.”The man looked at her.Hazel's power began warming.“Are you Jae's clone?”The smile disappeared.For several seconds, he said nothing.Then:“Yes.”Miyan exhaled.“Finally.”Claire didn't lower her weapon.“How?”The clone looked at her.“That is a question Jae spent ye
The Place Jae Couldn't EscapeThe enormous eye disappeared.The darkness collapsed.And Hazel fell to her knees.Claire caught her before she hit the ground.“Hazel!”Hazel gasped for air.Her entire body was shaking.Miyan rushed toward them.“Is she hurt?”“I don't know.”Claire placed a hand against Hazel's shoulder.“Hazel. Look at me.”Hazel slowly opened her eyes.For a moment, she couldn't recognize where she was.Then she remembered.The eye.The voice.WE HAVE BEEN WAITING.Hazel pushed herself upright.“It knew my name.”Claire nodded.“We heard it.”“It wasn't the same thing behind the door.”Claire's expression tightened.“No.”Hazel looked at her.“There were two.”Claire didn't answer.Miyan looked around the room.“Where did the other guy go?”The man who looked like Jae was gone.Only darkness remained.Then something dropped from the ceiling.CLANG.Miyan jumped.A small metal cylinder rolled across the floor.Hazel picked it up.There was a symbol engraved on it.The
The Girl Behind the DoorHazel couldn't move.The voice had come from behind the steel door.A child's voice.Her voice.Six years old.The same voice from the memory she had recovered beneath Dallas.You came back.Hazel stared into the darkness.Miyan whispered,“Hazel…”She couldn't answer.Claire stepped beside her.“Don't listen to it.”Hazel shook her head.“That was me.”Claire's expression tightened.“I know.”“No.”Hazel took a slow step forward.“You don't understand.”“I understand enough.”Hazel looked at her.“That voice isn't pretending to be me.”Claire's silence confirmed that she had felt it too.The voice came again.Hazel.This time, softer.Almost frightened.Are you alone?Hazel's heart tightened.She remembered the white room.The rain.Jae holding her hand.The black door.And something behind it.Something she had been terrified of.But now the voice didn't sound dangerous.It sounded like a child waiting for someone to come back.Hazel whispered,“No.”The voi
