Oliver continued packing things up and Thomas and Matt assisted him. Some hours later they were done making the arrangements and Oliver decided to use the moment to call his parents and know what was going on."Hello, Dad," Oliver said."Hello son," "What is going on and have you been able to book the flight?" he asked.He could hear his father's distressed exhale over the phone and there was no doubt that what was coming was bad news."The airport is filled up Oliver, and from the look of things the flight might not work out but there is no need to worry because I am currently trying as much as possible to make this work and I won't stop until I do," His father replied.When Oliver was about speaking he was interrupted by his father again. "Just give me a moment Oliver, I think I have sight on someone to talk to," His father said and afterwards he hung up."Shit!" Oliver exclaimed, taking the phone away from his ear."What is the problem?" Matt asked."It's my father, he said that

While Thomas and Elise were seated together they were interrupted by a disturbance as they looked up to see the street projectors turned on and almost everyone who were around were staring up at the news which was being reported.The breaking news was regarding the alien species and how they had broken through the New York boundaries and all security which the government had provided to ensure that the city is protected."They are already in Jersey City," Thomas muttered."Don't look at these things, they are only illusions. All we have to do now is find Felix, Silas and Ben so that we will leave this place because remaining here will only make things more critical," Elise said."Come, I know how to find Felix," Thomas jerked up and Elise followed him. Together they stole a man's car as they left the airport and on their way to Oliver's house Thomas demanded to know how Elise found out that it was all an illusion."After you left, I watched Felix and Silas leave in similar manner and

"I see," Thomas said to the manager after his comment. He would have considered taking the man out of his foolishness if only anything they were currently experiencing was true. He wasn't real but the only way to save him was to take the details of what resulted in his wife and child's death because only then can he help him."I think you should just wrap this up so that we can leave," Thomas said."What about my money? Your pay is twenty nine thousand dollars," He said."I'm sorry sir but we don't have any money to pay for these, let's admit it, there is no point taking money for these because the world is currently in chaos," Felix answered. His words attracted Elise and Thomas's attention because that wasn't how they wanted the game to be played.It was even worse as the manager seemed startled by his plane statement."What did you just say?" The man frowned at Felix.Thomas took the initiative to grab the guns away from the table but they were immediately interrupted by crunching

'I hope it doesn't turn out to be like he had said, I hope it's not real, please let it be false if not we will be doomed for sure. What did I do exactly,' Elise thought to herself."Turn right!" She exclaimed.Thomas turned the steering at her command as they continued the ride and some hours later he stopped the car.Elise opened the door quickly as she jerked out of the car and Thomas and Felix followed her. They headed right into the woods, venturing deeper until they finally stopped at a point."What is wrong Elise? What are you doing?" Thomas asked."Silas was buried six feet beneath this ground, we have to be quick!" She bent down then began scratching the floor and Felix joined her.Thomas left them there as he rushed back to the car, he opened the boot to see if he could find anything he could use to bore a hole more quickly but there was none so he headed back to meet Elise and Felix again."Thomas you have to run ahead of us, about ten meters away you will find a cabin, go

49Instruments still playing….'I have thought about it and have made my decision, I hope this decision doesn't sting me in the end, I hope this was the right choice. outside these buildings lies great ruin and frightening views but It's better I spend the rest of my life searching for my friends who Austin calls illusion. If being with Kelvin, Thomas and the rest of my friends is an illusion then I would rather be with them than remain in this castle,' Silas thought to himself as he walked into the main hall.All eyes were on him while he was approaching Austin who was seated on his chief seat."Good morning Silas," Austin said obliviously. his hands tapping on the soft chair and his eyes wavering while dangling his tongue behind his teeth. His guide who was standing beside him realized Austin's insecurities so he handed him a glass of water which he drowned immediately then turned again to Silas."I am sure you have come up with your decision," He said, handing the glass back to hi
