With the address Oliver had texted him, Thomas was able to locate Felix's home but when they arrived the place was so quiet. There were no neighbours around as it was almost like the place had been vacated.

Thomas summoned courage as he knocked on the door several times but there wasn't any response.

"Don't you think he and his family had vacated the house?" Elise said.

"It looks like it," Thomas agreed. He glanced on the floor perplexed.

"What do you think we should do?"

"I have no idea Elise, this was our only option. if he had boarded a flight then we can't find him, you saw the crowd at the airport," Thomas replied.

When they were about to leave Thomas picked up a cracking sound from inside the house so he stopped.

Elise confirmed she also heard the noise so they knocked again but no one was coming to open up the door.

Thomas and Elise parted ways as they moved to either side of the flat and began calling Felix's name. After a long time without response Thomas broke through the d

    "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

    Just as we had agreed, the next phase is a trip to New York city to find Silas, we have no idea what will become of us but we are sure about one thing, we have to find him. Thomas thought to himself.They had already arrived at the boundary between Jersey city and New York city and while driving in Thomas wondered at the great ruin that was done in the city.The place was desolate and there was no sound of anything alive."This place is freaky, I don't think we should have come here in the first place," Felix breaks the silence."We are already here and there is no going back," Thomas said with a glimpse at Felix and Elise who were looking out through the side windows."Do you even have a clue where you are taking us?" Felix turned to Thomas."No I don't, I am waiting for you two to bring up your suggestions," He answered and Elise turned to him.Her eyes were glaring hilariously. "Don't tell me that you are being serious," She said.They didn't expect him to have brought them to a ci

    '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

    Silas followed him far away from the environment until they arrived at a less noisy place, and he watched the man walk Into a large temple. Throughout the time he arrived there he had not spotted anything that was whole, everything was wrecked but he couldn't figure out why the temple wasn't ruined and the place was free of the aliens.Silas carefully followed the man inside the building. The place was clean and very beautiful. There were large bulbs hanging on the ceiling and melodious music filled the air."Wow…," Silas whispered, then looked forward again to the man who walked into the next room, shutting the door behind him. Silas followed suit as he tried to open the door but he couldn't lay hold on it which got him curious.The first time he saw the man he didn't seem like a human because those creatures couldn't harm nor see him but how was he able to open a door?Silas seemed perplexed but there was only one way to find out.Silas passed through the door and he couldn't believ

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

"I think these are your friends?" "Yeah, they are," "The chairs in the passenger's compartment are filled up… but the only way you will be able to board the plane is if…" "Don't worry, anything will d

    Special, what is it about me that seems so special? Thomas thought to himself. It was their goal to return home but from Ben's description it was the last runner that was predestined to complete the task so they had to find whoever he is and the answer to that might be with the king which they are on a journey to meet.To Thomas, 'The last runner,' is the true definition of special and not him."What about you, how did you meet Elise?" Thomas asked Jake whose eyes were still on him."Well… remember when I told you I knew Elise was a tough one." "Yeah,""I actually found that out on our first encounter. The first day i set my eyes on her I loved her, I knew she had feelings for me but was only playing hard to get," Thomas furrowed his eyebrows circumspectly and said. "Well how sure were you about that?" "She confessed when I decided to stop going after her," He answered.Wow! That was too much for Thomas, A girl's confession?

    Later in the day, when he had slept to his satisfaction he walked out of his room. Stretching himself he went downstairs in search of his father and when he was halfway he heard chattering sounds coming from outside the house.He quickly opened the door and right on his doorstep was a crowd of reporters.He looked around the compound only to realize that everything was fixed."It's him, It is Thomas Celso," One of the reporters alarmed the others as they all left Tony and headed toward him instead."Can you please tell us what your role in the just resolved case was. We all heard that you played the role of Clark Kent…" While the reporters went on Tony walked up to Thomas as he carried him inside then shut the door."Dad, what's going on?" Thomas asked."Don't ask me that. I don't how it happened but you and your friends are all over the news now. Especially you, Thomas," Tony replied."What about the stuff we were supposed to fix, who did the work?" "The news about you got to the ear

    "How do we stop Xander?" Andy said to Dylan who was now determined to help him and Thomas."I will take you to Xander as a captive. We have to play the game perfectly. Like you said Tony and his children are in a fight with Xander and I know if we don't get there in time someone might be killed. When we arrive, you have to give Thomas an eye signal to refrain from any violent action. When that is done I will make Xander bring you all to this place where we will chain you up to that rod," Dylan said as he pointed at a large iron rod a few feet away. "What if Xander refuses to bring us here?" Andy said."I will do my best but if Thomas is as smart as you said he is then he will pick up the signal. I am sure that Xander loves a contest. When you are chained up I must still act like I am on their side. I will offload their guns and your friend Thomas has to kindle a fire in between us. I have to test their limits, I have to know if they are truly going to kill me when I disagree to follow

    Some minutes earlier….During the time Thomas’s elder brother and Father were approaching the guards who held Thomas down on his knees, Andy took Emily and Laura around the shadows as he instructed them to lay low until the time to act comes up."I will be back, take care of yourselves," Andy said before running off to the site where he intended to jeopardize the system connections that Xander and his colleagues had put together for the experiment.Upon his arrival he spotted Dylan waiting just a few feet from the portal that they intended to open."You made it," Andy said as soon as he enclosed on Dylan."I received your text message and after the little explanation you gave me I think I would like to know more… So tell me, what did your friend Thomas see?" Dylan asked."Like I said before, something happened the night you and your colleagues came to capture Thomas’s parents. Last night he was struck down by lightning and he was taken to a different dimension where he saw many things

    It was a perfect triangle. The three colleagues had finally turned against each other. They knew that Thomas had planted a seed of mistrust among them but no matter what they perceived they couldn’t put the gun down. The guards who were present were also unable to do anything since Dylan had a gun pointed at Xander."Smart act Thomas," Xander said. "Even though you are tied up you still manages to play with our minds," "You think this is a joke?" Thomas said with a serious face. "This is serious and with time you will know that I am trying to save you all. The fact you have those guns pointed at each other shows that there is a presence of good even in the midst of your dark thoughts," Thomas responded with a serious face."Even after causing this havoc you are still filling us with your flattery," Xander said."Put the gun down Xander," Dylan said to him. "The kid is right, I should have realized this soon. This was a terrible idea," "So you are the unstable person among us," Edward

    "Everything will be fine Ashley, I promise," Thomas encouraged her."You have to stop this. Edward please… If you have a heart, let the child go. Please," Tony pleaded but Edward hardened his heart."The moon is already up, let's go," Edward said."So finally this is your true nature," Thomas said when they were about to leave and they stopped then looked back at him."My father trusted you and we his children received you in like we will receive our own uncle. You watched us grow. You ate with us and even played soccer a few times with me and my elder brother. How did you become this person?" Thomas said, furrowing his eyebrows as he stared at Edward like a complete stranger."This is where you are getting it wrong. Everything you saw me do and you thought about was never because I loved any of you or even Tony. I was close to you all because then we saw Tony as a brother. Those love was because of sacrifice and without it you all mean nothing to me. You are all equal with a lamb and

    "Xander, we have to commence with the experiment," Edward said to Xander who was still attempting to know what Thomas was hiding, however the more he delved into the conversation the more curious Xander became.It was Thomas’s game, he now wields Xander’s heart in his hand while he drives him through a maze which only he knows the exit.Thomas was perplexed but deep down he was enjoying the moment however that was not until Edward made that comment. The hallucination he had put Xander into was about to be wrecked."Don't you dare interrupt me again. We still have time whereas Dylan isn't here with the tech," Xander said, agitated by Edward's fear."We both know that this experiment can be carried out with or without the use of the tech," Edward answered but ignoring him Xander turned to Thomas again."Xander…" Edward groaned once more and hearing him Xander approached him fiercely and a quarrel burst out among them.While Xander and Edward were in dispute Matt and Tony snuck out of hid

    The chain was locked with a key. The place was dark and if not that he was with a torchlight it would have been difficult to know who they were."Good evening sir," Andy said the moment he spotted Tony."What is good about the evening, whereas who are you?" Laura said rudely.Andy immediately flashed the torchlight on his face. "I am a good friend of your brother Thomas and I am here to rescue you," Andy replied."You made the wrong choice to come here because you will end up like us," Laura spoke up again."That is enough, I think I remember him," Emily interrupted Laura. "Please forgive her rude attitude," "There is no need for the apology ma'am. Thomas has told me how he and his sister constantly run into conflict. If I am being truthful, I expected worse," Andy said and Matt immediately giggled, placing his clenched fist against his mouth in order to prevent the sound from coming out louder although they all heard him giggle. Andy’s comment left Laura stunned and short of words t

    After several attempts they pinned him to the floor. One of them was about to strike him but Xander stopped him with a hand signal."Don't do it, he is only a minor," Xander said to the guard then looked at Thomas again. "Hmm… What were you thinking to come here on your own, Thomas? Did you think that you could beat us and rescue your sister?" "Leave her alone you freak! She is only ten years old," Thomas said angrily.Xander laughed. "It's perfect. Haven't you heard that the most little ones have the purest blood," He said and hearing him Thomas groaned, struggling to set himself free from their grip."You should be glad because your sister will be able to serve a higher purpose," "If you lay your hand on her I'll kill you!" Thomas exclaimed. "Thomas," Ashley called with tears in her eyes.When Thomas saw her tears his blood steamed within him.He drifted his gaze up to Edwards face. The moment he saw the lack of piety in his eyes he was immediately disgusted. He couldn’t imagine t

    "What is on your mind?" Andy interrupts Thomas's thought."Nothing," he sprained his eyebrows slightly then looked forward again."I can see through you Thomas. You are scared. You are scared that you might fail everyone," Andy hesitated. "You have nothing to fear because you will save them and when you do you will be rewarded and known as a hero. Your fame will spread so wide that you will forget your sorrow at this Moment,""No," Thomas interrupted. "No one should know about this. When it's over, it is best we return to our normal life and forget that any of this ever happened,""Why will you say that?" Andy asked with his face wrinkled in curiosity."What do you think will happen when the world discovers a reality like this one? We live in a world of mixed races. A time where people's hearts are darkened with desire to do evil. If they find out that the multiverse is real then that will lead to many acts of madness,"Andy jerked immediately after Thomas’s words. "You are a very stra
