"Why is everyone acting out? All of a sudden Silas became powerful, secondly Thomas is now the last runner, just when I thought it's all over Elvis psychic ability evolved and Felix is missing," Jerry said."He is just missing, he had the dragon flame In him," they were interrupted by a deep voice as they all looked towards the door to see a tall young man about Kelvin's age."I know you, you are the leader of the fire department," Elise said."Yes I am," he replied walking towards them as he and Kelvin exchanged handshakes. "My name is Zero,""Wow, such an interesting name," Jerry said."It's nice to meet you Zero, I am Kelvin, and these are my students who I can't introduce all to you at the moment," Kelvin said as he withdrew his hand."There are no issues as long as I know who you are and can easily recognise faces," He replied."So you were the last one who was witnessed with Felix, do you have any idea where he went?" Kelvin asked."If I did, I would not be standing before you r
"Please, you have to stop right now. You have no idea what you are doing. You are wrong about him and all this," Felix groaned in pain but Elvis went on inflicting more pain in him."Save your flattery to yourself,""It's no flattery. Felix is innocent whereas we haven't seen him in person for years now," Kelvin screamed again. "You can resolve this without having to hurt me, you can confirm if i am telling the truth by reading my mind," "Do you think I will be hurting you right now if I can read your mind? Well the truth is that I have no access to your mind because its empty,""Elvis!" He was interrupted by a female voice as he turned around to see Vicki approaching."Elvis you have to stop!" She exclaimed when she got close to them. "This isn't you so stop it right now, please," "I decide who I am," He said to her then glanced back to Klaus. "Let's say you got lucky today. Stay out of my way because i will kill you the next time i set my eyes on you,"Immediately after his comme
When Obed saw Vicki he was about to react but Anastasia stopped him. "There is no need to fight her, she doesn't seem like a threat to me because I can squash her in a second," She said."What have they done?" Vicki muttered Still with her eyes fixed on the king."Vicki, I think you made a mistake and you are scared but I'll forgive you. You can go," Anastasia said but Vicki's eyes were still on Hagan."Vicki you better run along now, this fight is for adults and not children," Anastasia said.Anastasia's comment threw a wave of disgust at her. It was one among a few times someone had ever undermined her. She was not going to take that insult as if it never mattered."Don't you dare talk to me like I am your pet!" Vicki scolds her.Her tone startled Obed, because looking at her a few seconds ago anyone could tell that she was frightened but right now she was acting like someone brave."Such an interesting personality. Take care of her Obed, I don't have time for child's play," Anastas
Thomas returned to his apartment to meet Klaus who was still alone. He had to question him about why Felix was missing and what the king meant."Is the king okay?" Klaus asked as soon as Thomas walked in."Yes," He answered. "Do you know why everyone is disorderly?" "It's all about your friend, Felix," Klaus replied."What about him?""He is missing and they are all searching for him because he has the dragon flame," Klaus answered."What is a dragon flame?" "I have limited knowledge about it. As far as I know it's a legendary flame which existed in this place long before the appearance of runners," Klaus replied."What!" Thomas exclaimed in a whisper as she left for the exit door."Where are you going? Wait there is something else you have to know about him," Klaus said but before he could complete his statement Thomas had already left the room.Thomas reasoned all possible places where Felix could be and only one place made enough sense. He had to be in the cave which Elvis had sh
The first thought that came to the king's mind was to search for Thomas, it would be difficult to do that if he was to look around for him so he closed his eyes and with his senses he looked, tracing the sound of their voices but none matched that of Thomas."Hagan," Kelvin called to get his attention as he opened his eyes. "Have you seen Thomas, Vicki told me that you were the last person she saw with him," "That's is right. I sent him to go in search of Felix, I haven't seen him since then," Hagan answered."Elvis," They were both interrupted by a loud voice as they looked to see Elvis staggering his way towards the palace.Kelvin took to his feet running to meet him and the rest of his teammates followed suit. They caught up with each other as Elvis fell on his neck then burst out In tears."Elvis what's wrong," Kelvin asked. Elvis wept a while longer and when the king and the others arrived before them, he pulled his neck away from the side of Kelvin's shoulder. "I didn't mean t
"Let him go," Silas said to Elise when she was about to go after Felix. "We have more serious issues to deal with at the moment, he needs time alone," Immediately after his comment Elise looked forward to Kelvin who was still seated with his chin resting on his hands. Ever since they gathered there Kelvin hadn't said a word, not even during Felix's explanation of his cruelty."Why aren't you saying anything, Kelvin? Is all hope lost?" Elise asked.Kelvin heaved a sigh as he lifted his gaze to her. "We all heard the king's comment, he is much older than us and must have heard a lot about this incident but I don't think we will give up on Thomas either. I can't spend many more years waiting for the appearance of another runner, we will make sure he gets better because i have a plan,"They were all strengthened by his comment. It never mattered what the king thinks because as long as Kelvin thinks its possible to restore Thomas to health then it is."What is the plan?" David asked.Earl
Now she knew that things had become more serious than she expected. There was still much to do and being killed by hanging wasn't the way she wanted to end.She moved her chin sideways and after a brief hesitation she explained."I don't know how to restore his health but from the historical books I have read about this place I know a clan who can. They are Indigenes and are called the light fairies but you should be careful because they are not friendly to outsiders," "No indigene is friendly to outsider so go on," Hagan said."Trust me my king these ones are a thousand times more dangerous than anything you have ever seen, they reside outside this dimension and to be more precise they are the controllers of the mirror dimension," She answered.Kelvin and David recalled that the mirror dimension was one dimension in which Thomas, Silas and most of them had the most horrible experience. If there was anyone who could educate them on what t9 expect, it was Silas."Don't worry, we will
When Vicki walked out of the school she didn't know where to start. She barely know much about Elvis since they had not engaged in any real conversation but she knows one thing for sure and that is the fact that he could consider seeing things from other people's point of view.The only way to find out where he was is to start looking so she searched all the possible places Felix had been with them in the kingdom but of all the places he was nowhere to be found.She thought about heading into the woods but considering things better she knew that Elvis was not the type that likes venturing into the wild, he loved gathering and having fun with others. She had to find the answer so she thought about what could have connived to cause the clash he had with Kevin and David, she had no idea about that so she thought on their tone and it related only one message and that was guilt. Where would someone like Elvis go when he was feeling guilty and blaming himself for his wrong actions? she tho
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
