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
It was exactly thirty minutes since Elise left the house and just then She walked in with Elvis. Their entrance eluded Kelvin's expectation. He and David expected Elvis to walk in with a frown on her face but rather he and Vicki were laughing, however Elvis' smile soon faded when he spotted them."Here he is, just as promised," Vicki said as she turned to Elvis. "You know what to do," He heaved a sigh as he drifted his gaze to Kelvin and the rest of them. "I know it was my fault. I was the one who pushed Felix thereby keeping Thomas in his current condition and I am sorry. Vicki told me you all found out a way to bring Thomas back and you need my help so if there is anything i can do to fix Thomas, I am here and I will do it," Immediately after his comment Kelvin embraced him. "You have nothing to be sorry about, you are one of us and you will always be," He said then turned to Vicki. "Great job Vicki, you have proven yourself worthy of honour and more labour," He said."Thank you s
"Shit!" Elvis muttered as he heaved a sigh. Still in deep frustration he felt someone's arm on his left shoulder accompanied by his weight on the bench.He lifted his head off his knees only to realize Danny was staring at him."Hi Elvis, I have been expecting you," he said."I'm sorry it's been a while, I have been occupied for sometime now," Elvis replied."I know. I heard about the appearance of the one who has the dragon flame, it's a complete disaster," Danny said."Do you know anything about that flame?" Elvis asked."Just a little. I heard it's an ancient flame which Is supposed to appear as a sign that the apocalypse is near," Danny answered."If you know about it then you must also be aware that the last runner has appeared," Elvis said."I know, the rumour was all over the city. I heard his name is Thomas," Danny said.Elvis was glad that at least convincing him will no longer be a problem since he was current about things going on in the kingdom. Everyone liked Thomas so he
Elvis had no idea what Danny meant by his last statement but he knew it could be a good thing or a bad one."What do you mean by your days of hiding are over?" Elvis asked."I have to leave this kingdom,""Why?" "Do you expect that the king carry me into his arms like some runner who he will love and cherish. If the king knows who i am he will certainly kill me," He replied.Elvis furrowed his eyebrows at his comment. "That is not true. The king never said he wants you dead," "It's only a matter of time before you realize it. The king knows that as long as my kind remains he will always receive opposition to set you back your world," "Well you don't have to worry about leaving so soon because the king will not lay his finger on you, because he needs your help and in fact we all do," Elvis said. When he saw the confused look on Danny's face he explained in more detail. "The last runner is in a critical condition. He has been burned with the dragon flame. We have done our research an
Danny hadn't heard about that part before, he never knew that their existence was a coincidence. All these years I have been lied to? he thought to himself. The light fairies have always recited their beliefs that they were made out of the light of the dimensions. They have always considered themselves among one of the indigenes but it was all lies. The reason for their existence was because of a curse.Danny reasoned within himself, he was sure that the king wasn't telling a lie because he had also heard stories about the great king who has lived for many years without aging. All these years the light fairies had made him believe it was a blessing but have kept the truth that it was more of a curse.Despite the circumstances he could not allow his kind to die like that. Even though they were not supposed to exist, now they are in existence, they have a heart, a mind and desire, many of his kind wants to live including himself."I will help you save the last runner like I have promised
Danny's terms were so direct that it freaked them out. Elise and Silas were not an exception because they knew they had not arrived in a part of the mirror dimension which takes them off without them drifting away willingly.Silas knew that whatever it was that they will go through from henceforth, it will be traumatized.Who knows, they may encounter a loved one or lost loved one or even something worse and feeling something pulling you away from an incident you were willing to prevent in the original world, that was one of the most painful experiences anyone could have.After hearing and encouraging themselves, David turned again to Danny and said. "At this point you are our eyes and ears, lead us and make no mistakes because our survival depends on it,"Things played out exactly as they were told, to Elise and Silas it was challenging but they got over it easily but for Elvis and David it was more complicated.As soon as Danny forged ahead David saw a large mountain ahead, it was co
Silas, Elise, David and Danny's eyes were on him. They had been watching him for a while now and it was so crazy seeing him fight with a rope.Elise couldn't hold back herself from laughing and when Elvis realized that he had been making a fool of himself the whole time he felt intimidated."Why are you laughing?" Elvis said to her."No, I'm not," She replied but her countenance was full of it."You all had similar experiences so you should stop staring at me like I'm crazy," Elvis ran his gaze at them."We definitely went through similar cases but yours was lengthy and we almost thought you had gone mad," David said as Elise burst out in laughter, she couldn't hold it in anymore. "You don't have to be pissed but I wonder the kind of memory you were having, who on earth will be fighting with a rope," Silas sprained his eyebrows as they all turned around to see Danny untiring the rope which was tied around his waist."What are you doing?" Elvis asked."We won't be needing the rope for
"What is the idea?" Danny requested."You mentioned earlier that the Light fairies didn't have a shield back then but now they have one, that should mean something but keeping whatever it means aside, you also mentioned that from what you know about your kind, they hate being restricted, which means that they should make an exception," "Are you suggesting that only light fairies can make it pass the shield, because if you are I must admit that is a crazy assumption," Elise interrupted Silas."It's not crazy Elise, it could be that Danny can pass through the shoulder without being hurt but we can't," Silas said.As soon as he made his claim Elise was about objecting but Danny stopped them. "I think Silas is right," He said. "I remember that may father told me something similar to this when I was still a child, long before he got into any conflict with our kind," "So you are saying that you will be walking past that shield which just chopped a stick in half," Elise asked.From her tone
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
