The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter thirty nine : Race to safety
That night was a night Thomas would never forget, a night he saw his family murdered brutally and his city turn into a place of torment, the voice of crying, wailing and even many innocents slain. If only the hand of the clock could be rewind he would have done better, he would not have trusted Dylan, things would have been done differently.Under the moonlight he could see his elder brother's hands quivering on the steering and his lips trembling.He didn't stop the car to take a break until the sun fully came up, they had no idea where they were going but Thomas knew Matt was taking them as far away from New York City as possible."We should take a break Matt," Thomas said.Matt didn't answer a word not until Thomas repeated himself. "No Thomas, we can't stay here,""I said stop the car Matt, goodness you don't even have a clue where you are taking us!" Thomas said aloud and Matt held the brake screeching the car wheels to the side of the road."Get out!" Matt said."What?""I said

"Oh my goodness Matt!" Oliver exclaimed but Matt instructed he kept his voice low."Please, you have to help us," Oliver runs his hand through his hair, pondering on what he had just heard. "Accommodating the two of you will not be a big deal to me but my father is super protective about who he let's into his home," "Please… I know you can talk him into it," Matt pleaded."It's okay, you should give me a minute," Oliver said. He stood up from the chair as he left upstairs."Do you think this will work?" Thomas asked his elder brother."I have no clue Thomas, let's just pray it does," He answered.Thomas and his elder brother waited for about ten minutes and afterwards they saw Oliver returning to the sitting room with his father. Oliver's father sat on the chair opposite him and he demanded to know why they wanted to stay at his home.Matt explained it all to him and to confirm if all he said was true Oliver's father turned on the television and the incident which was taking place in

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

Elise rubbed her palms against each other as she walked towards an empty wardrobe which was by her left side then opened it up with a smile at the young man she had put in a similar bag.She carried the bag out of the cupboard as she dragged it along to the place Matt and Thomas were.Elise observed the size of the bags and from her observation she exchanged the one she had brought out of the cupboard to the one she supposed Thomas was put inside.She put the bag Thomas was inside the Wardrobe then closed it up."I am sorry and I know this will hurt but it's for the best," Elise said.Raphael and Oliver's parents were already getting impatient about Elise being left alone in the room and the silence was creeping the hell out of Oliver."What is she still doing inside there?" Raphael whispered to himself as she checked the time on his wrist watch. It was almost time for the passengers to start boarding the plane."Goodness, I don't have time for this, I'm going In," Oliver's father push
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter forty three : Reunion part one
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

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

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

Chapter one hundred and eighty three: Game over
"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

Chapter one hundred and eighty two: alliance behind the scene
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

Chapter one hundred and eighty one: Mistrust and the Deadly triangle
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

Chapter one hundred and seventy seven: Deadly plan and the risk worth taking
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
