The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter thirty four : The agreement
Why would people be this heartless? How could they be so cruel? Thomas clenched his fist tightly while listening to the conversation between his fathers so-called fellow staff who were all discussing their families and laughing."Alright, that's enough, we have to go back to the subject of our conversation," Xander stopped them as they all agreed. "We were speaking about reopening the fourth portal," "Yes, we were," another answered."There are a few requirements if the portal must be reopened. If we must open the portal we will have to seek for another key and luckily for us I have found one,""Who is that?" Edward asked Xander as Xander took out a picture then slid it over to him.Edward handed the picture to the next person then turned back to Xander and said. "What is his name?" He asked."The child's name is Max," Xander answered. "He has similar blood like that of our first victim and with his blood the portal would never be closed again but it will be an interaction between th

"Deal," Dylan said as he exchanged handshakes with Thomas.Together they left the hotel and Dylan offered to take Thomas on a ride as they headed for the mountains where the fourth portal was.During the ride Thomas saw Dylan staring at him through the rear-view mirror and he could do nothing but get curious and he decided to steal the moment and find out a little about why Dylan had accepted to join them in performing such wickedness eventhough he hated the idea."It's complicated, it was never what I intended," Dylan wrenched his face like he was perplexed. "I never wanted to do it but I had no other choice,""What do you mean by that? Of course we all have the right to make choices," Thomas interrupted.Dylan however heaved a sigh as he looked at the rear-view mirror again and said. "I know I had a choice to make and I made a wrong choice because if I didn't, the life of my son and that of my wife will be at stake. My child would have not lived up to this day if I had not agreed to

"Dylan…" Thomas called. "Dylan!" He called again but there was silence and Thomas immediately figured out that he was in trouble."No," He muttered as he forced his way out of the car boot to inside the passenger's seat. He tried to open the doors but they were all locked up and just then he heard Dylan's voice."I am sorry Thomas, I meant all I said earlier but I can't betray my colleagues, I have already gone too far to quit now," Dylan said.Immediately after his statement Thomas saw Xander and Edward walk up to Dylan's side and just then he realized that Dylan didn't call him by what he said his name was but he called him by his real name."How did you find out that Thomas was my real name?" Thomas asked."I am not a child Thomas, I knew right from the beginning that you were lying about your identity. I saw the grief on your face when I was telling you about my family," "You lied…" Thomas interrupted staring at Dylan as he was unconscious of Xander and Edward who were standing o

It was far beyond doom, it was far beyond an apocalypse. it was more of an irreversible curse, one which they will have to suffer until the race of humans was finally over. If this was what scientists predicted to happen to the human race in the nearest future then Thomas was not interested in science anymore, he would give it all up, it was never, and will never be the way to true harmony and peace.These creatures are not to have existed. Thomas thought to himself.After many miles of ride away from the noise, deeper into the city he arrived at his house. He checked the time and it was almost three a.m. In the morning, everyone was feeling relaxed and it was so quiet and empty outside his neighbourhood.They all didn't have a clue of what was coming but the only safe thing to do was alarm them. Thomas picked up the sharp object he had used to start the car as he began to smash it on the glass until it finally shattered.Thomas crept out of the car then he rushed into his house, hasti

Tony and Matt left that spot immediately as he walked back to Thomas, Emily and Laura."Goodness Thomas, what are those?" Matt asked."This is beyond your control Thomas, and I don't think we can defeat these creatures with these weapons so we should all head on to the attic," Tony commanded as they followed. Tony made them go inside the attic but he remained outside and when he was about to close it Emily stopped him."What are you doing Sweetheart?" she asked."You all should stay inside, I need to get some things, I'll be back I promise," Tony closed the attic then ran off heading for his room. As soon as he entered the room he went straight to his cupboard where he usually keeps most of his chemicals. He took many of them which were capable of creating explosions and some other electrical appliances, putting them inside a large bag he rushed back to the attic with it.Tony joined his family inside as he locked it up then turned to Matt and said. "Come over here. You can connect wi
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

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

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
