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
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter thirty six : The fourth portal
"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

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
