The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter twenty nine : the mirror world
Thomas made it through the portal with his colleagues and when he looked forward he couldn't believe his sight. It was the stunning place he saw when he first arrived in the formidable world. "This is not a portal, I think we just entered one of the four dimensions," Elise said.Thomas recognised the place, everything acted in opposite to how it should be and the place was noisy, he felt like he just entered into Ashley's cartoon world.It was a complicated Modern world with impossible beings. Since when do cars and trains fly, since when were the foundations of buildings and large estates built on air."Are you sure we aren't just imagining this or maybe someone is playing on our minds," Felix said."I don't think this is an imagination, Felix. I have seen this before, it's just how things work here," Thomas answered.The place was so complicated that they didn't even know where to go so Thomas had to check the map again. From the map they had to journey to an institution where the

Thomas wept hard as his father wrapped his hands more firmly around him. "It's really my son, it's Thomas," Tony whispered.Tony carried Thomas into his office in the skyscrapers as he offered him a seat and a glass of water.Thomas confirmed the office to be the same as the one he knew but what he still could understand was why everything was opposite to normal.He hoped that his father would understand his curiosity and because he had a lot of questions to ask as so did his father. "Are you hungry?" Tony asked."No, thanks I'll be fine," He answered as he had a sip of water then lifted his eyes to his father who walked down to his office chair opposite him.Tony stared at his son for a while then said. "What really happened to you Thomas, we have been searching for you for the past two years now. Where have you been?" Thomas was perplexed by his father's question. From all he could see it was really weird but he understood that with time he would find out the truth."I have no ide
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter thirty one : The true villains
As soon as they walked out of the company Thomas recalled that he had not asked his father about the mystery of this place and why they weren't standing on the floor rather everything was on air. When he finally asked him his father gazed at him like he was a psychopath.Tony's response was so weird and Thomas couldn't believe that after that answer he was still standing right next to him; Tony had said that things had been that way from the start, he even went further to say that Thomas was the one acting strange.Tony took it lightly but to Thomas it was a serious problem however his love for his family propelled him to ignore it.Some minutes later Tony pulled over in front of their house as they both came out of the car. Thomas confirmed it to be their house but suspended on air it looked so stupid to him.The garden which was a spot he and Ashley usually play was no longer there, rather it was some meters downwards."What are you waiting for, come on," Tony beckoned with his hand
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter thirty two : Glimpse into future tragedy
Thomas swallowed hard when he heard Xander’s judgment. Now he was not only faced with his family's insanity and the weirdness of the New York city he knew but his life was also at stake."Did he mention anything about his sister Ashley?" Xander asked Edward and Thomas listened more attentively."I have no idea. I didn't meet up with them on time to hear what they were discussing but even though he told his father about it none of them will believe a word he said," Edward answered."I think that should not be our concern at the moment. The little girl Ashley is dead. We took her that night during the thunderstorm and we used her for the experiment and that was what created this magic. Even though Thomas knows or he is ignorant, none if that will bring his sister back to life," one of them interfered.Thomas was startled when he heard those words, his eyes spring wide and his heart began to race sporadically. He wasn't sure if he heard correctly or it was an illusion.Ashley is dead and
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter thirty three : Spy
Thomas picked up suspicions, it was absolutely obvious that something wasn't right but he must find out what it was.There is so much to do, where do I start? He thought to himself and perplexed by the occurrences he left the room.Thomas went down to the sitting room as he saw his father already dressed up for work and his mother walked out through the first floor passage into the sitting room, She was also dressed officially which was unlike how he knew things to be. Thomas knew that as far as he could remember Emily wasn't working and he had known her that way ever since he was little and that was Tony's decision so that got him curious."Good morning," Thomas greeted to have their attention as they stopped their hasty movements and turned around to see him."Oh sweetheart, I didn't see you there," Emily said. " How was your night?" "Great but, why are you dressed up so seriously?" He asked her.Emily wrenched her face like his question was weird and she said. "What do you mean b
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

Chapter one hundred and eighty four: Endowed with honour
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

Chapter one hundred and seventy six: My sister, the key
"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
