Chapter 2. The Surprising truth.

"R-a-y-m-o-n-d…!!!" Mr. Hayden, timely swivels into action. Immediately, Raymond was saved and stopped from hitting his head on the floor. "Raymond, what were you thinking? you would have harm yourself in what you just performed," Raymond's Dad had the thought of Raymond intentionally doing the fall to get his attention. "Dad! it wasn't me i promise. something dragged me down, i couldn't understand how, or know what it was, i just slipped down. i am sure it tried to kill me. I don't think we can last longer than now Dad, i just want to go home! please!, and people!!." Right, at that moment, Raymond had already started shaking with fear, in his eyes, it would be seen, it seemed because he perceived danger ahead, and it could be told from his body movement. He had never been that frightened before in his entire life. Eventually, the hidden truth had to be told before then…

"Dad! why don't you say something, anything?" Raymond cried out for answers from his father. The thought had risen from the previous points that it was, nothing could be done. The mess wouldn't have gotten that wrong if he hadn't been so careless about the software on the game systems. "I'm sorry, we are all in this mess, i brought this upon us. from the very start, i knew something was wrong, i couldn't place my hands on who exactly it was. But now, I'm setting, it's all my creations!"

"What do you mean by, your creations? Oh, wait a minute, you knew what was happening, from the very start?"

"Yes, I did, and i'm so sorry for putting us in this. I've learned to leave with it. I really can't change the past few weeks we and every one in the country is facing. We just have to battle it out" he frowned in regret at his actions. "So what are we going to do now?" Raymond asked.

'The surprising truth!'

Instead, of answering the questions that were put before him, Raymond and Eily's fascinating in glanceding at him as it was obvious that they didn't know what he was saying. He stood up, lost in his own thoughts, and  turned around looking and scouring his mind for explanations. He had thought about thee numerous configurations and fragments of the tournament fiction, and an inkling immediately whacked up in his head. “Dad, if this was your creation, then you must carry a clue on how to terminate it," Eily added to the questions Raymond had asked earlier. "Let him reckon it out, he conceivably knows what he's doing!" Bella, his wife, answered the question on his behalf. Hayden who stood beside the a wooden chair in the middle of the room concentrated on trying to think what the mission was all about, "Why can't i recollect anything, my head Is twirling faster by the second'' he continued asked himself for answers. He would have remembered exactly what happened in the game, after all, it was his programming of the game that governed to the mess. However, promptly before he had brought the game playstation home, he mistakenly missed his footsteps when he attempted attaining his house. The incident made him endure a head injury. Trying to remember how and when the game started, his head gave him a more painful headache every time the brain, passed through his thoughts. "Dad! Dad say something please!" Out of his inquisitiveness, he had to beg for answers. "Don't you think i'm trying my very best on this matter? all i need is a minutes of calmness from everyone, including you Raymond! for now, let me rest my head a little bit. Believe me, I'm trying my best to remember."

Shortly, after extensively silence from everyone in the room, the clues of the game came into Hayden's head, he had only some few approaches to the answer which could detail their departuree from the island house which had theem caught up from every intersection."I remember! I remember!! The clues which we need to win this level of the game. Raymond, bash thee flower-vase on the right side of the staircase, the clue is there!" he said after greatly thought. As he ordered, so did Raymond obey. Immediately, he hurriedly walked across the room and headed for the flower-vase and used his leg to kick it until it broke. It shattered open, and a piece of paper was dwelling on the sand of the flower-vase. Raymond went closer to the vase and bent down to pick up the paper. The paper was under his attention so, he opened it to see what was written on it. "The answer you are glimpsing for, dwelled inside my eyes, use your eyes and not tour mouth to find me. You have only one minute to do that before this building is melted by a volcano!!" Those were the only words written on the paper. It became confusing when they thought about it.

"What do you think this might be? Does the answer dwelled inside my eyes?!? Wow, this's unbelievable Dad, why would you do something like this huh?" Raymond squeaked. Hayden did not answer that question because he also did not understand what he meant by dwelled in my eyes. Rather, he said, to his son, "Raymond, it's much better off when we work together as a family, i too want to get off this world. You should close your eyes think what the answer could be. Maybe we all should do it right now. We don't have much time to talk about this, it's five seasons gone, and yet, we haven't seen anything!" Raymond was quite an awesome and gifted when it comes to games, he knew his father was right. It became clear thatat he was able to inderstand why the piece of paper and his Dad on the other hand, told him to close his eyes while they wait and use their brains to search for answers, something was up, maybe he got his memories back, just maybe, he did. Raymond said to himself.They remain calm and silent with eyes closed, for about a minute or so then opened it again. Raymond, walked around the room slowly trying to dorvey everything in the room bit by bit, though there was much time before they were destroyed by the erupting from the volcano.The rules were simple, the players tried to lolk for the answers and if they made a misstep on that exact level, the ground slowly broke apart from each other util all the players fell into the hot lava. But if the player or players, come across a time stone, they will go back to the past to start the mission. Raymond had proceeded to touch everything he could lay his hands on, he was then being followed by his little sister Eily. As they began to pick up the wrong things, the floors started coming apart from each other. Hayden's leg immediately got stuck by a rope that had a fire attached to it…
