They get the whirlwand in their hands. And get back all their friends. They bought back Alex, Emma, Clara and Noah. And at last was the seventh player. He appeared. And he didn't seemed like any high school kid . He looked like a middle aged Man. But a middle age man! In the game?

Seventh player: hey guys! I'm Henry! Well thanks ! I'd lose hope. But finally I can't believe I'm back.!

Aren: are you here since a teenager!?

Henry: nope! I'm inventor of this game! So, while testing this... I got trapped!

Clara: are you a software engineer? Mr. Henry Wolfard ?

Jay: who just disappeared for years from the house in coren town.?

Henry: yeah!

Clara and Jay look at each other.

Clara:(with an akward look to Henry) so, you are the ex.owner of the house.

Henry: And you are new owners of my house!?

Jay and Clara nod.

Emma: I'm Emma!

Noah: I'm Noah!

Alex: I'm Alex!

Aren: I'm Aren!

Clara: I'm Clara!

Henry stares at Alice and she stares back at him . But she doesn't utter a word. She just stares at him. It seemed that she's shocked or surprised but there's no reaction on her face.

Henry: girl what's your name?

Alice: Al.....Alice!

Henry: are you okay?

Alex: she's a wiredo! Don't mind her!

Henry: I think we should go further!

They all nod and walk along the way. They found a map which showed the location of a castle like a fairy wonderland , which said" level 6 - get the keys to rescue the queen!"They all start to follow the route of the map. And walk along.

Noah:(to Henry) sir how did you got such idea for the game.

Alex: again! News reporter!(aggressive look to Noah)

Noah ignores and continues.

Henry:(smiling) well it's nothing wrong doing that. Idea was of my daughter. It was a dream project for me and her. She always wanted to have a game in which you could feel things.

Emma: what's your daughters name?

Henry: Alice.

Everyone stares at Alice.

Emma: same !( To Alice)

Alice gives an odd smile.

Noah: so what are the challenges in the game?

Henry:So the start levels were designed to test how much you trust on each other.

Jay gives an odd look to Alice. Alice tries to pretend that it was just a guess.

Alice: what?(to Jay)

Jay: nothing!

They both look forward in the way.

Noah:(to Henry) and the rest of the levels?

Henry: I don't know! the rest of the levels where designed by Alice and created by my colleague.

Emma: how much old is your daughter?

Henry : she was 10 years old.

Emma: 10 year old! (Shockingly) I mean she designed a game! Is she is a born Einstein.?

Henry: you are much interested to know her?
She's obsessed with games and she always likes scary things! So, the theme of the game is her work! So only she knows about the challenges further! Well today she'll might be your age!

Everyone gives an odd look to Henry.

Henry: don't look at me ! The age remains the same till you end the game.

Alex: so we would never grow up!

Henry: yes!

Finally they reach the castle. But it didn't seemed like the a wonderland castle. Instead it seemed like a haunted house.

Noah: are we at a wrong place?

Alice: no.

Aren: we have to find the keys!

Henry: let's move in!

As they move in some soldier rush to them and catch hold off them. And take them to the queen. They had handcuffs on their hands. And we're moving along the soilders.

Alex whispers in Jay's ears.

Alex: queen is already here , so whom we have to rescue?

Jay: I don't know!

Alice whispers something in Aren's ear.

They are taken to the Queen's Court. They find queen sitting on the throne. And a group of courtiers sitting beside.

Courtier 1 : they seem like our enemies, your Majesty!

Queen: put them in the prison!

Alice: your majesty! We are not your enemies!( With a grin on her face)

Emma: it has been my dream to meet you! And you are so beautiful!( With an exciting voice and a fake smile)

Queen: quiet! Well I like you both! You both will be here and the rest of you ...in the prison.!

Alice blinks an eye and grins to Aren like a sign of something . And except Alice and Emma rest of them are taken to the prison. But suddenly the queen stops them . And points at Jay.

Queen:(pointing Jay) you!

Jay: me?

Queen: yeah! You! Remove his handcuff !(to the soilder)

Queen: you'll be here......! And rest of you in the prison!

Queen continues to say...

Queen: (to soilder) take three of them to the room.(to Alice, Jay and Emma) and have some rest.

They nod. The soilder takes them to the room.

Jay , Alice and Emma settle on the couch.

Jay: it was all your plan !huh!.(to Alice)
