Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 11 - THE GUT
Ferran was eating his breakfast when his phone rang inside the bedroom. When he picked it up, Sanchez was calling.“What’s up?”“Are you going to work or not?”“Maybe? I don’t know. My whole body aches and I’m a little bit dizzy, you know?” Ferran answered.“Well, you don’t have to go to work today. You should take your day off.” Sanchez’s worried voice could be heard on the other line.“Alright.”“And I have something to tell you tomorrow.”“What is it? Can’t you tell me now?”“I want to tell it in person and it’s confidential. Someone might hear our conversation so I’ll better end this call.”“Okay.”Since Ferran had nothing to do in the afternoon, he thought of cleaning the whole house. Throw away what should be thrown away, fix what should be fixed, clean up what should be cleaned, and when he was arranging some things on a bookshelf, he saw an upside-down photo frame.When Ferran looks at it. It was a photo captured almost 15 years ago. Hot tears fell on his cheeks while staring

“Gut feeling eh?” Sanchez asked as if he couldn’t believe his friend’s answer.Ferran didn’t respond and he could sense that maybe Sanchez doubted his innocence. Timotheus, in Simeon’s body, deceives everyone around him. So, technically, he’s not innocent in the first place.In their cubicle, Sanchez started discussing the incident last night at the hospital.“The blood found in your military knife…” Sanchez shook his head while thinking that something’s really off, before continuing. “... contains blood from a dead person.”“W-What? How did that happen?”“That question also bothers me. It’s so strange, right?” Sanchez leaned on the backrest of his swivel chair then double checked the file. “That means one thing...” They looked at each other as if they were thinking the same exact thought.“That man changed his identity.” Ferran mumbled but enough for Sanchez to hear.“This is very dangerous for you because he’ll hunt you down.”“Yeah. I know. You don’t need to remind me. It was as if

Trestan and Cally were waiting outside the operating room where Timotheus was being operated on. Cally was crying while Trestan was trying to calm her. He was so scared because of his father’s condition but stabilized himself for his sister’s sake. This scenario has been happening before but he’s still nervous.Trestan was stunned for a bit when someone tapped his shoulder so he looked at it. It was Simeon Ferran who was full of bandages. Trestan recognized the man but chose to just ignore him ‘coz he felt a little uncomfortable by Ferran’s presence. Ferran sat down next to Trestan, and just stared at the operating room’s door. Waiting for some good news about Alfarez’s situation.“Daddy will be okay, light?” Cally asked while sobbing.“Yes. He’s strong. He’ll survive. We’ll just have to wait for him to recover, so…” he paused, then wiped her sister’s tears. “... you need to stop crying ‘coz daddy might hear you and he’ll be sad.”Ferran couldn’t help but smile at what he heard from

Ferran hid behind the bushes near the pool where a crime will happen soon. It is such a waste if he will not do anything to save a person who sooner or later, will die. Besides, he already knew, why not change the outcome? He isn’t God who can do everything, but a chance was given to him. A chance that will make a difference from the original plot. He can’t miss this chance. “Stop acting like a kid, Bia.” “Is it true?” Bia asked and a tear fell on her cheek. She’s totally drunk. “You have someone else? How about me, Vinno? What am I to you?” “What if I have someone else? Don’t act like you really love me ‘coz the truth is… you’re not.” “What?” “Ria told me that you agree to marry that b*stard Eric and sooner or later you’ll break up with me.” “What kind of cr*p are you talking about? Is that the reason why you’re seeing someone else? Hm? Vinno?” He looked away, and couldn't look at his girlfriend’s pleading eyes. “That’s bullsh*t!” “I fell out of love, okay?” Vinno said inse

“Yes, we argued but I left her after that to get a drink to sober her up. When I went back, that waiter was lifting her body and I even helped them.” Vinno explained himself.“What about you Ms. Noreen Amato? Her sister, Ria D’Aboville, told us that you are very angry with Ms. Bia D’Aboville which could be the reason for you to murder her.”“What!?” Noreen can’t believe Ria’s statement. She looked at Ria with unbelief in her eyes. “I admit. I’m mad at her and thinking of erasing Bia from this world but---““Noreen…” Vinno looked at her with doubt.“See? She’s the culprit all along! She wanted my sister to die! You should put her to jail.” Ria said with anger. “You! B*tch. How dare you? My sister is your best friend! What a shameless b*tch!?”“Will anyone please hear me out first? I will never do that! And for your information, we settled our issue before I left her sitting in that sun lounger. Maybe… Maybe she tried to commit suicide for some reason. I don’t know.” Noreen was tremblin

“Did you contact your uncle?” Brenda Ferran, Blair’s mother asked.“Yes, mom. He’s on duty so he’ll probably be late for our dinner.”“Let him be. It’s work.” Simon Ferran said while driving their car to Gomez residence. Every two months, they arranged a family dinner with Gomez’s.“Your brother is such a workaholic. When does he plan to get married?” Brenda asked curiously.“When the crow turns white.” Simon smirked and Blair chuckled.“He’ll be alone forever.” Blair said.“And that’s what he chose.” Simon added.Gomez’s family was waiting for them at the front door of their house. “Good evening.” Rhiane Gomez, mother of Alexa, greeted them sweetly.“Where’s Simeon?” Alexander Gomez, the head of the Gomez’s family, asked them.“He’ll be late.” Simon answered.“Oh. What a busy man. Haha. Maybe, we should wait for him before dinner starts. It’s still early. Let’s go inside.” Alexander warmly welcomed them.“I’m sorry for that.”“Nah. It’s not a big deal. Besides, he’s part of your fam

A month later...It’s another school year for the students. One afternoon when classes were over, Trestan was walking in a hallway full of students exiting their classrooms. Trestan is one of those who huddle with students in different directions. He was in a hurry to go to the laboratory which was almost behind the school because his close professor called him to go there. Rarely do people go to that part because that building is quite old and it’s a bit creepy but Trestan is not afraid to go because he is often there after class. He looked around and checked if someone was tailing him. ‘Safe.’He entered the building and the door made a noise which seemed to be similar to those in horror movies. There is an underground passageway where the secret laboratory is located. Before entering the main laboratory, he needed his fingerprint to open the door made of steel. When he got inside, he saw the professor busy with what he was doing in an area surrounded by a glass wall. The walls

Next day came and Trestan woke up early to cook breakfast. He found his father sleeping on their couch. It looks like he just arrived a while ago and did not reach the room to sleep there. Trestan returned to the second floor to get a blanket in his father’s room then put it on his father who sleeps soundly and snores a little.He remembers how their last conversation ended. He sighed and felt guilty while looking at his dad, exhausted from work.He brewed coffee in the coffee maker, turned on the radio, listened to music, and daily news in San Lorenzo. He made a cheese sandwich and cooked fried rice.“Good molning Kuya.” Cally greeted her brother before she sat on the dining chair, waiting for breakfast to be served.“Good morning.”They ate and prepared themselves to go to school. “Dad, we’re leaving. Your breakfast is on the dining table.”“Hmm... Take care.”“Bye, daddy!” Cally hugged her father before they left.Trestan accompanied his little sister to her classroom before he pr

Hope of the Dying World EPILOGUE
March 16, 2022Wednesday 7 AMMonths had swiftly passed…“Where are you going, dad?”“I’ll just visit someone… it’s been a while.” He said before leaving their house. The sun rose already and the streets of San Lorenzo came back into life.With an open window, Timotheus felt the morning breeze. He was greeted by the neighborhood. On his way to his destination, he passed by a flower shop. “Good morning, officer! You’re at the right time. Our flowers were freshly delivered.”A white bouquet of gerbera flowers caught his attention. He immediately put it beside the passenger seat. He stared at the flowers for a second before starting the engine.It was a peaceful drive not until he noticed a commotion in the middle of the road.“Again?” He parked his car at the side of the road.“You f*cking j*rk! You’re the one who bumped into my car! Look!”“What? I’m just passing by and you’re—”“Excuse me? What is this all about?” Timotheus asked while checking the damages.“Who are you?” One of them
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 110 - THE HOPE
“...Kuya.” Julsen slowly closed his eyes before his ghost left him.“J-Julsen… Hey, man. Wake up. Julsen!”The night became silent after that bloody encounter. A lot of bodies were lying on the ground… lifeless.Timotheus carefully let him go and looked at the blood in his hand. She clenched his fist and rushed to Danryll to give him a hard blow. Danryll didn’t bother to dodge his attack and just let him.“How could you?!”“Sir, stop it!” Xol went in between to stop Timotheus while Ferran, on the other hand, just watched them because the unusual feeling of pain was forming inside him again.“I will never regret it!”“How will you prove that he really killed the doctor? Huh? You don’t have—”“Of course… I have.” Danryll threw him his phone that was immediately caught by Timotheus. He watched the entire video and Julsen really killed Dr. De Vega inside the laboratory. He unconsciously dropped the phone astounded.“Y-You think you all s-succeed? Even if you revealed them to the whole wor
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 109 - THE HALF-BROTHER
The Chief just arrived at the place where the real Boss was living. Instead of welcoming him, everyone inside pointed their guns at him. “What the hell is happening?!” His eyes widened when he saw the real Boss furiously looking at him, as if he wanted to kill him from that very moment. “You son of a b*tch! How dare you destroy the laboratory without my consent?!” The real Boss held the collar of Chief’s clothes and tightened his grip. “Everything will not go according to plan if I don't do it, Boss.” Fear was visible to his eyes. The real Boss is the only one he afraids of. No one but him. “You killed Maria! And my granddaughter… my precious granddaughter!” He was shaking with anger and slowly choking the Chief. “I thought Cally’s your only g-granddaughter? Ugh! I just did it to reach our goal. To produce a cure—” He was cut off when he felt the need for air. “You thought… Hah! I don’t care about that damn goal! As long as my family’s not involved, you’re free to do anything but
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 108 - THE CODE
“As I’ve thought… Got it.”Czaquira ready her pen and paper while Blair was dictating the code they needed to decipher. The letter’s too tiny for them and Blair has 20/20 vision. She could easily read the characters unlike the others inside that special room.“R-O-M-12:12—12|13|14|15 II-C-O-R-4:10—31|32|33|34|35 J-O-H-N-3:16—17|18|19|20|214_2_3_5_5… That’s all.” Blair creased her forehead, not recognizing what the code was telling.Czaquira tried to type it all but it’s too long for a passcode. “Fourteen characters… We only need fourteen characters.” Czaquira uttered.“No… it’s nineteen, I guess?” Xol confusedly said.Minutes after minutes… an hour and ten minutes left. In the middle of the brainstorming on how to decipher the code, Timotheus' phone rang.“Aquiro,” Timotheus said, hoping for good news. “Really? Oh God… thank goodness.”“How’s the search, sir?” Xol asked, hoping for good news.“They found him and…” He looked at Blair who was about to cry. “He’s alive.”Blair’s kn
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 107 - THE PENDANT
“Trestan… He’s alive!” Aquiro wiped his tears and went beside Trestan’s bed.“It’s a miracle that he’s still alive after that fall.” The street sweeper spoke before he sipped his hot coffee.“You’re the one who helped him?” Aquiro asked.The man just nodded and put the empty cup on the table near him.“He needs a long rest. I should leave. Take care of him.”“May I know your name, mister?” Aquiro stopped him for a moment.“No need.” He tapped his shoulder before leaving.“Sh*t… so it’s true. He’s alive. Thank goodness.” Ziph sighed in relief when he saw Trestan lying on the bed unconscious.“Damn you, cous’. You scared us. We thought…”“Stop being a crybaby, Aquiro. Haha.” Beor teased him.“F*ck you.”They just laughed at Aquiro’s hilarious face. The laughter stopped when they heard Trestan speak.“Cally…” He mumbled. “Hey, Trestan! Do you hear me? Trestan.” Aquiro slightly shook him. “Cally… Cally!” He suddenly woke up from that deep sleep. He groaned when he felt pain all over his
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 106 - THE BODY SUIT
Heavy rain fell while Ferran was on his way to save Blair. He struggled a bit because he couldn’t clearly see the road. Ferran looked at his wristwatch before stepping on the gas to speed up.“Ugh!” He almost got into an accident if he hadn’t stepped on the break immediately. His chest tightened and his breathing became heavy. ‘Alfarez! Alfarez!’ Real Ferran’s voice echoed inside his head.His heart pounded harder than the first one, as if his consciousness would leave him. Regardless of the frigidness of the atmosphere due to the rain, his body was heating up and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and neck. “H-Hah… Hah…” Ferran’s head dropped on the steering wheel and his sight became blurry.Darkness filled the surrounding and he woke up in a void.***“It’s been a while… Timotheus Alfarez.” The voice echoed everywhere.‘That voice… That voice!’ He opened his eyes but he saw nothing but darkness. ‘I’m here again… Does it mean…’ He held his head when he felt a sudden pain.
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 105 - THE SEARCH
“Danryll! We need to go. Something’s going on with the kids.” Zyrille uttered after she got a call from Dylan. “Danryll!”“What?” Danryll looked at her before he ended the call.“The kids… we need to go to them.”“Why?” He stood up and they were walking and exiting the wrecked laboratory after they put Dr. De Vega’s body in a safe space. Even if they wanted to, it is not the right time to mourn. There is a special mission they needed to accomplish.“Dylan called and… and he was crying. I don’t really understand what he was saying but all I understood was they were hiding from bad people.”“I thought they were safe where they were.”“I thought so too but it is not the case now.” Zyrille checked on Julianna who was sleeping peacefully and soundly inside the van. “We need to hurry or else, we might lose those innocent ones too.”Danryll sighed heavily before starting the engine. The place is not that far from Mrs. Santos’ house and the travel was quick because it’s night time and there i
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 104 - THE CAR CRASH
“Trestan!”The sound of the waves coming from the San Lorenzo sea and Trestan’s whimper were heard in the middle of the cold night. He was shot on his shoulder and it’s bleeding too much.“Trestan…” Blair was weeping while trying to assist Trestan. Her hands were full of his blood but she didn't mind.“Shh… Don’t cry. It’s… nothing.” He tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears but he couldn’t. The wound was too painful to bear.“Give me that young man!” The Chief was forcefully pulling the briefcase which contained the cure.“No!” Trestan tightly hugged the briefcase while Blair did her best to defend him. She kicked the Chief’s ass and gave him punches but still, it’s not enough. Blair even received a hard blow from the man that made her weak.“A-Ah!” Trestan cried out of pain when the CHief choked him to death.“T-Trestan…” Blair mumbled while watching her lover crying because of pain but she couldn’t do anything but to watch him suffer. She can’t move an inch.The Chief pushed him
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 103 - THE SORROW
“Oh my gosh!!” Blair covered her ears as they heard the explosion coming from the surface. It slightly shook the place because of its great impact. “Dr. De Vega!”Trestan put his hand on her mouth and strongly shook his head to stop her from running back to the laboratory. He then pulled her again because at any time, the enemies might track them as soon as they learned about the tunnel underneath.Rain was heavily pouring when they reached the exit. They unhesitatingly entered the dark and vast forest even though they already knew what danger was waiting for them.The ground became muddy and slippery that made it difficult for them to run faster. Trestan tightly held Blair’s hand while running for their lives because unfortunately, they encountered fake hunters on their way out. One of Blair’s feet slipped and she almost fell into the pit where the organization disposed of the dead organisms from their failed experiment.“Blair! Sh*t… Careful! Let’s go.” Trestan was tired but he just
