Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 16 - THE FAMILY FRIEND
“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
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 17 - THE MICROORGANISM
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
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 18 - THE LECTURE
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 CHAPTER 19 - THE PROFESSOR
‘She’s not familiar to me. A new professor? Or maybe, I just don’t really care about those people around me so I don’t notice her? Probably. ’She seemed to be burdened by the boxes, and Trestan couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, Is it heavy for you? You can give me the other box so you don’t have too much trouble lifting that.”“It looks like you’ve changed. You talk a lot.” The female professor mumbled.“What?”“Nothing. Don’t worry. I can manage.” She smiled sweetly.“Hey, Professor De Vega! Let me help you.” Aquiro suddenly appears and gets the box from the lady professor. “Aquiro, I thought you had a class?”“I just finished our basketball practice, Miss. Don’t worry, I can easily make an excuse.” She grinned and moved his eyebrows up and down.“Tsk. You’re just avoiding Ms.Valdez’s lecture today, don’t you?” Aquiro laughed at the lady professor.“Why should I, Prof.? I’m her favorite student.” He boasted, making the professor laugh. “Oh Trestan? You cut?” He asked after noticing his
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 20 - THE ABANDONED HOUSE
In a dark forest of San Lorenzo which is part of their mountains, no one tried to enter because it was believed that once you enter, you couldn’t get out alive. But that was just a myth, a story from the elders of San Lorenzo. The sound of crickets, crows, and the rustling of various species found in the forest is often heard.In the middle of the night in the dark forest, the dry leaves and branches create noise due to the feet stepping on it. “Boss.”“Are you stupid?” The man called ‘Boss’ said angrily. “So simple but you didn’t do it well and you even left evidence.”“I didn’t know there was a guard inside. But I’m confused. Why is that Ferran guarding the b*tch?”“That Ferran messed up with the wrong person.” The Boss said who seems to have a dark plan. “Go ahead and leave.”When the man turned his back, the Boss took out the hidden pistol under his coat then pointed it to the man he was talking to earlier. He pulled the trigger and the sound of the gun became a noise in the mid
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 21 - THE SAFE PLACE
***“Your life is in danger.” The voice echoed.Ferran is in the dark place again where no one has seen around. It was as if he had trouble breathing and the surroundings were shrinking.“You are not careful. Think before you act.”He almost lost his breath.“It’s not yet your time. Be still.”***He woke up in a dark room made of bamboo and the surroundings were a bit dark but he could see a dim light from the opening of the adjacent bamboo. He heard voices in the distance but did not know where it was. From lying down on the bed made of bamboo, he tried to get up but the pain from his side made him fall on the bed. He noticed someone slightly opened the door and looked at him. It alerted him, and felt anxious that his life might be in danger again. He has not fully recovered from the incident that happened to him, so he doesn’t know if he could protect himself in that state.He sighed in relief when he saw that It was just a little girl with a blindfold on her left eye. When she s
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 22 - THE FREE RIDE
Within two days, Ferran learned a lot about life in the forest and he also asked about the medicinal plants in their house. Henry explained to him that Tata Carpio, the old man who was furious with the policemen and authorities for unknown reasons, likes to collect herbs that are effective in various diseases. Henry also said that even though he was angry with him because he was a policeman, he still treated him.And after two days, he bid his goodbye to the people who treated him well. Hailey still did not want to let him go but he had to go back to town. People might be looking for him especially since he’s out of reach for two weeks.“You’ll come back, right?” Hailey asked while her tears were running down her cheek. In that little span of time, the little kid became very close to Ferran to the point that she doesn’t want to let him go.“Of course. I’ll visit if I have time.” Ferran assured her.“Bye-bye.” Hailey waved her little hand while Ferran was leaving the mountain.When he
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 23 - THE POLICE STATION
“Let’s go to the station.”“What? No! You’re staying here until you recover.” Rouvie stopped him but he’s so hard-headed.“I’m fine. Let’s go.” He entered his bedroom and when he came out, he was wearing his police uniform.Rouvie heavily sighed, did nothing but follow, and did not dispute his friend’s stubbornness. Even before, Simeon was so stubborn and there was really nothing he could do about that.When they arrived at the station. Everyone was shocked every time they saw Ferran passing in front of them. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.“It’s true.”“He’s alive.”“He’s truly a cat with nine lives.”“Nothing’s new.”“Welcome back Ferran!” Someone shouted but he just nodded.“Nothing changed.”“Still arrogant.”He proceeded to the Chief’s office, knocked three times, and heard the word ‘come in.’ He twisted the doorknob and entered the office. He saw the Chief who’s talking to his telephone and when the Chief saw him in front, he froze but immediately recovered.“So it’

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
