Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 30 - THE ADDICTS
June 24, 20209:58 PMIt’s been two hours since Ferran waited outside the Tolentino Mansion. He always checks the time in his wristwatch then looks at the mansion’s gate. He was gripping the steering wheel of Sanchez’s car which he borrowed because his pickup needs a repair. Compared to his car, Sanchez’s car is brand new, and he remembered Sanchez’s words before he allowed him to use his new car. It’s kind of funny though.***“If you’re not my friend, I will not really lend my car to you.” Sanchez was hesitant to lend his car to Ferran because he knew that his partner is sometimes a reckless driver. At the end, he handed him the car key, as if he had no choice.“If my car isn’t damaged, I will not borrow your car.”“Why don’t you buy a new one?”“Maybe next time.”“Tss. You have almost nothing to spend on your salary.”Ferran didn’t say anything else. Even he doesn’t know why the real Ferran didn’t replace his car with a new one. He guessed that maybe because there’s a memory in th
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 31 - THE TRIBAL TATTOO
Ferran gave his statement to the police in charge. He was listening to the police question when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.“Excuse me.” He said as he waved his phone. The police nodded and left him for some privacy.“S-Simeon. I need your help! My sister is missing. I can’t find her! Please, help me.” Thalia was crying on the phone.“What? Maybe she’s just—”“No. No. I tried calling her but she’s not answering. She usually does answer my calls but today’s different. What if… what if something bad happens to her?” She sobbed.Calm down, Thalia. Calm down. We will find her. I’m just taking care of something important. We will find her. Don’t worry.” He said that made Thalia calmer than earlier.“Okay. Okay. I’ll wait for you.” Thalia said before ending the call. Ferran saw a familiar police taking the culprits inside the police mobile.“SPO2 De Vega!” He called the police and approached him. The police looked at him with confusion.‘So he’s from San Carlos before he worked
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 32 - THE POISON
On their way to the police station, Ferran discussed what the beggar said and he also talked about the incident inside the comfort room, where he encountered the man with a tribal tattoo that might be connected to this case.“My hunch was right!” Ferran massages the bridge of his nose. “There's something big behind that man with a tribal tattoo.”“We shouldn’t conclude without strong evidence.” Sanchez said while driving the police car.“What if the victim witnessed something that caused his death?”“If what you’re saying was right,” Sanchez paused. “Then we will be having a hard time catching the murderer.”“Yeah. He is somewhat hard to catch, especially that there’s something big backing him up.” Ferran stated as if he was so sure what he was saying.“How sure are you?”Even if Ferran and Sanchez investigating the murder case, they also handle several cases at the same time. The crime that is happening now in San Lorenzo is so rampant and Ferran has a strong feeling that almost ever
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 33 - THE STUDENT
“Ahh!” The lady screamed.She caught everyone’s attention but she doesn’t care. The lady kicked Dr. De Vega made the doctor sit on the floor. Good thing, Timotheus intervened and stopped the lady from doing a bad thing.“Let me go! Let me go! She needs to die! I want her to die!”Timotheus took the syringe in the lady’s hand and gripped her hands then he pushed her to the nearest wall.“What’s happening here!?” Ferran asked who just arrived at the hospital. When he saw Dr. De Vega sitting on the floor, he immediately approached and helped her to stand up. Some nurses took the doctor to check her condition. Thankfully, nothing serious injury happened to her, just bumped the back of her head against the wall.“This lady tried to inject something to that woman on the bed.” Timotheus explained.“What!? But,” Ferran was confused. “But she’s... She’s your sister. She’s your sister Nathalie.”“I don’t care! I don’t care! I want to kill her! I want to kill her!” She was furious and really wan
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 34 - THE VIRUS
After two days, the classes resumed but another incident occurred. Someone found a dead body in the ladies’ comfort room. When Trestan arrived at the crime scene, he saw Blair acting as a detective again like the other day.When Trestan saw the dead body, he was shocked. It’s the nerd who bumped into him, the day his classmate died. She has a wound on her forehead. Trestan clenched his fist and he had an assumption.‘If Wilton didn’t commit a suicide, then maybe… the nerd knew the killer, and did this to her. Damn.’ Trestan’s phone rang and he immediately answered it. “Yes, doctor?”“There’s another murder incident. Be careful.”“I know. I will.”“I have to tell you something. If you have free time, come over here.” The Doctor said, pertaining to the secret laboratory.“Alright.”The call ended. Trestan got back to his classroom and almost everyone was in mere silence when he entered. His classmates were mourning Wilton’s death.“Good morning class. If you heard the news, another in
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 35 - THE BROTHER
A week before the epidemic...Dr. Carlos De Vega was busy analyzing the microorganism. They started creating the antidote to destroy those viruses that can kill any living things on Earth, like plants, animals, and humans. It’s been months since they discovered the microorganism.The antidote seemed effective but the problem is, the virus will just return after a week or three days so they concluded that there’s a missing in their formula to make the virus vanish forever.Suddenly, Professor Zyrille entered the secret laboratory and she looked like in a rush. She put a small aluminum briefcase on the laboratory table and opened it to show something to her father.“I can’t contact you for three weeks. Where have you been?” Doctor De Vega asked his daughter with his hands on his waist.“I’m sorry, doctor. I’m just observing something that was connected to that microorganism. Look at this.” She showed him a small amount of purple liquid in a test tube.“What’s that?” The doctor looked at
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 36 - THE EPIDEMIC
The present time when the epidemic occurred... In the middle of the vast and dark forest, there is a private property no one else can enter but the members of an organization run by what they call ‘Boss.’ The organization is called BCO also known as BC Organization. This organization is made up of doctors and scientists who want to develop a drug that will prevent people from getting any disease and make everyone immune from illness. Businessmen with illegal transactions and other business with the ‘Boss’ are also members of the organization. Everyone earns millions of dollars from this organization so no one leaves and there are two rules the organization has that everyone must follow. First, once you join the organization, you will not be able to leave because when you plan to leave, the organization shall kill you. Second, all transactions or activities of the organization will remain in the knowledge of each member and it is forbidden to tell others about it because the organ
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 37 - THE LOCKDOWN
“I-I’m sorry. I don’t know what to do.” Blair said, then left the person asking for help. She ran toward the direction where Trestan and Cally were heading.When she reached the old building behind the university, she stopped for a bit and looked at the old building. It is her first time going here and it gives her chills down to her spines. She saw Trestan and Cally entering the front door of the creepy building, she gulped before following them.“Mute, what are you doing here?” Trestan was stunned by Blair’s presence but he didn’t talk.‘She talked too much earlier but she ended up following us here. What a brat.’ Trestan didn’t voice out his thoughts and just proceeded to the secret laboratory’s entrance.“You know what?” Blair said with irritation in her voice. “Why don’t you just talk to me so I can understand you?”She was ignored.“Ugh! I hate your attitude. Mute! Mute! Mute! Mu---”“Shut up.” He mumbled.“Mute! Mute! Mu---what? Did I hear something? Did you say, ‘shut up’?” Sh

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
