Early in the morning, Blair woke up and found herself caught in Trestanโs arm. He sleeps peacefully while facing her. They were hugging each other. It's just five in the morning and it's still dark outside. She saw a glint of light outside the room and she heard a little noise. It was as if someone was cooking.She moved a little but that made Trestan hug her tight and pulled her towards him. "Trestan..." Her heart ran faster than normal and she blushed."Good morning." He smiled while his eyes were still closed and then he kissed her forehead."G-Good morning." She stuttered a little so Blair tried to clear her throat.After a while, Trestan let go of her and he sat on the bamboo bed. "Uhm... Sorry for not stopping myself from hugging you."โIt'sโฆ Itโs fine. I guess?โ They looked at each other and laughter filled the air. โHaha. It's just a hug. Don't overthink like we did something wrong." Blair laughed at him before going out of bed and tied her hair into a bun before going outside
October 06, 2021The Boss visits the laboratory to check on the progress of their experiment. Dr. Maria Garcia is currently explaining something to him. Every doctor and scientist in the laboratory has their own fear of making mistakes that will make the Boss mad and immediately kill them without hesitation. Every work they do should always be perfect."By December, I need a full report of your experiment, Dr. Garcia. Time is gold. Waste of time is a huge shortcoming in the organization. Lots of clients were waiting for it.""Don't worry, Boss. We are close to success. That lady," She was referring to Nathalie as the lady who was injected by their latest antidote. She seems so fine and healthy."Just be sure that you made it right. I have to go." After the Boss left, Dr. Maria Garcia went to Nathalie to check on her."Are you feeling something?" She asked."Nothing. I felt nothing at all. I'm good.""Well, that's great. Take care of yourself and you'll be the key to our first success.
Early in the morning, 13th of October, the two military trucks travel to the area where the terrorist camp. The place was silent when they arrived. It was as if something was going to happen.Ferran and Alfarez were facing each other in one of the military trucks. They didn't look at each other or even talked. Ferran guessed that Alfarez is feeling awkward because they are together on a battlefield again like before.They made their camp and later on, they exchanged gunfires with the terrorist group. Many of their comrades are already dying but they still do not stop until they have suppressed their opponents.They arrived at the abandoned building where the terrorist camped. Ferran was hiding behind the huge rock. He looked around to search for someone who could help him. He saw Alfarez silently walking towards the building. Ferran noticed someone saw Alfarez and was about to shoot him."Sh*t." Ferran shoots the terrorist and ran towards Alfarez direction for them to hide. "Are you
***"Alfarez... Alfarez..."Alfarez woke up in a dark place and he heard the voice he always hears every time something happened to him."Alfarez!""Am I dying?" He asked."Not yet but death is always chasing you..." It echoed everywhere. "Be careful whom you trust... Not everyone around youโฆ Not everyone around you is trustworthy. others are just showing off and taking your heart out so you don't doubt them...""W-What? Who? May I know?" But the voice didn't respond to him."Be careful. The end is near. Your battle is almost approaching. Ready your heart, soul, and mind..." The voice seemed to scare him but that's the truth. "Pain will hit you... Pain... Pain..."***His eyes opened and he found himself lying on a hospital bed and Blair was there looking so worried to him."Uncle." Blair hugged him. "Uncle Rouvie said that you passed out. Are you fine?""Y-Yeah... How about Alfarez?" He looked at Sanchez who just entered his hospital room. "How is he?""He's in a good condition right
Trestan stayed for another hour in Blair's room before he left and went to Ferran's. He saw Ferran sleeping deeply and soundly on the sofa. He looks so tired, remembering his father. Trestan just sighed and entered Ferran's room. It's a little messy but not really.He looked around and saw the study table full of papers, photos, and important folders. He does not want to touch anything inside that room but he can't help but look at those files.He saw a sketch of Cally lying on the bed and she looked like suffering. His eyes widened, the sketch gave him goosebumps. "Is this my sister's future?" He gulped at that thought. He can't imagine Cally suffering like this. It was as if he was suffering too. He loves his little sister so much that he will do anything just to save her from hurt.Later on, he just chose to lie on the bed and after a while, he fell asleep.The next day came and early in the morning, Trestan heard noises outside the room. He opened his eyes and looked at the side
After a week, they can't find anything suspicious about the case. They have very limited access to the farm that they can investigate."There's no progress in that case." Alfarez sighed and sat on his chair."Let's go there at night. There are lots of limitations on that farm. We can't investigate thoroughly if someone is always watching our every move." Ferran said. After accepting the case, they could comfortably talk to each other."Yeah. I thought I was the only one who noticed that." Alfarez said. "When are we---""Tonight.""Okay," Alfarez responded and was about to leave and go home but he remembered something. "Is it fine if Blair stays in our house?""What? Why?""Because I'm worried about my son's girlfriend. She's like a daughter to me." Alfarez said. Ferran glanced at him and after a while, he just nodded. "Great."Ferran went home and readied himself for their investigation at night. He wore an all-black outfit and a bag containing important things like a flashlight, gun,
After they arrived at the hospital, they found Blair and Trestan sitting on the side of the bed where Cally was lying and sleeping."What happened?" Alfarez asked but Ferran seemed to look for something inside his bag."Dad." Trestan stood up and faced his father. "She can't breathe and has a high fever so I brought her here and the doctor runs some tests about her condition. We just need to wait for the result."Timotheus sighed and tapped his son's shoulder before he proceeded to check his daughter's situation. They saw Ferran wearing surgical gloves and went near the bed. "Excuse me.""What are you doing?" Timotheus blocked his way to Cally."I'll just check on something really important.""You're not a doctor. You don't have the right---" Alfarez was interrupted by his son, Trestan."Dad, just let him.""W-What?" Timotheus couldnโt believe that Trestan was siding with the man he barely knew. โNo. I am Callyโs father. Iโll decide here.โ"My uncle will just check Cally, uncle Timot
December 16, 2021Thursday 1:29 A.M.Blair and Trestan arrived at the doctor's house and immediately went outside the car. They run towards the front door of Dr. De Vega's house."Dr. De Vega? Dr. De Vega!" Trestan was knocking at the doctor's house. It took ten minutes before the doctor opened the door."Trestan? Blair? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The doctor seemed to just wake up from his sleep."We need to test on something doctor and---""W-What? Can't we do that later? It's past one in the morning." The doctor said while his eyes were half-closed."But doctor, this is very important and time is running. We will be too late if we---""What are you talking about, young man?""We will just explain it to you later, doctor. But first things first, we need to hurry." Blair said."Fine. Fine. Come in. I'll just change clothes and we will go to the secret laboratory." The doctor has no choice but to come with the two young people.After a while, Dr. De Vega drove
March 16, 2022Wednesday 7 AMMonths had swiftly passedโฆโWhere are you going, dad?โโIโll just visit someoneโฆ itโs been a while.โ 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. โGood morning, officer! Youโre at the right time. Our flowers were freshly delivered.โA 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.โAgain?โ He parked his car at the side of the road.โYou f*cking j*rk! Youโre the one who bumped into my car! Look!โโWhat? Iโm just passing by and youโreโโโExcuse me? What is this all about?โ Timotheus asked while checking the damages.โWho are you?โ One of them
โ...Kuya.โ Julsen slowly closed his eyes before his ghost left him.โJ-Julsenโฆ Hey, man. Wake up. Julsen!โThe night became silent after that bloody encounter. A lot of bodies were lying on the groundโฆ 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 didnโt bother to dodge his attack and just let him.โHow could you?!โโSir, stop it!โ 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.โI will never regret it!โโHow will you prove that he really killed the doctor? Huh? You donโt haveโโโOf courseโฆ I have.โ 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.โY-You think you all s-succeed? Even if you revealed them to the whole wor
The Chief just arrived at the place where the real Boss was living. Instead of welcoming him, everyone inside pointed their guns at him. โWhat the hell is happening?!โ His eyes widened when he saw the real Boss furiously looking at him, as if he wanted to kill him from that very moment. โYou son of a b*tch! How dare you destroy the laboratory without my consent?!โ The real Boss held the collar of Chiefโs clothes and tightened his grip. โEverything will not go according to plan if I don't do it, Boss.โ Fear was visible to his eyes. The real Boss is the only one he afraids of. No one but him. โYou killed Maria! And my granddaughterโฆ my precious granddaughter!โ He was shaking with anger and slowly choking the Chief. โI thought Callyโs your only g-granddaughter? Ugh! I just did it to reach our goal. To produce a cureโโ He was cut off when he felt the need for air. โYou thoughtโฆ Hah! I donโt care about that damn goal! As long as my familyโs not involved, youโre free to do anything but
โAs Iโve thoughtโฆ Got it.โCzaquira ready her pen and paper while Blair was dictating the code they needed to decipher. The letterโs too tiny for them and Blair has 20/20 vision. She could easily read the characters unlike the others inside that special room.โR-O-M-12:12โ12|13|14|15 II-C-O-R-4:10โ31|32|33|34|35 J-O-H-N-3:16โ17|18|19|20|214_2_3_5_5โฆ Thatโs all.โ Blair creased her forehead, not recognizing what the code was telling.Czaquira tried to type it all but itโs too long for a passcode. โFourteen charactersโฆ We only need fourteen characters.โ Czaquira uttered.โNoโฆ itโs nineteen, I guess?โ Xol confusedly said.Minutes after minutesโฆ an hour and ten minutes left. In the middle of the brainstorming on how to decipher the code, Timotheus' phone rang.โAquiro,โ Timotheus said, hoping for good news. โReally? Oh Godโฆ thank goodness.โโHowโs the search, sir?โ Xol asked, hoping for good news.โThey found him andโฆโ He looked at Blair who was about to cry. โHeโs alive.โBlairโs kn
โTrestanโฆ Heโs alive!โ Aquiro wiped his tears and went beside Trestanโs bed.โItโs a miracle that heโs still alive after that fall.โ The street sweeper spoke before he sipped his hot coffee.โYouโre the one who helped him?โ Aquiro asked.The man just nodded and put the empty cup on the table near him.โHe needs a long rest. I should leave. Take care of him.โโMay I know your name, mister?โ Aquiro stopped him for a moment.โNo need.โ He tapped his shoulder before leaving.โSh*tโฆ so itโs true. Heโs alive. Thank goodness.โ Ziph sighed in relief when he saw Trestan lying on the bed unconscious.โDamn you, cousโ. You scared us. We thoughtโฆโโStop being a crybaby, Aquiro. Haha.โ Beor teased him.โF*ck you.โThey just laughed at Aquiroโs hilarious face. The laughter stopped when they heard Trestan speak.โCallyโฆโ He mumbled. โHey, Trestan! Do you hear me? Trestan.โ Aquiro slightly shook him. โCallyโฆ Cally!โ He suddenly woke up from that deep sleep. He groaned when he felt pain all over his
Heavy rain fell while Ferran was on his way to save Blair. He struggled a bit because he couldnโt clearly see the road. Ferran looked at his wristwatch before stepping on the gas to speed up.โUgh!โ He almost got into an accident if he hadnโt stepped on the break immediately. His chest tightened and his breathing became heavy. โAlfarez! Alfarez!โ Real Ferranโs 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. โH-Hahโฆ Hahโฆโ Ferranโs head dropped on the steering wheel and his sight became blurry.Darkness filled the surrounding and he woke up in a void.***โItโs been a whileโฆ Timotheus Alfarez.โ The voice echoed everywhere.โThat voiceโฆ That voice!โ He opened his eyes but he saw nothing but darkness. โIโm here againโฆ Does it meanโฆโ He held his head when he felt a sudden pain.
โDanryll! We need to go. Somethingโs going on with the kids.โ Zyrille uttered after she got a call from Dylan. โDanryll!โโWhat?โ Danryll looked at her before he ended the call.โThe kidsโฆ we need to go to them.โโWhy?โ He stood up and they were walking and exiting the wrecked laboratory after they put Dr. De Vegaโs 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.โDylan called andโฆ and he was crying. I donโt really understand what he was saying but all I understood was they were hiding from bad people.โโI thought they were safe where they were.โโI thought so too but it is not the case now.โ Zyrille checked on Julianna who was sleeping peacefully and soundly inside the van. โWe need to hurry or else, we might lose those innocent ones too.โDanryll sighed heavily before starting the engine. The place is not that far from Mrs. Santosโ house and the travel was quick because itโs night time and there i
โTrestan!โThe sound of the waves coming from the San Lorenzo sea and Trestanโs whimper were heard in the middle of the cold night. He was shot on his shoulder and itโs bleeding too much.โTrestanโฆโ Blair was weeping while trying to assist Trestan. Her hands were full of his blood but she didn't mind.โShhโฆ Donโt cry. Itโsโฆ nothing.โ He tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears but he couldnโt. The wound was too painful to bear.โGive me that young man!โ The Chief was forcefully pulling the briefcase which contained the cure.โNo!โ Trestan tightly hugged the briefcase while Blair did her best to defend him. She kicked the Chiefโs ass and gave him punches but still, itโs not enough. Blair even received a hard blow from the man that made her weak.โA-Ah!โ Trestan cried out of pain when the CHief choked him to death.โT-Trestanโฆโ Blair mumbled while watching her lover crying because of pain but she couldnโt do anything but to watch him suffer. She canโt move an inch.The Chief pushed him
โOh my gosh!!โ Blair covered her ears as they heard the explosion coming from the surface. It slightly shook the place because of its great impact. โDr. De Vega!โTrestan 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 Blairโs hand while running for their lives because unfortunately, they encountered fake hunters on their way out. One of Blairโs feet slipped and she almost fell into the pit where the organization disposed of the dead organisms from their failed experiment.โBlair! Sh*tโฆ Careful! Letโs go.โ Trestan was tired but he just
