Hope The Dolphin Novels & Stories

"That’s a 'Cleanup' crew." Julian looked at Hope, who was sitting on a sack of grain, her eyes fixed on the approaching ship. She wasn't scared. She looked at Julian, and her voice was a chillingly calm echo of her mother’s. "They're not coming for the grain, Daddy," Hope said. "They're coming for the bird. The 'One Who Remains'... he’s on that ship. And he wants his soul back."

As my hand fell, Janine seemed to understand everything, and all hope drained from her. “I told you. Our relationship ended a long time ago.” I had saved her not just out of gratitude to Mr. O'Connor, but because I didn’t want her to die so easily. Living half-paralyzed, in constant suffering, would be far worse than death. I would never forget the soul-deep pain from being skinned in my last life. With Janine’s reckoning behind me, I turned to the stage and unveiled my survival plan to everyone. From power-free shelters to heat-resistant suits and emergency medical treatments, the audience gasped in awe. By the end, the applause didn’t stop.

Hope said, standing at the edge of the platform, "the 'Re-Birth' begins. The shroud will start to break. In a hundred years, the sun will touch the ground again. In a thousand, the oceans will be blue." "And what happens to you?" I asked. "I'm just a 'User Interface,'" Hope said, her form beginning to dissolve into green sparks. "Once the 'Subject 01' is seated, I'm no longer needed. I'll go back into the 'Dream-Stream.'" She reached out and touched my cheek. Her hand felt like a warm breeze. "Thank you for being such a good story, Elara." She vanished. I stood alone in the center of the world. The silence was gone, replaced by the roar of the Genesis engines, waiting for my command.

Fighting her was sure to find some new way to catch them. One thing we did was to dispense with the reports, as much as the royal family was always on top of it to know Hope's progress, we were evasive, never giving a very concrete answer, something like: she's improving, she's under control, she's over the trauma and other similar phrases. I'm excited, there are only two days left until the Festival of Dionysus and it will be the time just when Dylan will return, as much as I hate it, Hope invited Marcus and Lestat to participate as well.

a female voice shouts as she takes as far of a step as she can away from the other prisoners. “Mira,” Hope whispers. “You understand what you're asking?” I say carefully. “Yes,” she says without hesitation. “I’m not leaving him.” “Very well,” I say, throat tight. “Request granted.” Hopes breathing hitches. Her sadness radiates through our bond. I hold her hand under the table to steady her. There is no struggle when Thorne and Damon take his arms. No last-minute plea. As they lead him away, he does not look back.

On the very top was a note that read: [Rachelle, I know that you need 500 thousand dollars for your transplant surgery. I’m sorry I could only save 143 thousand dollars. I wanted to save more, but I didn’t have enough time. For the rest, I hope I can protect you and help you win the lottery from the other side. [I’m sorry for not seeing you. I’m too ugly now, and I didn’t want to scare you. And Jonah, I don’t blame you for leaving me. Be good to Rachelle. She’s more suited to be your wife than I am.]

I sat there and the seawater soothe my feet. I remembered she shouted for Candy and Coral and they became familiar with her voice. This is not the time when she used to come here. So it is obvious that dolphins would come here around evening. Still, I want to see them. As I have seen plenty of photographs on her phone with dolphins. "Candy... Coral..." I shouted and I felt my voice mixed up with the sound of waves. I tried again and again. But no response. "They might run away," My inner shouted. I sighed.

my eyes sparkled when I saw a group of dolphins swimming beside our ship. They are so precious. Hindi ko ma-imagine ang mangyayari sa kanila kapag sila ay pinalibutan ng mga sharks. I learned last time that dolphins are the sea creatures that can defeat sharks. I don't know how is that possible. Atleast they're free. The back of my mind said. Pait nanaman akong napangiti. Despite of the danger the ocean may bring, atleast they're free. How about me? When will I be?

We waste no time in putting on our snorkels and diving down into the water, we have to keep coming up to catch our breathes but this place and the sea life is so incredible that it's worth it. There is a lot more sea life here than what we saw the first time we came and I am loving every second of it, there are clownfish and angelfish, rays and turtles and I'm in awe at the beauty, even more so when I see a clownfish swimming with her babies. I'm not sure how long we've been out here but I know it's been a while when Alex pulls me up from the water and takes off his mask and then mine. "I have a surprise planned for you tonight so we need to start heading back to get ready in time!" Another
