Season 4 Saving Hope Novels & Stories

“That was when the older brother understood that the moment he had fallen in love with the elder sister, his younger brother had also fallen for her bright and cheerful younger sister. “Fortunately, by the grace of Heaven, their sincerity was acknowledged. They were given a chance to begin again and to stand before those two sisters once more.” Tears streamed down Harper’s and my faces as we listened. We each embraced our beloved, letting them kiss the tears from our cheeks. It was at this moment that I truly understood that life was not about luck. Leopold and Dylan’s profound love and sincerity had given Harper and me another chance. They had loved and protected Harper and me all along. Ha

Of watching everyone we saved die because we destroyed the only thing that could save them. "There has to be another way," I said. "There is always another way. We survived Marcus. We survived the Consortium. We survived everything. We can survive this." "Sometimes," Hope said quietly, "survival is not option. Sometimes we just—lose. Accept it. Make peace with it. Say goodbye while we still can." "No. Absolutely not. I refuse. We do not give up. We do not quit. We—" My phone rang. Unknown number. I almost ignored it. Then something made me answer.

I blew a breath as the sky began to fade and my world collapsed into dark pieces of shadows, tears and rain while the fresh scent of spring air flowed into my nostrils before my vision began to cloud. “I’m not going to make it,” I whispered. I don’t know if Val responded or if I actually said it aloud; I might’ve said it in my mind. Who knows? But I still won’t make it. My bones stiffened and I felt the heat in my chest leaving along with the stifling motion of blood. This was it. “I’m sorry,” I said inwardly. “Don’t be sorry. I’m going to save you, Kennedi,” a voice said.

“You observed, and you interfered. You touched the mortal thread. You altered fate.” “I saved a life,” I said. The defense was smaller than I felt it should be. I had not expected sympathy, only cold arbitration. “She should have died.” “She was meant to be a node in fate’s weave,” another voice intoned, one like ice on water. “By removing that node you have shifted the pattern. The consequence must be made visible.” I braced for a sentence that would be merciless but direct: exile, erosion of power, binding. I had prepared for shackles. Instead the chamber went quiet, and something in me slid sideways, unease flowering cold and sharp.

After being fired from the company, he spent two months job hunting, but every role was either too tiring or beneath him. Eliana had no choice but to sell her jewelry and rent a small apartment to live with the two of them. However, without any income, their savings ran out in the blink of an eye. Barely three months later, she showed up in front of me and dropped to her knees. "Please give Kean back to me, Lyss! You're already married. Please just let him go!" I immediately took a step back and waved my hands. "You've got the wrong person. I blocked him ages ago!"

“No, I’m just from around here. I’ve never been to Mars. And… can people really live on Mars? Isn’t it super far away? How would you even build a house up there?” Hope pretended to rub his neck in mock pain. “Right, I didn’t think of that. Sorry if I seem clueless. Must be my inherited traits.” He glanced at Mom, who promptly threw a pillow at him. Even Dad had a word for Hope. “Hey, son, weren’t you going to do an intermission number for Poppy?” Summer reminded him. “Oh, right! I was supposed to perform for you when you arrived. I’ve got a special number ready. Are you familiar with the song ‘Salamin’ by Bini?"

I asked. "I'm going to meet up with Eli. He told me he had a surprise to show me." She explained. "That's great. Have fun." I said. Jasmine waved at me as she went back through the door once again. When she closed the door behind her, I turn my attention back to my laptop. I was planning on killing a few hours by continuing to watch the television series, The Originals.

"Wendy, hurry up. I've got a surprise for you." Gideon Cross stood at the edge of the grove, waving me over. The golden light of the setting sun fell across his face. His smile was warm and familiar, reminding me of the more than two thousand days we had spent side by side. I had barely taken a step when several glowing lines of text suddenly flashed across my vision. "Don't go. There's a sulfuric acid trap in the grove."

And in New Haven, 1,186 people—plus four infants—prepared for whatever came next. Not with certainty. Not with guarantees. Not with perfection. But with hope. Real, hard-earned, sustainable hope. The kind that survives winter. The kind that builds civilization. The kind that makes trying worth the cost. And for Maya Chen, who'd traveled through time to save everyone and learned she could only save some, that was enough. It had to be. It was all any of them had. And it was more than they'd had a year ago. So it was enough.

Placing a hand on his bicep, I say, “I believe Omega Jonathan has changed it right before he left. If that is the case, we may not have a way out, that is unless you know how to change it again.” Shaking his head, he wiggles out of my grasp and states, “No, I don’t, do any of you?” He glances at each one of us and then Omega Ned speaks up, “I do. Just give me a few minutes before I can change it. If I knew it before, I would have already did it.” Smiling, because he feels needed suddenly, I watch as his fingers type super-fast on the keyboard before he states, “It’s taken care of. The code is 3416.”
