Breaking The Code: The Hidden Project (Carnations Series #2)

♠93♣

"Do you want to see magic?" sabi niya habang nakaupo ako sa hita niya kaya tumango ako, may sinulat siya sa isang papel

"Wala naman po ata yan na tinta eh" sabi ko at ngumusk "Its part of the magic" sabi niya at tinutok dun ang maliit na flashlight kaya yung natutukan ng flashlight ay lumabas ang sulat

"Wow!" mangha kong sabi "You use this if you want to hide a secret" sabi niya kaya natawa ako "Cool!" sabi ko "Mukhang nagkakatuwaan ata kayo diyan ah?" sabi niya at linapag ang tray na may cookies at hinalikan kami sa pisngi

"Mommy look! Magic!" sabi ko at tinuro ang ginawa ni Daddy "Wow, eat first Agatha" sabi niya kaya kumuha ako ng cupcake sa tray

"Hmm~!" sabi ko habang nginunguya ang cupcake "Is it delicious?" sabi niya kaya tumango ako "Yes mommy!" sabi ko habang nakangiti.

Napabangon ako habang hinihingal then something clicked into me, is it posible that Dad used it? Bumangon ako sa kama at lumuhod para kunin ang kahon sa ilalim ng kama ko at hinalukot yun, when I found what I'm finding, I went to the study table and checked if it works.

"This is the sixteenth day ng research namin about Project Carnations and a new drug called Lycana that can expand a human's mind, there are several possibilities if Lycana is not capable of the tester's body. It can be a cause for cancer, death and other more that involves dying and that's why I'm worried about my daughter, Agatha's condition. Leonard is using her as a test subject at sa habang panahon na tinutusukan siya ng Lycana ay wala pa siyang symptoms that involves dying kaya nakahinga ako ng maluwag.

Napaawang ang bibig ko ng gumana, Dad is using invisible ink para hindi makita ng iba ang journal niya? I flipped another page at binasa hanggang sa magsawa ako when something caught my attention.

"Sumuko ang katawan ni Agatha dahil sa dami ng Lycana na linagay sa kanya, I trusted Leonard pero hindi ko inaasahan that because of his selfish acts my daughter is between life and death because of a stupid drug! Now that Agatha has heart cancer, I can't do anything else but pray that she won't be like the others, I can't risk losing a daughter.

-Dwayne Ward"

Hindi ko na napigilan at awtomatikong tumulo ang luha ko and flipped the next page.

"The heavens listened to my prayer and helped get Agatha out of the heart cancer, we did some tests dahil sa himalang nangyari. And we found out that she's the first one to succeed in the project with her friend, Charles Wilheilm. Tyron, Tyler and William was happy when they found out that the both of them will live and Leonard gained my trust back.

-Dwayne Ward"

"Me and my wife, Amethyst, over-heard what Leonard was planning. He planned on using more people to succeed Project Carnations to let it be capable of fitting in with a human's brain and not kill it. And that means sacrificing many other lives, me and Amethyst couldn't take it, we can't do this any longer! So I was planning on backing out of the project.

-Dwayne Ward"

"Leonard is planning on making a hidden project using Agatha to make a carbon copy of Lycana. He copied Agatha's brain and blood, hindi na ako magpapatakot sa mga banta niya, I need to sacrifice to save many people especially Agatha's.

-Dwayne Ward"

"God knows how I love my daughter and I wish someday that she finds a family of her own with a normal life not like us. I raised Agatha in a dangerous environment with dangerous people. And I need to save the kids as much as I can.

-Dwayne Ward"

I tried flipping other pages pero wala ng iba na pwedeng magsabi tungkol sa hidden project, I already killed a Hive member and I need to do it again to save the people I love.

Napahilamos ako ng mukha at dumako ang mata ko sa year book ko nung Grade 3, kinuha ko yun and started remenicing the memories where sadness is still present in my life then my eyes landed in a picture and in her name.

Mikaela Acosta

I gasped, magkaklase kami?! Is that why she's familiar? Then memories came back to me.

Mikaela Acosta was the only girl that played with me in my childhood days then she suddenly disappeared to move to Canada kaya hindi ko na siya nakita pa mula nun. Napailing ako at binalik ang year book then a thought came to me, Lysander couldn't move freely without a backer.

He's the queen in this chess game and he's the one winning, I played with fire and that fire is Hive. Hindi pa ni Lysander ginagamit ang ace niya so I still have a chance to win but two days ago he used the queen while the king is being protected and out lf sight, its still early for a checkmate.

Lysander is not the one playing, his not the king, somebody else is in the shadows waiting the perfect time to appear, he wanted this to happen, he is finally looking at us like were a threat to him, a biggest one.

Napailing ako sa na isip, who is the one really behind this chaos?

Shantal...

Anong kinalaman niya sa lahat ng nangyayari? Lysander considered her as a threat, he commanded the Jordan twins to kill Shantal so that means she has a special role in this game, an important one.

Napabalik ako sa katinuan ng bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ko at bumungad sakin ang hinihingal na si Nathan kaya napatayo ako at linapitan siya, hindi dapat ako nagmumukmok dito lalo na't nakasalalay ang maraming buhay sa mga kamay namin

"Nathan, Lysander is not the boss, its someone else" sabi ko at nagtaka ng umiling siya "Listen to me Agatha" sabi niya at hinawakan ang dalawang balikat ko

"What is it?" tanong ko, tinitigan na muna niya ako kaya mas lalo akong kinabahan sa sasabihin niya "William's awake" sabi niya that opened every nerve on my body.
