Cocoon of Silence and Fear

Excerpt from Perfidy, The Debacle Series, Book One

Shocked, I screamed aloud. A sense of dread and panic engulfed me as Noah announced the terrifying reappearance of the Nephilim.

Why did they return? Except to capture us and turn our planet into a garbage dump? My recollection of my vision swirled in my head, and I swayed from the thought of their return. I shook my head and remembered the urgency to leave the patio.

My poor husband fell with a loud thud and crashed through the kitchen door. I heard him shriek in pain as he landed on his face, his head hitting the ground with a smack. I grabbed the door handle and slammed the tempered glass door behind him. As I retreated from the door, warm air rushed into my face. Our patio furniture flew as a powerful gust of wind whooshed by, and a red laser beam crept toward the door before halting at the entrance.

I glanced at Noah sitting upright on the floor. His face lost color, leaving behind a pale and lifeless complexion. My jaw dropped in amazement as a ray of light sucked everything shrouded in the light into the spaceship. The familiar stench of rotting garbage from Zarzu lingered in the entire house from the open kitchen window, confirming Nephilim aliens had arrived.

“Carmen, Carmen Northrop.” I wondered who called my name. I stood fastened to the floor, unable to move a muscle. Did my mind trick me? Then I heard my name once more. A deep, raspy voice left no question it belonged to Zerus. I searched for any sign of Zerus’s manifestation. Instead, the deafening silence engulfed us, creating a cocoon of stillness.

***

What troubled Carmen’s heart with fear? It was the memories of the Nephilim’s intrusion and the torment they inflicted during their first encounter. Now, they had returned with renewed fury, determined to claim Earth as their own. Carmen knew she had to stand and save the world—challenging her own mysterious supernatural abilities, confronting the extraterrestrial menace, and embracing the spiritual truths that would guide her to fulfill her divine destiny.
