The End of Time

Chapter 1
 

It was one of those nights that you swear hell was coming down out of the heavens. A storm like no other came like a thief in the night. It was as if the darkness itself had come to terrorize mankind. Out of the darkness the alien ship came to call on Julie. For Julie it was worse than hell. It was the old nightmare that had been haunting her since childhood. Nightmares of fiendish alien creatures poking and prodding her while she screamed inside her mind with sheer terror.

Her mind wanted to run and hide but her body would not obey. They told her only what they wanted her to believe and remember. They only came after she was asleep penetrating her deepest thoughts allowing her to be a silent victim of their evil schemes.

The aliens were known as the Elohim. They were evil beings that worshipped the dark lord, Nialliv or Satan and had a deep desire to destroy mankind. As servants of darkness they carried out Satan’s devious plans of man’s domination.

Julie had been selected as a child to be genetically altered in stages to carry the child of darkness. The aliens controlled her mind and kept her in a dream state while they placed her on the operating table aboard their ship. They had been instructed to impregnate Julie with the child of darkness. A fertilize egg genetically engineered by the aliens created with Julie’s and Satan’s DNA. The child was designed to be Satan’s daughter, the child that would rule mankind in darkness. After the procedure the aliens implanted a tracking chip in her right hand.

“Who are they? What do they want? Why are they doing this to me? Is it real or just a dream?” she said over and over in her mind.

Julie was returned to her home and placed back in her bed.

Early the next morning she woke up in a cold sweat screaming. She was confused, frightened and she felt a great sense of helplessness. Tiny marks on her right hand made her wonder. She remembered dark hideous images moving around her. She felt ill so she took a couple of aspirins and fell back to sleep. After waking she leaned over and vomited. She then called her long time friend Dr. Mitch Chase. It had been a while since they last spoke but she knew she could trust him. She picked up the phone and dialed his number. Smiling, she remembered the times they had spent together.

The phone rang twice at Dr. Chase's office and was answered by Cindy Wells, the receptionist, “Hello, Dr. Chase's office. How may I help you?”

Julie answered, “Hello, this is Julie Harris. I'd like to come in and see Dr. Chase. Can you squeeze me in this morning?”

Cindy replied, “Dr. Chase has a 10 a.m. cancellation. Would that be all right?”

Julie answered, “Thank you. That will be fine. See you at 10.”

Julie walked up to the receptionist’s window where Cindy was sitting and said, “Hello. I'm Julie Harris. I have a 10 a.m. appointment.”

Cindy greeted Julie, “Hello Ms. Harris. The doctor will be right with you. Please have a seat in our waiting area.”

A few moments later Dr. Chase entered the waiting area and greeted Julie, “Hi Julie it's good to see you. How are you feeling?”

Julie replied, “Not so good. I had another nightmare last night. I feel nauseous and I have this strange mark on my hand.”

Mitch waved his hand and said, “Come this way and we'll take a look at you. Betty will take some blood and we'll run some tests. I'll see you in a moment and we'll give you a thorough examination.”

After the examination they met in Mitch's office to discuss the results.

Mitch looked right at Julie. “Julie you’re pregnant,” he said. “As for the marks on your hand I'm not sure. I should have the results of your blood test by Wednesday.”

Julie became frightened and cried, “I can't be pregnant. I haven't been with anybody for a long while. I'm scared Mitch. I'm not sure what is real anymore. I’ve had these nightmares often, ever since I was a little girl. I seem to remember more about my dream this time. I remember hideous creatures speaking to me in my mind. I believe these creatures are aliens and they abducted me. I feel so helpless. What should I do?”

Mitch in a comforting voice said, “I'll give you something to help you sleep. Everything will work out all right. I'll call you as soon as I have the results of your blood test. Now go home and rest and don't worry. It's only a dream.”

Mitch wasn't sure what to make of her story. She had to have been with someone to be pregnant. They hugged each other and she returned home to rest.

On Wednesday the lab called Dr. Chase's office with the results of her blood test. The technician didn't know what to think. He had never seen anything like it. He explained to Dr. Chase what he had discovered. The sample was sent to Dr. Chase immediately.

Dr. Chase didn't know what to make of the results either. The results showed cells in her blood that were not human and a high concentration of a protein that could not be identified. Dr. Chase decided to give part of the sample to his college buddy Jack, who worked for the FBI in Washington D.C., for a DNA analysis. He called him up and they agreed to meet the next night.

Dr. Chase flew to Washington to meet with his friend. They met at Jack's office at FBI headquarters.

“Hey Jack how's it going? So what's been happening with you? Is life treating you well?” said Mitch.

Jack replied, “Things are great. My wife is expecting and I'm looking forward to being a new daddy. How about you?”

“Things are going well. My practice is doing well,” Mitch said defensively.

Jack laughed as he spoke. “Still haven't tied the knot? What are you waiting for?”

Mitch said, “I just haven't met the right woman. Someone I can connect with. You know?”

Jack nodded, “Yea, I know. So what do you have for me?”

Mitch explained that the blood sample had an unusual cellular composition and that the test had identified an unknown protein concentration and he needed further DNA analysis. Jack agreed to help him. Strictly on the QT. They planned to meet later that night at an all night diner.

Jack went to his lab to run the DNA analysis. While analyzing the sample, a computer terminal in a dark office was alerted that this particular DNA was being tested. Security measures were established for the aliens to make sure that their dark deeds were carried out in secret. The information was relayed to an agency deep within the government, hiding under the guise of national security. Two agents were sent to investigate.

The agents were servants of darkness and had been forced to receive the chip or mark of the Beast. They had been mind wiped and reprogrammed to obey without question. No feelings of love or mercy were found in them. They became emotionless, soulless drones.

The agents arrived at Jack's office and confronted him.

As they showed their identification badges Rogers said, “I'm Special Agent Rogers and this is Special Agent Richards. We are with the National Security Agency and we have to ask you to come with us. Our superiors want to ask you some questions about the tests you are conducting.”

Jack became frightened and said, “How did you know about the tests?”

Rogers replied, “That is unimportant. If you would please come with us we won't take up much of your time.”

Jack reluctantly went with them. Richards called in and a team of agents was sent to Jack's office to confiscate any evidence left behind.

After getting into the car Jack was exposed to a brilliant flash of white light and he passed out.

A few hours had passed and Jack woke up. He realized that he was chained to a wall like a slave. He looked around and he saw other people chained to the walls as well. He heard screaming and moaning from those who were suffering. He thought to himself, “Am I in Hell?”

Suddenly two alien looking creatures approached him and removed his chains. They took him away to another room.

In the room stood a chair connected to what looked like computers. The chair was constructed to mind wipe and reprogram a person's mind with new thoughts or commands to obey. He wanted to run but the aliens controlled his mind. He silently screamed for God's mercy. They strapped him into the chair and put a devise on his head that scanned his mind for the information they were looking for. Jack was tortured as the aliens tried to force him to accept the chip.

He soon passed out and the aliens surgically implanted the chip in his right hand. Jack was then mind wiped and reprogrammed. He was then taken back to his office so that he could meet with Dr. Chase.

He later arrived at the diner for his meeting with Mitch.

Jack said, “Sorry I'm late. The traffic was heavy.”

Mitch replied, “I just arrived a few minutes ago myself.”

Jack sat down across from Mitch to discuss the findings of the blood analysis.

Jack said, “The analysis didn't show anything abnormal in the blood or DNA structure.”

He had been reprogrammed not to discuss the truth of his analysis. Not realizing that dark forces had seduced Jack, Mitch believed him. They ate and talked of old times.

Shaking his hand Mitch said, “Thanks for all your help.”

“No problem. Keep in touch,” said Jack.

He left and returned home.

The next morning Mitch came into the office at 8:00. Cindy was already there. She usually got in at 7:30.

Upon entering Mitch said, “Good morning Cindy.”

Cindy replied, “Good morning doctor. There are some government agents waiting for you in your office.”

Mitch looked at her puzzled. He wondered what they wanted with him.

He walked into his office and said, “Good morning. Can I help you?”

They were the same men who came for Jack.

“I'm Special Agent Rogers and this is Special Agent Richards. We would like to ask you some questions about Julie Harris. Could you ask your receptionist to come in here for a moment? She may be of some help.”

Mitch called to Cindy, “Cindy can you come in here for a moment?”

She entered the office and shut the door. Suddenly a brilliant white light flashed them and they passed out. The agents took them to be mind wiped and reprogrammed. They became servants of darkness and received the chip. They would fit well into the plans of the aliens. They could keep a close watch on Julie and the child of Darkness.

Nearly nine months had passed. Satan was pacing in his dark chamber in Hell. His servants ran nervously about paying close attention to his every beckoning. Malak, one of Satan's chief agents entered the chamber. Malak was called a Nefilim, as in the days of Noah, when the Dark Angels sought to breed with the daughters of the line of Adam creating human/angel hybrids. Their offspring were called giants and they were very powerful. They sought to devour the world. Most of the evil giants perished in the great ancient flood of Noah's time. The rest were hunted down and destroyed centuries ago. Only a few of their offspring survived by hiding in deep dark places in the Earth. Their leaders were chained in the Earth until the consummation of the age. Satan, the Prince of Darkness and Malak were the last of the Nefilim. They had the ability to reshape themselves and to move between the Earth and Hell.

“My Lord. You summoned me?” Malak said bowing down on his knees.

Satan replied with a loud thundering voice, “I am sending you to retrieve my child from the humans. Kill the mother and the other witnesses after the child is born. Bring my child to me. She will need much instruction for her ascension to enslave mankind in darkness forever. Go!”

“By your command Lord,” Malak said and he left for Earth.

Julie was near due when she went for her scheduled appointment with Dr. Chase. She noticed that Cindy had a mark on her right hand but something told her not to inquire about it. She saw that Mitch also had this mark and wondered why she had not noticed the marks before. It looked like the same mark she had!

Mitch examined her and said, “It won't be long now perhaps a week at the most. Your baby girl will soon be born.”

She looked into his eyes and noticed a lack of emotion in his tone. She wondered if she could trust him. She became nervous and wanted to leave.

“I have to go now. I'm expecting company,” she said, “Bye.” She left and went home.

The visions of her nightmare, though still fragmented, became clearer to her as time passed. She sensed that the aliens wanted to take her child. Her feeling about Dr. Chase and Cindy heightened her fears. She wasn't sure what to do. She was unaware that the alien chip implanted in her right hand was providing a means for the aliens to keep track of her.

That night Michael the Archangel appeared to her. “Travel to the north and you will be helped. Follow the white light. It will show you the way,” said Michael, one of the holy angels, presiding over human virtue, commanding the nations.

She woke up the next morning and packed her things to leave.

Michael knew that the aliens were able to track her so he asked the lord in heaven to create a magnetic storm that would disrupt their communications long enough for the child to be hidden from the forces of Darkness. He knew that Satan would never give up searching for the child but it might allow enough time for the child to learn about love and grow in her spirit in the hopes that she may be the salvation of man and not their ruler.

Julie left in her car and drove north with the hope that she and her unborn child would be free. She looked up into the sky and saw a white light so she drove towards it as Michael had instructed her to do. She drove well into the next day. After a while she came to a crossing in the road and she saw that the brilliant white light stopped above a house down the street. She drove up to the house and pulled into the driveway. An elderly couple came outside and greeted her as she got out of the car.

The couple introduced themselves as Jeff and Val McCoy.

“Hello, my dear. We've been expecting you. We are told you are with child. Please come inside,” said Val.

Looking at her husband she said, “Jeffery, carry Julie's bags into the house for her please.”

Julie went inside with Val saying, “Thank you for your kindness. My child will be born soon and I wasn't sure what to do. They’re looking for me.”

“Don't be afraid my dear. Everything is going to be all right,” Val said, “Let me show you to your room. I'll call you when supper is ready.”

“Thank You. I’ve been driving for a long time. I would like to rest a bit,” Julie said.

Malak called upon Dr. Chase for the whereabouts of Julie and the child. They had lost contact with her since the magnetic storm began.

“Where are the child and the woman?” Malak said with his hand around Dr. Chase's throat.

Dr. Chase struggled to reply shaking like a leaf, “I don't know.”

Malak broke his neck and violently hurled him against the wall.

“Useless human,” he said as he turned toward the door.

Malak left and went to where Cindy lived.

”No help here,” he said leaving Cindy dead in her house. He then went back to hell to find out what to do.

Satan's rage tormented all those around him. They all screamed in fear and pain.

Malak walked in and said, ”I am told there is a magnetic storm preventing us from tracking the mother and child.”

Satan knocked him up against a stone pillar and said, “Yes! Michael my adversary of old is interfering with my plans again! You will see that my child and the woman are found as soon as the storm passes. No mistakes! Or you will all suffer greatly. Now go!” Satan left and entered another chamber. A large boulder sealed up the entrance behind him. Malak and the other servants stood about nervously and discussed what to do next.

Early the next morning Julie was awakened. The child was to be born now.

She called out, “Val!? Jeff!? It's time.” Jeff and Val woke up and ran into her room to comfort her. They then prepared for delivery of the child. Moments later a beautiful healthy baby girl was born. She named her Catherine.

Later that night Michael visited Julie again. He told her to leave before dawn, travel north and head towards the white light.

Julie left the next morning a few hours before dawn. She drove down the road towards a white light in the sky. After about an hour the light stopped above a rest area and disappeared. As Julie pulled into the parking lot she saw a station wagon parked in front. She didn't see anyone around so she figured that they were using the facilities. She suddenly got a chilling feeling that the aliens would eventually find her. She wrote a note and fastened it to Catherine’s blanket. She got out of her car and took Catherine over to the station wagon. She kissed her and said, “I will always love you little Catherine.”

Sobbing, she left in her car hoping she could lead the aliens away from her daughter. Hoping her daughter would be safe from harms way.

The family who owned the station wagon came out to leave. They were John and Mary Borne along with their one and half year old son Darien. Darien's mother opened the door to put him in and saw little Catherine asleep on the seat.

She called out, “John! Look here! A baby!”

She took little Catherine into her arms. Her husband took the note and read it.

“My name is Julie Harris and this is my daughter Catherine. They are after us. They will find us eventually. I'm leaving her with you in the hopes that they will not find her. Please take care of Catherine and tell her that I will always love her. Her birthday is June 23, 1979. Thank you for your kindness and understanding. Julie Harris.”

Mary instantly fell in love with little Catherine. Her husband wanted to call the authorities.

Mary said, ”Let's take her home with us and we will decide what to do with her later.”

They got in the car and left for home.

Dawn broke as Julie desperately drove as fast as she could to get as far away from Catherine as possible.

Malak and the aliens soon homed in on her location and quickly intercepted her. They approached her speeding car firing plasma shots in front of her. She swerved to avoid the blasts but was struck on the side of her car. She spun out of control and crashed through a guardrail, which caused her car to flip over a few times and explode in a fireball. Malak and the aliens began to panic. They feared what would happen to them when their master found out that his child had been killed.

Local authorities soon learned of the accident and were on the scene to investigate. Agents Rogers and Richards were dispatched to work with the local authorities and confirm that the mother and child were both killed in the accident. The investigation revealed that only the mother was in the car at the time.

Malak returned to hell to report to his master.

Satan was enraged. “You incompetent fool! I should cast you into the abyss,” he said as he turned and walked away.

He went down a dark hallway that opened up into a massive chamber. At the center of the chamber was an abyss or bottomless pit. A stone bridge led over the pit to the other side.

“My child has been lost,” Satan said aloud.

A voice out of the abyss replied,” Everything is as it should be.”

“You promised to make me a living god,” Satan replied.

“All in good time my son. Time is on our side. Now you must rest. For your time will come soon enough,” said the voice in the abyss.

Satan went to lie down on a bed of rock on the other side of the abyss and said, “Yes mother. I will rest for now.”

John and Mary Borne returned home later that evening. The next morning they heard on the news that a woman identified as Julie Harris was killed in a tragic auto accident the day before and that authorities were looking for her newborn child. John went into his den to think about what to do. As he was sitting at his desk a brilliant light lit up the room.

Michael suddenly appeared before him and said, “Take care no one finds little Catherine. Love her as your own, for she is a special child.” He then vanished in a flash of light.

John told his wife what happened in the den. They feared for little Catherine's safety, so they decided to keep her identity a secret. If anyone questioned them about who she was, they simply said that she was John's niece and they were looking after her while his sister, Nancy Chambers, was away in Europe.
