Sinopse

In a world teetering on the brink of collapse, the final days of civilization are marked not by war or natural disaster, but by a mysterious force known only as “The Quiet.” Cities turn into ghost towns overnight, and humanity’s remaining survivors are left to wonder if they, too, will disappear. Amelia Ashford, a pragmatic and intelligent scientist, stumbles upon a group of people immune to the effects of the Quiet. Bound by their will to survive, they forge a fragile alliance to uncover the secrets of this impending doom. As the group struggles against time, they discover a deeper truth: Calm is not an end, but a transformation. The end of the world marks the beginning of a new world, but only those strong enough to face it can survive to see it through. Emilia must choose between saving the ones she loves or unleashing a terrifying potential that could reshape reality itself. It's my first time writing, and I'm just having fun with this novel I know it's not perfect, but I'm really enjoying the process of sharing my ideas. I hope readers can enjoy the story for what it is and follow along as I keep learning and improving. Thanks for reading!

Chapter 1After the beginning of silence

The city stood still, as if time itself had come to a halt. Emilia Ashford gazed out from her lab window, surveying the streets below. What once was a bustling metropolis was now eerily quiet, its towering buildings casting long shadows over the empty roads.

Cars lay abandoned mid-street, their owners long gone. No one knew where they had disappeared to, or why they had vanished without a trace. But Emilia had a theory a theory she wasn't sure she wanted to prove.

"quiet", as they called it, had begun weeks ago. It was quiet at first: communications between small towns were cut off, and there were isolated incidents of entire neighborhoods losing power overnight. Then calm descended on the city, followed by panic.

The government rushed to evacuate, but it was too late. Within days, entire neighborhoods had surrendered to whatever alien force was present. Now there weren't many people left.

She was alone. Emilia wasn't literally alone, but the people she was with were few and desperate. She had always prided herself on her ability to remain calm under pressure, but even she couldn't ignore the unease deep within her.

There was a calm, and they still didn't understand what it was. There were no natural disasters, no signs of chemical warfare, no evidence of mass illness. Just… nothing.

Her gaze shifted to the small group of survivors who had been greeted by the three others, all of them looking confused and nervous. Aaron, the ex-soldier, was sitting sharpening a knife, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. His distrust of everyone was noticeable, though Emilia couldn't blame him.

Diana, their unspoken leader, was on the rooftop, watching. She hadn't said much since their arrival, but her determination was evident in every move she made. The youngest, a teenage boy named Mark, was fiddling nervously with a radio that hadn't picked up a signal in days.

"I'll go check the lab again," Emilia said, her voice breaking the heavy silence. Aaron groaned, barely paying attention to her, as Mark gave her a hopeful look that maybe, just maybe, she would find something to make all of this go away and save them.

Downstairs, the lab was as cold and sterile as ever. Rows of computers and monitoring equipment lined the walls, each trying in vain to make sense of the unfathomable. Sitting at her workstation, she began running the same programs she had been using for the past few days, hoping for any new data, any anomaly that might give her a clue.

Nothing.

The "Quiet" wasn't like anything she had ever seen before. It didn't behave like a disease, nor did it affect everyone the same way. Some people vanished without a trace, while others, like her group, seemed to be immune for now. What terrified her most wasn't the people who disappeared, though. It was the way the world around them was changing, becoming something…else.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Diana appeared at the door, her expression as calm as ever.

"Did you find anything?" she asked in her clipped, professional.

"I didn't find anything, but I'm still looking," Emilia replied, not bothering to hide her frustration. "No patterns, no signs. Just… silence."

Diana nodded, leaning against the doorframe. "We can't wait much longer. Supplies are running low, and the others are getting restless."

Emilia sighed, rubbing her temples. "I know. But going out there… I don't think it's safe."

"There is no safe place," Diana said simply, "but we have to move soon, before this thing gets to us too."

A shiver ran down Emilia's spine. "Quiet" was coming to them, that much was certain. And if they didn't figure out what it was or how to stop it, there would be no one left to remember what the world was like before.

"Really? Or is it because last night affected you so much that you couldn't stand being around me?" "Don't flatter yourself, Snow. You didn't affect me at all." He smirked, stepping closer. "Is that so?" His fingers brushed my chin, tilting my face up. My pulse quickened. "We're at work," I snapped, swatting his hand away. "This isn't professional." "You're my wife," he murmured. "You're supposed to obey me at all times." I bit back a retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. Slowly, I stepped closer, letting my fingers graze his chest. His smirk wavered for a second when his wolf reacted and Snow bit his lips. "Careful, Boss," I purred seductively. "Don't hurt those lips. I'm sure plenty of girls would love to kiss them." Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. "And you? Are you dying for a taste?" Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. "Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance against—" I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless. *************** MATURE CONTENT Participating in the Viral Book Call Contest.
