My Mafia Uomo

Chapter 1

Scarlet got up from her seat and eagerly pulled at my arm. "Come on! You know you want to spend some time with your bestie!" She giggled at me. I shook my head softly as I packed my notebook into my bag standing up. "I would scarlet but I have to finish this essay, so how about tomorrow?" I asked her smiling as I swung my white bag over my shoulder. "Fine Amy but we are going clubbing then! Let lose!" The brown eyed, blonde girl shouted at me eagerly as she dropped my arm. I glanced over at a few students as they watched us as they left the lecture room, they probably stared because scarlet was being quite loud but that's just who she was and I wouldn't change that.

"Fine fine! Tomorrow it is then!" I laughed pushing a strand of my hair behind my ear as I began to leave the lecture room with Scarlet quickly following behind me. "So I'll bring my stuff and we can get ready together! I'll be there for 5." She said as she quickly walked next to me as I opened the exit doors to the university.

This was my 2nd year at university I was 20 years old and still had two years left. I was studying psychology as i was interested in how other peoples brains work, how they think, why people do what they do. I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do after I graduated in two years but I knew it was to do with psychology.

I quickly turned to Scarlet and hug her before we said our goodbyes and I began to walk home. I only lived a 20 minute walk from the university and could catch a 10 minute bus if I wanted too but today was quite a nice day. The sun was out shining beside a few light coloured clouds so I decided to walk home. As I got home I fiddled about in my bag trying to find my keys, I pulled out an A key ring which had my keys attached to it. Unlocking the door the my small apartment which used to be a two story house. It had now been turned into a downstairs flat which was mine and an upstairs flat which was a middle aged woman's that worked at the salon down the road.

I walked through the hallway down into the kitchen/living room area. The kitchen was to the right of the room which has it's normal appliances and there was a breakfast bar which I eat on and sometimes did my work on. To the left of the room was the living room side, there was a small black sofa, a glass coffee table in front of it and then a medium sized black tv on the wall. The apartment was small and simple but it was only for the time while I was at university so I wasn't bothered by it. I had grown quite fond of the little apartment and made it my own by putting pictures of me and Scarlet around, as well as putting some plants around to make it seem more like home.

I looked over at the clock '15:00' it read so I grabbed my laptop turning it on as well as the tv as I found something to watch and then began to try and finish my essay.

2 hours later

I groaned at myself sitting on my couch as I looked from the tv to the laptop sitting in my lap. I had clearly gotten to distracted by the film and had only written two sentences in the past hour. I needed to finish the essay before tomorrow as I had promised Scarlet I'd go out with her.

I sighed softly pushing the laptop of my lap onto the couch beside and as I did I heard the doorbell go. I quickly paused my film, standing up at I placed the remote on the coffee table. I thought to myself wondering who it was 'maybe the post man, no it's 5 in the afternoon why would the post man come at this time. Or maybe it was Scarlet, but I had said tomorrow not today?'.

As I got to the door I unlocked it slowly opening it ajar to peak out to see who it was. Before me stood a tall man, he must have been in his mid 20's. He had piercing green eyes, and dark brown hair which was slick back with some gel. He wore a suit which I found quite odd but shook it off thinking nothing of it.

"Sorry to bother you miss, am I alright to use the toilet? I thought I could wait until I got home but my bladder said otherwise." He said smiling softly at me through the gap of the door.

"O-oh of course" I stuttered slightly as I opened the door allowing him to come in. I closed the door behind him keeping the warmth in as it was nearly winter so the temperature had suddenly dropped at night lately.

I looked back to the man as I watched him look down the plain light grey hallway. "The bathroom is just this way." I say beginning to walk down the corridor before I suddenly felt his hand grip my arm tightly.

"Is ever-" I began to say as I turned to look at him but before I could apprehend what was about to happen a white handkerchief cloth was shoved across my mouth. I looked at him confused and suddenly breathed in, soon regretting my decision as I looked at him. I tried to wriggle out of his grip but it was too late, I could feel myself becoming dizzy and before I knew it my knees gave out below me. He caught me, picking up my body in bridal style before the darkness overtook me.
