Destiny

CHAPTER 1

(Emily's Pov)

It was October month, I was walking down the stairs from my office.. Johnson Corporation, heading home from work. The cool wind was blowing making my hair go haywire I smoothened them down and put them into a braid, I just wanted to get over with the day. As I headed towards the parking lot I felt my cell phone vibrating through my jeans pocket. I picked it up as it was my mom.

"Hi Sweeti", She said in a cheerful voice.

"Hi Mom", I replied trying to match her cheerful voice but failing terribly as the tiredness seeped through my voice.

After telling her I will be home within an hour I ended the call and headed towards my car. A White Chevrolet Malibu.

I started the car and headed towards home. It took nearly 45 mintues to reach home with all the traffic and I was really exhausted, it was already 9pm. I just wanted my bed and to sleep for years without distraction but I guess I won't get my wish anytime soon.

As soon as I entered my apartment I was greeted with a smiling face of my mother with a huge warm cup of coffee in her hand, all ready and waiting for me. She was really too much caring all the time and I loved her. After a hug and kiss to her cheek I took the coffee from her hand and collapsed on the couch in the living room.

After dinner I went straight to bed after saying good night to my parents and fell into a dreamless sleep.

I woke up from sound of my alarm blaring and groaned as I had to get up to get ready for work and continue the boring routine. I was seriously in need of a weekend which seemed too far away right now although it was just two days away. I switched off my alarm and got up. I got ready with a lightening speed and after a quick breakfast and a goodbye kiss to mom I was headed off to work.

The day passed in a blink of an eye as I was too busy to even think about anything else. After the last meeting I literally collapsed on my chair. All my colleagues had already gone home except for two with whom I was attending the meeting. After the wrap up I asked them to leave and headed towards the office kitchen to get myself a coffee before going home.

It was already 9pm when I left my office, the streets were nearly deserted, the air was chilly although it was just the beginning of October month and it doesn't get really cold until the end of the month here in New York. The atmosphere seemed a little eerie and I was the only soul standing on the street across from my office building. Still wondering why the atmosphere was suddenly so spooky I started walking towards my car. But stopped suddenly when I heard someone calling my name.

"Ms Wilson" a deep voice said from behind me.

I turned around to find two men in suits walking towards me. They were dressed in identical black suits with black ties.

"Are you Ms Emily Wilson?" one of them asked me.

"Ya.. Yes" I said, my voice wavering. There was something about them that was making me uncomfortable.

"You will have to come with us Ms. Wilson, either you come willingly or we will have to use other means"

"What do you want? Why do I have to come with you?" I asked, backing away from them, trying to get towards my car which was just a few feets away.

The two men looked at each other and sighed before one of them stepped forward grabbing my right arm in his deathly grip while the other one took out a syringe. My eyes widened and I tried struggling but it was too late as the content of the syringe were forced inside me. My vision became blurred as I lost consciousness.
