PROLOGUE

Chemist Yuganty S. Bouriha lay very still on the ground of her most beloved place of the world. Her office workspace. The point at that moment was to let the intruders assume she was dead for real and not hatching some plans to escape their manslaughter. The footsteps would come near her and than fade away. This kept on happening for a long time, a very long time indeed. She prayed to all the Gods she worshipped for her to let live for just a few more hours when dawn shall grace the earth's surface. She would be free then or what she hoped.

A shriek in the distant corner of the top storey building of their office was heard muffled by a thunder, lightning lit the entire place bit she dared not to open her eyes and peek. What if she was peeking right into the eyes of death? Often nature would ally such crimes just like in the good old novels or movies, she thought to herself. Someone alive has been caught. It might be her turn the next time, who knew. Her heartbeats started rising up vigourously. Blood pumped to her face at an abnormal pace. Any moment from now she might get a heart attack out of panic.

"It seems like our job here is done, Kri. We should be leaving this place before the time we decided just in case to avoid any contingencies. Did you check this place properly?" a man with a sing-song voice broke the silence.

Yuganty forced her eyes shut and tried listening to the calm voice of the other intruder. There was nothing that she could hold of except his hissing and the word "God". What a tragic irony it was! They must have thought of playing God today, killing an entire group of intellectuals from all over the world. The World Chemist Organisation Headquarters was in taters and no one absolutely no one could save all these men today. No. Not even God. Funny that. You pray to invisible forces against darkness but when things are to happen they will, by any means and through anyone. Guess we all have a bit darkness in us which propels us to do heinous jobs.

The criminals left silently but she was not sure. So she laid still for hours before some security men found everybody including her. The difference was that there were no survivors except her. She looked everywhere. Blood blood and only blood.Her most treasured space in the world was gone and all her colleagues were dead. Why did this had to happen? How could people be so cruel? Will she be able to live this tragedy out where only she was the survivor? Countless questions started nagging her to the pits of hell and made her depressed and remorseful. She should have been dead too. But if she lives on she will take revenge on those thugs who destroyed her life in hours. She escaped the barbaric scenes in despair and ran to the only place she thought she was safe.
