Elysium - A Journey 2 Impending Doom

A tall, wheatish young man in a casual s.h.i.+rt and blue jeans was fiddling with an amber locket. He had an athletic build, about 186 cm tall, sharp eyes, and handsome appearance. He was sitting in the waiting area, waiting for his flight to arrive. Now and then, he would attract the gaze of nearby onlookers, but his cold demeanor would keep people away.

A beautiful woman with dusky appearance in a black sari approached him with a bottle of water in her hands.

"Arav! Stop playing with that. It's an ANTIQUE"

"Where did you find it?"

"In a private auction. I paid a million dollar for it. Can you please be careful with it?"

"A million, for this piece of junk?"

The woman rolled her eyes and sighed.

"It's for my friend Jennifer. It's her family heirloom. Her uncle lost it in a gamble and she had been searching for it for ages. I'm just helping her. You should make time to meet her and deliver it to her. Also, it is an antique. So of course it will be worth that much. It's not just mo_"

"Okay Janhvi, I got it. My flight has arrived. I should be on my way", Arav stopped her charade as he heard announce of his flight's arrival.

He grabbed his bag and stood. He bid his farewell and went ahead to board his flight.

Midway through he stopped and turned to look back. Janhvi had already left. "Goodbye, my love. Goodbye forever", he muttered to himself.

The flight took off.

After few hours, inside the plane, a young man of 20 was looking around with a bored expression. He had a large headphone around his neck, a black sweats.h.i.+rt with the sign of Walker on it. His facial features were of j.a.panese. He stood not to tall about 176 cm, he had gla.s.ses which gave him a geeky appearance.

His eyes stopped at a bespectacled girl who was reading a book.

A pale complexioned hardly 20, with a symmetric high nose, and small mouth had an overall cute appearance in a white baggy s.h.i.+rt and blue jeans. The girl was not particularly beautiful. It was rather her expressions that attracted his attention.

This girl was, at times frowning, sometimes smiling while reading a book. He became curious about the book she was reading and more about her.

There was turbulence in the flight from time to time. A pa.s.senger sitting beside the bespectacled girl leaned on her, making her expressions become uncomfortable. That pa.s.senger was a woman in her mid 30s who was sleeping soundly. She tried to push back her neighbor, but she couldn't make her budge an inch. This woman was huge and the bespectacled girl was really tiny in front of her.

Exasperated, she looked around. Her eyes met with the j.a.panese man who was looking at her. He quickly turned his head. A flight attendant moving a trolley pa.s.sed through, it was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

"Excuse me, can you change my seat?" She enquired while pointing towards the neighboring pa.s.senger with her eyes.

"I'm really sorry about. I will see what I can do."

The flight attendant's response didn't bring any relief to her. She pouted. She nudged the shoulder of the woman till she woke up.

"Uhh.. Did we reach", said the woman confused.

"Yes, we will. Very soon. I was just wondering where you bought this bag. It's so….so…umm stylish", she said while looking at a weird looking bag with polka dots.

"Oh! You like this. It's nothing special. I randomly picked it up in somewhere in Europe. I don't know much about fas.h.i.+on"

"Is it? It looks nice on you. I'm Kiara by the way, and you are?"

"Fiona, a free spirited traveler"

"Oh. You are. I like travelling too"

Fiona and Kiara kept talking to each other. Kiara was going for a vacation in US and Fiona was coming from one. They instantly liked each other. Their conversation was gaining attraction from other bored pa.s.sengers.

After a while, the turbulence in the flight started getting worse and worse. Suddenly alarms started blaring. Rescue instructions kept on repeating.

"What's happening?", Arav asked a flight attendant.

"Please be seated and keep your seatbelts on", she replied as calmly as she could and moved towards her own seat. She almost reached her seats when all of a sudden, the flight trembled and the air hostess got thrown away.

"What's going on?"

"We're going to crash"

"I don't want to die. Please help."

People started panicking and crying.

The flight was shaking, throwing away luggage around.

A ear shattering sonic boom sounded.

And then the plane carrying 252 pa.s.sengers, 30 people from flight crew and two pilots, flying over the Atlantic Ocean vanished in to thin air.
