Chapter 3
Coincidence
Her body unwillingly shifted around a corner breaking the staring match. She let out a breath she didn't even realise she was holding. She, along with her neighbours, was being escorted to a semi dark area that looked like a hall. Pillars that boasted of a muted white glow adorned the sides, from her peripheral vision she saw objects suspended in mid-air emitting a strange glow to which she could only name them as a light source. Her gaze unwillingly lifted to the ceiling or what she thought would have been one. Instead she saw little blinking silver dots pinned to a black curtain. But they moved. Because of her talents, she had always been able to see distances greater than the human eye. She never questioned her abilities, because she knew that they made her who she was. Different…not better; but different. Even before her powers had manifested she had never felt the emotion of belonging. Yet as she gazed at these dots, she felt a strange familiarity and…comfort?
How is that possible? This is a strange new place for me, yet the peace that exists here is like no other.
She continued to muse as her gaze continued to observe the silver dots. As she continued her musings, colours began to fill the void, red clouds filled with sparkling colours: gold, purple, pink, silver. Her heart galloped as she realised she was staring at the birth of stars within the clouds. Her mind raced with the new information. As she looked to her right a wide space that afforded a view to the outside, realisation sunk in. For once fear replaced her astonishment as she realised she was no longer on solid ground but rather the celestial heavens she thought that she would never reach until death.
Maybe I am dead. But then why would I see him in the afterlife. No! NO! This cannot be happening! I am not dead!
Slowly terror gripped her, causing her breathing to become erratic, her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, but her heart sped faster. She was afraid. Sensing someone by her side, her eyes looked up to find a familiar pair of silver dots looking at her, the eyes laced with concerned.
"You need to relax; we are not going to hurt you, and no, you are not dead, just in case you were wondering."
She heard the smile in voice.
What the-? I can understand him? How is can he speak my language? This makes no sense! Frustration slowly began to make its way to her nerves.
"Relax, or you'll end up even more frustrated, trust me," he continued amused, as if he could have read the very emotion that was coursing through her being.
His mask hid the emotions that were not conveyed in his voice. Irritation slowly crept into her mind.
HAH! No way in the universe I WOULD trust you! After my premonitions, you could very well be sending me to a slaughter house. You're lucky I can't move, otherwise I would rip your head off.
She heard a small chuckle.
No... he couldn't have... no!
He watched her go, still floating in mid-air, towards the marking room. Here they would be marked with a seal that would have their planet of origin and their station as a tiny prick of blood would have their genetic code determined within seconds. Then the true tests would begin.
"Assign that female to the house of Abrasax. And keep an eye on her," he instructed.
With that he walked away wondering what she had meant by these premonitions.
