The curiosity of it one day coming true, of one day finding her and enjoying her like that…
Of feeling that emotion for real rather than via the stranger in my Vision…
And yes, I was a stranger to myself in that scene.
It showed a version of me I thought I would never see, a version that had never existed.
I sniffed, attempting to breathe in the female’s scent from across the room.
I should have breathed her in earlier to validate my suspicions but had been so shocked at her presence that it had not occurred to me.
I was not going to get another wink of sleep until I knew for certain, so I got up from my cot and crept across the darkness.
It had already shortened as the prison’s lighting system flicked on, the morning routine already kicking into gear.
I gingerly stepped into the light and crossed to her.
She was still sleeping and lay on her back with her arm above her head.
She could have been another female, I thought, possessing only a passing resemblance to the female in my Distant Vision.
The galaxy was a big place and there would be countless females who—
Then she turned over and I saw the exact same profile as in my Vision:
The smooth curve of her cheek, the high cheekbones.
All that was missing was the smile of immense happiness on her face and her glittering eyes as she peered back at me.
I breathed her in without thinking, and she filled my nostrils.
I stumbled back, knowing I would recognize her scent anywhere.
She was the female from my Vision!
There was no doubt of that now!
The only question was, what happened next?
It was a question I had always been able to answer with my unique ability, but now I was at a loss.
I didn’t know how things would pan out, if that Distant Vision would really take shape or not.
And that uncertainty, more than anything, terrified me.
I turned back to my cot and fell onto it.
I would need to be careful, I knew.
This could all be part of the Supervisor’s plot to ensnare me and use my ability for his own purposes.
And yet, I couldn’t help but feel a connection with the female.
Yes, I thought. I was going to have to be careful indeed.
Very careful.
