I See The Future Novels & Stories

he whispers to himself, looking away from me to have a silent freak-out, "That's why your mom wants to use you to gamble? And why you're so sure I won't die young. You don't just 'know' it, but you see it?" "Yes," I finally respond, sighing. There’s no point in lying or deflecting, "I can see the future... I can see multiple futures, to be honest. The most probable ones are very clear, but there's millions of options. A few things are destined to happen, but nothing is ever for certain, so the same thing could happen in a lot of different ways. Say... someone has to die, there's a million different ways for it to happen, but if it's something that big, it will happen even if I tried to stop

Not completely. Not permanently. But enough— To see how everything could change. And for the first time— I see it. A future. Not predetermined. Not inevitable. A future that— Shouldn’t exist. But does. Because I’m here. Because I refused to let everything end. And now— Now I just have to make it real.

My future. I look at the bags. The letter. The tomorrow that's waiting. And I know what I need to do. I'm ready.

Keith caught more than a thief in that alley. He caught a future. Our future. And I can't wait to see where it takes us.

“How do you see your future now? No wife; no son; no career, no love?” Lex froze. Oh no, it can't be. “I told you, that I know everything, I see everyone and everything. I am capable of everything. I can create your past in two A4 sheets and I can dissolve your future. I warned you; that nobody ever double-crosses me; I'm your worst nightmare, your dark nature. I saw your spirit and I acknowledged it for it was a smart and pure spirit. I gave you a chance to become part of us, you decided to play catch.”

“What was that?” I smiled at him, swallowing hard. “I think that was our future.” His eyebrows shot up. “But how?” “I’m not really sure.” I confessed. “When I make contact with people or objects, I sometimes see the future and other times I see the past. It happened with the grandfather clock on the stair landing and with your mother a couple of weeks after that. It’s been more frequent lately. Today I’ve had three visions including that one.” I dropped my hand from his cheek. I panicked a little wondering if I should have told him, especially now he looked concerned.

I nod my head at him and take a deep breath. “I finally decide to use my powers to see the future. I haven’t looked in years for fear of what I would see. Well, what I saw scared me. I saw two different futures. One is with a man, I don’t know who as he was blurred, but I was happy and could tell I was in love with whoever it is. The second vision was of me and Accalia tied up in a basement somewhere.” This has growls rippling through the room, but I hold my hand up so I can finish.

“You heard me. Riley is going to kill herself tonight. I need you to stop her. If you don’t, the questions you have will forever go unanswered.” “How do you know this? It hasn’t happened yet. That means you know someone who can see the future. Who are they?” My mind traveled to Jada’s aunt, but something still wasn’t sitting right. Zira couldn’t see the future that accurately. At least, not according to her niece and nephew. In his smoke and mirror eyes were answers, more answers than I could ever imagine. “I can’t tell you. Not yet, at least. All you need to know is that they’re a piece of the puzzle that will bring Phineas and the Eye down for good. If you trust anything, then trust that.”

Even if it meant she had to lie a little. " I don't know when it started, but for a little while now, I have been able to see the future through my dreams. I didn't think much of it but everything I dreamed about before had come to pass. I started to notice that I could see a glimpse of the future in my dreams. So I am sure that what I saw was a part of the future. I implore you to not take my words lightly." The hall fell silent for a moment as the council members pondered her words.

“I will always be watching. Always trying to guide you. Just listen, baby. Listen before it’s too late.” The world shattered around her— light exploding— her form fading— “Choose carefully, my love,” she cried as she disappeared. “SARAI!” I gasped awake, sitting upright in Malik’s arms. He was shaking me, eyes blazing red. “You were screaming,” he whispered, frantic. “What did you see?” I swallowed hard. Too stunned to speak. Too shaken to lie. “I saw the future,” I whispered. “And I don’t know if we survive it.”
