Staring At The Future Novels & Stories

A time when things made sense, when the future was something to look forward to, not something to fear. “Yup. Let’s just watch it.”

"It means while they searched your mind you saw glimpses of the future." The room froze. Future. My heart pounded. Stefan. The attacks. Kaels death. Chloes betrayal. No. No. No. I swallowed hard. "Future?" "Possibilities " She corrected. "Nothing is written in stone." What I saw may come to pass it may not. I knew. The things I saw were real. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. Someday. I was not ready. Not yet.

After a long time, I opened my sore, stinging eyes. Darkness filled my vision. My tears wouldn’t stop falling. “Nina! Nina, you’re awake?” Anthony rushed to my side and gently wiped away my tears. “Nina, I’m sorry… the doctor said… your eyes… you might not be able to see anymore.” He lowered his head, a bit guilty, then remembering I couldn’t see his expression at all, he softly took my hand. “Nina, don’t be afraid. I won’t abandon you. I’ll be your eyes from now on. Our wedding will just be postponed.”

“The future. Not everything... but glimpses. Fragments. Tiny pieces of what’s to come.” I froze. The words took a moment to settle, like cold water slowly filling every crevice of my mind. “What do you mean, glimpses?” His gaze flickered to me, but it was clear he wasn’t seeing me. Not really. His focus was somewhere else—somewhere far beyond the here and now. “I’m not sure. But every time I think about something, when I focus... I can see paths. Outcomes. Possibilities. It’s like a thousand different futures are spinning in my mind, but I can’t control which one I’m seeing.”

The pack. The future. The responsibilities waiting just beyond this moment. Our eyes meet. And suddenly I realize something. Last night was the beginning. The beginning of the future we're about to build together.

But tonight… Tonight, I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, my mother’s words echoing in my head. You don’t have the luxury of waiting. My hand slowly moved to my stomach. I closed my eyes and made myself a promise. One way or another… I would secure my future.

I looked out the window at the mountain rising against the stars, at the power sleeping in its heart, at the future waiting to be claimed. And I smiled.

And I know. I will never break what they have. Not in a million years. As we move to the trampolines, I glance at Shane, but he’s not looking at me. He’s looking at Madison. Watching. Staring. And I know. I will never have my husband back. Because he’s still stuck in the past. And I? I’m finally seeing the future.

she chuckles. "But when I met you, I started to believe. If my ability is so incredible why wouldn't I believe what I see in you? If other people hear this they'll think I'm crazy...but...maybe I am ...maybe I really am crazy." "There are things in this world that it's better not to pay attention to. Whether you see something or not...it's better not to think about it." "I want to see your future, don't you want to know what your future is?" I smirked, before standing up.

Before that, he had carried me on his back across two blocks and vowed to stay by my side as long as we lived. I'd once believed we would be together forever. But Gianna gradually stole his tenderness and ground away his patience toward me. In the end, the very man who once fought with everything he had to protect me forgot the one thing he should never have forgotten about me. I closed my eyes, and the desperate video call from the future came to my mind again. There I was in the basement, hollow-eyed and in despair, begging myself to run. I often found myself wondering what would've happened to me if I hadn't left back then and just kept walking the path I was on.
