Snippet #2525330

Sitting on a bed in the Barracks Gabriel tapped his cane in a slow rhythm along with his heartbeat. He was breathing slow and deep trying to put himself into the trance to see what would happen next. "One, two, three," He counted with his breathing. His unseeing eyes observing more that most would imagine. He was falling deeper into the trance. The farseeing vision would come soon. He could feel the power pulling his mind away from the present and into the future.

Pain erupted behind Gabriel's eyes as an image of the unnatural creatures true form blasted through his mind. It was too much, his mind couldn't comprehend it's shape, its geometry. It was a swirling mass of nothing, and everything. It devoured all; absorbing life into its being where that life became one with the creature. It was angry at being held at bay for so long, but it was close now, it was hungry, and it knew he was watching. The creature began to pull at him, to try and absorb him from the future. The laws of time bending to it's will.

"Let me go!" Gabriel shouted as he pulled out his knife and shoved it deep into his thigh. The sudden pain completely broke him out of the trance. "Shit," He murmured as the pain in his leg throbbed. His new teammates were going to be here any minuet, and he couldn't let them see him with a knife in his leg. "Ada. I need some help in here!" he called out.
