I saw the horror I saw it all. I saw his face as his ship did explode I saw in my mind I could not scream but I felt ripped apart as I watched his ship implode.
I begged him not to leave me I begged not to go now I must spend my days alone out here on the Rim looking out to Io. I hate to see the suns rise I no longer want their rays. I can’t bare to think what they will say, I shall spit on their words of praise.
When they learn he is dead I shall be pushed away to the side they will not want to be reminded of death I don’t care I will hide. I will find a freighter or a skyhopper and blag my way aboard I will find he who killed my lover and him no mercy will I afford.
For now I shall keep my silence I shall grieve in silence and hide my living hell. I shall wait for the news to break, I shall no one tell. They must never know I have powers, not know I have the sight. I am clever though and I shall find an excuse to explain why I dislike the light , why I dance in shadows and rejoice in the night.
So for now alone on the edge awaiting the dawn here on the outer rim of Orion I watch the light arrive on Caprica with the morn. From here I see far beyond the horizon the endless night skies to where they reach down to frozen lands where endless snow flies.
He flew his ship around Io as he watched for ships from Jupiter below.No point in praying for his safe return and without him for me there is no life I know.No point in praying for him to return again for in my mind’s eye I saw the second his ship was struck,I saw him crash in flames.
