Space Witch - Chapter 16

We spent an hour throwing various ideas at each other while we looked over the map. None of them made a lot of sense, and I finally called for a break. Jatal had gone down to the hold to speak with his men, and Z had gotten the three of us glasses of water.

“Fuck, I’m getting hungry again. I kind of want to tear into the crate of food Cynthia gave us.”

“Shit, I forgot about that. You sure it is food?” I asked.

“Yeah. I opened it up as soon as we got you back into your room. Used a scanner to make sure there was nothing transmitting a signal. She probably wanted her men to stock our pantry with the stuff so she could take her first pleasure cruise as soon as they put bullets in our heads.”

“The exact opposite will happen as soon as we return.” Eve’s voice normally didn’t contain much emotion, but these words were filled with anger.

“Good,” Z said as she raised her water glass to toast the red-eyed woman.

“Eve, will you tell me about your powers?” I asked the vampire.

“My powers?” Her eyes met mine.

“Yeah. You spoke earlier about witchcraft. Can you tell me how it works? I’m wondering if there is something that we can use against Alloprize.” I nodded at the red dots on the map.

“Hmmm. I do not know if I can help much, but I will explain how they work.”

“Oh shit, I’m kind of excited,” Z said as she flopped into one of the gunner chairs beside the holographic map platform.

“You know I can read surface thoughts,” Eve began.

“How deep can you go? How does it work?” I pressed.

“It depends on the individual and their mental fortitude. I cannot enter their brain and know everything about them and every thought they have ever had. But minds wander, and I can follow the paths they take. For example, I could not immediately know someone’s middle name, or where they were from, but if I asked them, they’d likely think of the true answer before speaking, even if they chose to lie, so I could read that thought. One could thwart my powers by consciously focusing their thoughts on something else, but since most do not understand that I even possess this power, let alone how it works, this does not happen.”

“Did you read the thoughts of the prisoners?” I asked.

“Yes, but I learned nothing we do not already know. They are low ranking members of the corporation’s army.” Eve shrugged.

“Alright. What other powers do you have?” I asked.

“You know about this,” she said as she let go of her water glass. It didn’t fall to the ground though. Instead, it floated in the air in front of the woman, and she lowered her arm.

“Shit,” Z whistled.

“I have fed recently. This feels easy,” Eve said as the glass spun in the air. The water poured out and formed a bubble as if there was no gravity on the bridge. “Although it is easier when the object is solid.
