“No, she’s not.”

The vision came to a standstill. Arianna, pulled from Ray’s memories of the airport attack, held him, perpetually frozen in time. Celia’s white glowing hand pointed an index finger at Arianna’s head. “Your girlfriend’s syncing with your mind, telepathically.”

Ray shook his head in denial. “Arianna’s human, she works for Yoshida. They wouldn’t hire an IW, registered or not.”

“I don’t know what to tell you.” Celia shrugged. “But at this point, your mind was getting opened up with telepathy. If it wasn’t her, and I really doubt that, then it was someone else.”

“There were other IWs there, maybe it was them?”

“Yeah, and none of them were telepaths, except for …”

Ray and Celia approached the fall to the runway. They saw nothing but a blur of colors. Ray at the time wasn’t looking at the drop, and therefore wouldn’t know what was going on regarding the ponytailed man, who had been standing near it before he vanished.

Celia crossed her arms. “Thing is, it feels like it was coming from her, and no one else. That guy that stepped through that portal thingy is a telepath, yeah, but he ain’t here anymore.”

“You’re sure of that?”

“Positive. Don’t forget, we’re both in your head. I can experience what you did. The only difference is I’m a telepath. I can sense telepathic power coming from your girl, Arianna. I was able to sense it from that guy with the ponytail, right up until he vanished.”

“Where did he go?”

“The fuck if I know. Never seen a telepath just vanish into thin air like that.”

They both returned to the still visage of Arianna holding Ray. Celia was convinced Arianna was a witch. Ray was convinced it was a trick, mental manipulation, like the one Celia used. It’d explain the change of character in Arianna’s personally. She went to the EU, and someone else came back in her place, a telepath that made people around them see Arianna, and not the real IW they were.

The AIT agents also claimed Arianna’s name wasn’t on any of the flights. She was still in the EU as far as he was concerned, and her business trip took a turn for the worst. An IW chose her, of all women, to impersonate. That had to be it. There’s no way Ray had been putting his penis in a witch for the past five years and then want to marry her. And what of her parents, Norris and Maria? They weren’t witches.

Nothing was changing Ray’s mind on that.

Ray looked at himself in the vision. It was the version of himself that was seconds away from blacking out, only to awake with weird shit in his brain. “What’s happening to my head exactly? Because as I recalled I blacked out a second later.”

Celia motioned to the frozen image. “Let’s see.”

Ray’s memories of the airport incident continued like someone hit the play button. He saw Arianna hold him and mutter words that made little sense, acting out of character as he remembered. The airport turned black, leaving Ray and Celia standing, hovering in space without stars.
