"You had a chance." Reaching up, he pushed a string of hair behind her ear. It wasn't her real hair, but he didn't seem to mind. "In the end, you failed. All of you did."
Struggling to breathe, Roslin opened her eyes. Her eyes fluttered for several seconds as she tried to regain her sight from the blurry shapes. She gasped as she felt a hand caress her cheek. Even in her current state she could tell it was not Bill's.
"So beautiful. It's always amazed me that such tragedy can manifest so magnificently." His voice was a gentle whisper, meant to be soothing to her ears. This was accompanied by soft fingers combing over her forehead.
"What...do you want?" The effort to speak sapped a lot of her strength and she found herself drifting again. Only his comforting touch kept her awake.
He giggled. The sound almost indistinct from the world around them. "I figured you would want to know the truth." His fingers slid down the side of her face to cup her chin.
She was forced to look up. Stabbing pain shot through her neck, but she had to know. Opening pained eyes, she looked upon the face of her comforting tormentor. Shock made her gasp, deep and wheezing. "Oh, my gods."
"Not quite." Felix smiled down upon her. His curls shown in the brilliant light of the rising sun. "They have been watching over you, though."
"No." Laura shook her head in denial. "It can't be." Gasping, she began to struggle to breathe. "You're dead!"
His smile never wavered. "You know better than that." His thumb slid over her chin to lie softly against her cheek.
"How?" She shook her head to indicate she didn't really care. It wasn't real, he wasn't real. This was just one of her last neurons firing before she died.
Chuckling, he rubbed his thumb in circles over her cheek. "That's okay, you don't have to believe me. We believe in you and that's what matters." Felix cocked his head so that the light appeared to make him glow.
It hurt her to look at him so she shut her eyes. Laura tried to ignore the feel of his touch and how it comforted her. Even as she tried to deny it her face turned in to it.
"You are beginning it all again." His voice was so small, but he was closer this time. "This time the cycle will be broken." His lips touched her forehead. "May be then you'll listen to our words, spoken through our chosen voices." Trailing his lips down, he kissed the spot between her brows. "Follow the clues and come find us." He kissed her right eye. "Out there." He kissed her left eye. "Among the stars."
Her eyes shot open. She searched for him but found only the cockpit window of the Raptor. A fine tremor began through her. Some how she knew, this was all a mistake. They were doing it wrong. This wasn't the right choice. Then a familiar hand settled on her own.
Looking over, she found Bill watching her. The warmth and love in his eyes erased the sense of dread. Soon, the entire matter was forgotten and she looked forward to where they would be landing.
Standing at the back of the Raptor, Six wrinkled her nose at Felix.
He smiled back at her.
They would both wait and see where things went this time.
