Astrid Sif Odinson-Foster was the happiest she had been in the gods know how long. It had been three years since well, I don't even have to say it ya'll already know what happened. But Astrid wasn't thinking about that, her alarm clock went off, the sound of the blaring repetitive noise jerked her from her comfortable sleep. The curtains were open and the New York sunrise shown through the window. It was finally summer in the cold, windy city and everything was completely back to normal. Taxis flooded the streets again, tourist and civilians walked around like it was a normal Tuesday and for once, it actually was.


She yawned, realizing she needed to get up off her ass and start getting ready for the day. As soon as her feet touched the cold floor, the déjà vu started. She vividly remembered her vision from years before but by now she had perfected her transition through the events that happened in her visions. Normally, she would freak out, her head would hurt and she'd need to sit down whenever something she saw in her visions began to happen in real life. But overtime and with the help of a very patient mother of hers, she figured out how to live in the déjà vu moment and not to let it live her.


So, she walked to the window, already knowing what would happen, her feet took the exact same steps, her eyes trained on the exact same spot. A noise could be heard from behind her as something...someone else touched the floor and made their way over to the window. "Astrid." She smiled a warm happy smile as she recognized the raspy voice that was her boyfriend. "My bad, did I wake you?" She asked him just as what had happened in her vision. Astrid whipped around , her now long blonde hair swishing in her face waiting for his response.

"No, I just saw how beautiful you looked in the sunlight."

"No, I just saw how beautiful you looked in the sunlight."


And as if on queue, she tackled the man she once hated and plastered him with kisses as the two made each others morning.

Now, you may be thinking: "Oh, since Astrid saw exactly what was happening in her vision and did everything with muscle memory, all she has to do is choose not to do what the vision says, duh!"

Ok no, first of all yah dingus, if you read the first book you'd know that Astrid can't change what she see's in the future. Remember, it was a curse placed upon her not a power. Part of the curse was for her to see the future but she can't change it and she'd have to live with the fact that she saw death and destruction but couldn't do anything to stop it. Long story short, when it's events like this that she get's visions for, her movements are already planned out. Still don't understand? Ok, think about it like this, in other words its like her body is programed to do the task in her vision. Like, right now, you're just sitting there doing whatever your doing, let's say your eating a bowl of cereal. If you had Astrid's visions, let's say for some reason the fates made you see you at 7AM eating a bowl of cereal. Well, when 7AM rolls around, it'll be like your brain knows exactly what's about to happen but your body doesn't, so you know exactly what's about to happen, you know you're about to spill that milk but your body doesn't know that, only your brain does.

Now yes, the brain controls the body but your brain isn't technically controlling your body, because think about it, Astrid's future brain saw what is about to happen, her present brain is just getting a bowl of cereal. So it's like you have two brains, future and present. The present brain, just getting a bowl of cereal. The future brain knows what cereal, what color bowl, when you spill the milk and what drink you drink with it. To sum it up, Astrid can not want to do the action but unless she finds a way to separate her brain somehow or something like that, she is fated to do whatever the future holds even if she saw it years before it even happened. Get it now? Ok cool back to the story.
