The White & Gold People

2. The Awakening

'Somehow they could feel the energy, the change in consciousness, and vibration.'

The alarm on Laura's phone woke her up at 6am on the dot. Her room was dark and normally it would take a few moments for the rods in her eyes to become activated and provide a better picture. Not this time. Her sight was an illuminating yellow, it was as if someone had replaced her eyes with two mini suns, and that was all she could see.

There was no lighting in the room, and the curtains were closed. So why was everything around her bright yellow?

"Angela. Angela," Laura screamed.

"I can't see."

Laura questioned what was going on with her eyesight. She closed her eyes and rubbed them to try and get them back to normal. Everything was still illuminous yellow all around her, even when she kept her eyes closed.

First yesterday's drama, now this! There was only so much a young lady could bear.

"Angela wake up. Help me, I can't see."

She opened her eyes trying to locate the doorway to get to Angela's room but it was so bright and hurt like hell. Even with her eyes closed they still hurt. She closed her eyes and held her hands out to reach the walls, trying to feel her way to the door. Was this what being blind felt like? She stepped down hard on the electrical plug of her iPhone charger left carelessly on the floor, which unfortunately for her was turned upside down with the pins upright. The pain made her react in shock, lifting her leg up drastically and in doing so kicked the side of a wooden chair causing her to lose balance and fall flat on her ass.

"Ahhh," she groaned.

Angela burst into the room, having been woken up to all the commotion.

"Laura what's wrong?"

"Angela, thank God you're here."

"I can't see. Everything is bright yellow."

"I can't see a thing. I think I'm blind. Everything is so bright yellow," Laura said scared shitless.

Angela knelt down to reach Laura, and put her hands on each side of her chin. She pulled her hair back with her right hand freeing up space to fully inspect her eyes. They were covered in yellow; even she rotated her eyeballs the yellow was all around the full circumference of her eyes.

"Try opening them again," Angie said.

Laura squinted but it hurt. It was too bright.

"It's been like this for 2 minutes now; I don't know what to do."

"Let's go somewhere different," Angie suggested.

Angela lifted her up gently, and brought her into the living room. It was also dark there.

"Try now."

She squinted, but again it was still bright.

"OK, em, maybe if you open the curtains," Laura suggested.

"The sun's out. It would probably make it worse," Angela said.

"Trust me nothing could be as worse as this."

She walked over to the curtains, pulled them aside and opened the windows.

"Try again. This time open them fully, OK."

"OK."

"But you have to keep them open for 10 seconds."

"No way!"
