You heard beeping as you slowly regained consciousness. You tried to open your eyes but you couldn't. In fact, you couldn't see at all. You became scared and tried to feel around but you could only move your right hand. Your left arm was in some sort of cast and your body hurt too much to move. You tried to turn your head but winced. Had you also broken your neck? You tried to open your mouth but it was very hard to. Your body hurt but not as much as before when you were injured right then and there. You were about too call out to someone when you felt yourself completely shut down. You then lost consciousness again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You groaned and slowly slipped back into consciousness. What happened? Where were you? You moved your head around to feel that the cast around your neck was gone and that it didn't hurt as much when you moved it. You breathed a sigh of relief. You then moved your left arm around to feel that it wasn't in a cast anymore and that it felt much better. In fact, your whole body felt much better! You moved around and frowned. You still couldn't see at all though. Was something covering your eyes? You then heard some movement and turned your head in that direction.
"Hello?" You spoke and you frowned. Your voice sounded so raspy! You heard a gasp and some rushed footsteps. You then felt someone lean on the bed.
"You're awake! That's good." You frowned at the voice. Who's was it?
"Who...are you?" You questioned. You then clenched your throat. It felt so dry. The person let out a small gasp and rushed around to find some water. They then lifted the cup to your lips since you couldn't see the cup. You allowed the person to help you drink the water and once you were done, you felt much better.
"Better?" You nodded. The person smiled at you and let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, I'm Doctor Baker by the way. I've been here watching over you ever since you fell into a coma." You gasped.
"Coma!?" You cried out and immediately regretted it. You coughed as your throat hurt. Doctor Baker frowned and handed you something round and hard.
"Here, have these. They'll help." You felt the cough drops and frowned.
"What are these?" You questioned. Doctor Baker smiled.
"They're cough drops. They should help with your sore throat." You nodded and took in the cough drops. You then grimaced. These were the disgusting kind. Doctor Baker laughed at your expression. "Disgusting, right?" You nodded and forced yourself to suck on them. You then gave Doctor Baker a questioning look.
"Um, so I'm guessing I'm in a hospital, right?" Doctor Baker nodded, although you couldn't see so for yourself.
"Yeah. You were brought here six months ago right after the peace keeper attack. You were caught up in one of its blasts." Doctor baker told. A surprised look crossed your face.
"Wait, I've been asleep for six months!?" You cried. Doctor Baker nodded, again forgetting the fact you couldn't see.
"Yes. I'll have to inform your parents of your awakening. They've been worried sick about you." You frowned at the fact that you've worried your parents. You then tried to look at the doctor questioningly but you didn't know where he was.
"Um, Doctor Baker? When can I take these bandages off my eyes? I can't see with them on." Doctor Baker froze and gave you a pitiful look. He then sighed and looked to the side.
"Listen, I'm sorry to say this, but...it's about your eye sight. I know I shouldn't be the one saying it, but I will. Due to the laser from the red core hitting your eyes, you've been blinded. Permanently." You froze at what he said.
"Permanently...?" You whispered. The doctor nodded.
"Yeah, you won't be able to see ever again I'm afraid." You gripped your bed sheets as tears stained the bandages that covered your eyes. Why? Why did this have to happen? Why did it have to be you? You so badly wanted to rip these bandages off and see so for yourself, but you couldn't. You knew that the doctor wasn't lying. Why would he be? You sighed and laid back down.
