Mighty's Book of Oneshots 4

Blinded

Author's Note: Here's a bit of an idea that I have had for a couple of days. So uh, don't anger the Watchers everyone.

 You never know what kinda punishment that they have planned for you. It could be similar to the one your friend got, or you could be stuck floating for eternity as a scientific study only for an Ex-Watcher and two other men find you and try to bring you back from the brink of death. 

 I mean what? 

 Anyways,

 Enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------  

 Martyn's POV: 

 The eyes. 

 Oh goodness those burning eyes that stared straight into my very soul. 

 Is this what happened to Zee after Grian left and Pearl n' Taurtis vanished? I laid down on the ground and breathed heavily as the pain seemed to wrap around my eyes.

 My tail twitched as I whined. The curse that I got was kicking in as I felt my fingers turning into hooves and some antlers growing in. Hopefully, my hoof-hands will be like Price's and I'll still be able to hold things. 

 I highly doubt this though. 

 My whole body was shaking as the burning turned into a numbing pain when I gently tried to open my eyes. Eventually I stopped trying; the pain was too much, and I could barely move as it is. 

 The weak cries that came from Jimmy was next to me. He wasn't saying anything, but I could just barely make out his cries to the left of me. As best as I could, I moved towards the whimpers until I found Solidarity and he let out a panicked yelp. 

 " I-I don't know who y-you are, but I can still fight!" Jimmy spoke weakly as I felt air move around me. Was he trying to hit me? I shook my head and moved past the man's flailing arms until my hand was against one of his shoulders. 

 Solidarity let out another whine as I put both my hoof hands against him and gently pulled him into a hug. The Evolutionist struggled until I spoke to him, " Jimmy, Jimmy it's me Martyn.... I-I haven't left you mate." I told him as the struggling slowed down to a stop. 

 " M-Marty? Oh my god Martyn... W-What's happening? Where are we? Why does it hurt so much?" Jimmy was asking questions at a mile a minute until he let out a sharp yelp of pain. He shoved himself closer to me and dug his fingers and nails into my jumper's sleeves. 

 I flinched as my ears went back, " We're still in the Property Police station mate... If, If I had to guess, the Watchers finally decided they had e-enough with us d-d-disobeying them."

 The more I spoke about them; the weaker my voice was getting. I couldn't tell if it was just pure exhaustion from the pain of going blind, or if it was pure malice on the Watcher's part. I let out a strained sigh as Jimmy kept gripping my arms. We were both silent until loud footsteps came from above us. I let out a strained, but happy, gasp as I heard Netty's voice. 

 " BIGB! I FOUND THEM!" Netty cried out as as the footsteps grew louder and more quickened. My ears went back as I flinched at the loud voice. I'm happy that Netty n' the others found us but still. 

 A minute of loud footsteps soon passed as a hand rested against the top of my head. Another hand was placed against my chin and forced my head to look up even if I technically couldn't. A soft whimper came from Netty, " Oh Martyn...." she whispered as she moved her hand until she was gently rubbing at one of my deer ears. 

 After she finished rubbing against my deer, I felt Solidarity being removed from hugging against me. I could feel Solidarity desperately trying to get reattached to me until BigB started to hush him and let out little comforting mumbles. 

 Eventually, Solidarity calmed down and allowed for BigB to hold him, " I'm taking him upstairs in order to look at him in a spot with better lighting." he told Netty. Netty made a confirming noise, " Alright love, just let me get Martyn up, and we'll join you in a minute."

 My ears twitched as Netty put her arm underneath mine and gently lifted me until I was on my hooves. My tail twitched as I let out a pained sound, " I don't... I don't feel great..." I whispered as my ears lowered.

 Netty sighed, " I know sweetheart.... We just need to climb up some stairs, and you can rest all you want." she told me as we slowly started to walk. With each step, I could feel all my muscles burning and my joints crackling. 

 I let out a strained mumble as we awkwardly climbed the stairs. At least I know how to climb stairs with hooves. If I didn't, then this horrible climb would be even more awful. 

 We finally reached the top, and Netty gently helped me lay down on a mattress with a bright light shining into one of my eyes. It's a shame that all I could see is the color purple; this time it was a bright purple due to the light of the lamp. 

 My hoof kicked as I felt cold fingers forcing my eye open. I twitched and tried to move against the cold hand, " BigB! Stoooop!" I coughed as the hand continued to move my eye, " Just let me look at you, Martyn!" he spoke an annoyed tone as I felt something drape across me. 

 " Thanks Stampy...."

 " Mrrooew~" 

 The light continued to shine in my eye for a long while. My ears twitched the light slowly started to dim, " Okay, I think I got the information that I need." BigB let out a sigh as the light fully shut down. 

 I felt Stampy slump off of me and meow quietly. Solidarity soon let out an 'oof' of his own, and I guess that Stampy decided to lay on top of the other blind person. 

 " What's.... What's going on?" I questioned as I tried to roll onto my side. I let out a strained mumble and fell back onto my back with a small cough. Netty put the back of her hand against my forehead, " BigB is getting some information on how exactly the Watcher's blinded you too." she started, " With time, BigB hopes that Grian can get over here to try and fix the both of you." 

 With time? 

 " W-With time?" Solidarity questioned with a strained stutter as he gasped loudly, " COLD HAND!" he yelped.

 BigB let out a soft sigh, " Yeah, time.... It seems like Grian got himself into another war, and he and the Hermits are in the middle of a minigame battle." the sigh soon turned into an annoyed grumble. 

 I frowned. 

 I don't want to have to wait for Grian to get over here. That could take days, and I can't just rely on others in order to get places. I... I want this fixed as soon as possible.

 " C-Can't we just.... I don't know... Find our own way to fix it?" I questioned as Netty let out a sad sound. I turned my head towards the sound as my ears raised. 

 " We can't do that, Martyn... From what I can see from Solidarity's and your current state, the magic has already done enough damage to harm you physically...." Netty ran her hand through my hair, " Besides, without Salem, none of us really have magic that could actually heal blindness or anything like that." 

 Great.

 Great. 

 Great Great.

 Great!

 This is amazing! 

 This is just amazing.

 My tail twitched as I tried once again to lay on my side. This time, with Netty's help, I was able to. My ears lowered as I sighed, " I think I'm going to just go to sleep." I grumbled as a blanket was placed on top of me.

 " That sounds like a good idea, love." Netty whispered as she kissed the top of my head. With an annoyed grumble, I forced my pained and blinded self to fall asleep. 

 Maybe when I wake up this will all just be a horrible dream.
