~ Here's the next chapter. Is it the next week already? Pretty fast I
should think. Enjoy, and don't forget to review!
I would like to thank karigan, Maggie64, Beta02 and Kittylover for reviewing. That's the most I ever got for one chapter. Whoohoo!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
In answer to Kittylover: Well, I guess it comes from an overactive imagination. I sit to write, and the ideas just come and I put them down. The human mind is a wonderful thing. Thanks for the review!
1 Chapter 11: Very Bad News
Alicia awoke to darkness. She had a splitting headache, and her entire body ached. She frowned, trying to remember what had happened. Her memories were all jumbled up. She remembered going to the battledome, and that demon… She shuddered. It still scared her to think about it. She was knocked out, and then, darkness.
She looked around. It was pretty dark here. Where was she? She stretched out an arm.
-CRASH-
She jumped. Her hands had toppled something over. She heard the door open, and some people came in.
"Wh…who's that?" She asked a little shakily.
"Alicia? It's me, Chyora." Chyora smiled in relief. She had woken up.
"Chyora? You're here?" She could recognize the voice, but in the dark she couldn't be sure.
"Yes, what's wrong Alicia?" Chyora could see her turning left and right, before slightly focusing on him.
"Nothing. Just…just turn on the lights will you?" She requested.
"Turn on the lights?" Chyora asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, I can't see you in the dark." She snapped testily. There was a startled gasp. Alicia whipped her head to the new sound.
"Is there someone else here too?" Alicia asked.
Teena covered her mouth in horror. Chyora was trembling in shock. Dr_Death himself was muttering several oaths. They watched as Alicia swiveled her head left and right, her eyes searching for them, never finding them.
"Just turn on those lights now please!" Alicia yelled in frustration. Light switches couldn't be that hard to find. She stumbled out of her bed. But she was a smart girl, in her heart she knew what had happened. She felt around the room, determined to find that switch.
"Alicia…" Chyora whispered, his mind not fully comprehending what was happening. Alicia toppled over a chair, sprawling on the ground. Dr_Death rushed forward to help her, lifting her to her feet gently.
"Oh god. I'm blind aren't I? This place isn't dark. I can't see. I can't see!" As soon as she was helped to the bed, she leaned against the wall, holding her knees to her chest. Her tears flowed freely down her cheeks, as she shook herself, all the time repeating the word, "I'm blind…"
"Doctor! Doctor! God, you have to help us!" Teena cried, running out of the room to get help. Chyora was still stunned by what had happened. Several doctors rushed in, pushing all three of them out. They were to remain outside for some time.

Dr_Death looked about gravely. There was now a new complication. Alicia had been made blind. He wondered whether the doctors would be able to treat her. He hoped they could. Shoyru Day was not too far away. He would have to make things clear soon.
Teena paced back and forth, extremely anxious, to be blind was a horrible fate. She had seen her share of injured Neopets, many could not stand the world of darkness, and had killed themselves. She could do nothing, but only imagine the horror of being blind.
Chyora was in a stunned stupor. He said nothing, did nothing, only staring at the ground, his wings drooped around him forlornly. If a bomb had dropped down next to him, he wouldn't have noticed, so deep in thought he was. A doctor came out, and Chyora rushed towards him, bombarding him with questions.
"Please…calm down youngster. The patient is fine. But we won't be able to find out what's wrong with her eyes until some tests. You may go inside and see her now." The doctor shook his head and walked away. Teena rushed in, followed by a frowning Dr_Death, and finally by a downcast Chyora.
Alicia lay on her bed, doing nothing. She didn't move when the doctors examined her. Over and over, she heard a voice echoing in her head. She was blind. She was blind. She barely noticed when the doctors left. Nothing mattered anymore, she couldn't see.
"Alicia, are you okay?" She heard a voice calling her from a distance. She didn't bother to answer.
"Alicia?" The same voice called. She could hear them approaching her bed. She jerked back when she felt something touch her.
"Go away."
"Alicia, please, we want to help you."
"You can't help me. Now go away." She answered dully. She heard someone burst into tears. 'Good, maybe they'll leave me alone now.' She thought.
"Alicia. Don't do this." Another voice said. This one was deep and raspy. She closed her unseeing eyes.
"Go away. Please." She pleaded. She didn't want them to see her cry. There was some mumbling, and she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. She listened a while longer, before breaking down and sobbing.
1.1 To Be Continued…
~Another chapter by yours truly. That was kinda sad. Alicia's blind… Will she get better? And how about Shoyru Day? It's coming in *gasp* three weeks time. Will everything be out by then? Find out in upcoming chapters. As always review! ~
