Hey people! Sorry it's been some time I just have kind of been spaced out away from the computer. I love this, my plots thickening now. When I got on and read all my reviews and saw I had so many hits, I just was leaping in joy. I never thought my story would be as good as it is now! It makes me happy, so I won't bore you anymore, here's Iggy! Disclaimer: I think you know the drill, I don't own MR at all.
Chapter 13: Stage Two
Okay pinch me because I must be dreaming right? There's no explanation. I could see a face that must belong to Rose. But how? How could I just see suddenly, with no warning?
I blinked once, twice, three times, a hundred times. No one moved even an inch, no sound came except our slow breathing. Rose stared at me in wonder, obviously wondering what was going on. She moved very gently on her knees.
"Iggy? Are you okay?" She asked me in the same voice as Rose. It was really her. I could really see her! I could really SEE! Screw the whitecoats, now I couldn't hold my joy in.
My smile grew wider and wider until it hurt, I couldn't move my gaze fearing: what if I lost this again?
My hand released from around the cage bars as I went to look at them, and just like that it was gone.
Gone.
Gone.
GONE! Everything was black in less than a second and I couldn't see anything anymore. I was blind again. I knew it wouldn't last but I couldn't help but wish it was still there. I couldn't help but be truly disappointed as a tear slipped down my cheek. There was nothing like it. Nothing like the feeling of being able to see the world around you, being able to open my eyes and know they weren't broken and then to have that ripped away from me. To see where I was, to see Rose. . .
"Iggy um, please what's wrong? What's going on?" Rose started to sound worried. I couldn't help but think:
Why did it hurt so much?
I sighed but turned to Rose placing my hand to the cage floor feeling the ice cold ground. "I could see. For a moment, I could see your face and the cage. But now it's all gone. I can't see squat." I spat bitterly.
And now the awkward silence.
"Oh Iggy. Oh god, I can't even imagine how you must feel. It's- I mean, oh geez I'm sorry." Rose whispered meaning every word. There was a small bang and then a cursing Rose. "Damn these cages are too small!"
Then- ZAM! Just like that I could see again! I saw Rose holding her head, rocking back and forth in her cage. H-How? Afraid to loose my sight I froze in my cage. Rose, oblivious to my stare, cursed again and slammed her fist into her cage floor jerking me back. My hand lifted off the floor and again my sight vanished.
Now I frowned confused. What was going on?
I placed my hand on the cage and slowly my sight crawled back. Okay now I was confused and pretty ticked off.
What was going on? Or was this all just a trick? Was I really seeing the world around me? I growled angrily at the last thought. This had to be real, it just had to. . . right? It couldn't be a joke, no way.
I raised my hands off the flat surface and my sight was black again. Hmmm. I placed my both my hands to the ground. "Move around."
"What?" Rose asked.
"Move around in your cage. Just do something." I said urgently. Rose paused hesitant but her cage shook slightly. Now my vision snapped back and I was starring at Rose tapping her hands along her cage bars. Interesting now.
Then it all clicked right then.
"Vibrations." I murmured more to myself keeping my hand to the cold, hard, flat cage floor.
"Huh?" Rose asked dumbfound starring at me now shifting on her knees. Her blue eyes, the color of the deep ocean, looked straight at me in wonder and curiosity through the darkness.
"Vibrations. That's how I can see now. When I place my hand on a flat surface, vibrations from anything moving let me see what's ever on the flat surface or in it. Whatever is vibrating I can see, see all in the room. Like if I don't touch anything flat," I raised my hands off the cage floor already knowing I would loose my sight. I shrugged off the tug at my heart when my world blackened and continued. "I can't see a thing, I'm blind again."
"That's amazing! I mean it's great! It's awesome, it's what you need! Right?" Rose sounded so eager I could only wonder what her face looked like.
And now I could . . .
My hand hot the floor and my sight turned on all in one motion. Rose was smiling at me from her cage, wings open at her sides. She had the same colors as her brother, only more red than black. But it was her smile that warmed me. Her smile was what made almost like the sun come out in our little dark room. There was just something about her smile I couldn't get over.
But what was it?
"Someone's at the door." I said cocking my head at the sound, and just as I said, the door opened and in walked more people. I could make out Jeb's and David's footsteps.
And now I could also . . .
I placed a hand to the dirty, freezing cold ground and I could actually see them now. There was Jeb, (hm, more grey hairs? Where they from moi?) David, and other Erasers. What do they think: oh let's bring on Erasers against the blind mutant!
Jeb paused in front of my cage looking down at me and this time I looked up at him too, following his every move. Now he seemed to notice. Now way, he notices.
Jeb moved and my eyes followed him. His face showed amazement and wonder.
"So you can see now? Excellent!" Jeb clapped his hand walking around and examining me with way too much interest.
David creaked my cage open and I waited for any signs of an attack or the Eraser charging before taking a step out towards them. Hey it never hurt to have caution around the people who get their fun out of mutating kids. I stood there with my bare feet touching the cement floor and I could still see everything.
Interesting, so I can see if I touch something with my hands or stand barefooted. This could make my life better.
"Come along then little birdie they want to do tests now with your sight." The Eraser cackled at me. I jerked away not liking the sound of that. Jeb smiled at me like a kind old man. Yeah a devious trickster, old man.
"No operations. I promise." He whispered. I growled but followed them until I heard David hiss under his breath, "Not yet."
Okay that's freaking enough. I've had it up to my hand in their little games, no way was I going to loose my sight again to their mistakes! As I opened my mouth to snap something in my stomach jerked.
There was a short shot of pain and agony and then I was on my knees. The last I could remember was hurling my guts out in blood. Dark, red blood.
Yay chapter 13 done. Cliffhanger! Yes poor Iggy. Hopefully I can update before Monday, that's my goal. So keep sending those reviews and checking out my story. I truly mean it looking at how many hits I got just made my day! Thank you beloved readers!
