Hello everyone. I had to create a separate chapter from District 11, because Isabella's POV was getting to long. I don't know what I'm doing though to describe being blind in one eye. I'm just basing it off to PLL, when Jenna is starting to lose her vision again after her surgery.
Isabella Mason (14,11)
I played in the fields with Delilah. I was too caught up in playing with Delilah that I hadn't noticed a small log right in front of me. Delilah had ran away from me and I stayed on the ground seeing the tiny bugs that were in the fields.
I was too caught up in looking for bugs that I had not noticed a snake close by. The snake had strike me and I felt very weak.
Delilah had approached me with caution and grabbed me. My vision was starting to play tricks with me, I could not see Delilah very clearly through my left eye. It was like there was a dark curtain in my eye to blocked me from seeing Delilah properly. "Are you okay?" She asked.
I shook my head no and Delilah had put me down and ran to the house with me following behind her. I tripped and tripped from the wildlife that was in front of me and I had barely reached home. Delilah had opened the door and I walked inside.
"Mom, Isabella had gotten hurt while we were playing in the fields," Delilah said.
"Taylor, get Grandma and Grandfather. We are going to the doctor's," Mom hissed.
She took my hand and walked me outside with the others behind us. Delilah had catch up to us and walked along with us.
We finally arrived to the doctor's and I sat down at the waiting area.
"Mrs. Mason, I'm Doctor Zanaya Torres, what seems to be the problem," the doctor said.
Mom sat there not hearing her and the doctor told her again, her voice higher this time and mom replied.
"Isabella had got bit by a snake. She complains that it's very dark here but it's bright in here," Mom told the doctor.
The doctor peered into my eyes and saw the venom from the snake had damaged most of my nerves on my eyes. She had whispered to my mom about the damage but she had a look on her face that she could not hear her. . "I can only stop the venom from going in her body but she will have to visit District 4 to see about her eye."
Mom nodded. The doctor had put on an eye patch and I ran up to Daddy when we were done.
"You look like a pirate," Daddy greeted as he saw me but quickly shushed. No one was able to speak unaware who was eavesdropping in the conversation and if we were caught then we were sentenced to death or turned into avoxes. It was something no one would want so we were just silent.
Mom whispered to Dad about something and he looked at me sad for a second before he hid it. I wonder what they were hiding from me and if it had anything to do with me being half blind.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"Oh um nothing," Dad said rather sheepishly. He rubbed his forehead to remove the beads of sweat that formed.
"How do you feel?" Delilah asked, changing the subject.
"Good be worse. I lost my eyesight in an eye permanently and I can see in one eye... What if I get reaped and I cannot see, I'll probably die," I choked back a sob.
"Isabella listen. You're seven years old and don't have to worry about getting reaped for those five years. In those five years, Isabella, you can get used to the environment, don't complain and help out much as you can," Delilah reassured me, she brushed away those tears from my eyes.
...
Next day,
I stood in line with my luggage in my hand. I could see in my left eye somewhat, only colors though. I had taken off my eye patch when I woke up and saw perfectly through my eyes so I just put it in my pocket.
"Where's your eye patch?" Mom inquired. "The doctor told you to leave it on." She searched through my pockets and pulled out my eye patch and snapped it on my head.
"But I could see well without it," I protested.
"That may be but you must. Don't give in to your temptations," Mom advised. Temptation what a dangerous word. It was going to haunt me for the rest of my life if I give in to the temptation. Maybe I wouldn't give in but the choice is mine it was like walking on the path during a hurricane.
Mom and I boarded the train after we gave them the note and the passport. District four was next and I knew I couldn't stay in the District. I was only going to see the eye doctor there and then head back to District 11. How different was District 4 was going to be then District 11 was? I would soon find out and I hoped I would give my answer to that question.
I enjoyed the small luxury we currently were having. I watched through the window, passing by through the district going to 150 mph and yet it seemed faster. Mom handed me a small water bottle filled with water and I drank most of it. It felt refreshing to drink clean water instead of muddy, water. The cleanest anyone had gotten was a few pebbles in it along with smudges of dirt.
I watched the district fly by and there was nothing but trees everywhere. It was quite monotone to see as there was a lot of trees in District 11.
I looked away from the window and was bored. I only brought clothes and that was it.
...
We soon approached District 4 and I pressed my face to the window in order to catch a glimpse of the district. It was quite different then District 11. There was tons of well furnished houses and the sea. I wanted to smell the sea as I envied it. The salty air, the seagulls, and the sand. Tons of sand. It seemed that everyone was happy. There was no gaunt looking faces or miserable like faces.
We stepped off the platform and it seemed that people looked at us. I paid them no mind and followed mom to the doctor's office. Mom signed me in and I sat in the waiting chair. I felt the temptation about running to the sea and put my feet there but I decided not to. Temptation was too hard to resist and it was going to give me a bad decision.
I sat there chewing on my lip until the doctor had called us in. I sat in another chair and she removed the eye patch. She brought a bright light to my eyes and flashed it in my eyes. I reacted in my right eye but didn't feel anything or see anything in my left.
"Well, it looks like the damage is real. Isabella's left eye nerves are severely damage and it was a miracle she didn't go blind in her other eye. During the process of her vision in her left eye, she would experience having good days and bad days until she can no longer see in that eye. There is however a treatment to take care of this problem and she will be able to see in both eyes again but it would cost you," The doctor explained.
"How much?" I asked.
"500 dollars," the doctor replied.
I wished that I can get that operation and I can see through both of my eyes again but probably will never happen as we were poor and we needed the money to buy food. It was a dream and it might happen but probably never will. I would have to live with being blind in my left eye forever. There was no cure and I hated being blind in one eye. I would no longer be able to see in one eye and I hoped that maybe one day, I can afford the operation and can be able to see in both eyes again.
Maybe one day...
I planned this for a while and will be writing my tribute; Lilian for the reaping scene today then tomorrow I'll do the whole reaping.
Update your tribute list
Questions:
Bianco or Kicho to save and why?
how many sequels do you want if your tribute survives?
For the reapings do you want Boys then girls first, mixed (Boy, girl or girl boy) or girls before the boys)
I want to shed the light on this story of why I created this story. At first The seventy-two tributes seemed cool since it was probably randomized and it could be later. District 13 was just there for some odd reason and I couldn't change it and it began to be my focus on the story for some odd reason.
