Losing your faith.. (Tag: Messua)

Messua awoke slowly. The floor underneath her body was cold, probably not as cold as he would be, if it wasn't the warmth of her body that heatened it slightly. She sighed. It seemed like the game hadn't killed her. But why? The feels of the burning acid came back and she shivered. She should be dead. There was no reason why not. Or her kidnapper lessened the effect the anhydrous ammonium would have on the person, who would be forced to use it. Which made no sense.

She tried to open her eyelids to look around in the room, she was now, but somehow couldn't. Something blocked her eyes. Messua sat up and lifted her hand to find out what it was. A bandage? A fearsome feeling raised inside her. Slowly she loosened the bandage and let it fell on her knees. The darkhaired opened finally her eyes and saw... nothing.

Darkness surrounded her, though she knew her eyes must be wide open. Blind.

The liquid had been strong enough to destroy her eyesight. The scream that had risen up inside her during the game, rose again. But she wrapped her arms around her body and surpressed it again. No. Tears fell down and she couldn't hide soft sobs. She wiped away the last tears and put the blindfold back on.

No. She might be blind now, but she was still the same. She could still be the warm and calm person she was. The only thing would be to learn how to live with the blindness. And Messua was sure, she could manage that. Other people could do it, Garrett could.

Messua tried to get to know her surrounding through her ears. She knew there must be someone else in this room. They were always paired up as two. A low noise made her turn her head. "Hello?", she asked softly.

Celia looked up when she heared something. The girl was waking. So she was alive? Celia watched the girl move her bandage off of her eyes. Then the girl began to cry. Was she blind? Celia watched while the girl fell into sobs. Poor thing. She got up to move towards her. But the girl must've heared. "Hello... I'm Celia.." She said softly. Moving to place a gentle hand on her arm. "I'm your new roommate. Are you alright?" She asked. Sitting down next to her. Well she obviously wasn't alright. But Celia would want to help her.

Messua moved slightly, when she felt the woman sitting down next to her. Not woman, Celia, as the woman introcuced herself. She smiled warm. "It's nice to meet you, Celia.", she answered calmly. "I'm Messua. Yes, I'm alright. Just need to deal with new circumstances. But I had that before, so I can manage.", the darkhaired shrugged. Why should she be all whiney when she lost just her eyesight and not her life? Like Holly did. She shivered. "I think we haven't met before. That's interesting."

Celia gave Messua a soft smile. "Nee circumstances? Something happened to your eyes, didn't it?" Celia asked placing her hands in her lap. She hadn't met the woman before either. Perhaps they all knew each other? Well by now she new four people. Five if she counted Messua. "If you need any help you just have to tell me I can help you." Celia offered.

"Yes... I lost it in the last game our kidnapper liked to play.", Messua shrugged again. It wasn't that there would be times she will miss to see the colors around her. But non the less it was only. Nothing. She smiled. "Would you like to describe me the room?", she was sure she wouldn't be able to walk around properly just now. It would need training. A sense of feeling things in front of her before she would bump into them. But as soon as she would start learning it, the better.

"So... how empty is the room, that I can count on how many bruises I have when we switch again?", she joked.

Celia looked around. "Well you aren't missing anything really." She said softly. Celia sighed. "It's grey... Erhm... We have a bed.. and... a chair...." She looked around. "A skull....and a few electronic candles. But I'll keep you from stepping on anything. Do you want to sit on the matress? It's a bit more comfortable than the floor."

Messua listened carefully to Celia's description. When she mentioned the skull a smile appeared on her face. "I know this room!", her voice was almost joyfully and surely irritating for the other woman. "I have been here before. It was the first room when I woke up in here."

She sighed gladly. Then there was nothing much to worry about and she could just stumble around and try to get a feel for the blindness. "Thank you for the offer. I think I better try to walk around. The earlier I learn to find my way through the room the better. And here isn't much to worry about.", she nodded. Slowly she stood up, her legs shaking. It was weird to stay in a room and trying to figure everything out without eyesight. Her body balance was slightly different as well. Then she made a few steps forward. Good there wasn't the skull on the ground so far. If she could find it before the next room switch, that would be a great success.

So this girl knew this room? Poor girl.. Celia watched as she stood up. Getting up aswell. Wanting to help her. "I'm right here for you if you need me." She said gently taking hold of her hand.

Messua nodded, giving Celia a warm smile. "Maybe... it might be weird, but could you walk behind me? So you can take care I don't trip over my own feet?", she tilted her head, waiting for an answer.

She wouldn't admit that the circumstances made her feel a bit helpless. She just wasn't used to it like Garrett. And humans could learn. Without waiting any further for Celia's answer, she turned around and made a few more steps to nowhere.
