Sightless & Unspoken (RusAme Au)

Episode 10: The Knight

I was hauled off to a temple. Oculus has me floating in the air and pulls me by my leash. I am still not in any control of my body. I am laid on a gold table. At this point, I feel the gold was getting a tad bit ridiculous. My arms and legs are soon chained to each corner. The table elevates and tilts up as if I were standing regularly.

"Give me your consent to carry my son and I will heal your paralysis." says Oculus.

I get it now. He actually needs my consent in order for me to conceive his child, that is why he can not force me. I do not know the consequences if he were to force me, but I can see he is limited. It explains his persistence and patience.

He purposely put me in this situation so I would be least likely to decline. But he is wrong. All I can do is stare at him, did he forget I was unable to move or speak? If he wants an answer out of me, he has no choice but to heal my paralysis.

Oculus reveals a wicked smile and circles around me like a shark. "I see thy is speechless. Because you do not testify against it, I have no choice but to assume that your silence is confirmation."

I was so very wrong.

"Unless you speak now, you will carry my son."

I am unable to say anything. I try to force out words but I am helpless. I internally panic. My heart rate increases. He was twisted and evil- he has set me up from the start. He is beating his own system, disgraceful corruption. What a fraud! How unfortunate for me- I am going to be taken advantage of and I am completely helpless.

"Very well." Oculus says chillingly. The table moves back down so I am once again laying. He strokes my face. "Rest now America. Tomorrow will be the ceremony in which we make a son. It will mark the day of my eternal legacy!"

My mind is clouded with fear. He strokes my face one last time and he leaves me alone in the temple. The lights soon extinguished and I am left in complete darkness. All I can do is stare up at the ceiling and look through the window. The green night sky brings no comfort. I have an urge to cry but I can not.

I can do nothing. So what do I do when I can not do anything? I ponder.

My breath becomes shaky. I can not ponder. For once in my life, I can not ponder. I am truly paralyzed. I feel myself ascend into even more panic. I need this to stop. Will my paralysis wear off on its own or am I stuck like this until I receive help? I wish this nightmare would end. Why can I not just waltz with Russia in paradise forever?

Oh Russia where are you? Why is it taking you so long to find me- goddamn you!

Maybe he did find me. I know I heard his heartbeat before. Where did he go? He would never purposely leave me here, something had to have kept him from me. Did he too need rescuing? Oh no.

I stop myself before I can ascend into more worry. Overthinking was not going to help me in this situation. I have to try to ponder again.

I am concentrated. And still nothing happens. My attempts pry into the dull morning suns. The sunrises on this planet are depressing. I remain concentrated; all these dedicated hours eventually lead me to success. I suddenly have feelings in my hands again. I am overwhelmed with happiness. I dance my fingers around in the air. Even though they are the only thing I can move, it tells me that the paralysis is temporary.

I soon feel my fingers stiffening. I panic once again. Concentrating must have been healing my paralysis. I concentrate and focus. The feelings in my fingers return- but I must not let my joy distract me. I continue to concentrate until I feel life spread throughout my body again.

By now the suns are perched above me and I am no longer paralyzed. I am beyond grateful.

I am about to break out and regain my freedom but a brilliant idea washes over me; I am completely consumed by vengeance- I decide to remain "paralyzed" for the ceremony and insight a show of my own.
