Shepard
Why do I hear noises? Terrible noises... My head feels like it's splitting... Where am I? My eyes feel crusty... What happened?
I tried to open my eyes but I could see nothing, and my eyes flicked around, desperately hoping for something.
"Damn it," I heard someone curse. "Lawson, she's awake. The seds didn't hold her down as long as I had hoped."
Lawson? Miranda? What happened?
"Shepard?" I could hear Miranda's voice and I slowly gained enough control to turn my head slightly in her direction.
"How are you feeling?"
I felt my lips stuck together from lack of use and worked to open them, wincing as I did so. "I- I can't see."
My voice was hoarse and quiet, not like my usual confident tone.
I heard a sigh.
"We did what we could for your eyesight right now, but it going to be a long, slow, recovery process. It could take anywhere from six months to three years for your eyesight to be fully restored."
I felt as if someone had knocked the breath out of me. "I- I'm blind?"
"Temporarily, yes."
I fought to sit up, as panic quickly overtook me. "No- no, that's not possible- I can't- where am I? What happened?"
I heard Miranda curse. "Get her sedated. Her vitals are up off the charts."
It wasn't long before I felt drowsy, and I slowly relaxed into the soft pillows behind me. I realized now in my tranquility that my eyes were open. I just couldn't tell because everything was dark.
As a drifted into sleep, a tear slipped down my cheek and I welcomed the forced sleep.
