the moment Rary swallowed the potion her brain seemed to explode. She fell forward onto her knees grabbing at her left eye as a white hot fire seared through it. She gasped deeply in an attempt to not scream. But agony ripped through her body as she desperately wanted to claw out the bleeding organ. Drawing her hands away from her face she saw her hands covered in blood, feeling it stream slowly down her cheeks. Tears filled her right eye and she began to weep. Evard was making no noise, she couldn't hear his presence beside of her. She knew she was going to go blind, there was no way she wasn't. This was what she'd worked so hard for. Spending all those nights failing one try after another. Finally she was going to give Evard back his sight. Suddenly the pain went away and she fell forward gasping into the floor. Her vision was gone from her left eye. Sobbing dryly she tried to get to her feet only to have her knees give out. Bigby caught her and carried her to her bed. She lay there as he silently cleaned the blood from her face. Her eye was no longer bleeding but it was still throbbing. She heard the quiet tap tap tap of Evard's staff and her heart sank. He was coming closer to her and she felt his hand fumbling for her bed. She took it and gently pulled him down beside of her.
"rary, are you okay?"
"no. But I will be. It idn't work did it?"
"apparently not. I'm sorry."
"I just wanted to try to help you. I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."
"I'm not hurt. Perhaps it's not meant for me to see." She sighed and lay her head against his thigh.
"Then maybe soon the vision will return to my left eye."
