Blinded By Science Foreigner Novels & Stories

“No, you are mine.” The room shook with the force of his words, and for a moment, everything else fell away, my heart stuttered in my chest, torn between fear and the dangerous pull of his claim. But the scientist was still staring at the screen, his lips moving as if repeating a silent prayer, then suddenly, he stumbled back, his face pale as ash. “No…” His voice cracked. “It can’t be… it can’t…” I stood, my chair scraping against the floor. “What is it? Tell me!”

The proportions changed. It was as if my brain couldn't process what it was seeing. I looked away immediately. Blood dripped from my nose. Around me, several soldiers screamed. One clawed at his own eyes. Another collapsed unconscious. Renn grabbed my shoulder. "Don't look directly at it." His voice trembled. "I don't think human minds can." I swallowed hard. "What is that thing?" The old scholar stared at the abyss. Then gave an answer that chilled me. "I don't know."

JENNA’S POV Alex stood before us, his formal ceremonial attire highlighting his powerful frame. The traditional blindfold that usually covered his sightless eyes was absent. His gaze, once empty, now held a startling clarity as he looked directly at me. "Jenna, you are breathtaking today." "You can see me?" I whispered in disbelief. "Release her, Carrick. What exactly are you attempting?" Alex's words came simultaneously with mine. Carrick looked between us in shocked confusion.

I figured he might be calling to explain himself or apologize. A mocking smile tugged at my lips as I answered, but instead of an apology, Cedric's voice came through harshly. "Why didn't you tell me your right eye was blind? Now, Celine is blind too. Are you happy now? Is it fun to mess with blind people? Come here and give her your left cornea." I couldn't help but laugh at his words. If someone didn't know better, they might think Cedric was Celine's husband. All of this suddenly made sense.

He had once studied in the country for a period of time. Because he understood the language, he found himself increasingly irritated with Tessa. She could question him on anything, but his medical expertise was off-limits. Medicine was his greatest passion, something no one could easily disparage. With this thought in mind, the foreign doctor’s tone toward Tessa grew more curt. “Oh? In that case, I’d like to see for myself what makes this doctor you speak of so impressive.

Ava “You’re lucky; all of you. This could have been ten times worse.” The lead scientist pulled his latex gloves off with a snap, shaking his head. I bit my lip and let my gaze wander behind him—toward the group of other scientists in hazmat suits who were probing the patch of glossy black fungus with instruments I couldn’t even begin to recognize. Chris, who we had called along with the science team the instant we had found the blight on Leonard’s farm, huffed out a deep breath and passed a hand over his weary face. “How bad is it, exactly?” he asked.

“Haec verba recita ut intus bestiam absolvas. Benedicto lunae revelavi tibi. Secundam animam solve in me. Integer sum, Liber sum.” I read out loud, slowly, taking care to wrap my tongue around the foreign words properly. When the last word leaves my lips a blinding light flashes in my eyes and pain like I could never imagine shoots through my entire body, like I’m being engulfed in flames and pulled apart. I hear my scream as if it’s in the distance, but I know it’s coming from me.

I stood in front of my mother, backing toward the bed step by step. Staring at the widening crack in the doorway, sweat covered my forehead as I felt completely helpless without any weapon. Then the door was violently forced open, with the bottom of the wardrobe making a terrible screeching sound like metal on train tracks. A pair of dirty boots stepped into the room. "Did you think blocking the door would save you? I don't have the patience for games." The man smiled crookedly, his disgusting gaze scanning the room. I froze in place, staring at the gleaming knife in his hand, its cold light reflecting off his filthy knuckles.

But surprisingly, Skyler blocked my path. His temper exploded, and he shouted, "What are you throwing a fit about, Julia Grayson! And why are you still wearing that when April Fools' was days ago? Isn't it a bit much?" Then, he yanked down the bandage that was over my right eye. The horrifying scar was now in plain sight. Skyler's hand froze midair upon seeing it.

Blood trickled down his nose and lip. “Have mercy,” The scientist mocked a cry them cackled. “I will kill you with my bare hands, you hear me? I will make sure you do not last the week!” As the scientist crumpled to the floor, Stephen kicked and hit. “You better bring the family to me safe and sound or else!” “It is not I who would regret this day but you. You just made your biggest mistake.” Unsteady, the scientist stood up and spat a mixture of spittle and blood on his face.
