Blind Step Part 6

"Hey are you ok"

Rebecca asked as they hung up there stuff.

"I'm fine why do you ask"

"I don't know"

She stared at Anya curiously.

"I mean you've got a different look about you, you look different then you did yesterday"

Anya smiled.

"I just made my decision"

She said.

"And I'm ready to become a usher"

A chuckle could be heard from behind them.

"It's only your second and your talking as if the course is all ready over, the hard part hasn't even started"

His chuckles stopped as quickly as they began he finished his coffee and removed his jacket, today Peters looked like a dad through and through he was wearing a black jogging with white running shoes. when he removed the jacket he was wearing a grey tank top with a chain around his neck, the old man had a above average dad bod but a dad bod none the less his outfit seemed normal it seemed like something a man his age would wear but what stuck out was his chain, the chain around his neck was normal until you saw what was hanging at the end.laying across his chest was a babies pacifier it was the one part of his outfit that, well it just didn't fit the girls eyes were drawn to it so much that they didn't realize he had put on a blindfold until it was already on.

The sight that laid before them was odd very odd but he spoke as if nothing was out the ordinary.

"So who wants to go first"

[If he means what I think he means I'm not doing it] Rebecca thought, [I'm not touching him with a 15 foot pole] Anya thought he sighed.

"Look I can do you both a the same time but I prefer one at a time"

Poor choice of words both girls stepped back with nasty looks on there faces.

"ok since there are no volunteers then I'll choose"

Peters took off his chain and wrapped it around it around his hand grasping the pacifier hard in his fist. Pressure is what they felt in that moment it was pressure coming from him, his presents his fist. Anya was perplexed while Rebecca felt fear a familiar fear and as Peters began to walk towards them that fear grew. She thought to run to bolt out the door but her ever growing fear had shackled her to the floor.

"Rebecca'

He said while taking up a crouching stance.

"You go first"

He punched her right in the stomach it was jab one that put her on her knees and strong enough to make her vomit.

"Holy shit are you ok"

Anya screamed while running to Rebecca, she didn't respond she was gagging and gasping for air.

"She's ok just getting the sleep out her eyes"

He said while taking another step closer.

"Now it's time for you to wake up to"

Before she could scream in protest he punched her just like Rebecca and the experience she went through and felt were the same. The best way one could describe there shared pain was that they felt everything at the same time, everything mixed and blended together, they were seeing sounds, tasting smells every sense they had whirlpooled together back and forth changing and shifting on and on till there eye was open. This consistent feeling of nausea this pressure that seemed to go on for ever until there 3rd eye was open until all there five senses became one and became there 6th sense.

It was cold when Anya began to regain consciousness damp and cold, she woke to light taps on her face and Rebecca's voice breaking her out of her slumber.

"Anya, Anya is that you"

When her eyes opened it focused on the glowing silhouette in front of her and this snapped her awake. What was in front of her was Rebecca but not they way she remembered her the last time she had seen Rebecca she didn't glow blue and she was positive that the world around her didn't glow black and white. Rebecca was blue but what seemed to be her clothes were the same as the room around them. Only her exposed body parts glowed her arms, hands and face but her face was obstructed by a black thing covering the spot were her eyes would be and when Anya reached to her own face she saw her hands also glowed blue and she had her own eyes covered as well. But still she could see her eyes were covered but she could see.

"What the... what the fuck is going on"

Anya said frantically.

"You seeing what I'm seeing"

Rebecca asked feeling just as dazed and confused.

"Everything black, blue and white"

She responded, Anya tried to get the thing off her face and the harder she tried the more frantic she became.

"where are we"

"I don't know.. I just woke up a little bit before you"

Anya continued struggling harder and harder trying to get this thing off her face, what ever it was it was metal and it was locked onto her face and her struggles wouldn't help. As she stopped to catch her breath she asked.

"Where's Peters and what did he do to use"

"As I said"

His voice could be heard.

"I opened your sleeping eye"

Peters voice was close very close as a matter of fact he was in the same room but they couldn't see him even with there new vision he was untraceable, until a small blue outline appeared in the corner of the room the outline was like a light that grew brighter and brighter. Then his face appeared clear as they last remembered his eyes were still blindfolded his clothes were simular to theirs and the environment, but the pacifier the babies pacifier chained around his neck was the only other part of him that stood out it had blue-ish steam coming off of it like it was hot to the touch.

"What is this"

Rebecca said.

"Well this is your proof your answer this is your 3rd sight"

At this the two started to feel around the bodies looking for a newly developed 3rd eye but none was there.

"Not a literal 3rd sight, but a spiritual one a ushers 3rd eye combines all the senses into one allowing them to see the unseen"

"So why are we blindfolded"

Anya protested.

"For your 3rd to be open your physical eyes must be closed"

He responded.

"If your physical eyes and your spiritual eye are open at the same time then you will experience the same sickening off balance feeling you felt earlier today"

At this the girls began to get to there feet, this normally would take a second but this wasn't normal, they made it after having  to pull on one another to stand and keep there balance. Rebecca had one hand on Anya's back and she swung her right arm around her own neck, they were hunched backed sweating profusely and they stood on wobbly knees.

"We are currently in the back of the building  follow me to the front and I'll teach you how to close your eye"

Suddenly Peters left his corner and walked through a door less doorway and with there exhausted bodies they followed. One foot after the other slow but decisive baby steps Anya and Rebecca strolled down the hallway not even able to keep pace with Peters. They walked or more like dragged themselves in silence to focused on moving and panting, but as they did there vision became better the world around them was less black and white, it was more like the world was black and it was outlined white as there vision strengthen they could make out more and more details. The black walls were littered with white lines ranging in different sizes and shapes these were the cracks and the holes in the wall.

Each step they took the sharper there vision became and with each step the more physically,mentally and spiritually drained they became.Before they both keeled over a outline of a large hole was seen with a final push they were back at the front of the building. They fell over like a castle made of cards no longer managing to lift there heads, Peters now no longer blindfolded approach and knelt down to them he took his hands and laid to fingers in the center on each of there foreheads.

"Focus"

He said so gently.

"Focus on the point my fingers are on, and imagine a open door or window, now imagine closing it"

He thought his words were falling on dead ears neither spoke or made a sign that they heard him.

"You have to focus girls, focus on this point and shut the door"

Joseph felt as if he was kneeling for hours not Anya nor Rebecca responded he began to worry when he felt it, without needing to open his eye he knew they had closed there own. Their bodies relaxed the tension was gone and for the second time of the day they both fell into unconsciousness. 45 minutes passed there first time they were out and 4 hours had passed for there second, when they were slightly awake Peters helped them both into his car. He drove each girl home first was Rebecca she was living in a suburb and her house was a light blue bungalow. Peters parked and helped her to the door, she managed to put her keys in the door and walked in once Peters was certain she was fine he came back and drove Anya home. what took 45 minutes felt like seconds to her, just like before the pulled into the apartment complex he helped her to the door and when she managed it she went through the door. Tired and exhausted Ana made it to her couch and fell back into the comfortable arms of sleep.
