Thankfully she knew her way through the house, so she was able to make it... for the most part.
She bumped into a few things, stubbed her toe once or twice, but that was it.
Still didn't change that everything was blurry and dark.
And it was more worrisome when stepping into direct sunlight didn't help.
Nothing changed.

Sammy was completely silent as she looked around, nto entirely sure what it was that she was supposed to make of that.
She knew that she was outside now. She could feel the grass beneath her feet, between her bare toes.
Yet it looked like the middle of the night for her.
"What the hell?" She asked the air, knowing that there was no one around to answer her. With a sigh, she shook her head and made her way inside, where she put on her shoes - not really trying for anything else - and using her mana to head to OLA. She grabbed her phone on the way and called Darrell after going through Triage, and was in the waiting room.
"I'm at OLA." She told him after he'd answered.
"This time... not because of Evan. I was ordered home and I went, I haven't been back, but.... things are.... not right."

"....not right?" Darrel asked.
"What do you mean?" he asked her.
"What's going on?" he inquired.
She could tell that he was very concerned... but there was an underlying panic to it.

Sammy was silent, having a hard time admitting to herself what was going on, nevermind saying anything to him.
"I'll tell you later. I'm being called back." She told him before hanging up andmaking her way back, where she was being summoned.
It took her a couple hours before she was able to call him again.
"Hey. All right, long story short? Seems I'm blind." She told him bluntly as Darrell answered

"....blind!?" Darrel exclaimed.
"Wait, blind!?" he repeated.
"Oh god, how? When?" he asked her, before pausing.
"Wait." he said.
"Does this have to do with that weird eye infection you had a few days ago?" he asked further.

Sammy sighed slightly.
"That's the best guess of anyone, really." She commented.
"No one knows what the cause is, exactly, but that's the best guess." She sighed, again.
". . . They also said that there's a good chance that it's.... something I'm gonna have to get used to." She told him, her voice quiet.
"I won't be able to go for my runs anymore, or do FyreWorx either."

".....no...." Darrel said quietly.
"No, that... no, this... this can't be..." he said.
"That's not fair." he went on.
"Just out of nowhere like this? This makes no sense!" he exclaimed.
"There HAS to be SOMETHING that can be done!"
"No, that... no, this... this can't be..." he said.

"Gotta figure out the cause first." Sammy stated, her voice almost cold. She wasn't losing her temper, so why was he?
"Look, can you come pick me up?" She asked.
"I'm not entirely sure it's such a hot idea for me to be home alone for the next bit, since Kelly's with Luke, Evan's outta commission and Dad's out doing whatever he's doing."

Again, Darrel was silent for a moment.
"Ah... right." he said.
"Yeah.... gimme a moment." he told her.
"I'll be there in a few minutes." he said.
"I also have... well, one or two questions." he went on. "But they can wait until we're face-to-face." he reasoned.
"Where will you be?" he asked her.

"Sitting in the waiting area of the emerg." Sammy answered.
"And questions? All right then" She then said.
"I won't be hard to find though. As far as I know, pretty empty in here right now."

"All right." Darrel replied.
With that, they ended their conversation, and about 3 minutes later, Darrel was there, and sat down beside her.
"Hey." he greeted her.
"Here I am, obviously." he commented.
"But you said Kelly's with Luke?" he asked her.
"Is something wrong with HIM?" he asked further, clearly not having heard.

"Hey." Sammy said before sighing.
"And apparently he's lost his connection with Gaea." She answered.
"I don't know the details, but there's that, and he's feeling numb all over, like when you can't feel your foot because you sat on it too long." She added.
"So Kelly's with him, trying to help out as best she can, while Lily's off with Addison. No one knows why she took off, but the general concesus is that she doesn't like seeing her brother in such a sorry state, and Addison helps her not lose her shit."

".....great." Darrel muttered.
"You're going blind, Luke's gone numb, Lily's probably on the verge of losing her shit..." he growled, trailing off a little.
"And -I- can't smell a damn thing." he said.
"And I mean that literally, Sammy." he told her.
"I can't smell ANYTHING. At all. Not a thing." he explained.
"And my vampire side is freaking out because of it."

Sammy was silent for a moment before just sighing.
"I ..." She started before pausing.
". . . . . and Evan.... There's no way tha tbook is involved, is there?" She asked, knowing that her penchant for paranoia was very possibly making her connect dots that shouldn't be connected

"We can't make assumptions just yet." Darrel replied.
"Well... we CAN, but we shouldn't." he then corrected himself.
"There is a very good chance that book is involved, but there's also a chance this is just coincidental." he told her.
"For now, let's not jump to any unfounded conclusions." he suggested.
"See what we can dig up about what's happening, or the book."

". . . if Dad was home, he'd likely hae some information we don't have." She commented.
"And it'd be some usefull info, at that." She sighed again and shook her head.
"Anyway, let's go."

"Hm." Darrel muttered.
"Maybe we can ask Vicki about it." he said.
"I mean, she can contact him no matter what, yeah?" he asked.
"Or at least, that's what Evan told me the one time." he went on.
"Said that Vicki and your Dad are always in contact with each other, no matter what. Whatever that meant."

"That may be so, but it's not easy to get ahold of Aunt Vicki." Sammy commented as she got to her feet.
"Now, let's go." She repeated.

Vicki was silent as she turned off the TV. That wasn't news she wanted to hear.
"Hey Lindsay," she started after calling him, "You might not want to come home, or you may want to. Seems there's a rash of senselessness back home for you."
"Now, let's go." She repeated.

"....that narrows things down." Lindsay responded.
"There's a chance the book is the Torpens Tome." he said.
"It held secrets of sensory deprivation, among other things." he went on, before pausing.
"Oh, God... Evan... Kelly... Sammy..." he said further.
"Wait, what about yourself?" he then asked her.
"Have you felt any of these effects yet?"

"Evan's stille out." Vicki reminded him before sighing.
"I'm fine. I think the barriars here at the council are strong enough, and old enough, to protect against that magic." She added.
"Beyond that, I have no idea how anyone there is faring, but I... really wouldn't be surprised if they are affected... it's back in that area, after all."
