Amethyst by Gabiscomic on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Amethyst wakes up in her mother's bed. Blinking cautiously, she looks up at the ceiling, now able to see. She carefully runs her fingers over the cheek, feeling the smooth skin. Later on, her fingertips grasp something cold. She continues to run her fingers along the line of staples, not quite understanding the situation.

"Didn't the monster blind me..? Why is my skin.." She sits up, throwing the blanket away. Still in bare feet, she crawls to the nearest mirror, glancing at it timidly. Where the poison had eaten away her face, there was now smooth, new skin. It was carefully pinned to fit. With trembling hands she touched the skin again, suspecting whose work it was. Ame's eyes immediately fill with tears, then, she lowers her head.

"Why are you crying? You can see now." She hears a voice, coming from the doorway. Turning to the door, she sees her mother standing, who looks tired, very tired. The daughter peeks at her shirt, that was bloodied, her mother, in fact, seemed to be skinnier.

"Mother, you did not.." Ame hiccupped, wiping away the streaming tears. Mom smiles crookedly, approaching her daughter.

"That's the least i could've done for you." Mom kisses her forehead, gently caressing her hair at the same time.

(Long story short, Amethyst's mother gave her own skin to heal the poisoned wounds, and as a witch, healed her blinded eyes.)
