A/N: Written for the Yuki Yuna is a Bingo (Flash), #182 - fear.
Step from Scared
She didn't want to fight.
She didn't.
She was scared.
Everyone else was fighting.
Fighting to protect.
Fighting to win.
Fighting...even though they couldn't win
and she could see that, from where she said.
Could she be the observer
to watch their deaths?
No! She couldn't
but she also couldn't fight.
She was scared.
She was useless, but also
she was scared.
Weren't they scared
as they fought? Of course they were.
But they still fought.
She...she just sat there
watching them,
watching them lose.
She...she had to help. Somehow.
She was useless.
She was scared.
There was a step past that but she couldn't walk to it.
But...her friends.
She had to help them.
There had to be a way
beneath the unmoving legs,
beneath the fear.
She had to find that way.
She glowed.
She wanted to fight
but she was scared.
