Blindsight

"Ouch!" The old woman rubbed her elbow. "Watch where you're going!"

The girl straightened her uniform and lowered her eyes to where she thought the woman's would be. "I'm sorry, ma'am."

The woman caught sight of the girl's garnet eyes, milky white at the pupils. "Oh, my dear…." she started. The girl started to walk away, but not without a smile and a fare-you-well. The old woman crossed herself and thanked God she had been spared the girl's handicap in her advancing years.

"Hey, you! Get off that ledge!" The maintenance man rushed into the foyer, shaking his fist at the girl.

She looked up, smiling gently. "I'm sorry, sir. I was just resting for a moment." The man looked at her, recoiling at her red eyes with white pupil. Sensing a change in his emotions, the girl stood and bowed to the man. "I will be on my way now." She walked out of the building and down the street. Utterly befuddled, the man stood stock-still and scratched his head.

Day was coming to an end; she could feel it in the air, the way the leaves of the bamboo switched in the wind. She slowed her pace, on the city street, enjoying the moment. Suddenly, she felt something pulling at her uniform skirt, and a shrill voice accompanying.

"Miss, have you seen my kitty? She's this big-" the girl waved her arms to show the approximate height and size of the cat- "and she's gray, and there's a red ribbon with a bell around her neck and-" the girl stopped speaking, noticing the how the woman had strange eyes, red like hers but with white in the center. "Oh..." she said. Inching away from the woman, she babbled "I'm sorry for bothering you, thanks for helping me to try and find my kitty; I think I see her now! Come here, Diana!" The girl ran away.

Sighing, she walked down the street. She walked and walked, her legs straining, until she stopped in front of a pair of white marble doors, padlocked with rusty locks. Reaching into her pocket, she found a silver key topped with a garnet stone inside of a piece of metal fashioned into a heart. The key, evidently alerting her to these doors, was vibrating. Smiling, she felt her way up the steps and reached the doors. Using this device to unlock the door, she stepped inside.

She closed her eyes and shouted ""Pluto Crystal Power, make up!" Her uniform vanished, and in its place was a short skirt and leotard fashioned like a sailor's outfit. In her right hand was a rod shaped like a larger version of the key she had used to unlock the door. When she had fully changed, she heard a deep chuckle that seemed to emanate from the walls around her, and a voice that seemed to come from the earth itself.

"Good to see you home, Princess Pluto."

She smiled at the walls around her. "And the same to you, Father Cronos."
