Summary: She's not scared of the dark.
Author's Notes: I'm back. Hoorah. I do not hoard ownerships. Don't sue.
It wasn't the dark that scared her. She can handle that pretty well; she had been in situations where she had to hide herself in corners and shadows in order not to get caught. It's the colorless world that frightened her. Being blind didn't mean that you see nothing but black. You don't see anything, period. But it's not as simple as seeing nothing, because she can always see things in her head. She was afraid of blindness because that meant permanently being able to see a colorless world of other people's emotions in her head, without any assurance that the world outside is of a different hue.
