She screeched as the inky black washed over her eyes. It got into her ears and her mouth. It stuck her fingers together and made her knees buckle. She slumped to the ground.
Why was this happening? She couldn't even fight it.
She didn't know how long she sat there, silently crying on the ground. She could barely hear her ragged breaths. She couldn't see, she couldn't talk. What was she gonna do?

He heard her crying, why would she be crying? He followed the sound of her sobs. They grew louder with every step.
Then he saw her.
Still beautiful as ever, but black... something was all over her face. He couldn't see her eyes. He rushed to her side and brushed his fingers over her shoulder. She flinched.
"Hey, it'll be alright, we'll find a way to fix this," he muttered reassuringly.
She kept crying. Could she not hear him?
He kissed her cheek and picked her up. If he was in her place, this would be so scary. He carried her to his house, maybe he could help her somehow.
