Why Me?

Save Me

She could feel the lights unhurriedly dim into nothing, one by one.

The warmth she thought they brought was now vanished

There was no longer anything keeping the dreadful things away, naught remained to stop them from reaching any further than they could already get.

Nothing to help guide her.

No longer did she see the flickering shade of the lights, but instead her shadowed world turned dark.

Sakura could no longer sugar coat the reality of her current condition; her weary mind could no longer retain the painful truth from herself;

She was sightless, broken and had been fucked over by those she perceived to be the good guys.

How erroneous she'd been.

Sakura couldn't begin to fathom why this cruel and twisted fate had been thrown into her path, although she unashamedly guessed it was karma for believing that there was such thing as an un-corrupted system.

Never once in the past did she believe that there was more than what she was already seeing –

And this is the price she'd pay for her incompetence and stupidity.

This war torn female shinobi needed no sight to know that simple thing.

And as the last hopeful flame swept into a smoky stream, Haruno Sakura was for the first time in her life, not scared of the creatures waiting in the dark.
