His world was full of darkness. He had no eyes, and yet he could see the pair in front of him flashing a permanent scarlet in the dim of the room. The man who had taken them stepped up behind him, a hand on his throat to restrict his breathing. Kurapika's chest felt heavy, like a weight was pushing his ribs inwards and constricting his lungs. He felt the blade, as if he were having his eyes removed yet again.

Almost a year had passed since the incident, and yet more often than not the Kurta awoke in a cold sweat, his heart racing and the blood rushing through his ears. His eyes would illuminate the room around him, they shone with such intensity. His stomach would churn at the sight of Chrollo sleeping next to him.
He still had his eyes. Chrollo's uncle had not taken them from him. Still, what he HAD managed to take was far worse.

Quiet nights were the worst.

In Shadows of Night by dstry0515
28 parts Complete Mature
I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.

[Fandoms Game Book 1] "You do realize this isn't my fault. or at least it isn't my fault this time." Chrollo said turning towards the Kurta with a frown. "I don't care if it was you or wasn't just get out of my sight!" of course Kurapika would be furious to find he'd been trapped in a house with the one man who he most despised. Of course it would make his eyes flip colors. And of course there was no way of escaping the place either.
