She wanders away
Tiptoeing into the darkness
Carefully avoiding the light

One, two, three
Something moves
She ducks behind the shadow

She looks up, nervously
With eyes barely visible
She senses something moving again

Eyes widen
Wait and watch
Strain to listen

Sinister silence
And then suddenly
Out of the screeching darkness

A nervous giggle escapes
But ends abruptly
With a hint of terror

Eyes refocus
Look for an invisible hand
Pushing the voice down

A smile forms on the invisible face
The hand keeps her down too
She’s engulfed by invisibility

Ninja master hiding in the shadows of the night gets discovered by a little cheery-eyed girl despite his expertise.

That's what I picturized.
