Darkness
When I was a kid, I was so scared of darkness. I hated the darkness when I was in bed, so I begged my parents to stay beside me or turn on the light. It wasn't only at night. I didn't like the poorly lighted hallway because of the contrast between outside brightness and it. I believed a scary monster lurked in the darkness. This tendency disappeared as I grew up.

Nice job! The distinction between "the dark" and "the darkness" is kind of odd, which I had never realized until now. The dark is a lack of light, so it makes more sense as an entity to be afraid of. Darkness is the state of being dark, so a monster may lurk in the darkness.
