“Isn’t she adorable just sleeping in here?” Dark’s mother, Velvet Heart, whispered to Dark’s father, Hidden Nightfall, while she stood in front of Dark’s crib. It was 1 A.M at that time. Dark was a baby in her 2nd year of living.

“Shh, let’s get out before she wakes up,” Hidden Nightfall replied.

As they slowly closed the door, Hidden Nightfall felt a bit anxious about what he’s about to tell Velvet Heart. He decides to man up and just spit it out. “I need to talk to you,” Hidden Nightfall said holding Velvet Heart’s shoulders. He could hear her heartbeat and by the look on Velvet’s face she looked a bit worried.

“W-what’s wrong, hun?” Velvet stuttered. “Is it your job? Did something happen?!” Velvet was extremely worried now.

“No, it’s just...look I have to leave for 5 years for a really important mission, okay? I promise to contact you and Dark Note, I promise to always send messages and letters to you, okay? Just trust me, I’ll never leave you both behind,” Hidden Nightfall told her. She was crying at this moment. As hugged her she cried even more but he told her not to waste her tears.

“W-when are you leaving?” Velvet questioned with a pale face.

“I’m leaving tomorrow at noon, I’ve already packed my stuff so just calm down, everything’s going to be fine, alright?” Hidden told Velvet as he caressed her cheeks.

-The next day-

“Daddy? Where are you going?” Dark asked her father while he held his bag and heading towards the door. “I’ll be back, sweetheart” he replied as he kissed her forehead.

“Be safe, I love you” Velvet told Hidden Nightfall as she gave him his water bottle and gave him a big hug.

“I love you too, honey” Hidden responded to her as he pecked her lips and headed towards the door waving a goodbye to them.

Velvet was trying not to tear up but she remembered his words. “Don’t tear up..don’t even tear up” Velvet murmured to herself.

“Mommy, I’m hungry,” Dark Note told her mother. “Alright, sweetie,” Velvet sniffed.

-After 4 years-

Dark was 6 at that time, she was drawing in her new book that her cousin, Dim Chords, bought it for her on her birthday. Dim Chords was 16 at that time, he treated Dark Note as his little sister. He loves her so much and always cares about her. He was Hidden Nightfall’s nephew. He asked his parents if he could stay for 2 weeks in Dark Note’s family house. He even bought two chocolate bars, one for him and the other for Dark.

Meanwhile, Dark was drawing on her new drawing book and Velvet was washing the dishes. Velvet heard the doorbell ring.

“Who’s there?” She asked as she placed her eye on the tiny window and she saw a young boy standing behind the door holding his backpack. It was Dim Chords. “It’s Dim Chords!” He replied.

“Come in” Velvet Heart said opening the door for him. “It’s very nice to be here again,” Dim said as he looked around the house. “Where’s Dark Note?” Dim asked Velvet Heart.

“She’s in the living room drawing, have fun with her and don’t misbehave” Velvet replied raising her finger.

“Alright, auntie” Dim Chords nodded and went to the living room

“Dark! I have something for you!” Dim said and he place both of his hands on his back while holding the two chocolate bars. “Dim! I missed you! What’s the surprise?! I love surprises!” Dark asked him excitedly.

“Look what I got?” Dim responded to Dark Note whilst giving the chocolate bar to her. “Chocolate! Yay!” Dark cheered.

Suddenly, they heard a scream coming from the kitchen and Dim hurried to the kitchen and found Velvet sitting on the ground crying her eyes out. He sat beside her and asked her what’s wrong.

“Auntie! What happened?!” Dim asked her looking worried. “Is there anything bad happened? Is it uncle Hidden Nightfall?”

Velvet nodded and told him to watch the news. He did what he’s been told to do.

“Breaking news, there’s been a tragic death of 3 soldiers and 5 injuries. One of them was killed by a bomb and the two others where shot. Some say one of the dead ones was a father of one girl and a wife, the others where his friends. We send all the prayers and support to their families.” The news reporter said. Dim was shocked. Dark was standing putside the kitchen door and did not believe what she just heard.

“D-daddy?” Dark whispered. She ran upstairs to her room and kept crying for hours until her mother and cousin came up to calm her down. Dark called her friend Fiery Music and told her everything. Fiery Music headed towards Dark’s house and gave Dark a big hug and she even cried with her since she’s her best friend.

That’s where Dark Note’s depression started.

-A couple of years after Hidden Nightfall’s sudden death-

Dark Note is now 17 years old.

It was the first day of high school and she still has her best friend Fiery Music by her side. Dark and Fiery wanted to have a new friend. A third one.

“Dark, I’m bored, why don’t we find a new friend?” Fiery questioned.

“I don’t know about that, by the way, it’s still in 7:30 in the morning and class hasn’t started yet, we’ll see about our new classmates, maybe we can find someone interesting? Maybe I’ll finally find someone to fall for, maybe-“ Dark was cut off by Fiery’s “what?” expression.

“Heh..sorry if I went that deep,” Dark apologized scratching the back of her head. “Nah it’s fine, I want a boyfriend too,” Fiery told her and giggled.

Dark was about to say something but she was distracted by the school bell.

“Well, it’s time to got to class,” Dark said feeling a bit nervous.

“You don’t have to be nervous, Dark! I bet the teacher and the students would be cool,” Fiery told Dark placing her hand on her shoulder.

“No it’s just...what if the teacher asked us about our parents? Should I tell her that my father died?” Dark responded whiping the tears off her face. “If only we can turn back time..”

“Calm down, Dark, everything’s going to be fine” Fiery said rubbing Dark’s back to calm her down.

They entered the classroom and Dark felt like her life flashed before her eyes.
