Shade's POV

I was sitting in class wondering if it was ok to let Rein borrow the book. Until some sort of commotion interrupted my thoughts. There were kids gathering outside looking at the top of the school. What's with this commotion? I thought. I tried looking outside at the top and there was a bright purple light at the top. Oh carp! Don't tell me...! I thought as I immediately got up and opened the window.

"Shade, what do you think you're doing?!" the teacher yelled. The entire classes' attention was on me but I ignored them.

"Sorry sensei! But there is something I need to see! I'll make up for this later!" I yelled as I jumped out the window. I landed on the ground and ran towards the group of students. When I looked up I was able to see the glowing purple light clearly. Dang it! I need to get up there! I thought. I looked around first to see if Bright or Fine were out here as well. But it was almost impossible to see them in this group of students.

"Look! The light is dimming now!" a student pointed out. I looked up again. He was right. Instead of searching for Fine and Bright, I started climbing up the side of the wall. When I reached the top, the light was about gone. I jumped over the outside railing and onto the roof grounds. When I looked up I saw Quest. He was standing above Rein who was laying on the ground. She was holding the book in one hand.

"What did you do to Rein, Quest!?" I yelled.

He continued to stare at the motionless Rein. Finally he replied, "I returned her soul to the darkness. It will help end her suffering." I was stunned. As I got closer to Quest and Rein, I was able to see what had happened to her. She was staring at the sky, her eyes had no hint of life in it. Parts of her body were marked with shadows. A large one covered most of the bottom part of her head.

"How will sending her back to the darkness end her suffering!? Her darkness is what's causing her suffer!"

He finally turned his head towards me. "Her soul will give in to the darkness and she will forget everything about her life. Her pain, sorrow, regrets. She will forget everything that was hurting her." he replied. This definitely isn't Quest. Quest still had mercy on all of us but this guy is way different. I thought. "I see that you are wondering who I am. You have that doubtful look in your eyes." he said with a smirk.

"Tch..."

"I am known as the Dark Raven." he said. That name!

"Don't tell me..."

"Yes. I created the Raven's Book. Quest came back to this world to retrieve it. But he was doing poorly so I took over his body. His soul is now wandering the depths of the darkness."

"Quest is...gone?" I said. I clenched my fist. Rein is also gone... What am I suppose to do? What am I suppose to do... I thought. What I never noticed was that my surroundings were being engulfed in the darkness.

When I came back to my senses, I was able to see a group of people. There face were blurry but I remembered them clearly. I realized that I was standing in the middle of the crowd. I was wearing a gray suit with red buttons and red curled up cuffs. My age had also changed. I was much younger than I was now. The adults surrounded me telling me strange things.

"I see that your mother has passed away. We'll take care of you." one of my aunts said.

"She left you with a large inheritance I see. We can take that off your hands." an uncle said. They started getting closer. Their hands trying to grab me as though pulling me further in to the dark. Before I knew it, the inheritance I had was gone. So was my home and some other belongings.

'They didn't care about your mother. The didn't even care about you.' I heard someone whisper. Suddenly the scene changed. It showed the time that I was learning the piano. I was about done playing the piano. I looked at my uncle hoping to see a pleased face but he just slapped me across the face. I looked up stunned at what he did.

"That was awful! You never hit all the right keys and you must play at a slower tempo!" he scolded.

'You were almost always the disappointment.'

The scene changed again. This time I was standing in the midst of an argument about who would run the family business. But the only thing I could do was stand in the corner and watch. There was nothing I could change. I was only told to speak when I was spoken to and do what I was told.

'You turned to your only happiness so she could help you seek freedom.'

Everything changed into the lake by the house. I was sitting there talking with Rein's younger version.

"Hey, Shade, do you like your family?" she asked.

"No. They always expect so much. If I did something wrong, I was punished. If I did something right, only my wrongs are pointed out. If I died, they wouldn't even care. There are others in that house who can easily replace me. I am just an accessory to them." I replied.

She looked at the sky and said, "It must be nice to have a family."

"D-Didn't I just tell you I hated my family?!" She turned to me and smiled.

"Yeah. But I'm thankful to your family. It's because of them that I was able to meet you."

"I still don't understand..." I replied.

'But they took away your only happiness. And you couldn't do anything to help her. You were useless.'

The time where they found out about Rein seemed to appear. I was standing at the glass window. I was able to hear her calling out my name. But I still wasn't able to do anything.

'What makes you think you can save her now?' the voice said. I was at a dead end. I wasn't sure what to do. When I started thinking about what Rein said. But I'm thankful to your family.

"Because I know I can save her. I already know that my family never cared for me. And I have plenty of reasons to hate them. But I am thankful to them because I was able to reunite with my best friend and the one I love most. Even so, my life has never been happier." I said. The voice stopped. My surroundings faded and the darkness vanished along with it.

When I blinked, I was back outside. Quest was still standing over Rein. He looked as though he was waiting for something to happen.

"So you made it back out. But we still must wait for your friend. I doubt she will make it through though." he said as he smirked. Instead of waiting for Rein to wake up I rushed in hoping to save Rein before anything else happened. "I don't have any intention of letting you interfere." he said as he looked at me out of the corner of his eye. But I did not hesitate to charge at him. There was no way i was going to back down after all of us have been through.
