The day her father died, five year old Viola was curled up in bed fast asleep. She had spent all night throwing up, therefore the next morning her mommy had sent her sisters to their grandparents' so that she could rest in peace. Around two in the afternoon she woke up with a cold sweat and panting heavily. Viola looked around her wildly and shrieked, "Mommy! Mommy!" The young girl held her breath, waiting for Esme to erupt inside her room and comfort her.
When her mother did not appear, Viola jumped out of bed with a frown. She reached for her cloak and draped it around her shoulders before padding out of her room. Viola ran towards her parents' room. She stopped in her tracks by the doorway and looked from her father to mother in confusion. Esme was on the bed rocking backwards and forwards and her father was dead on the ground. She stepped slowly inside the room and sat down on the floor beside her father.
She started poking his arm and whispered, "Daddy? Wake up. I think Mommy is sick." No matter what she said or how much she shook him, her father did not move. Viola looked at her mother and realised she needed her. The child scrambled to her feet and walked towards her mother. She struggled to climb on the bed and wrapped her arms around her mother. "Mommy? Please don't cry. I will make your bad dreams go away this time." Viola moved closer towards Esmerelda and rested her head in her mother's lap.
... Five days later
Viola was sad that they had to leave their home. But she loved her mother and would follow her anywhere. Esme had explained that their father was now in hell because he did a very bad thing to her. Her father had cheated. Viola was not entirely sure what that meant, but she started hated her father for hurting her mommy. In the afternoon, she left the manor and started wondering down the streets with a pout. Her mother did not know she had gone out. Viola was sure she would be upset but she also knew he would not tell her off.

Viktor just remained in his bed, crying all day, what was wrong in this family, why were they doing things like this, wasn't the weewee just used for the toilets? He just shook his head, tears in his eyes, as he hugged his pillow and just fell asleep, he was thinking of the girl he met, Fifi, she was so nice and she was a friend, he hoped he would see her again.
5 days later
Viktor got up and sneaked out of the room with a necklace he bought with his mums money, he hoped she wouldn't notice at all that some money was missing. He went outside, hoping Fifi would be there, no one knew that he was out, so he was walking calmly to that place where he met Fifi, hoping she'd be there, he ran there, excited to see her, he wanted to see her and talk to her, she made his days better and made him forget about the hell that was happening in his house, no doubt about it, his mom and aunt were probably drunk and doing stuff to each other, it horrified him when he was forced to watch.
Once he arrived to the place, he just saw Fifi walking and smiled, running to her, he tripped and fell face first on the floor, but he got up and ran back to her, his face a bit red and his nose bleeding, he just smiled at her. "Fifi?" Viktor said, with excitement in his voice, as he went to hug her tightly, touching his nose trying to wipe off the blood, he looked at the red liquid for a few moments, wondering what it was. |

Viola had been so immersed in her own thoughts that she had noticed Viktor approaching until he had his arms around her small frame. As he hugged her, she stood motionless with a vacant expression in her eyes. "Hi darling," she said weakly. Until five days previously, Viola used to listen to her mommy call her father darling and she thought it was the proper greeting for males that were friends. When the hug was over, she looked at his nose curiously. "Does it hurt?" she asked. Viola placed her hands on either side of his face and stood on the tip of her toes. Like her mother did when she was hurt and had blood, Viola pressed her lips to Viktor's nose and kissed the blood away.

Viktor just smiled at his friend, he never understood the darling part so he was usually surprised with that but he seemed to enjoy it, his cheeks blushed when she kissed his nose, he hasn't expected anything like this. Was this what they call first kiss? Perhaps not, it was supposed to be on the lips no? He just shook his head though, he was accustomed to pain so he wouldn't feel it much. "It doesn't really hurt.. hum Fifi.. are you alright?" Viktor said, something seemed odd with her, she seemed lost in her thoughts and the fact it took her some time to realize he was here, he just looked at her concerned and instantly put his hand on her forehead, like he saw some muggle parents do when it seemed their kids were feeling bad.

Viola jerked her head away and said with a pout, "Your hands are cold." She stared down at her feet and started twirling a long strand of hair around her finger. Viola heaved a deep sigh and mumbled, "I am like you now darling. I do not have a daddy any more." Viola looked up at Viktor and shrugged. She moved away from Viktor and went to sit down on the side of the road. Viola rested her chin in her hand and sighed again.

Viktor just listened to her, his smile fading away as he felt sad for her, he went to sit next to her, remaining silent, he wasn't really sure what a daddy was but it sounded important, he put his hand on her back and started caressing. "Will you be alright? I'm here for you... always will be I promise, cross my heart." Viktor said, moving his hand to do the deed, he also saw that from muggles as he kept looking at her, he just hugged her, trying to make her feel better.

Viola did not pull away when Viktor started caressing her back. It felt comforting and she decided that she liked him. She rested her head on his shoulder and gave half a nod. "I think so. I still have my mommy. She loves me a lot." Viola wrapped her limbs around Viktor's shoulders and whispered, "I will miss you."

Viktor liked her a lot, as he looked at her calmly he just listened and smiled, at least she had a better mother than he did. Her next words just froze him in place, what did she mean by that? He looked at her, his face being a bit closer than usual without knowing why he just kept looking. "W...what do you mean...?

Viola looked back at Viktor with a sad expression. "My daddy died in our house, so we are moving to a new one." She had been taught not to expose family matters to others. And in this case Viola also understood that if people knew that her mommy had killed her daddy, they would take Esme away from her. Although she was only five, Viola had promised herself to protect her mother forever.

Viktor's expression saddened, his arm loosened as he looked away calmly, he was alone again, he sighed as he looked away, holding back tears, he then looked at her and just leaned on, kissing her cheek. "Promise me you'll visit.." Viktor just said as he looked at her, hopeful, he then put his hand in his pockets, taking out the necklace.

The five year old felt her eyes well with tears when Viktor looked away. She pulled back and folded her hands in her lap. Viola allowed the tears trickle down her cheeks. She knew she would not be able to visit him; her mother would never allow it. Right there and then Viola vowed never ever to have another friend, for fear of losing them like she was about to lose Viktor. Viola was unsure on how tp reply. Viktor looked upset enough without knowing she would never be back. She forced a smile on her lips and said, "I promise." Viola craned her neck and asked curiously, "What is that darling?"

Viktor just smiled as he gave her the heart necklace, putting it on her hand and closing it, he smiled at her. Taking his part of the necklace which was the key, he put it on his neck gently and smiled, touching the key, he didn't understand the message but he knew he had his half of the necklace and she had hers, he just smiled. "A gift from me.. do you want me to put it on your neck Fifi?" Viktor said, smiling at her.

Viola opened her hand and looked down at the necklace. She bent her head and started reading the inscription out loud. "I think the words sound nice, although I do not understand them. Does it mean we will be friends forever?" Viola returned his smile and handed him back the necklace while saying, "Yes please."

"I think so, I hope so." Viktor said smiling as he put the necklace of the heart on her neck, he just smiled at her, he did find the words to be nice, though he was completely obvious to the words, he just looked at her, and not sure why, but he felt like doing what the grown ups seem to do to their friends, he gave her a kiss on the lips.

"Me too," she said in response. Viola lifted her hair like she had seen her mother do, so that he could fasten the necklace around her neck. Viola grabbed the heart in her hands and looked down at it with a smile. She was startled when she felt Viktor's lips on hers. Viola jumped backwards and wiped her lips with the back of her hand while saying, "Eww darling. Only mommies and daddies do that." She paused and tipped her head to the side. Viola grinned and added, "When we become mommies and daddies we will kiss on the lips." She offered him her hand and added, "Deal?"
