What was that? Starring out of the closet he decided to play possum, after all, nothing brings out the zest in life like the chance to get killed.

Oh god. He glanced at his sisters hiding place and held his breath. Olaf was heading right for them. Klaus began to pray, maybe he'd just look on a hunch and wouldn't notice the infant and her teenage sister hidden within. He was still watching it. Why was he still watching it? Klaus wanted to scream but he just sat there. What's he doing?

A pipe. A big. Heavy. I will smash your head in kind of pipe. This wasn't going to happen again. Klaus had let Olaf scar Violet once. Having her head beat in was not much better. He jumped out from behind the coats and jumped on Olaf's back.

Olaf let out a howl of surprise and rage as Violet and Sunny escaped. Klaus was hanging on for dear life as Olaf spun in circles. He began to pull on Klaus' hair and shirt to get him off. But Klaus was still acting like glue.

Where are they? Klaus looked up and watched as Violet spun on her heels and saw just who had saved them. That's when it happened. He let go and flew into the wall. And now Klaus was able to look up just in time to see Olaf bring the pipe down.

Black. Black, painful, and frightening. Sitting up quickly he observed his surroundings. He was lying on a cot surrounded by mail. Was he at a post office? That's when he noticed the girls sleeping in the corner. There was a little on and the other girl looked like she was in her teens. Feeling guilty he got out of the cot and put the little girl in it. He'd move the older one but she was too heavy.

Now, what am I doing here? Looking around he saw a door, but it looked like it was locked. "Klaus?!" Suddenly he was getting the life squeezed out of him by the older girl. "Your up! You woke up! Oh god, I thought you were dead!" Why would he be dead? Turning to face the girl he asked her the one question that would alter their lives.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Violet. I-Why don't you know who I am?" He Blinked and began muttering her name over and over again. Then stopped when he saw the odd look that…Vanessa. No wait he thought, it wasn't Vanessa it was Amanda. Wait. That didn't sound right either. Was she Kayla? No, what was her name? Why was he trying to guess her name? She hadn't even told him yet!

"Who are you?"

Now she was really looking at him oddly. "I'm Violet, Klaus, are you alright?"

"Violet huh? That's a pretty name. Nice to meet you." Sticking out his hand he waited for Violet…or was it Klaus to shake his hand. Wait now, she'd used both names how could he be sure that he hadn't just insulted her. But no, Elizabeth was much more feminine than Luke so she had to be the first one. Man was this weird.

She just starred at him. Then gulping she asked, "What's the last thing you remember?" He thought hard. Hard as he could.

"I was reading in my parents library. And my mom was calling me to dinner." Looking up the girl looked horrified. "Do your parents have a library?" She shook her head seeming to decide on something.

"No, OUR parents died in a fire two years ago. WE haven't heard OUR mothers voice in a few years." He paused and wondered briefly if she was schizophrenic. She, however was staring right at him as if waiting for him to say, that's right!

"Are you ok?" He asked then decided to elaborate, "I mean are you…are you…"What was he talking about. Starring into space he thought about it then drawing on a blank opened his mouth to say something. "What were we talking about?" Smiling he hoped to get an answer.

She was crying now. "Why don't you remember? Klaus what's wrong? What kind of joke is this, I thought you were never going to wake up and now your playing games?" Klaus blinked.

"Are we playing a board game? Like Parcheesi?" She grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard. She was screaming at him and then she was just crying. Holding her gently he figured he should try to comfort her. She seemed upset.

"Hey, listen…um…" What was her name? Upon seeing her look at him desperately he tried to finish his sentence. Judging by how sad she was he must have been consoling her. "It'll be ok." He smiled at the girl and then saw a little girl staring at him from a cot he hadn't even noticed. Seeing the little one upset he mouthed the words 'Your mom will be fine.'

The woman in his arms looked up at him. "No I-it won't. You-You honestly remember nothing?" What was he trying to remember? Better just play along for now he thought. "Nope, I don't remember anything. By the way what's your name?" She looked crushed.

Maybe I should write stuff down he thought. Wriggling out of her grasp her picked up some paper and a pencil. What was he going to write down though?

"Klaus, I want you to copy every moment your can remember from this moment on down." He looked up at the strange man who was talking to him. His name was Lemon-no, Al- not quiet, Marcus? Well it was something. Looking back up at Norbert he asked, "What's my name?" With a sigh Chris told him, "Klaus. Your name is Klaus" Repeating the name he wrote it down.

Hello, your name is Klaus and this is your life journal. You will faithfully write down what happens to me everyday.

Brent took the page and pasted it into a notebook. Then handed it to Klaus. Slowly Klaus turned it over and over in his hands then looking up at Harold he smiled. "Thank you, it's a beautiful gift." Jake smiled and said "Read it." Opening the notebook he read the first few lines.

"Can you handle those instructions?" The older looking girl asked. Looking up startled Klaus, a charming name he had decided, smiled. "Sure. I can do this." And he began to write.
