Took me long enough, but I'm back. Next chapter!
Il mondo รจ tranquillo qui.
Violet's legs swung faster and faster on the edge of the bunk. Her toe hit the opposing bunk with a "twang". She winced, but kept going. Water sloshed at the bottom of the chamber. It was damper than the bottom of a lake in the Queequeg.
Klaus dashed in, looking around before siezing a book from his bunk.
"Klaus, wait." Klaus turned, questioning. "Klaus, I have to talk to you."
"Now? I have some research with Fiona."
"KLAUS, this is desperate!"
Klaus eyed her with a slow spark of panic in his pupils. He was afraid of the subject. "...what is it?"
"This is really hard to say..."
"Just say it, Vi. Bottling it up will do nothing."
Violet decided to not directly tell him. His readings would clue him in. "I-I-I...I missed a period."
Klaus twitched, then dropped the book. "W-what?!" Violet just stared at him, frightened. Klaus didn't move, trying to process the implications of what she said. "Violet, you're not suggesting that-"
"I am."
"Who did it?"
"Quigley." Violet looked down, not brave enough to meet his horrified stare. "On the slope."
"Violet...how could you?" Klaus was breathing heavily, trying to control his emotions that threatened to spill over and burn through his heart. "How COULD you?! We have a responsablity here! To our parents and to Sunny! To other people! You have stolen it from them!"
"Klaus! How dare you!" Violet was suddenly alight with fire. "I'm human, and besides, I don't know for sure!" The siblings stared at each other. Klaus sighed.
"We have to calm down here. Let's be rational." He adjusted his glasses. "There is little we can do at this time. We just have to..."
"Wait." Violet's eyes dropped. "We must wait." The younger picked up his book and put a hand on his sister's shoulder.
"It'll be fine, Vi...I promise."
GAH! short! well, i have to. see you next time!
