Chapter29- Sacrifice part2
Violet climbed out of the taxi she had taken paying the driver and gaze at the Hotel Denouement the last safe place for VFD, entering she made her way to the desk "hello mam may I help" the man behind it asked.
"Yes, sir I was wondering if you had a room, you see I haven't had a Very Fun Day it's been full of Vastly Frightening Drama and I heard tha the world is quiet here" she answered. The man behind the desk smiled.
"You wouldn't be any relation to a woman named Beatrice. May I ask your name young lady" he asked.
"Baudelaire Sir Violet Baudelaire I'm her daughter" Violet answered in relief using her real name the last few years she had been forbidden to use her proper name by Olaf so being able to tell someone who she was made her feel lighter than she had for some time.
"Violet, you disappear some years ago and now here you are I know some people who would very much like to see you again" he smiled "The name's Dewy by the way I'm a bit of a ghost around here let me show you to your room and see if I can get in touch with them for you"
"Thank you so much "sighed Violet as they stopped outside a room. Dewy smiled and left to send his wife Kit Volunteer Factual Dispatch telling her to bring the Quagmires and Baudelaire's to the Hotel ASAP.
…
The last three years had both been good and bad for Klaus, Sunny, Isadora, Duncan and even Quigley who they had reunited with. Klaus and Isadora were engaged and both worked at the local university as English lecturers, Duncan worked for the paper using his journalism skills to reveal the truth to people if if wasn't what they wanted to hear he knew that from experience the truth even though ugly was important to hear, he was happy for his friend and sister but he missed Violet and couldn't bring himself to move on. Sunny was five and in reception her sharp teeth now permeant and she loved to cook more than anything. Quigley worked aboard the Queequeg as their cartographer with his girlfriend Fiona and was currently undersea with her. So when Kit appeared on their doorstep before they left in the morning saying that she was to bring them to the Hotel Denouement and it was important. They were more than happy to go. VFD had been helping them locate Violet in hopes of helping her perhaps now after three years they might have some news.
The group of four entered the lobby and were greeted by two of the Denouement brothers "Ah Baudelaire's, Quagmires it is good to see you all again" one of them said.
"Do you have news for us?" asked Klaus
"Violet found" gabbled Sunny as the elevator dinged open and someone walked out freezing as she saw the people in front of her.
"Better" said the other as a loud cry of "Klaus" echoed through hotel lobby and Klaus found himself swept into a hug "Violet" he exclaimed hugging his sister. She pulled away from him and looked at him seriously "please tell me you asked Isadora out" she demanded Isadora laughed and said "no he did one better" and showed Violet the ring that Klaus had given her last year making her squeal she hugged Isadora "Welcome to the family" she said. She then scooped up her little sister "Sunny you have grown so much you look so beautiful" she gushed "Violet real not dream?" asked Sunny.
"No Sunny I am here" she laughed. Lastly, she faced Duncan not meeting his eyes she couldn't bear to not after what she had done to him he too had grown and was a few inches taller than her lifting up her "Look at me Violet, I don't resent what you did you gave us our best chance, I don't know how you feel about us now after three years I don't know what he has done to you if he has done anything at all but what I do know is that I still love you Violet Baudelaire" he said. Violet let out a sob she didn't expect him to say that he understood or that he forgave her "I love you too Duncan Quagmire" she let out a smile as Duncan wrapped his arms around her and kissed her "As soon as we leave here, I'm getting you a ring and never letting you go again" he said. And for the first time in three years Violet felt truly happy, she felt safe and she felt loved.
