Violet held back tears as she looked at her brother. He had two long gashes in his chest where his sweater was torn, a bite mark on his neck and a long scratch on his cheek that came from his ear all the way to his mouth where a slow stream of blood ran from.
She closed her eyes fighting back tears. "Klaus, please, please wake up… I don't know what to do to help you! I'm afraid, oh; please Klaus… don't give up… I'm going to help, I promise… I'm going to find help… Sunny and I will find Quigley; he can take us to VFD! Oh, Klaus wake up!" but as much as he could hear his sister's cries, Klaus couldn't pull himself out off his dazed state. He wanted to get up, he wanted to comfort his sister, and tell her he was okay… but he couldn't… as hard as he tried he couldn't. Through his squinted eyes he could see violet over him; her eyes sparkled in the moonlight that now filtered through the trees.
She was crying for him! Klaus had seen Violet Stand on the remains of what was once their home and life, look at the dead body of a man who had cared and loved them with all he had, watch their aunt get eaten by leaches, seen a man get his leg crushed, seen their two best friends get kidnapped, dropped from an elevator shaft, locked in jail, almost killed on more than one occasion, almost been thrown to lions, watched helplessly as Quigley Quagmire was tossed down a separate rapid way, watched a friend betray them, see Kit Snicket die, and not once had she cried. Klaus wasn't sure if these tears made him think of his sister as determined, a coward, scared, or guilty, but they were for him… weren't they? (See The Snicket Poems, Chpt. One, Revenge Poem for details!)
Violet picked her brother from the ground. "I'm not going to leave you," she whispered in Klaus's ear. She propped Klaus onto her back and began to walk deeper into the forest. Suddenly she felt something tugging at her skirt. "Sunny!" she said looking at Sunny's tear stained face. "Oh, Sunny! I'm so sorry! I should have- but I didn't- Sunny are you okay?" Sunny looked at Violet with something like anger glowing in her eyes.
"Forgaiows!" Sunny shouted which meant, "How could you leave me like that! That wolf bucked me clear over to that tree and you didn't care! You just left me to help Klaus! Did you ever think that the wolf could have hurt me!?!" Violet looked at Sunny pain stabbing at her heart. "Sunny, I'm sorry, I was just so worried-""Bolas!" Sunny shrieked meaning, "Yeah, about Klaus!" Violet held Klaus tighter as he began to slip off her back. "Sunny, come here…" she whispered to Sunny sadly. Sunny reluctantly came to Violet who picked her up and set her on her shoulder. "Sunny… Klaus is hurt very badly, he won't wake up and if we don't find help he's going to die."
Sunny's angred face suddenly vanished as she looked at Klaus. "Boeega!" she said meaning, "I'm sorry Violet, I didn't realise how hurt Klaus was." Violet smiled. "It's okay Sunny, I'm not angry, but we need to hurry if we want to help him.
Violet truged through the snow, trying to keep her balence with her brother on her back, and her sister on her shoulder, and to top it all off she was moving up a hill. "LOKEAN!!!" cried sunny as she pointed to the top of the hill. Violet gasped almost dropping her brother. She saw a shape, the shape of a human. Her long hair fluttered as the wind blew, her torn skirt did as well. Behind her there was a trail of smoke. Violet's first thoughts were it was one ofCount Olaf's helpers, but when the girl made no move at them Violet had second thoughts. Mabey the stream of smoke was her home, mabey Count Olaf destroid her home too. Violet wasn't sure weather she should aproach, but what other choise did she have? She slowly climbed the hill tword the person.
"Violet Baudilare?" asked the voice. Violet nodded, not sure if she made the right choice. "Your brother and sister are hurt, let me help you, come on into my cabbin."
