The Best Birthday Present

by whistlerstwin

Violet hoped never to have to confront her memories. Unfortunately, she may have toand she may have to tell her siblings what happened to her when they were with Olaf. Its a oneshot with chapters, if you will. Chapter 4 up!

2. From a Different Perspective

This piece will be short. This is what Klaus is thinking...

I heard the sound of things being shuffled around, then the sound of a needle being drawn across a record and knew that Violet was not sleeping. She adjusted the volume on the player but the notes of Moonlight Sonata still drifted to me. This was not the first time that I had heard her wake up to a nightmare nor the first time that she had remained awake after such a horrible dream. I thought about asking her, about confronting her. I dismissed the idea. She would talk about it when she was ready. Not for the first time, I felt a stab of guilt that I hadn't realized what was happening earlier, then another stab as I had been unable to do anything about it. I rolled over onto my side, trying to sleep, to find solace in the fact that Count Olaf couldn't come near us. I smiled in spite of my current thoughts. Violet had gotten a restraining order against him.
