A/N: The last chapter of this story should be treated more of like an epilogue than an actual chapter...sorry if that's confusing, but you'll see why I say this after you read it. Thanks for all the reviews-hope this covers it for those of you who asked what would be next for Violet? (Ok, maybe you didn't say it in so many words...but...leave me alone, I am seriously caffeine deprieved...)
Anyway. Here we go...
While it is true that that sort of pain and abuse does not go away over night, that night was the first step to my recovery. Whether or not the recovery would ever be full was questionable but I had my brother and sister to lean on. My siblings had given me my best birthday present. They had begun to free me from hooks that ran deep and to help heal the emotional scars I still felt.
Years later, Olaf would be caught for some crime, what it was does not matter. I would go before the judge and jury and tell them every thing from the least to the most that that evil man had ever inflicted on me or my family. I would watch as his shiny, shiny eyes lost their glow as I recounted all the abuses he had heaped upon me before moving on to the way he had made my siblings suffer as well. I would have the satisfaction of facing my worst fear and watch it be carried away in chains. As Olaf was placed in chains, I would feel as if my chains were being removed. With the help of my family, I would finally be free.
I remembered the words I had read on a burned archway so many years ago. Now, the world is quiet here.
So, I hope you enjoyed it. This was one of the few stories that I've ever just sat down and wrote so if there are mistakes, which I'm sure there are, please let me know and I'd be more than willing to fix them.
I've asked myself a few times why I decided to write this. The answer is: I have no clue. I thought about rape but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Somethings you just don't write about (that's just my opinion however, I've read a few really great stories that deal with rape, so...) Hope you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for hanging with me through the ride.
