Author's notes: I'm back again, here to bring you another chapter!
Chapter Thirteen:
Klaus was in shock.
"They let her get on the phone, but only for five minutes. She tried to explain something about where Fiona was, but she had to get off the phone then," Quigley explained.
Klaus shot out of bed so fast that both of the male Quagmires jumped.
"I'm going. I'll get her out of that prison no matter if it's the last thing I'll do," he said.
"At this rate," Duncan muttered under his breath, "it probably will be."
Klaus gave him a dirty look. "Look. I'm going to die anyway, it's best if I don't die sitting around and waiting to hear if my girlfriend is still alive. I read this book about a falsely accused thief that had to spend five years and prison, and she'll be dead before morning depending on what the other criminals do to her. I'm going to find her, whether you like it or not."
"So… where was the house?" Quigley said.
"A few streets down from here- South Aplauduane Street," Duncan replied.
Klaus and Quigley stared at him. "And you know that… how?" his brother asked him.
"Uh… I've umm, snooped around there to make sure that Fiona was um…"
"Tell the truth, Duncan," Quigley said.
"Uh…"
"TELL THE FREAKING TRUTH!" Klaus yelled. Both of the Quagmires were shocked to hear him so outraged.
"Fiona and I met each other every night for a while. Starting when you came home from the hospital," he told Klaus guiltily. "But I haven't seen her in a week. She said she'd meet me at the square downtown, and then we'd walk around for a while until Fernald came back. Then I snuck out and came back here."
"You… you… I can't believe you!" Quigley screamed. "He tried to kill Klaus! Her brother tried to kill one of your best friends! Don't you even care? Why her, Duncan, why her?"
"I love her, and she loves me. We love each other. Shouldn't that be enough?" he replied.
Klaus put a hand on Duncan's shoulder. "I know. It is. I understand. I should have known something like this was going to happen. I should have-" he irrupted into a coughing fit, blood trailing down his chin. Before anyone could do anything, he sank to the floor.
"Oh my god…" Quigley said, suddenly forgetting his anger towards Duncan. "It's happening…"
"Klaus! Klaus, buddy, can you hear me? Hold on!" Duncan said.
"T-tell… Izzy, Vi and Sunny… that… I l-love them… and…" Klaus trailed off, blacking out before he could say more.
Violet sat on the sofa in the waiting room of the hospital, stunned. Tears were falling down her face. First Isadora was blamed for Fernald's murder, then Duncan admitted that he and Fiona had feeling for each other, and now her brother was dying, had been dying- and hadn't even told her. They told her that he was unconscious, and hopefully would wake just for a few minutes before he died.
It was even worse that she didn't have anyone but Sunny with her to help her get through it- Sunny was her sister, but the age difference sometimes made it hard to confide in her. The Quagmires were out looking for Fiona and any evidence that could save their sister.
Violet held her sobbing little sister close to her, hoping that she could give Sunny the support that she herself so desperately needed.
Author's notes: Well, Klaus isn't doing so well now, is he? Well, thanks for the reviews. I'll try to update soon, but my Newsies story has been keeping me busy… so it might be awhile… The chapters are much longer in that, and it's the first story I've done where each chapter is at least 2000 words long. Hopefully, it'll be the best story I've written so far. So, if any of you guys have seen Newsies, go read/review it, please! And if you haven't… then I recommend watching it, because it so totally rocks! And to read more of my ranting, check out my Xanga, which you can get to from my profile. Read and review, please!
