Disclaimer: I do not own any of the ASOUE characters or plot lines. I am not Daniel Handler. If I were, why would I be on a fan fiction site instead of writing a new ASOUE book?
I don't own the song "Reason To Live" either.
Reason To LiveViolet could remember the moment so vividly.
"Your parents have died in a terrible fire."
The words roared in her ears…
What is the meaning of life?
I've asked myself so many times
Is there a reason I'm here?
I wish someone would make it clear
The days following were even more confusing. She remembered a brief stay at the Poe's house, but she couldn't really remember any of the details about it. All she knew was that she had been very happy when she had left the Poe's house. Too bad she didn't know who her first guardian was going to be…
She knew she had to keep strong for the sake of Klaus and Sunny. Even if she wasn't really strong, she had to act like it… If she couldn't be strong for them, she didn't know who would.
'Cause I'm living from day to day, feeling so far away
Maybe I'm not as sane as I thought
Keeping my eyes on You is something I've gotta do
Even when I don't feel like it
By the time they had gotten out of the claws of Count Olaf for the first time, Violet was beginning to feel a little stronger. But still in the back of her mind, she knew that she would never be as strong as she was before her parents had died.
I won't give up, I won't give in
I'm ready for my life to start again
I won't back down, I'll stand my ground
A lot of the time Violet wanted to just fall over and give up. Throw in the dishtowel. But she knew she couldn't. There were two reminders walking beside her every step of the journey.
Klaus and Sunny were her reason to live.
Without them she didn't know how she would have been able to make it.
I've got a reason to breathe, I've got the freedom to stand
The future is mine, I'll give it all I can
To break down the walls that hold me in
It's my reason to live
