Chapter 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Violet, the eldest, had a big situation. Quigley or Duncan. Brothers of the Quagmire triplets, who apparently one was thought to be dead. Violet, in her head, recapped every moment she had spent with the two young boys. Quigley, on that ledge with her silly fork-climber invention that had helped them rescue Sunny and learn the last safe place for V. F. D. Duncan, at the Austre Academy with Vice Principal Nero and his horrible 6 hour violin recitals which had gotten the two triplets captured by Olaf which led to total disaster. Quigley had asked her to come with him to talk.

"Violet? Can I please speak with you?" Quigley asked again, after Violet blanked out on him.

"Oh. Yes. Over here." Violet responded.

"Uh, are you going to V.F.D soon?" Quigley asked.

"Hopefully, we really need to find it. For the safety of Klaus, Sunny, and I." Violet replied, looking down at the ground.

"Where do you think I'll be? Where should I take my siblings?" Quigley asked, but wasn't the question he wanted to ask.

"Well, uh. I haven't really thought about it I guess. Maybe you can-." Violet said, stopping in mid-sentence. "No, I wouldn't want to put you and your siblings in danger. Do you have anyone to stay with? Well...I guess not. We'd have to find that out wouldn't we? Before Thursday?"

"Your going to far out. Going somewhere with your siblings? No adults? Who takes care of you?" Quigley asked.

"We all take care of each other... It's really all we have. We don't have a guardian, we just find out things along our journey."

Now this, is a side of Violet no one has ever seen. She sounds different then the kind girl she was. She sounded frustrated and started to cry. A time she never had in front of her siblings, in front of anyone for that matter.

"I don't know what to do anymore! We have nothing, and now we're running from a villian? I don't know what to do.. This isn't a normal childhood! I want a normal life, my mother and father at home, having friends, eating together as a family! After that incident with Sunny, with the mushrooms, I thought I was going to lose her too! We've been trying to do the best we can. We're trying..." Violet said in tears.

"Everyone knows you are, Violet! We know you never committed those horrific crimes! We know you wouldn't hurt anyone! And, we know that you're doing the best you can." Quigley said, giving Violet a caring hug.

Klaus heard Violet crying, and came to check on her. Violet had felt as if she had a family to care for, that she was a mother. She knew she wasn't but they had no home, cooking for each other, living in places who knows where. They knew they had to care for each other. But as Violet's mother always told her, to stay with each other and care for each other. Was that what she was doing? She had always felt as if It was her responsibility if something ever happened to their mother or father, that she was to provide and care for Klaus and Sunny. She had never thought that it would happen. She never imagined her parents dying that one day. It had come to soon, it was never supposed to happen.

"Violet? Are you alright? I heard cry-" Klaus said, stopping to smile as he saw how nice Quigley was being. "Quigley, thank you."

Quigley smiled, "It's alright. She'll be okay." he said with confidence. Violet sat down on the ground.

"I never thought I would have to take care of them this soon. I knew my parents would die eventually, but this young? I'm still 14. Sunny's only 4! It shouldn't of happened! Not now! Not ever! Olaf is such an evil person! How could he ever!" Violet said.

"Violet, he's an evil person. That's him, he's like that. Like many others in the world. He's like that. V.F.D is here to stop that. Feel good knowing...Knowing that your apart of that. You truly are a member." Quigley said sitting next to Violet on the ground.

"Thanks. Your the only one I'd ever say this too."
