Chapter One: Normalcy
"Klaus, when are you going to learn to put your socks in the laundry basket, not around it," Violet lectured. Klaus gave her a cocky grin from behind the book he had his nose buried in. Violet turned to him when he didn't respond, her eyebrows raised. Klaus let the book slide down just enough to make eye contact with her. Her face was expectant.
"Yeah, alright, I'm sorry," Klaus said at last. Violet sighed and couldn't help but smile.
"Just be sure to put them in next time. By the way, did you pick up Sunny from preschool yet?" Klaus looked up and the book was completely away from his face this time. His eyes were bewildered and a bit concerned.
"I though you were picking her up," he said. Violet stopped her cleaning immediately.
"Klaus, I told you I too busy, remember?" It was like a slap to Klaus's face. He now remembered her addressing him about it while he was reading. Violet's eyes grew wide with worry. "Do you mean to tell me she's still waiting there?"
Both siblings sprang to the front door immediately. "You stay, I'll go," Klaus cried, already running down the street and away from the mansion they bought with their fortune. After all, Violet had finally turned eighteen and was still currently eighteen, She longed to go back to school she had to stay home for a few years, taking care of Klaus and Sunny.
Violet sighed as she watched Klaus go. Typical Klaus, she thought, always preoccupied with a book.
Klaus reached the preschool in record time. He could feel the pulse in his legs and his head. He walked toward the front door. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Owen," he said, addressing Sunny's teacher, who stood beside little Sunny.
"What happened?" Ms. Owen questioned.
"It's a long story, but it won't happen again. I promise."
"Yes, well you should be apologizing to your sister, not me."
"Sorry, Sunny," Klaus murmured, scooping her into his arms. Sunny giggled.
"It's okay, Klaus." Klaus smiled and carried his sister home. He had no idea that he would be carrying home his other sister in the not too distant future. He also had no idea that the not too distant future would be a complete nightmare…
