Chapter Three: The Possession
"Who, Violet! Who attacked you?" Klaus was questioning Violet frantically, but she seemed to be a complete state of panic. Even Sunny thought so.
"I don't know who attacked me!" Violet cried. "I couldn't see anything! It was like nothing was there at all!"
"But you felt something on top of you?" Klaus asked, bewildered. The pieces just didn't fit for him.
"Yes!" Violet screamed, burying her face in her hands. Sunny walked over to her and rubbed her back, which seemed to calm her a little.
"Violet, maybe we should take you to the hospital," Klaus suggested. "I mean, if someone really attacked you then we should have you checked out. Or maybe it was something else, Violet. Something like a seizure or a hallucination or something." Violet lifted her tear filled eyes to Klaus and he could see that she was angry now. "I just want to make sure you're okay."
"I'm fine," Violet stated. She didn't want to go through numerous experiments for doctors, trying to figure out what happened. "I'm not going to a hospital. It'll be fine." Klaus didn't think that was a good idea, but he could tell that Violet had made up her mind. And perhaps when she was calmer the next day, he could try to reason with her.
"Alright, then perhaps you should get some rest," Klaus offered. Violet's eyes grew panicked again.
"No! I don't want to be in that room! I don't want to be alone! I can't! Please, don't make me be alone!" Violet was babbling again.
"Alright, alright! I'll stay down here with you Violet. Sunny, you should go back to bed."
"No, I'll stay down here too," Sunny said. Klaus gave her a stern look. "Klaus, Violet needs us." Klaus sighed but nodded.
"Alright, but for tonight only." Sunny nodded and continued to comfort Violet. The next day, Violet seemed much calmer. This was a relief to Klaus and Sunny. Klaus dropped Sunny off at preschool (and Violet went with him, still afraid to be alone). When Violet and Klaus were alone, Klaus pressed the matter further.
"Violet, I really insist upon a visitto the hospital. The doctors will know much more than we do." Violet shook her head silently. Klaus sighed in defeat.
"Klaus…" Violet said suddenly. "I feel crazy." Tears were threatening to break through Violet's strong exterior. "Really, I do. And I'm afraid that if I go to a hospital, the doctor's will think I'm crazy too."
Klaus could tell that Violet was embarrassed. "Violet, you're far from crazy. And I'm sure the doctor's will be understanding and will be open to all possibilities, not just a mental illness. But please, Violet, for your own safety and health, let's go to a hospital."
Violet thought for a moment and then finally nodded. "Okay, let's go." Klaus smiled in relief and immediately took her to the closest hospital. After ten minutes in the waiting room, a tall, male doctor said he would see them. The doctor listened to Violet's story and then asked Klaus if he would talk with him in private.
"What is it?" Klaus inquired.
"Well, I'd like to give Violet an MRI to get a look at what's going on in her head."
"So you think it's mental then?" Klaus's throat was dry.
"Most likely. But I'd like her to take an MRI. Now, I can tell she's not in the best mental state right now, so I'm leaving it up to you. Do you want her to take an MRI?" Klaus slowly nodded and it was done.
Violet was hesitant when they got there, but Klaus assured her that it was alright. Klaus and the doctor walked out of the room. When Violet was alone, her heart began to race. The platform that she was lying on slowly entered what looked like a big tube. Violet felt very frightened while inside there and thought she heard a voice. But before she knew it, it was over.
The doctor once again wanted to speak with Klaus. "Klaus, from what I've heard and seen I can make the best diagnosis any doctor could make in this position. I think Violet has epilepsy. Epilepsy is—"
"A chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures," Klaus finished, who had already read about it in a mental health encyclopedia. "And what about the weird sensations she described?"
"Well, with all that brain activity, it's highly possible for people to perceive all sorts of strange things."
"And there is medication for this, right?" Klaus questioned.
"Yes, but Violet is eighteen, so we'll need her consent." Klaus nodded.
"I can convince her to take it," he said. The doctor nodded and eventually, with much hesitation, Violet reluctantly agreed to take the drugs.
"And I'd like to keep you here for a while, Violet," the doctor said. "Just to keep an eye on you." Violet solemnly nodded. Klaus looked at his watch and looked a bit startled.
"Oh my gosh!" he cried. "I have to pick up Sunny! We'll come visit tomorrow, Violet, alright?"
"O-okay," she stammered nervously. She still didn't want to be alone.
"Alright, Violet," the doctor said as Klaus ran out the door. "I'll come check up on you later, okay?" Violet nodded and the doctor left as well. Violet sat on the edge of the hospital bed, her legs dangling over the cold, tiled floor.
"I'm okay," Violet whispered. "I'm okay." After a few more minutes of silence, Violet thought she heard tapping against the window. She swallowed anxiously and silently made her way to the window. There was nothing there. She looked up to see the ominous, cloudy sky.
Then something strange happened. The clouds moved to a different shape. When lightning flashed, Violet saw a haunting skull. Her eyes grew wide with growing fear. Then the muscles on the backs of her legs tightened. She screamed and moaned in pain and fell to the floor. There was something whispering to her, but she couldn't make out the words. Then there was horrible laughter.
Her body shook with uncontrollable spasms. And Violet felt as if something else was shaking her body… controlling her body. She screamed and then her face contorted into a monstrous mask. She shook as the thing inside her took over. When it finally released her, she passed out, her muscles relaxing and her face returning to that normal, soft-featured face. The doctor arrived two minutes later and immediately called some nurses in.
