AN UNKNOWN WHIMPERING SOUND CAUSED KLAUS TO WAKE, his blue eyes fluttering open. He expected to see rays of sunlight shining through the blinds of the filthy motel window, but was only met with darkness. It took him only a second to realize that the whimpering sound, was coming from the other bed, where Violet slept.
With furrowed eyebrows, he sat up in the squeaky bed and turned to look at his soulmate, confusion becoming worry when he saw her tossing and turning in her sleep with a pained expression as whimpers and incoherent words fell from her lips.
Klaus strained his ears, using his advanced hearing to try and form a sentence from the words she sleepily muttered. "No. No, I'm sorry. It won't happening again..." He was finally able to make out.
"I'm sorry, dad, please don't hurt me." She quietly uttered. Thoughts flooded Klaus' head as he tried to think of any other reasons she could be having a nightmare of her father hurting her, other than the most obvious that he refused to believe.
He refused to believe that Violet's father had hurt her the way his father hurt him so many times when he was a human. Klaus clenched his jaw at the thought of Violet, his little flower, laying defenseless on the ground as her father kicked and punched.
The hybrid was strayed from his thoughts as a louder whimper emitted from her mouth as tears began to slowly drop down her face uncontrollably, but she was still asleep.
Klaus stood from the bed, walking over to hers and sitting on the edge with one leg bent on the bed and the other hanging off. His placed his hands on her arm and began to gently shake her. "Violet, sweetheart wake up." He urged. When she still did not wake, he shook her a bit more harshly. "Flower, please." Klaus begged desperately.
Finally, Violet gasped awake, quickly sitting up and looking around frantically as she panted with tears still streaming down her face. "Nik?" She whimpered when her eyes landed on him.
"Yes, little flower, I'm here." He nodded. Klaus was quick to pull her into his arms when her soft crying became sobbing as her shoulders shook violently.
The Original pulled her closer into his chest, shushing her and placing a soft kiss on her head. "Would you like to tell me about your dream?" He asked when she began to calm down. Violet could only shake her head as a pathetic noise of protest emitted from her throat.
The soulmates sat there until her breathy became steady again, Klaus then pulling away slightly as he took her face in his hands and wiped the few stay tears away with his thumbs. "Are you okay, flower?"
