Takes place while they're at Whitmore Academy. Begin!

~Isadora's POV

We've only been here a few weeks at this new school so far, and it was already a wonderful home. It was a huge place, the seven of us got to share a dorm, the teachers were all mostly nice; with a few minor exceptions, but no place is perfect, and we were all together like a big family. The one thing I cannot tolerate under any circumstances is the weather outside that was keeping me awake right now. I heard another loud bang of thunder and saw lightning flash through my bedroom window.

I hate storms.

Everybody tells me that I'm dumb for being afraid of thunderstorms, well mostly Quigley to be honest. He thinks my fear of thunder and lightning is stupid. But he's scared of Barney the Dinosaur so I think I win. I'm scared of a lot of things but thunderstorms are probably one of my worst fears. It's been that way ever since I was a little girl. I'm 14 years old, I should be over this! Well, I suppose it's not entirely the end of the world; it did take Duncan until he was 14 to get over his fear of the dark. I wonder if he told Violet about that yet; they do sleep in the same room after all.

I heard more thunder outside and clutched my stuffed animal to my chest and sat up. I glanced over at my roommate Fiona who was sound asleep in her bed. I guess living on a submarine most all her life conditioned her to be a heavy sleeper as the loud storm didn't affect her at all. I sighed and jumped when another bit of lightning flashed outside. There had to be something that I could do to help me calm down. A thought dropped into my head. I wanted to ignore this idea. This idea would get me in so much trouble. But right now it was all I could think of.

I looked at my stuffed Pooh bear, which was a gift from Klaus, and mentally asked, "Should I do it?"

...I'm talking to my stuffed animals. I've lost my damn mind. Fuck it, I don't care if I get in trouble I need to sleep somehow.

I very carefully got out of bed while keeping an eye on Fiona, to ensure that she wouldn't wake up and catch what I was about to do. Once I was standing, I tiptoed across the room and opened our bedroom door as quietly as possible. I checked to make sure the hallway was clear before stepping out.

While walking past Violet and Duncan's door I actually heard them talking softly and I could hear Violet start giggling. I do not want to know. I continued down the hall until I reached Klaus and Quigley's room. Once I, very slowly, opened the door and saw they were both still asleep I proceeded with my plan.

I carefully climbed into Klaus' bed and shook him awake. He couldn't see that well because his glasses were on the table, but he gave me a concerned look when his eyes opened.

Obviously not wanting to wake Quigley, he leaned down and whispered in my ear as low as possible, "Izzie, what's wrong?"

I pouted a bit at him, hoping to appeal to his love for me, and softly replied, "Can I sleep with you? I'm scared of the storm..." As I was saying this, another loud clap of thunder roared outside and I quickly curled up into his chest for safety.

I looked up at him with pleading eyes and he gave me a warm smile. Instead of responding, he pulled the blankets over me and got into a more comfortable position with his arm around me. I happily snuggled into his warm chest.

"Thank you," I whispered.

I didn't even care that if my brothers caught us like this they'd probably kill Klaus. Eh, I'll handle it when morning comes. After all, we weren't doing anything bad. If Duncan wants to complain about it, I'll just ask him what he and Violet were doing in their room tonight. I know Violet isn't stupid enough to do anything bad at her age, but it'll still get my brother to shut up. And if Quigley gets upset, I can always bring up the fact that everyone in this dorm has walked in on him and Fiona making out at some point, yes even innocent little Sunny. So that'll definitely keep him quiet. I felt my eyes get heavy and smiled up at my handsome boyfriend. It didn't take long for me to eventually fall asleep now that I'm in his arms.

Despite how things in our past might have gone, we were here together now. And I know that no matter what: Klaus will always be there to help me feel safe.

~The End!

This one is super short, but I guess that's ok! Bye!
