Where are the Baudelaires?
This is my first fanfic... Please Review!
Disclaimer: I don't own A Series of Unfortunate Events, Lemony Snicket does.
"Volunteers… Fire… Department!" they cried, but the Baudelaires did not hear them.
(Isadora's point of view)
We shouted as loud as we can, but I don't think they heard us. I sat down and sighed. Why does life have to be this hard? I didn't even realize that I was crying hysterically until someone was shouting at me and shaking me back and forth so hard. Someone… I couldn't be sure, because I saw only shadows. It was tall and strong, like a man, so it couldn't have been my brother, Duncan. I was trying to find my brother when something hit me in the head and I became unconscious.
"Izzie! Isadora! Are you okay?" someone asked, who was probably in front of my face.
I woke up to find myself in a hot air balloon. There were several balloons tied to what seemed to be a main balloon, and in the main balloon, I saw a man. It looked just like the shadow I saw-tall and strong.
"Izzie! Listen to me!" the same person shouted again.
I whipped my head to face him and relaxed at the sight of seeing my brother. "What happened?" I asked, suddenly aware that I had forgotten my surroundings.
"Seriously? You really don't remember anything?" my brother, Duncan asked.
"Just hurry up and tell me what happened!" I cried impatiently.
I was probably crying again because this time, my brother was silent and walked over to where I was sitting and held me close. "I'm sorry, Izzie. I didn't know you were frustrated." He said gently.
I cried and sobbed in his arms, wanting to let go of reality. I actually do remember where I was, but I just can't believe it. I'm really sorry to tell you, but I'm really sensitive and very often one of my brothers, Quigley or Duncan will have to be patient and calm me down.
"Dun-can Quagmire." That tall strong man uttered. It's like he's trying to get used to his name. "Can you tell me more about yourselves? I wasn't properly introduced to you yet."
"You're Hector, right?" my brother asked.
The tall strong man nodded. So that man is Hector. Suddenly, it hit me. He was the Baudelaires' guardian in the Village of Fowl Devotees. I wrote couplets, a type of rhyming poem with two lines and sent it by crow to a tree by his house- Nevermore Tree.
"What happened to the Baudelaires?" I asked suddenly, without even realizing that I'm talking.
Hector's face fell. "I tried to save them, but they didn't manage to climb on this self-sustaining hot air mobile home."
I felt startling pain and anger in every word he uttered. "Where are the Baudelaires? Why didn't you save them?" I felt angry, angry at him for not being a responsible guardian.
"Izzie!" Duncan shushed me. "It's not completely his fault, if you recall that day. We were the ones who climbed up first. We are responsible for our actions too."
I wanted to object, but I'm just too tired. I let out an exasperated sigh. Why does my brother always out-say me? He always have a reason and I'm always defeated. Life is so not fair. I longed to see Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire again; especially Klaus. In my opinion, he's kinda cute. Inside my heart, I smiled, but now I regretted the smile and I hope you'll never know why.
In my heart you will stay,
But every time you slip away.
When will I ever see the Baudelaires again?
There ends the first chapter of my first fanfic and please review! Hope you liked it!
