Thanks for all the reviews you have given me (even thought if they are few). Special thanks to Arisa Aihara.
Chapter 2
"Aunt Josephine!" The three Baudelaire exclaimed.
"How did you get here?" Violet said.
"Well, it scares me to think of it," Aunt Josephine.
"Tell us," Klaus said.
"Well, I barely escaped from the leeches; the water was so cold that I vomited, so the banana I ate was not in my body any more, however my two life jackets didn't let me move well so I took them of and, then I swam a shore." Aunt Josephine said, "But let's walk, so I get done my duty to take you with some people that wanted to meet you at the largest skylight of the forest."
The Baudelaire orphans started to walk through a gloomy forest in Normandy, which name I don't want to remember. And as they walked through that gloomy they remembered how unfortunate was their lives, how they never had done anything bad to anyone. There was a silent, nostalgic moment until Klaus felt a tear falling off his cheek, but he didn't knew that a big surprise was about to change his mood.
"Here we are," Aunt Josephine said. Klaus's sad face suddenly turned into a grin.
"Isadora!" Klaus shouted hugging Isadora very strongly. I can't express with words how Klaus felt when he almost melted on Isadora's arms. After the hugs between the recently found friends Aunt Josephine leaved leaving the orphans walking alone in the gloomy forest.
"Does anyone of you know the story of the sugar bowl?" Violet asked, breaking the silence.
"Well, no one really knows the actual stuff that is in the sugar bowl; the only thing I know is that is very powerful and V.F.D. wants to save it and the other side of the schism want to destroy it at once for they fear it even if it could be good for them because..."Duncan said.
"Ssshhhh, they could be any were." Quigley cut him out.
"Who?" Violet asked.
"Well you know…" Duncan said.
"Charlotte and Raul, also known as the man with beard but no hair and the woman with hair but no beard." Isadora finished the sentence, then Duncan almost jumped of fear and Quigley let out big gasp.
"How can you say their names Isadora?" Quigley said.
"You know we will fear them more if we fear their names." Klaus commented.
"Yes, but we're never going to find the sugar bowl if we keep talking so much we need to know were it is!" Violet said.
"But, unfortunately we would need a lot of research and the nearest library is in the city with the mob trying to arrest you Baudelaire," Duncan pointed out.
"Eesht," Sunny said which probably meant something along the lines of "Maybe in the sheet Hector gave you could be found some information about it."
"My sister means that maybe in the sheet Hector gave you could be found some information about it." Klaus suddenly traduced. "Let me check in my commonplace book, though… There is a code I do not know Do anyone of you knows?" Klaus showed the coded characters at the back of the sheet hector gave them.
"I know," Quigley said. "But it is going to take me some time to break it." The children, Sat in the floor silently while Quigley tried to break the code with his commonplace book.
"So how was your time with Hector in the self-sustaining hot air balloon mobile home, Isadora?" Klaus Baudelaire asked.
"It was fine I missed you, Violet and little Sunny a lot… Everything was all right until the eagles attacked." Isadora said.
"Yes, we saw those eagles at Mortmain Mountains, with your brother." Klaus said. "I think Violet and Quigley have something for each other, changing the subject."
"Oh, Duncan is going be upset about it." Isadora said.
"Why?" Klaus asked.
"He really loved her, he even asked me to write some sonnets to her and impress her when I come back." Isadora said.
"Sonnets? I thought you write couplets," Klaus said.
"Well I have been working." Isadora said.
"And speaking about crushes-" Klaus didn't finished.
"Give me the sheet orphan." The children jumped in fear as they heard that already known raspy voice of Olaf.
"Which sheet?" Violet Baudelaire dissimulated.
"Give it to me you orphan, you know which I am not playing." Olaf threatened.
"No, it is ours," Duncan exclaimed.
"I have no other solution then." Olaf said taking Violet and pointing the harpoon gun of his in which Esmé Squalor had broken the ladder when the Baudelaire orphans were climbing to get into Hector's hot air self-sustaining mobile balloon home, and the same gun that Olaf used to kill Dewey Dénouement, know was threatening Violet's life.
"No, wait." Duncan said taking the sheet off Quigley's hand. "Here it is, know leave Violet."
"Thanks," Count Olaf said.
"You thought rightly, now here is your girlfriend," Olaf said handing Violet to Duncan.
"She is not my girlfriend" Duncan shouted, flushing.
"Whatever," Olaf exclaimed.
"Are you alright, Violet?" Duncan said hugging Violet.
"Yes I am." Violet said.
"Ok, But know how are we going to get to the sugar bowl," Quigley said.
"Didn't you write it in your common place book?" Duncan asked.
"Yes, But I didn't finished encoding it; I only know we have to go a city called Baghdad." Quigley muttered. "But I don't know were it is."
"That is easy, I t is the capital city of the Ottoman Empire." Klaus said.
"Do you mean, the Muslim empire, the one that has conquered the Balsamic Peninsula?" Isadora asked.
"Yes." Klaus said. "Quigley can you make a route to Baghdad?"
"Ok," Quigley said as he looked at his commonplace book for a plan sphere. After few minutes of looking at his common place book he finally showed the rote.
"We're at Paris, so first we're heeding to Vienna, then to Budapest, then to Athens, then to Istanbul and finally to Baghdad." Quigley indicated.
"But how?" Violet asked.
"Did I mention the Helicopter in which Quigley rescued us is still here?" Isadora said.
"Great!" Sunny exclaimed.
And like that the children headed to Vienna not knowing the surprises that were coming to their journey.
"We're here." Quigley said.
"Are you the Baudelaire orphans and the Quagmire triplets?" A mysterious guy said.
"Yes." Isadora muttered.
"I got a message for you from F&F," The incognito man said.
"Who are F&F?" Isadora asked.
"I am no aloud to tell you here at the city, but you will find out as soon as you get to their shelter." The man said.
"Shelter?" Isadora asked.
"Yes, they are quite-like refugees, because the emperor declared them enemies of Austro-Hungarian Empire." The man muttered.
"Ok, thanks then" Isadora said. As she opened the letter which said something like this:
Volunteers:
We know you are or will be heading to Baghdad
Anytime soon and we know this should be a stopping point
, so we will expect you at the cathedral at about 5:00pm.
F&F.
"Well it's already 4:45 so we better start moving," Duncan said.
The children got to the cathedral safety, and then Klaus felt a guilt sensation on his stomach as he heard a familiar voice saying:
"Hello Klaus, still remember me?" A girl with triangular glasses said with a hook handed man .
so do you like it, then tell if you want VQ or VD. And IK or FK... Review!
