Chapter7- The Hostile Hospital AU
One shot The Quagmires stayed with the Baudelaire after the Village just something I came up with if Duncan had been there in the room with Violet after the Hall of records incident
Violet looked at her surroundings there were several cots about so she guessed it might have been a children's ward at one time Duncan lay on one of the beds next to her breathing deeply "Duncan are you ok?" she asked "I'm fine Violet it just feels weird" came the reply "What do you mean it feels weird?" Violet questioned turning her head to look at him.
"The whole thing does, I mean why all this fuss over an item like a sugar bowl but I'm scared as well I'm scared for Isadora if I die then she will have lost both Quigley and I…." Duncan was cut off in the middle of his rambling as Violet interrupted him "Isadora will be fine Duncan, Klaus would never let anything happen to her you've seen them together they're hopelessly in love with each other I mean you saw her kiss him just as I did that night" Violet said.
"I saw and wrote it down for future referencing in fact I wrote down quite a bit she talked about him a lot and written a couple of couplets for him I think" he let out a small laugh "I mean you never know when it will come in handy." Violet was quiet for a minute she thought back to the carving in the red herring statue D. Q+V.B "I have to admit something to you, I didn't want to back in the village because of Klaus but I saw what you carved in the statue." Duncan released a long breath and gave a small laugh Violet though she couldn't see his face guessed he was blushing a bit "yeah about that I've like you since I saw in Mr Remora's classroom on your first day, then when you stood up to Carmelita, I completely fell for you your strong, brave smart beautiful." Now it was Violet's turn to blush "Thank you I have to confess now because if he comes back, I may not be able to tell you. I like you too Duncan your sweet, kind, caring, funny and a good friend to those who need one I admire and love that about you"
"If we ever get out of this alive, I swear that someday I'll marry you" was Duncan's reply. The door opened "well well well that it sweet my Violet you must be a pretty one to have so many lads after you, you know if you had stayed my wife none of this needed to have happened" Count Olaf's voice filtered through the room as he walked over to the two teenagers "Your gross what kind of person marries a fourteen year old" said Duncan grossed out. "Yes, darling the boy is right that is so not in" came Esme Squalors voice.
"The kind of man who wants a large fortune to fall into his lap after his pretty young wife throws herself off the tower because she can't handle the life of being married to the most handsome man." The two white faced ladies placed masks over their faces
"You will never get away with this never we will always fight against you always" came Violets muffled voice through the mask the last thing she heard before the anaesthesia kicked was the sound of Olaf's vile laughter and Duncan's muffled cries as he too slipped into a deep sleep.
