The children awoke the next day to a rather horrible sound and feeling. Now, you may have awoke to a horrible sound and feeling before. I myself awoke this morning to the ghastly sound of my alarm clock and felt as though my head was going to pop off due to its annoyingly loud and high pitched ' BEEP BEEP!!'. You have more than likely awoken to the sound of yourself coughing and the feeling of being sick before. But all of these were miniscule, a word here meaning small, compared to what Lily, Tess, and the Baudelaires were awoken with. The noise was a crackle only too familiar the the children, and the feeling was terror and heat. Tess and Klaus awoke first, both being nearest the window. Tess rubbed her eyes blearly while Klaus put his glasses on, and both gasped at what they saw in unison. Fire. Right outside the window. Before they had time to awake the others, the window burst from heat with a loud CRACK. Violet, Lily, and Sunny all awoke with a start. Sunny promptly began to cry in terror, and Violet reached for her ribbon while she lept from the bed. When she looked to Lily, she couldent help but smile a little. She already had her brunette hair tied back in a light blue ribbon. She really had kept that habit. Violet picked up Sunny, who stopped crying in the comforting arms of her sister.

" Guys.. We have to get out of here.. NOW." Lily said, although it was really unnessisary, as they were all scurrying about picking up things they thought they might need. Tess had barged into the other room and put all of it into what was previously Sunny's bed. After about two more minutes, the back of the cabin caught fire, and the children were forced into leaving, not paying attention to what they were leaving. What they stepped into was nothing short of a full out inferno, flames greedily lapping up everything around them. Sunny whimpered loudly and buried her little face in Violet's shoulder, trying to sheild herself from the scorching heat. Everyone else instictivly coughed at the ashy air, sheilding their faces and squinting to see. Klaus was able to see the best out of the group, as he was wearing glasses, and scoped out a narrow pass.

" Come on! This way!!" He sputtered through the smoke. The three females ( not including Sunny, as she still had her head burried in Violets shoulder) nodded and scampered, a word here meaning ' walked quickly to with difficulty due to smoke', to the boy, who had since walked to the narrow pass not engulfed by raging flames. They all ran through, barely missing a falling, flaming tree. The ran as quickly as they could, only to find themselves at a cliff wall. Lily panted and stared up. Violet closed her eyes quickly, wracking her brain for an invention. Sunny finally looked up for a fresh breath of air, but hid her face again at the sight of the ever gaining flames. Klaus thought about anything he had read on forest fires, and Tess thought about past rock-climbing lessons she had taken.

" We're TRAPPED." Klaus said slowly, tears lacing his voice.
