On to -cough-the extra long to make up for my absence -cough- chapter seven!! |
The hot air mobile drew closer, and Duncan, Isadora, and Hector's screams of terror were quite hearable at this point. All three were frantic, and Isadora sounded like she was crying. Lily, Tess, Violet, and Klaus ( Sunny was a tad too short ) exchanged glances. They silently took places along the edge while Sunny jumped around, trying to attract the group aboves attention. Surely enough, the Quagmires and Hector noticed her, and got quiet.
" OKAY!! QUAGMIRES! HECTOR!!! YOU HAVE TO JUMP WHEN WE TELL YOU TO!!!" Violet cried. Isadora, who was now quite visible, got a stricken look. Duncan looked frightened, yet calm, and Hector quite frankly looked more terrified than Duncan and Isadora put together. So much for cool, composed adults. It was up to the children now...
" IT'S THE ONLY WAY! YOU HAVE TO TRUST US!!" Klaus added. Tess and Lily stayed silent, desiding it was best to let the Baudelaires handle this. They KNEW the people up there... Apparently quite well, by the way they were acting.
Meanwhile...
" Crazy, the lot!! They're LOONEYS!! They want us to JUMP??! It's suicide I tell you!! Suicide!!" Hector cried... alas, being in the air for so long had gotten to him... The Quagmires rolled their eyes.
"It's nuts, but If Violet came up with it, we have to trust it..." Duncan said slowly.
" Yeah. Lets go for it.. at least we have a shot that way." Isadora said, nodding with her brother, they stared out, wondering who the two new girls were below, but not really CARING. All they knew was that they needed to get out of this thing soon... or else they were going to go, as Isadora had put it, kaboom. The two triplets clutched one another's hands for support and comfort, their notebooks tucked under their arms.
"ALRIGHT BAUDELAIRES!!" Isadora called down.
" WE'RE READY WHEN YOU ARE!!" Duncan finished. The balloon was forever gaining towards the mountain where their friends were. Another Balloon popped, shocking the twho children, causing them to cry out. Their side as now sagging.
Back on the ground, all the youngsters let out small screams too FOR the Quagmires and Hector... Although Hector coulden't be seen anymore as he had huddled into a corner, rocking back and forth like a small child. Yup.. being up in the air had really messed with the poor man's head... Lily stared up. " A bit more.. a bit moreee.." she murmered, greyish blue gaze fixed on the object above like a missle. They had to get this right. Or else they'd jump too far away and fall to their dooms. But if they waited to long, they'd hit a side of the mountain and die THAT way. Not to mention, they had to be careful too. For if that machine rammed into the side of the mountain and they weren't a fairly good way away or behind something, THEY would die, or be injured at the least. All of the children were focused. Duncan and Isadora were straining to see and hear them... and the children below were all watching intently, ready to tell them to jump at any moment. Violet, Lily, Tess, and Klaus glanced to one another after two more minutes had passed, all nodding.
" JUMP!!" they all screetched in unison, a word here meaning together, thus making them VERY loud. Duncan and Isadora parted their hands, smiling at one another an scrambling to the rim of their basket. Isadora's eyes widened in fear. It was a long way down.
" D.. Duncan!! I'm scared!!" She whispered. Her brother too, looked terrified.
" C'mon Isadora.. we HAVE to do this!!" he countered, collecting all his courage. " One...two... three!" Both triplets lept from the machine, landing with hard thuds in the spaces between Klaus and Violet and Tess and Lily. They all helped the Quagmires up.
" Hector!!" Sunny said frantically.
" He's gone nuts." Duncan explained. " I think it happened when our first balloon popped. They werent too durable, and after a while they wore down too much for use to repair them."
"..uh... GUYS..." Tess whimpered, pointing towards the machine, which was getting closer to the side with every passing second. Lily grasped Violet and Klaus by the wrists and started to drag them along forcefully towards the nearest cave. Tess picked up Sunny quickly and motioned for the Quagmires to follow. They all hurrided in, the darkness engulfing them all. The all huddled together, the Baudelaires and Quagmires chattering happily, Tess and Lily intertwining their arms and putting the sides of their heads together in a nervous manor. Then, with a large heave of the ground below them :

It rumbled the very mountain, and all seven youngsters could look over and see the inferno rushing by just outside the mouth of their makeshift shelter. A forceful gust of hot air pushed against all of them, scalding their faces... Terror swept over them, and all of them had the thoughts ' Oh dear, I'm going to DIE.' and 'My ears are going to EXPLODE!'. As I write this, I can only imagine these things... Especially as me and Tess are currently locked in a room that is filling with water... My... I certainly wish I had worn my swimsuit and brought my water wingies with me today...
*************
A/N: Yeah.. it was terrible.. but it WAS longer than most of my other chapters, so you have to give me credit!! Again.. too lazy to spell check.. DEAL with it... oh yeah.. please reveiw!! You can say how much you hate me for being so lazy and everything!!
