Beatrice had woken up at 4:30am to go down that passage again and see where it led to, because she had came up a ladder that was probably only half way down the passage. There was more passage way past the ladder, and this time she was going to solve the mystery. All she had with her were a few biscuits and a flash-light. She had the sugar bowl with her too. But you and I know that she hasn't got the real sugar bowl and Esme' has, and it's with great despair that I tell you this. Beatrice continued to walk for the next few hours until she saw a left turning that she hadn't noticed before. She also saw a right turning. She walked into the left one and realised it went uphill. Her legs were aching but she needed to find something, anything.

After 2 more hours of a very tiresome walk Beatrice came to a large Hole in the wall. She looked behind her for security Camera's. There weren't any so she walked through, only to find herself back in the hotel. She saw a man who looked like the twin of the evil man with Shiny eyes. She knew it wasn't him so she walked up to him and in her loudest voice she spoke "Excuse me," the man looked down "Are you lost?" Beatrice forced a smile "I walked sown a passageway in my house and I ended up here." She told him the truth. The man stopped and looked at her "You must be very tired, I suggest you go down there and get some sleep, make sure you're up for evening meal at 6" The man bid her farewell then she walked down the corridor and into a huge bedroom.

She only saw one other person in this room, but she realised it wasn't night, so she lie down on her bed and fell to sleep. About 3 hours later she felt someone twisting her. "Who's that?" She said opening her eyes. She saw a boy, not much older than herself. He looked at her then told her that the evening meal was ready. Beatrice was delighted to see a grand table set in the room with more than 300 people sat at it. But she wasn't delighted to see the evil man with shiny eyes, who she saw at once because the table had room for three people at the head of it, they were the many with shiny eyes, the man who looked like him but didn't have shiny eyes, and a very tall man with a beard and no hair. Beatrice ate her meal in silence even though the boy who woke her up was next to her. Once the meal was over Beatrice stood up and walked back down the corridor. "Stop" she heard someone shout and she turned around to see who it was "What?" she asked the boy. "Don't you want pudding?" he asked her "No, I have gone off of my food." The boy smiled "You were fine earlier" Beatrice looked right at him "I saw someone" she told him then continued advancing towards the bedroom. "That isn't the kid's bedroom" He pointed out to Beatrice. "Where is the kid's bedroom then?" The boy led her to the kid's bedroom.

"Thanks" Beatrice muttered when she got there "My name is Lemony, Lemony Snicket, you might have met my brother Jacques, high leader of VFD, he was talking to you before you came to bed" Beatrice looked at her feet "There is one question" She looked right at him. Lemony smiled "What would that be?" Beatrice looked at her feet this time "Were the three at the table high leaders of VFD?" Lemony nodded then told her "My brother, Jacques is high leader, then the man with no hair but a beard, we don not call him by his name and the third leader Count Olaf, Jacques doesn't like him, and neither do I" Beatrice smiled "Neither do I." Lemony knew there was more to this girl than met the eye. "You know Count Olaf?" Beatrice didn't personally know him but she knew what he did. "He set fire to our house, and then went in, in attempts to steal the sugar bowl. He didn't get it though because I still have it and he kidnapped my two sisters." Lemony considered "VFD train children, but they most certainly don't kill their parents." Beatrice wondered for a moment "So what do we do?" Lemony smiled as though he'd been waiting all his life for this. "We tell my brother" Beatrice looked bedazzled "Now?" she asked "Now" Lemony agreed and led her back to the grand dining room, many heads turned as they walked up the corridor. Steph and Emma looked astonished. Beatrice looked at them, but she didn't know who they were because of the powder smeared all over their faces. Olaf turned to him "Did little Snicket loose his blanket" lemony snarled and walked up to Jacques. He told her all about the fire and everything Olaf had done to Beatrice's family, which included throwing her mother into a bookcase that swivelled round and led to a pit of lions. Jacques turned around to discover Olaf, the man who they did not name and another quarter of VFD running away down a hilltop. Jacques sighed. "Fellow VFD members, we are no longer safe. Find some cars. We are going to the Valley Of Four draughts" at that Jacques walked away, an ambitious leader, with Lemony following him. Beatrice followed behind Lemony, and at that moment she realised that the people with powder all over their faces were Steph and Emma. And they had gone with the bad guys
