The Open Ocean

Chapter 3

By: Drew Baudelaire

Klaus ran to the steering rope and slipped it out of the two holes that help it in place.

''I found a rope!'' Klaus shouted to Violet

''Good, good.........'' Violet said stroking her chin in thought.

''Aha!!'' Violet shouted out loud as she put her finger up in excitement.

''Our masks!!!'' Klaus said finishing Violet's sentence.

''Tie the rope the straps of our masks and we can tray and lower it into the river and try to scoop Sunny up in the masks'' Violet said using quick hands to tie the very thin rope around the mask head band.

''Alright'' Klaus said nodding to his sister seriously and taking his mask over to the rope.

As Klaus finished tying the rope on the ''mask band'' Violet slowly and carefully let the rope slip through her fingers and the masks into the water.

She lowered the rope until she knew it had went to the bottom of the grey waters.

''Ok, help me pull this up, I think I've got something!'' Violet said

Klaus then went to her aid and pulled it up.

As they pulled the rope out of the water, it was covered in a thin layer of ice.

Finally they pulled it up to the brim of the masks...........and there was Sunny curled up shivering.

Violet formed a very large smile and cried out ''Sunny!!!!''

After about a half an hour or so Sunny woke up with 3 layers of coats laying on her, her sharp teeth cutting tiny slits in her lips from the chattering of her teeth.
