The Open Ocean

Chapter 6

Violet looked around at her surroundings for something she could invent to get them to the mysterious island.

''Klaus? Could you go find some wood to make raft? Take Sunny too, she might come in handy while your looking.'' Violet asked Klaus.

''Of coarse, come along Sunny!'' Klaus said to the littlest and eldest Baudelaire.

Klaus tromped out of the wet and mushy sea weed and met up with his little sister by the nearby, leafless forest.

''I shouldn't have any trouble finding wood, all of the trees are bear'' Klaus said to his older sister.

''True, but don't get lost in there.'' Violet warned both of them.

Klaus then walked off, carrying Sunny and moving threw the broken tree branches on the ground, randomly picking up sturdy sticks.

Violet looked back at the small island, wondering what is causing the smoke (which has gotten darker since she last saw, but she didn't notice)

Fairly soon after, Klaus came back carrying long and short, sturdy sticks.

''Do you think this will be enough for a raft?'' Klaus asked Violet.

'' Umm…..I think so'' Violet said studying the amount of logs Klaus was holding.

Klaus laid the logs down and withdrew a long piece of sea weed out of his pocket.

''I thought this would be good to hold the raft together.'' Klaus said brightly

''Freeaam!'' Sunny said coming out of the forest with a huge leaf ten times her size in her hand.

''Good job Sunny! We can use that for a sail!'' Violet said to her baby sister.

Violet and Klaus gathered the wood, the long sea weed, and the giant leaf.

''Lets get started.'' Klaus said

Violet put all of the logs in a row and set aside two shorter sticks.

''We can use those to push off land and to row with'' Violet said

Soon after Sunny bit the sea weed in two so both sides of the raft would hold together and they shoved off, they were on their way to the smoking island, but as Klaus looked up toward the island he saw something in the smoke, something familiar, as soon as Klaus could blink his eyes he saw the letters form…….V.F.D.
