thanks for the replies! here you go, another chapter! also, another question: what's RR and what's OC? (like someone says VioletOC)
"Oh, yes...." Olaf said in a menacing voice as he stared down at Violet. I tried not to imagine what shefelt. "This is exactly what I need."
He took a step toward me. I could feel my legs numbing. "Which two orphans of you freakish groups of orphans is the oldest?" Isadora pushed me forward, whereas Violet reluctantly stepped forward. There definately were pros and cons tothis:
Pro: Iwas with Violet.
Con: I was also with Count Olaf.
"You special little orphans get to run Special Orphan Running Exercises, or S.O.R.E.'s for short. You start today. I'll give you five minutes to get ready. Then you are to report to the front lawn." He put one hand on Violet's shoulder and one on mine. Then he drew us both into a very smelly imbrace. Violet and I looked at each other in horror, as we were smothered against Count Olaf. Then he pushed us away and left, slamming the door closed behind him. I turned around and stared at Klaus and Isadora. Sunny was behind Klaus's ankle, grasping it tightly in fear.
"We can't let you go alone." Klaus said. Isadora nodded solemnly.
"we're going to have to. If Olaf sees you with us, he'll take us all." I said. Then I looked back at Violet. She had a ribbon tied in her hair. I just had to smile a bit.
"Klaus, Sunny, Isadora," Violet said,"you can sneak out with us and spy on Olaf. If he tries anything, you have the right to come out and attack him." They nodded in agreement.
"Wait." Violet whispered, and we all looked at her, urging her to go on. "He took me and Duncan. We're the oldest. he's planning to get both the Baudelaire fortune and the Quagmire sapphires!"
"Oh, no..." I muttered. "This is terrible. ButI think our plan will work. It's probably been three minutes or so, and we still need time to walk over. Come on, Violet." I started walking, but shedidn't follow me. I looked back.
"Klaus, if I don't come back, take good care ofSunny." she said. She kissed the two younger Baudelaires on the forehead and turned to me."I'm ready." she said.
The walk to the front lawn was silent. We were both probably thinking what ' Coach Genghis ' was up to. Our shadows approached his on the lawn.
"Well, well, well. if it isn't the two orphans who are about to run S.O.R.E.'s!" He leaned forward, inspecting us. He walked to the back of us and ran his long, bony fingers along our backs. Violet's hand wrapped around my wrist. "Ah," Genghis announced, "I see we have two lovebirds." At this, Violet let go of my wrist. We were both too terrified to protest.
"Don't worry, orphans. All I want you to do is run laps." he said. It felt as if a question had been answered: I think Violet and I will be okay after all.
How wrong I was.
Next chapter soon, I promise!
