Thanx for the replies everyone! Turns out this fic is going to be longer than I thought. Better start now.
I could hear Violet let out a deep breath she had drawn in. Count Olaf thrust a paint bucket into my arms and a paintbrush into Violet's. The paint had an eerie glow, and it lit up Count Olaf. His eyes were now shinier than ever.
"Paint a large, wide circle. Start...NOW!" Olaf roared. Violet and I sprinted across the lawn, getting far away enough to talk aboutOlaf behind his back. I held out the paint can for Violet to dip the brush in,and said,"Violet, what are we really doing?"
"I-I don't know...I really don't know..." she said, and I nodded my head in agreement.I was truly lost. Maybe this wasn't count Olaf? Both of us painted a luminescent circle in silence, pondering what Coach Genghis was up to. I craned my neck around, half seeing if Klaus, Isadora, and Sunny were watching us, half seeing if Coach Genghis were following us. I saw neither.
When we returned to Coach Genghis and set down the paint, he had a very sly look in his eye. It made my breath stop. Was he hypnotizing me? I thought. Finally, Genghis pulled his gaze away."Run laps around thiscircle until I tell you to stop. Pace yourself, because I won't stop you for quite sometime. Ha ha ha!" he crowed, then barked,"NOW!" the same way as before.
Violet and I started slow, but my breath was already very fast and uneven. I had never liked P.E. in my old school. I managed to fake sick almost every day that we had to run the 1 mile relay. We started the second lap, then the third, then the fourth. After the ninteenth I was so exhausted that I lost count. I suddenly felt very hot. And tired. I wanted nothing more than to slip ice down my sweater and into my pants. I couldn't cool off, even with the night breeze blowing softly on my face. I slowed down, a lot.
"Duncan? Duncan, are you okay?" Violet asked, slowing herself to my pace.
"I-I d-don't know..."I replied groggily.(A/N: I don't know if that's a word.)
"What's wrong...?...Duncan?" she cried. I had stopped now.Genghis started to walk over to us.
"Too...hot...tired...losing sight.." I said, losing consiousness.
"Goodness, Duncan, you're fainting!" and she was right. Just after she said this, I keeled over.
kinda short, right? promise this next chapter will be good. Next chapter is half in Violet's POV and half in Duncan's POV.
