Another Unfortunate Event

The Bauldinare children were distraught with their predicament. They had travelled near and far to find out whether one of their parents had survived and to also find the mystery of VFD. They were now trapped into the stronghold of Olaf's ship. He had found them wandering along the bank of the stricken stream and taken them to his ship to torture them until he could figure out a plan to get to their fortune.

If you didn't already know the Bauldinare children then you should get to know them now. Violet, the eldest, was a tall young lady. She was an inventor, and you knew when she was thinking up an invention when she tied her long brown hair up in a ribbon she kept in her pocket. This was usually the time that she foiled Olaf's plans with one of her curious inventions. Klaus was the middle child who was the bookworm amongst the lot. He could remember everything that he read and was very sad that he didn't get to read all of the books in what used to be his parents library. And then there was Sunny, the youngest, who liked to bite things. She is so cute, although Olaf didn't think so.

Anyway, back to the story, Olaf was pacing in his study. The two powder faced ladies and the hook handed man were sitting at a table nearby. "What shall I do with these children this time?" he asked. Lady #1 and Lady #2 stood up together and circled him, "we know what to do!" they whispered. "What are we going to do?" the hook handed man exclaimed, "what?" But they wouldn't let him hear. They never let him hear their plans anymore, since he nearly ran off with the Bauldinare and his little sister. But now that Olaf had killed his sister and his dad, the hook handed man had no other family and he felt he could be trusted again.

Klaus was also pacing too. He could not sit still for a second. It was partially because he was anxious and mostly because the Lachrymose Leeches had bitten a hole in one of his butt cheeks and was still too sore to sit on. Violet was sitting in the corner with her hands over her face, and Sunny was lying on her stomach in the middle of the room chewing half-heartedly on a piece of old rope. There was nothing much else in the room except for a steel box with a handle. Violet had already tried to open the box but it was sealed shut too tightly to open without assistance. But she had just thought of something. When she had saw Sunny with the rope her smart young brain had snapped into action. She tied her hair up with her ribbon. Klaus looked up. He could see the idea forming in her head. She took the rope off Sunny and with the help of Klaus, Tied the rope around the handle. Then she tied the rope around the window frame and she and Klaus pushed the box the opposite direction. As the wood around the window was rotting through, it ripped straight out and they could all smell the fresh salt air. But they didn't have much time.

Meanwhile, Olaf was getting ready to perform his latest scheme which the powder faced ladies thought up. Suddenly he felt a jerk and the ship started to buckle and tip. The stern raised into the air and everyone screamed, except the Bauldinares who had floated their way to freedom, on the metal crate. When they arrived at shore they borrowed a crow bar from a local and opened the crate. Inside was a water proof map of where Olaf kept the Bauldinare children's parents. There was also diarys of everything Olaf had done.

As for Olaf, some say he drowned and others think he got away. But that's another Unfortunate event for next time.
