Ok, well here's my second chapter. This story is still pointless to wright because it's boring, but here it is anyway.
Chapter Two: Home Mr. Poe led them down an alleyway until they got to a door. When Mr. Poe opened it, there was a short hallway and then another door. When Violet opened the second door, she was surprised to find what looked like a small hotel room. In the back left corner of the room, was a large double bed with a wooden dresser and mirror next to it. In the furthest corner from them, there was a door. Behind which, they assumed, there was a bathroom.
To the right of the door was a smaller bed. It looked as though it had been made to fit someone Sunny's size. Violet walked in slowly, followed closely by Klaus and Sunny. Mr. Poe watched them as the looked around the room.
"You should be quite comfortable here." Mr. Poe said, breaking the silence that had fallen when Violet opened the door, "I'll come back later when you are all settled down."
Yeah right, thought Klaus mentally rolling his eyes at him.
"Ok, thank you very much Mr. Poe." Violet replied as he left the room, shut the door hard behind him.
"You know he's not coming back, right?" Klaus said.
"Yeah, sadly i do, so this is home. I guess we should get comfortable" Violet said disappointed.
"I don't think we should stay here." Klaus said plopping himself down on the double bed.
"Why not?"
"Because. Mr. Poe wasn't acting normal, I mean normal for Mr. Poe." Klaus replied.
"Klaus!" Violet scolded, then she giggled.
"But really." Klaus continued, "Didn't you notice a difference in how he was talking? Mr. Poe sounded drunk, he never sounds that way."
"You sound like your more worried about Mr. Poe then wether we should stay here or not." Violet joked, "but I did notice a difference. I just hope he's right about this place." she added a little more seriously.
Meanwhile, Sunny had been searching through the draws in the dresser. She pulled on Violets pants and said "Quagmire!" and held up a piece of paper.
Violet opened it and read what was written on it aloud.
If you have found yourself here, be careful and wise,
Beware of other "people" abnormal in size.
A/N: I'm the worst poetry writer in the history of the world! Sorry about the lameness.
"Isadora!! She must have been here! And what does she mean by people abnormal in size?" Violet exclaimed reading and rereading the poem, trying to make sense of it.
"I don't know." Klaus said quietly, reading over Violets shoulder, "I just don't know"

Violet and Klaus woke up early the next morning. Violet looked over to the smaller bed only to find that Sunny was still sleeping.
Klaus propped himself up on his pillow and said, "I was thinking about that poem last night."
"Me too." Violet admitted, "But I don't get it. Did you come up with anything?"
"Well, only that this," he paused for a second, "creature, is probably smaller than us because there are not many humans or animals that are bigger than us that we should be careful of, at least in this situation."
"Yeah, maybe it's a dwarf or something you wouldn't normally think of." Violet said.
Klaus suddenly saw a mental image of them being attacked by cows. He shook his head violently to make it go away.
"What happened?" Violet said looking at him awkwardly.
"Nothing, I just saw us being attacked by cows. My mind is taking things too literally since we got separated from the Quagmires." he said, starring at the floor.
"I really wish we knew where they were so that they could tell us what we were supposed to be watching out for."
"Well they obviously know that we're here or they wouldn't have left that couplet in the draw."
A/N: Does anyone remember if those poems Isadora writes are called couplets ? I'm too lazy to go look.
"I know, it feels so strange that we're looking for them and they probably know it, but yet they won't come out from hiding."
"I'm sure they have a good reason though. They were just as glad to see us as we were to see them all those times we found them or they found us. It wouldn't be like Isadora and Ducan to ignore us."
"I know, but we really shouldn't be thinking about that. We need to find out what she meant in the poem." Violet said.
"Ok, what do you have in mind?"
"Nothing, but I think we should stay here. I mean, where else could we go?"
"Nowhere, but what if something bad happens?! What if Olaf happens to find us?! What about V.F.D?! What if we run into more coincidences with it?!"
"Wow! Slow down Klaus! I know we've had a couple of close calls but I'm sure we could fight Olaf or anyone else off again." Violet said. She was trying to convince her brother that everything would be okay and that nothing bad would happen, but she wasn't quite sure she believed that herself.
"I know we could," Klaus said quietly, "but I really don't want to. I mean why can't we just be normal kids, with a normal life."
"I know. I feel the same way, and I'm sure Sunny does too." Violet said, putting a comforting arm around her brothers shoulders.

Okay, that's chapter two. There is really nothing going on in the story yet, but there will be soon.
I know I used the words "I know", "yeah", and "well" to start too much of the dialog. If you have any good ideas to change that please tell me. Also, I am the worst speller on the history of this planet, so please don't mind it. I tried my best and even spell check doesn't help. (It's still a wonder to me how I got straight "A's" in English. Oh well. Please review.
