Chapter Four: The Hole in the Wall
"Well now what?" Klaus said, with Violet peering over his shoulder into the hole.
"In." Sunny answered, pointing to the hole.
"We propbably shouldn't just go in there, I mean we don't know what to expect. Ah, what the hey!" he said pushing himself onto the dresser.
"Are you sure you want to go in there?" Violet said, looking just a little nervous.
"I think you and I should go in there." he said pointing to his sister and then himself.
"Sunny should keep watch, I know we sorta live here now but you never know when you'll run into Count Olaf or Mr. Poe for that matter."
"Ok, Sunny, if anyone comes call us." Violet said knelling down in front of her sister, "If you don't think we can here you, come follow us." She gave her a hug and stood up. Klaus doing the same.
"Well, here goes nothing." Klaus said. He took one last look at the room and crawled through the hole.
Once inside and moved to the side so Violet could get through. The ceilings were about sixty feet high and were made of hard, cold, stone. There was enough room for about six or seven people to stand next to each other across the tunnel. Klaus squinted into the dim light in front of them to see if anyone or anything for that matter, was there. When he was sure the coast was clear, he started to walk toward the light, Violet close behind him. There footsteps echoed eerily on the moist floor.
"I wonder where this tunnel goes to." Violet said, her voice echoing above the sound of there footsteps.
"I wish I knew. I don't think I've ever read anything about caves hidden behind mirrors with dim lights that are impossible to see through." Klaus said being oddly specific.
"Very funny." Violet replied sarcastically.
Klaus sighed. "This cave is dark enough without you helping it."
Violet turned around. She had been walking in front of Klaus blocking the light.
"Well sorrreee! At least I was the one being blinded by the light, not you." Violet said, tossing her hair behind her shoulder and resuming her place next to her brother.
"Ok, lets not start fighting. The last thing we want to do is yelling and fighting in a place we've never heard of or been in." Klaus said, somewhat apologetically.
"They continued to walk down the tunnel. The light becoming a little bit brighter with every step they took. Within twenty minutes of there entering of the cave, they found the source of the light. In the middle of the tunnel, they found what resembled a large torch. It stood on three poles. They criss-crossed at the top and went in different directions to make a place for a bowl of fire to sit.
"I wonder what this is." Klaus said examining the torch closely.
"It's obviously some type of touch genius. I thought you were the smart one." Violet said jokingly.
"Oh well thanks a lot." he said slapping his sister gently.
