A/N I'm ba-a-ack! I hoped you liked Chapter One. Chapter Two is better, I promise!
"I was only out there for five minutes." Quigley said, holding Violet by the shoulders and pushing her out a bit so he could breathe.
"Well, you frightened me." She said.
Klaus and Sunny looked at each other. "Aw…"
"Shut it." Violet said, shaking her head. "Do you want me to throw Isadora to the leeches, Klaus?"
Klaus went pale. He looked up at Quigley. Violet quickly noticed what she said. She covered her mouth with her hand.
"Sorry, Quigley. You know what I mean." Violet said, hanging her head low. The boat shook once more and everyone jumped slightly.
"Need land." Sunny said.
"Sunny, you know it'll be only about another day until we get to Boney Beach." Klaus cooed.
"Mmph." She mumbled.
Violet sat back down on a bed by herself. "We really need to sleep. Once we wake up, we should be close to shore."
Quigley nodded. "That invention of yours will only bring us to fifteen foot water, which will be just far enough to be hidden in the Foul Fog, but close enough to see the beach."
Violet nodded in agreement. She knew it would work. She pulled the covers to her chin and curled up in the bed, laying her head on the pillow. She closed her eyes and shivered slightly. She let out a small yawn. "Go to sleep."
Klaus picked up Sunny and carried her over to the other bed, which he had arranged blankets for her to snuggle in. Sunny squirmed until she was comfortable and then finally let her eyes close. Klaus was tucked neatly under his covers. He set the new glasses that Kit had gotten him by his bed and closed his own eyes.
Quigley, now the only one fully awake, snuggled in next to Violet and put one of his hands on Violet's arm. His eyes did not close. He thought about his siblings and his parents, now all lost somewhere. No, not lost. Just not here. He was almost sure that his siblings were waiting in the Hybrid Hotel just north of Boney Beach. He hoped he could finally find them and tell them once and for all that he was not dead.
When the morning sun shone through the tiny window, Sunny's eyes opened. "Land!" She might shriek, or "Jeeco!" which meant something along the lines of, "Look- there is a thin line of land just over there!" but she kept quiet but smiled.
The next ones to awaken were Violet and Quigley. Quigley hadn't really slept much, but was sure Violet had been okay, so he was as wide awake as ever.
"Mornin'." Quigley said, sitting up and stretching his arms. He pulled his pants up because they were starting to fall to his hips. He was becoming quite thin.
"Good Morning." Violet said, crawling out of bed and looking out of the window. "Land." She whispered.
Klaus was the next to wake up. "It's morning!" He said, jumping out of bed and whipping the door open. His shirt was now dry, as well as his pants. The deck, however, was still a bit damp and caused him to slip as he ran onto it. "Ow." He mumbled.
Violet put out her hand and helped her brother up. She turned toward the steering device of the boat, but Quigley had beaten her to it and was quickly starting up the engine. It hummed lightly and the boat moved through the fog.
Sunny walked onto the floor cautiously and sat on a cooler. She hummed to herself and smiled. "Land land land!" She sung.
Quigley smiled, steering the boat toward the shore. His smile faded as he began to cough. The fog had gotten thicker and soon the whole crew was coughing.
"Klaus- what's wrong?" Violet asked. If anybody knew about fog, it was Klaus.
"The fog is just very polluted. We have to get back inside!" He replied, picking up Sunny.
Violet gulped. She held her head. Quigley rushed over and picked Violet up, rushing into the cabin along with Klaus and Sunny. He realized that so many things were making them stay inside: the storm, the waves, the shark, the fog. He set Violet down and she smiled.
"Thank you." Violet said, wrapping her arms around Quigley's arm.
"No problem, sweetie." Quigley said, whispering the last word.
Sunny smiled, her four sharp teeth showing. The others weren't as sharp. Klaus dusted her off. They sat huddled and watched Violet and Quigley cuddle. It was obvious there was something connecting them, besides Violet's arm.
A/N: Thank you to all who reviewed! Next Chapter will come with the next review!
