Well, no one will review, and I'm getting bored, so I'm just going to give you the third chapter now because I can't wait any longer. So, here you go.

NOTE: I STILL don't own ASOUE, and I also don't own Danny Phantom or any of Butch Hartman's characters. If I did, I would be unbelievably rich, but no, I'm just a poor little middle-schooler who writes fictional stories. Pity me. I have a sign right now that says "Will work for reviews." Don't leave me out in the cold. Please?

"Please wait here," Sidney said. "I will go get your room ready." He walked down a large hall, leaving the children alone in what appeared to be a large grand room. Klaus turned to Violet and said in a slightly groggy voice, "Are you okay?" "Yes," Violet replied, "But my head hurts a little. I think I may have hit my head on the doorjamb on the way in." "Mine too," Klaus agreed. "Headache," Sunny said, holding her head in pain. Could it have been possible that they had all hit their heads, or was it something completely different? It all seemed too fishy, but they did have a place to stay for the night, so Klaus put the idea out of his head for now as the siblings glanced around the room.

The large room had sweeping staircases and a large ornate clock was set in between them, showing that the time was nine o' clock. Last they remembered, it was two in the afternoon, then they had stowed away in Count Olaf's car for roughly five hours. After that, they had gotten lost for two more hours, and now they were here, surrounded by spooky paintings that seemed to watch their every move and cobweb-laden suits of armor. Violet became unnerved, meaning "very frightened", Klaus was terrified, and Sunny was scared. "I'm back!" Sidney's voice sounded as he walked into the room. "Your room is ready." He led them up one of the staircases and into a bedroom with two beds and a large crib, along with a planning desk and a large shelf of books, both made out of what appeared to be mahogany. "Mahogchew!" Sunny shrieked, crawling over to one of the shelves. Violet walked over to the desk and was delighted to find several pads of graph paper, perfect for planning inventions on. Klaus went up to the book shelf and picked out several books on supernatural beings. Sidney watched them for a few moments, then smiled and closed the door.

Violet's thoughts were interrupted by something fluffy hitting her in the head. She looked behind her and saw Klaus holding a large pillow. "Pillow fight," he said, smacking her in the face with the pillow. Violet ran for cover and grabbed the pillow off her bed. She swung at Klaus's leg, hitting Sunny in the head on accident. "Sowannafight?" Sunny said slyly, grabbing the pillow out of her crib. She swung wildly, trying to hit anyone she could. This went on for quite some time until the pillows started to lose feathers and the siblings decided it was time for bed. Violet set Sunny in her crib, where Sunny began to chew on her blankets. Klaus started to read more of his books as Violet walked over to the mirror. As she untied the piece of her dress she had been using as a ribbon, she thought she noticed something behind her. She turned abruptly, a word which here means "Turned around quickly to find out what was behind her," but nothing was there. Shaking her head as if she were being silly, she turned to face the mirror. As soon as she glanced into it, however, she got the biggest scare of her life.

Beside her in the mirror was the reflection of a strangely-dressed boy with white hair and luminous lime green eyes. Violet glanced beside her, but saw nothing. She turned back to the mirror with wide eyes as the strange boy winked at her. She screamed, waking both of her siblings. Klaus ran over to her, yelling "Violet, are you all right?" "I-I don't know," she responded. "Violet, you look like you've seen a ghost," Klaus said, using a phrase which, of course, has nothing to do with ghosts. This expression simply means "Are you all right? You look like you've been attacked by something very frightening." Of course, if Violet had been in the presence of a specter, she would have ran away screaming, for obvious reasons. "I-I think I did," Violet said, her voice shaking slightly, "I saw something in the mirror beside me. There was a boy in it. He winked at me and smiled."

Klaus quickly became suspicious and ran over to the large pile of books he had taken off the shelf. "Klaus, this is no time to read!" Violet said in disbelief as he quickly flipped through the pages. "I think I really may have seen a ghost!" "Exactly," Klaus said. "That's what I'm trying to find out….aha!" He flipped through the chapter quickly, then shut the book and said "What happened exactly?" "Well, I was over at the mirror," Violet said, "and I noticed someone in the mirror next to me. I looked over to where he should have been, but nothing was there. Then I looked back at the mirror and he winked at me and smiled! Klaus, I think this mansion may be haunted!" "Calm down, Vi," Klaus said, trying to get his sister to calm down. "Tell me, did it feel any colder over there than it does over here?" "Yes," Violet said, her voice becoming shaky all over again. "Then your suspicions may be correct," Klaus said grimly. "This mansion is haunted." "Uni!" Sunny added. "She's right, we have to tell Sidney," Violet agreed as the siblings walked over to the door. Klaus tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "It's locked!" Violet said in shock. "But why would Sidney lock us in our room?" "Olaf!" Sunny shouted in fear. "What if Sunny is right?" Violet asked. "What if Sidney is really Olaf in disguise?" This thought made all three children nervous. They bolted, a word which here means "ran wildly around the room searching for an alternate way out" rather than "used rivets to hold something down", searching for any way out of the room. Klaus became so flustered that he didn't watch where he was going and ran into the bookshelf, knocking down a book titled Boxes: a history. Suddenly, the shelf slid open with a rough scraping sound to reveal a dim shaft.

The three orphans stood stock still, and stared down the long, dimly-lit passageway. "Wow," they said unanimously. The word "unanimously" means "as one", and we can also use the word "unanimously" to describe the way they went down the tunnel. The shelf scraped closed behind them, making them jump. They easily got over this and kept walking. Occasionally, Sunny got tired, so she would tug at the pants leg of her brother or her sister's dress, and they would know that Sunny needed a lift and would carry her for a while. After what seemed like hours, the children came to a large brick wall decorated with several strange pictures. "Klaus," Violet asked, "Why are there scribbles carved into this wall?" Klaus took a torch from the wall and held it near the writing. "These are runes," he said. "I've read about them before, so I know what this message says. 'Those who enter this place shall fall victim to the evil forces within, and shall haunt this place forevermore'." "But who would doom someone to such a fate?" Violet asked. Klaus turned to face her, a look of grim concern on his face. "Someone who wants to trap people here," he responded, "and I think that we're the next victims. Sidney wanted us to come in here. It was a trap, and we fell for it." "How?" Sunny asked. Klaus studied the wall some more. He noticed a swirl pattern surrounded by runes and concluded, "Hypnotism. Sidney's a vampire."

Suddenly, a scraping sound was heard, and the siblings looked at the other walls. "They have spikes!" Klaus said. "We'll be killed!" The walls slowly inched towards the frightened youngsters as Violet thought as hard as she could. "Sunny, you have to bite a hole in the wall, the one with the runes on it," Violet said. "Make sure it's big enough for all of us to get through." Sunny started chomping as fast as she could, but the walls were closing in at an alarming rate. "Klaus, I need you to blow out the torch!" Violet yelled. "What? Are you crazy!" Klaus asked. "Just do it!" Violet shouted. Klaus quickly blew the torch out and handed it to Violet, who jammed it in between two of the approaching spikes to prevent the wall from advancing any further. "That'll only hold for so long," Violet said. "Sunny, you'd better hurry!" "Velocity!" Sunny agreed, biting faster. The wooden torch was beginning to crack when Sunny said "Done!" Violet and Klaus quickly scrambled through it as the torch splintered and the walls scraped shut. "We're safe," Klaus said, glancing around the dim room. "Correction," Sidney's voice echoed. "You were safe." He stepped into the room, dressed in a black cape. He smiled evilly, his sharp teeth glinting as maliciously as his eyes. "Looks like I have dinner guests." "We know what you're planning," Klaus said, "and it's not going to work this time!" "Oh dear," Sidney said sarcastically, "looks like I've been caught red-handed." He hit a switch, causing a small hole in the wall to open. Three thin black bands shot out of it and hit the children dead-on. "These are tracking devices!" Violet said in horror as a door opened on the other side of the room. Sidney smiled evilly and said "Run."

The children ran as fast as they could through the opposite door as it slid shut behind them. There was no way out now, and there never was. Suddenly, two more doors slid shut, trapping each sibling in their own space. But it wasn't this or the fact that a vampire was hunting them down like animals. It was the fact that they were trapped here until morning with no way to escape.
