Chapter 1: Isadora's Visions

Duncan…

Beautiful morning, peaceful, quiet, the air is fresh just at the edge of a river, in a big orphanage.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!.!.!.!.!...

'Groan' a sound was miraculously heard from a mess of blankets (sarcastic).

"Isadora! Wake up, your alarm is wailing!
I snapped out of my little nap on the breakfast table as I heard Quigley's voice floating up to my sister. Theannoying noise of an extremely loud alarm clock stopped. Thank goodness! I thought she would never wake up (like I did). I looked down at the cereal on my bowl and started twirling it round and round.

"Are you eating that, Duncan?" Our dorm head, Mrs. Umbrage, asked me.

I nodded my head and watch Isadora thunder down the stairs, agitated for having been wakening from her peaceful sleep.

"Good morning, Isy!" Quigley said in mock cheerfulness.

"Shut up," Isadora murmured. She poured herself orange juice and filled her bowl with cereal. She started shoveling huge amounts of cereal in her mouth as she watched the birds outside our window. We were located in the first building of the orphanage, 3rd floor. Each floor of the 3 buildings of this place has a dining room, living room, bathroom and 4 bedrooms. Each building was called a dorm.

"Eat slowly, Isadora," our dorm head said. Quigley and I chuckled quietly. Unfortunately, our dorm head, Minerva Umbrage, decided to eat breakfast with us today. Isy said nothing. She was very quiet, which only means one thing. She wanted to tell us something, something she could not mention in front of the head. That was one thing about this orphanage, strictness rules its every corners. Sometimes, you couldn't even have a moment alone. Finally, I finished eating.

"Who is in charge of cleaning the plates today, Quagmires?" Mrs. Umbrage asked, her long thin eyebrows cocked up.

Isadora and Quigley looked at me pointedly. Mrs. Um (as I called her) gave me a look that said that she was instructing me to do it now. I flashed everyone a sarcastic smile. What could be better than doing chores early in the morning? I slumped over to the sink, completely not in the mood to do something like this. Suddenly, the speaker in the room perked up. "Attention, Mrs. Umbrage, please proceed to building 1, immediately." Mrs. Um stood up and headed for the elevator. "Finish that, Duncan, then all of you get ready for classes. Diane is already there." I had to roll my eyes at those words. Anyways, Diane is the pretty occupant of the 4th room of this floor.

This is completely a typical day for the Quagmire triplets. Sometimes, I even wonder if these things had ever happened to us, if interesting things have happened to us. I have completely no memory of what happened to me and my siblings before we came to this place. The furthest I could remember is waking up in a car of a stranger, with the only knowledge of what are names are. The next thing I knew, we were dropped off the Victor Ferdinand's without as much as a simple explanation. I wiped all the plates dry and sat down on the sofa opposite to my brother. I looked straight out the window in front of me, lost in my thoughts. Suddenly, without warning, a face of a girl flashed on the glass. It was like a reflection of someone…in a dream. I shook my head vigorously. These small visions had been happening lately. It was always the same girl. She had long, shoulder-length black hair. Sometimes, I saw her hair half braided, sometimes just put down, and sometimes tied back in a ribbon. I've wondered a million times who could she be.

Isadora sited herself down next to me.

"I have something to tell you," she said excitedly, looking around to see if someone could hear them.

"What did you see this time, Isy?" Quigley asked.

I hoped this was more interesting than her last dream (which consists of her in huge hot air balloon). Except from making couplets, another of Isy's hobbies was telling us her dreams. She didn't do it before, but ever since her dreams become a bit queer, she started telling them to us.

"I've never dreamed it before. It was weird. First, it started with a cage. I was inside it, with you, Duncan. No, I am not joking. We were very young from what I saw. Then, just out of the darkness, 3 figures emerge."

This was getting really good. She continued…

"At first, I got all cold and scared. I moved towards Duncan more. Then I suddenly warmed up. I don't know why, but that is what I felt in the dream. I saw a silhouette of a boy with glasses, a baby, and a girl with shoulder-length hair."

I decided to interrupt her.

"Wait, did you see her face? The girl?"

Shockingly, she didn't give me an irritated look. She usually gave me one when I interrupt her. Instead, she shook her head.

"No, but I'm coming to that part. Everything changed, suddenly. This time it was very dark but I could hear water droplets that seemed to come from the ceiling. I was about to open my mouth and say something when bright light filled the whole place. I saw a glimpse of a girl and the next thing I know we were in bright sunlight. Then everything changed, I was in the hot air balloon. I was on the floor sobbing, and I could feel you, Duncan, by my side. There was also another man, but it was not Quigley."

There was an awkward silence. Quigley looked very thoughtful. What could this mean? Is this a fragment of the past?

"I've been thinking," Quigley started slowly. "I haven't been in some of your dreams. The balloon, the school, I was not there. If these dreams were memories, how come I was not there?"

Isadora shook her head. "I dunno." It was a few moments later before the silence was broken.

"ALL CHILDREN, PLEASE REPORT TO THE AUDITORIUM FOR THE MORNING CONCERT. ALL CHILDREN…"

All of us sighed. "How could I forget the morning concert? Today's Thursday isn't it?"

"Yes, and we better get down before Mrs. Umbrage's blood boils up." We all stood up and entered the elevator. Just before I left, I looked back to check our room. For a second, I saw a picture of 3 identical kids, sitting around the table (where we sat a few moments ago) laughing with 2 grown ups in front of them.

"Duncan, come on!" Isadora said impatiently. I shook my head and clicked the button for the ground floor. If these visions mean anything, I would like to find out what they mean.

Note: So, how is it? In this chapter it seems like it's a Violet/Duncan, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Send me reviews and answers (V/D or V/Q?).
