Chapter 7: Remembering, Pacing and Planning

Klaus Baudelaire…

My whole body felt numb. It was like walking in a dream which was neither good nor bad. All I know was that I couldn't feel anything, even if there were hundreds of people bumping and rushing past me in that crowded area. The scene that just happened was very utterly resembles an exciting vivid dream.

I was just walking in the crowded streets of the fair, trying to look past the hundreds of heads walking and talking around me. Suddenly, somebody bumped into my shoulder hard. It was a bit difficult for me to turn around, so I just didn't mind them. Anyways I had been bumped a lot ever since my sisters and I came into this crazy fair. Then I heard my name.

"Klaus", it was pretty weird since I could barely recognize the voice yet it sounded familiar. I turned around.

My eyes went as wide as a large saucepan…alright, not that big, I exaggerated. A few meters away stood a person I didn't expect to see for a while. Though she looked a bit different, there was no mistaking it. It was Isadora Quagmire. That's not the only thing that was surprising, she called my name! I thought they were supposed to forget everything. I stared at her at a frozen surprise and she stared back at me. After I got over the shock I started to walk towards her, maybe I can try and talk to her. But the crowd became more violent, causing her to move back away from me. Then, she turned around and started walking away. That just proved my theory…she doesn't remember me. But why did she say my name? I started to move towards her again calling out for her to wait. Iwas slowly losingsight of her.I guess she didn't hear me because of all the noise. Finally, she disappeared into crowd.

Back to the present, which was me walking away from the area.

Later on I found my sisters, or rather, my sisters found me.

"Klaus, where have you been?" Violet asked. "This place is a mess, we should go back—"

She stopped talking when she saw the weird expression on my face.

"Klaus?" Sunny said.

"What's wrong, Klaus?" Violet asked searching my face for an answer. A sudden noise brought me back to reality. I shook my head roughly and grabbed violet by the shoulders. I guess the sudden change in movement shocked both of my siblings.

"I saw one of them, I saw her, Violet," I said looking into my sister's eyes.

She shook my hands off her shoulders.

"Who did you see?"

For a minute I didn't answer. I wanted to relax first. "Isadora Quagmire".

Sunny gasped, and this time it was Violet who grabbed me.

"What! Where did you see her? Did she see you? What happened?"

"Hey, whoa, wait for minute," I said. The questions were too much to answer simultaneously. "I saw her in the crowd, a few meters from here." Sunny started craning her head to see, "Where?"

I smiled at her, "Even if you are tall enough, you wouldn't be able to see her. She went away and I lost sight of her."

"Let's talk somewhere else, I can't hear over this racket," Violet said, covering her ears as someone's luggage of gigantic metal pots crashed to the ground.

She led us into a much less crowded zone. After she made sure that there is still some noise to drown out our conversation, she said "This is better. So, did she see you?"

"She did, in fact she called my name," I explained.

Violet and Sunny looked surprise. Violet opened her mouth to say something.

"Before you say anything else," I said, stopping her. "I don't think she remembered me. Maybe it's just a sudden flash. She looked at me in an odd way at first, and then she turned around and left."

There was a pause. Violet started pacing thoughtfully. She started tying her hair with a ribbon. It was a good sign that she was thinking.

"Are you sure it's Isadora?"

"I'm positive. Her hair is a bit longer but I know it's her."

There was another pause.

"Is she the only one you saw? How about the boys?"

"She's the only one, but maybe Duncan and Quigley were around there too."

Once again there was another pause.

"How did she act when she saw you again?"

"Her face had both a surprised and an odd look I could not explain."

You can guess what happened next. Yes, there was a pause.

"What's with these pauses and the pacing?"

"I'm sorry," Violet said. "It's just that I…"

Violet stopped pacing and at the same time something clicked in my head.

"Wait," we both said at the same time.

"Confuse," Sunny said looking from me to Violet.

"What is it?" Violet asked me. I decided to be a bit straight forward rather than just give her the chance to say her thoughts first.

"This means that something in her mind is shifting, meaning…"I started.

"Your name just suddenly popped out of her mouth meaning she is starting to remember, especially when she saw you. She did see you right?"

"I guess, or else why would she call me."

"Surprised reaction!" Sunny exclaimed.

"Right you are, Sunny. She didn't know why she said Klaus's name so she was surprised..."

"And she looked oddly at me because she found me familiar yet didn't recognize who I was."

We all looked at each other, hopefully. If the Quagmires could remember us, then there's a bigger chance that they'll come and find us…or maybe we'll find them.

"It's time we take necessary actions," Violet said, tightening her ribbon "We'll go back to the trailer and search. We're not sure if they remember much but I'm sure at one thing."

"What?" Sunny and I asked.

"They are in this town and we'll find them."
