Chapter 2
"Spirits in the night"
'Where in the world am I?' was the first thought Duncan Quagmire had when he woke up the following morning. He looked around confused at first but then remembered that he must have fallen asleep talking to his siblings and friends last night. He looked down to see Isadora sleeping peacefully, her head resting on Duncan's shoulder. On the other side of the sofa was his younger brother Quigley, who was sleeping with his mouth slightly open.
'How I missed him.'
On Duncan's left were two armchairs. One was occupied with a sleeping Violet, who had Sunny sprawled on her lap who seemed to be in a very deep and peaceful sleep, seeing as she had a kind of smile on her face. In the other armchair slept Klaus, his glasses on the very bridge of his nose.
Duncan glanced at the giant clock displayed in the lobby only to see it was 5 am, it was no wonder people weren't walking and running around the lobby, they were all asleep.
'I wonder if I should wake everyone up, must be more comfortable to sleep in actual beds than armchairs.'
"Isadora..Isadora." He shaked his sister gently, trying not to startle her.
"Yes?" she answered quietly, her eyes still not opened.
"We fell asleep in the lobby. We should head up to our room, it'll be much more comfortable."
"We have no room, remember?" Isadora asked finally opening her eyes and looking at her brother.
'Oh' Duncan was slightly embarrassed he hadn't realized earlier.
"You do." Klaus said all of a sudden, he must've woken up when Duncan was speaking to Isadora "Kit gave me a key to your room, it's right next to ours, here." He reached out in his back pocket and took out a key. Isadora took it and replied with a quick 'Thank you'.
"You should go to sleep, I'll wake up the others." Duncan told the two.
"Good luck waking up Sunny and Violet." Klaus told Duncan as he walked past him, leaving Duncan standing there confused wondering why he would need luck.
"Sunny? Violet? Wake up!" he tried now for the fifth time, but no response, both of them were still sound asleep and Violet only tightened her grasp on Sunny. Finally he reached down to take Sunny of off Violet but as soon as he touched Sunny she bit him…. In her sleep!
"OUCH!"
"Can you be more quiet, please?" a voice interrupted and Duncan turned to see his brother now sprawled on the sofa, his eyes closed and his mouth in a frown.
'I forgot you were here..' Duncan thought.
"Quigley!"
"What?" he answered annoyed.
"Get up, now!"
"Why must you torture me?" he asked dramatically as he got up and waddled over to Duncan's side.
"Help me wake them up so we can go to sleep again? It'll be much more comfortable in our rooms." Duncan pleaded. Quigley sighed and reached down to pick up Sunny, but before Duncan can warn him, Sunny bit Quigley.
"OUCH! She bit me!" Quigley cried and Duncan couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you doing?" Violet spoke, Quigley must've woken her with his cry of pain.
"Trying to wake you up so we can go to our rooms and sleep peacefully?" Duncan said.
"Well thank you, for waking me. If I had slept a moment more in that chair I wouldn't be able to walk, it's very uncomfortable." Violet stood and adjusted Sunny in her arms.
"The three of them, with Sunny asleep in Violet's arms, walked to the elevator, Violet pressed the button to the floor and the waited.
"Where are Klaus and Isadora?" she asked the two brothers.
"In a broom closet somewhere?" Quigley joked, Violet smiled at him but Duncan glared straight at him.
"They went to their own separate rooms." Duncan answered not long after that the elevator stopped and they started walking down the hall, Violet was leading since neither one of the Quagmires knew what room was theirs. When they reached their own rooms Violet feed them goodbye and entered the room to find Klaus already asleep on one of the beds. She put down Sunny in the smallest bee quietly, trying not to wake Klaus, he was a very light sleeper.
"ISADORA!"
"Quit it! You'll wake up the whole hotel!" Duncan shushed his brother. They were standing in front of their hotel room, trying to get in. Isadora must've locked the door and fallen asleep.
"It's not my fault our sister locked us out of our own room!" Quigley said, clearly annoyed. He always did get a little cranky when he didn't get enough sleep.
"What is going on?" Violet came out of the room, dressed in a blue nightgown, she looked at her two friends, confused as though why they were standing in the middle of the hallway.
"We didn't wake you did we?" Duncan asked her.
"We just saw each other five minutes ago, I didn't even get a chance to lay down on my bed." She answered. "Now, why are you not in your room?"
"Because Isadora locked the door." Quigley told her softly. "Can you pick the lock?"
Violet nodded and bent down in front of the door. She took out a bobby pins from her hair and started picking the lock, after about a minute she stood up and faced them. "The key is on the inside of the door. I can still open it but I'll need some tools and it'll take longer. Why don't you just sleep in our room?"
"Yes-"
"Are you sure? We wouldn't want to intrude…" Duncan interrupted his brother's eager response.
"Of course not. I'll bunk with Sunny, and you two can share my bed."
"Thank you so much Violet, you've saved us from sleeping on the hotel floor." Quigley gave her a smile, which Violet more than happy returned. The Quagmire brothers followed Violet into her room, she showed them which bed they would be sleeping in and finally climbed in with Sunny.
Quigley fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, but Duncan could not stop thinking about the smile his brother had shared with Violet.
This shorter than I expected but nvm, I'll make up for it, and if anyone has ideas on how to continue the story, please message me cause I really don't know what to write next.
