WARNING: DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THE WORST. PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME FOR I HAVE GIVEN YOU PLENTY OF WARNING FOR THE TRAGEDY AHEAD.
Alrighty, let us get back to the very upsetting chapter. This is going to be very sad!
For about five months, we stayed on the Great Unknown. We were happy. Everyone was. We were safe too. Until, he found us.
Captain Shaider had docked the submarine on an island. Isadora, Violet, Sunny, Quigley, Duncan, and I had gone for a walk on its beach. We splashed each other in the water, dug our feet into the sand, and just had fun. When it happened, Violet, Quigley, Duncan, and Sunny were playing in the water and Isadora and I were talking. She was starting to fall asleep again. A big black cloud was coming towards us. It moved closer, fast. Duncan saw it and grabbed Sunny and Isadora's hands. He ran back to the submarine and pushed them inside. Quigley grabbed Violet's hand and gestured for me to run back too. That's when I realized what it was. It was a big flock of eagles. We all ran faster to the sub. It was too late though. Someone had already gotten inside.
Captain Shaider stood in the control room. The person was in front of him with his back to us. Two eagles sat on his shoulders. Captain Shaider glanced at us quickly. "I told you to get off my submarine," he said. "I recommend you do it."
"I'm not getting off this submarine until I get what I want," the person said. It was a man. He had a bald head and a beard. His aura: menace. Quigley, Violet, and I automatically recognized him and gestured to the others to run to their rooms as fast as they could. Before we could do anything though, the man turned around. "Hello, children." We did not reply. "It is very rude not to reply to a greeting. I'm going to have to fix that."
"No," Captain Shaider said. "No."
"Yes. Yes. I'm taking two of the children and you can't stop me." He ran at us and grabbed Violet and Isadora. He ran out of the submarine and Quigley and I were the fastest to follow him.
"Stop!" we both yelled. When we got outside, there were eagles sitting on every part of the beach. They were everywhere. The man stood in the center of them all with a struggling Violet and Isadora. Violet was trying to pull away frantically while Isadora tried slowly and sheepishly. She was fading. On a normal day, she would be asleep by now. Her medicine made her sleep. She didn't have a choice about it. You could tell she was trying very hard not to pass out.
"Quigley! Klaus!" Violet yelled.
"Guys," Isadora said quietly. "Help." Her eyelids were falling and Quigley and I looked at each other. She was going to fall.
"Isadora!" We looked back at them and saw Isadora sitting on the ground. Her eyes were closed.
"We have to get them," I said.
"How? Look at all these birds. We aren't going to be able to get to them," Quigley said.
"We just have to try," Duncan said from behind us. We nodded.
"You stay here Sunny," Captain Shaider said from behind Duncan. We all looked at Sunny who was looking worriedly at Violet and Isadora. "That man might just be worse to little ladies like yourself." Sunny went him.
"Okay," I said. "Let's go." We ran through the birds. They flew up and tried to attack us. We kept running though. When we reached where the man had been, he wasn't there. We looked around frantically as the eagles cleared away. Then, we saw them. The man had Isadora and Violet in a cage. A cage that Duncan and I knew to be the one that was at the bottom of the elevator shaft on Dark Avenue. Inside of it, Violet had Isadora leaning against her as she put a ribbon in her hair to get it out of her eyes. We all could tell she was thinking of a way to get out. The man laughed from the top of the cage.
"Hello little brats," he said.
"Let them go!" I yelled.
"Yeah. Like I'll do that." The man blew a whistle and jumped down from the cage. The eagles began to circle the cage. They landed on it and flapped their wings. They seemed to put all their strength into it. The next thing that happened scared us all. The cage lifted off the ground and started to carry the cage over the water. The eagles struggled carrying the heavy cage. The eagles on the man's shoulders picked him up and carried him off as well. Duncan, Quigley, and I quickly grabbed onto the bottom of the cage as it was being lifted into the air. Violet crawled unsteadily over to our hands. Isadora just lay on the cold metal bars limply. I was hanging over the endless ocean water next to her. I moved a little so that I was touching her hand. She sighed. My arms started to throb and I could see it in Duncan and Quigley's eyes as well.
My feet touched the water and I looked up. The cage was dropping. The weight must've been too much for the eagles to handle. The man wasn't paying any attention. The eagles squawked and dropped us. The cage hit the cold water and we all drew in last minute breaths. Isadora didn't get to. She woke up when the water hit her. We let go of the cage and floated to the side of it where the door was. Violet took a pin out of Isadora's hair and handed it to Quigley. He knew what to do with it. He took the pin and stuck it in the cage's lock. He moved it around and the lock popped open.
Violet quickly swam out and Quigley and Duncan took her up. The cage was sinking and Isadora wasn't getting out. I looked at her and she was trying to. She pointed to her foot. I looked at it as my lungs burned. It was stuck in between one of the bars. I swam into the cage and took her hands. I saw Duncan and Quigley come back underwater. They quickly swam back to us. It was hard though because we kept sinking. I couldn't breathe. My eyesight was blurring too. I couldn't imagine what was going on for Isadora considering that she got no breath at all before we went under. I tried frantically to free her foot. I had to hang onto one of the bars because if I let go, I wouldn't be able to get back to the cage. When I couldn't get her foot free, she pulled me up to her face. She hugged me and then kissed me. She pried my hands off the bars and let me go. Our lips parted as I floated upward.
"ISADORA!" I yelled. I bet only bubbles came out. She looked at me and I could tell she was crying her heart out. My mind was fading fast. I felt someone grab me and pull me up. I could see a figure trying so hard to swim after the cage.
"Klaus! Open your eyes!" My eyes slowly opened and I awoke to Isadora's beautiful face.
"Isadora?"
"Klaus." She sighed. I looked around. We were on a beach. A beach with the whitest sand ever. It had no trees or anything. Just sand and ocean.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"Nowhere," she said, her face becoming sad. "Klaus you need to wake up."
"I am awake."
"No you aren't. You're still sleeping."
"Isadora I don't understand."
"Klaus," she sobbed. A tear ran down her cheek and I went to wipe it away. Something odd happened instead. My hand went right through her.
"What the-" I looked at her. "Isadora?" She sobbed and cried more.
"I'm so sorry Klaus," she whispered. I just looked at her more confused. She saw my look. "Don't you remember? I-I... I let you go." My eyes widened as I remembered.
"But-but I saw someone go after you."
"Yes. It was Quigley. He swam as fast as he could to catch up with me, and he made it. He was always the best and fastest swimmer of us triplets. He barely reached the cage. When he did, he saw me stuck to it. He tried to free me like you did. We were really deep in the water. Maybe a little too deep. He was able to get me out. He brought me back above the water. He and Duncan panicked though. I didn't even realized what had happened until I saw myself. I was really pale and I wasn't moving.
Violet had found a small coastal shelf or something. They walked onto it. You were already there but you were passed out. You were extremely pale too, but you were breathing. They set me down next to you and then I was here."
"Y-you're not... you know?" I stuttered. I couldn't say it.
"I know you definitely don't want to believe it but I am. Klaus, I am dead."
"No. No! You can't be!" I yelled. Tears slid down each of our faces uncontrollably. I just wanted to wipe hers away.
"I am, Klaus. You have to accept it."
"No! Definitely no." She moved closer to me. She put her hand on my cheek and pressed her lips to mine. I put my hand on her cheek but not enough to go through her. She separated our lips.
"I love you Klaus." Her face started to fade. "Tell Quigley and Duncan I'm sorry."
"Isadora? Isadora wait!"
"Don't forget me."
"Isadora!"
"You have to wake up. WAKE UP!" My eyes opened and I saw Violet. "Oh thank goodness!" She hugged me.
"Violet?"
"You wouldn't wake up. I was so worried."
"Violet? W-where's Isadora?" She separated our hug and looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"Isadora? Isadora please," I heard someone sob. I turned my head and saw Quigley and Duncan standing over a pale body.
I jumped up and pushed my way through them. My heart stopped as I fell to my knees. I put my head on the ground below me and cried my heart out into it. For in front of me, lie the beautiful, unmoving, unbreathing, pale body of my love, Isadora Quagmire.
Don't say I didn't warn you... This is not the last chapter. There is one more and I think it has a happier ending then this one. Please review and enjoy the next chapter whenever I have the chance to post it.
