That's Not How the Story Goes (Dunclet & Kladora) On Hold

#6- V.F.D.

"What?"

"Do you think the people are going to hurt us?" I softly muttered out.

"That wouldn't make any sense!" He whispered/replied.

Klaus POV

Isadora is freaking out.

"The worst is that it could be is a teacher or something and we'd get in trouble for being down here, we should be fine." I responded.

Then she started to slightly shaking. Is She having a panic attack or something?

"But what if it's not fine ?"

"Then I'll protect you."

It was at this moment I wrapped my arms around her.

"No one will get you and we will be fine."

She held onto my arms like a distressed child on a roller coaster ride. She seems so stressed.

"But I never said bye to Duncan or Quigley, I never got to connect with Violet or Sunny that much. I never said I love you. I- holy shit I didn't mean to say that." She said.

"You love me?" I whispered.

"Maybe,"

"Maybe I do too."

I wish we didn't have to whisper as we said this. Or be confined in a cabinet. Also, I want to kill who has to jump into the room at this very moment.

I heard multiple plops into the room. I held Isadora tighter. That may have been more for me than for her.

" I see this dump hasn't changed since the day I left."

I knew that voice. You may think that would make me feel better, but not in the slightest.

Count Olaf is here with his troop. I'm going to die.

"Is-" she started.

I quickly clampedmy hand over her mouth. That made it even more noise than the word that began to come out of her mouth.

"Did you hear something?" Count Olaf asked his other associates.

"I Didn't hear anything Countie," One of the powdered face woman responded.

That's good.

"What is this place?" The hook-handed man said.

"This is where the Snickets and I used to work on Yearbooks. But eventually we got shut down." Count Olaf said.

"We should leave, this place gives back bad memories. I'll destroy it and this whole school once I finally contain the Baudelaire fortune."

"But we just got here." The bald man said.

"Come along now," Count Olaf said, completely ignoring the previous comment.

With that, Count Olaf grabber a chair from somewhere in the room and climbed up to the regular basement.

At least, that's what I think happened.

I assume the powdered face woman had trouble getting up to the level above since they were shorter, but they had to be up there since it was quiet once again.

"Do you think we're safe to leave?" I asked Isadora who was still on top of me.

"I believe so, but we should wait in case they are still lingering above us."

"Good idea."

An awkward silent fell over us until we fought back on it. Or attempted to.

"So..."
