A series of confusing events

The wings part 3

Chapter 6~ The wings pt. 3

Due to her magnificent dragonfly wings, she did not splatter on the rocks below. Violet stayed in the air, balanced, as she dove down to the place Jacquelyn had told her was safe. It was a low rock porch, hidden in the shadow of this cave building. She looked up and was just able to spot three goon-looking VFD'ers grabbing the women who just tried to push her. The WWHBNB had been captured. Their plan had been a success. Suddenly, Violet heard heavy breathing from behind her. She quickly turned, expecting to see some sort of villain. But it wasn't a villain. It was a Quagmire...

"Violet! I'm so glad you're safe." He said

"Oh my god! You're alive!" She hugged him tight, she had sincerely thought that after over a year of not hearing about the Quagmire triplets from VFD or any other news source, they were dead.

"Indeed, after we got separated, a woman named Jacquelyn was at the bottom of the slope, and she brought me in a taxi to Duncan and Isadora on the air home. Then we had about a day of air time before it got attacked, but Jermome saved us on his yacht." Quigley said. Violet mentally noted to ask Jacquelyn why she had not told the Baudeliars that the Quagmires were alive.

"You guys found each other! What happened to their Hot Air Mobile Home?" Violet asked, asked, remembering the treacherous day she, Klaus, and Sunny had to watch Duncan and Isadora float off into the distance while they were fighting off angry crow people.

"I think that that's a story I'll let them tell you when this is all over."

"When will this all be over?" Violet asked. Quigley was about to answer, but then the man Jacquelyn had pointed out as the Double Agent, Thursday was his name, came out onto the porch.

"Good Job Quigleforth. Violet, your note has been sent to your brother. We need confirmation from you so that he and Isadora can leave the ballroom."

"Yes, of course, tell them that I am well." She paused, then it clicked. "Wait, Isadora was the one Klaus was dancing with. Oh, wait till he finds out." She was already picturing the blush on her little brother's face. Thursday left and Quigley started taking Violet back the long way.

"So, Quigleforth, huh?" The boy chuckled.

"Yes. VFD gives everyone a name. Some chose to go by their initials, some go for their full names, like me, and others just choose their names or their last names. Isadora goes by I.Q. and Duncan just goes by Duncan." He explained. Violet had already decided to go by V.B. Her feelings for the Quagmire boy were already coming back. But, she knew she could never act on it, it was not the time, place, or right mindset for her to do so. She also knew that she had not seen Duncan in almost 3 years, and she was not sure if she still had feelings for both triplets.

"We're almost there Violet."

(Isadora's POV) - about 10 minutes prior.

We had gotten the note from VFD that Violet had jumped. In all of my 16 years, I have never, ever seen someone as stressed as Klaus was at that moment. It was so cute! I was also nervous when we got the word that Violet was ok, I would get to show Klaus who I am. Will he be excited to see me? Even though it's been a few years, I have no fears. I know that he still likes me. We had a connection, I know we did. I just hope that he didn't find someone better.

I saw Thursday walking up out of the corner of my eye.

"All clear. She is alive and well. She is currency walking to the front with Quigleforth." Klaus was practically jumping for joy. Then he stopped. Thursday had already walked away.

"Wait, Quigleforth. Like Quigley? The Quagmire triplets? They're alive! Do you know anything of this?" He directed the last part of this question at me. I tried to hide my blush as I took off my mask.

"It may not be particularly wise, but it's a thrill to be in disguise Klaus Baudelaire."

"Isadora!" They jumped into each other's arms. They both knew they had been severely missed by the others.

"How are you here? Are your brothers alive? What happened to Hector? If Violet's with Quigley, where is Duncan?" Questions started spilling out of Klaus like a waterfall.

"Hold on. Let's go meet Quigley and Violet. I'm sure she has all the same questions as you do."

"Ok."

"Violet!" Isadora exclaimed. They gave each other friendly hugs, both having missed their friend.

"Quigley! I have so many questions." Klaus and Quigley shook hands. Trying to be professional.

"First off," Quigley stated, addressing the Baudelaires. "Duncan is alive. But, he went down a different path for VFD, being on the reporting side. So he was not yet qualified to be on this mission. He wishes he were though."

"Hector died in the hot air mobile home crash, we still morn that loss, lastly, we are here because we were assigned to help you get accustomed to life here. Violet, you now possess a fortune worth many millions, and Klaus, you will get some of that money when you turn 16, which is only a month away if I can remember correctly." Klaus blushed, happy Isadora remembered his birthday. Suddenly, Fiona and Jacquelyn came out of the door.

"Your mission was a success. You now are both official parts of VFD. Good job." said, Jacquelyn.

"Violet, Klaus! That was amazing!" said Fiona energetically. She hugged Violet and kissed Klaus on the cheek. Making Isadora's blood boil unintentionally. Klaus was going to have to make a choice. And fast.
