The red herring was moved into a room and at some point the movement stopped. Isadora and Sunny woke up eventually.

-What's going on? Isadora says rubbing her eyes from sleep

-The herring was being moved but we've stopped now, Abigail quickly explained

-It's uncomfortable in here, Klaus remarks

-Very, Isadora agreed

Suddenly the herring opened and the children fell out. Klaus looked around and saw they were at some type of room

-Where are we? Isadora demanded

They were surrounded by Olaf's troupe, Olaf and Esmé.

- In a very In Auction of course, Esmé scoffed

-If we're at an auction we'll scream and they'll hear us, Klaus threatened

-Oh will they? Olaf asked and then grabbed Sunny off the floor

-Sunny! the children exclaimed reaching for the young toddler, now standing up

Sunny bit Olaf's hand and he released her as she fell to the floor and lunged to Klaus hiding behind his leg.

-OW! You orphans are really tiring me, Olaf hissed, grab an orphan!

Orphans.

-Which one? the bald man questioned

-Anyone!

Abigail pulled Sunny behind her and Klaus tried to get in front. The man then grabs Klaus and holds him tight

-Let him go! Isadora yells

-Leave him alone! Abigail continues

-I will let him go when the auction is over. Is need to make sure you will be shut up, Olaf smirks looking at the children

Then he gets Klaus' glasses and holds them highly.

-What are you doing! I can't see!

-That's the point orphan!

Orphan.

-Give him his glasses back, we won't scream I promise, Abigail said desperately

She thought it would work. He said they couldn't scream not that thy couldn't shout or yell.

But it was of no use.

-Your promise doesn't mean much orphan and unless you want me to break and stomp on those glasses and have your friend here blind go ahead and scream. I will atleast have one orphan then, he said muttering the last part

- Oh that would be so funny, Esmé said which reminded Isadora of how it was when she was not speaking

-We have to rush darling the auction is about to start, Esmé said one last time before getting back out at the stage

- What do you want from us, Isadora huffed

- I want you three to be quiet when we get you out there in the herring, Olaf explained

-What do you want to do with us, Abigail said bitterly

-That's for me to worry orphans

Orphans.

- Keep him in here, Olaf said

-But boss I am the doorman, the bald man said

-And we are security, the pale faced twins added

- I am your assistant on stage boss, Hook handed man said looking awkwardly at the Count

- I am betting, the last member said with a blank expression as always
