Klaus and Sunny

They both watched in awe as they saw their two sisters, slowly drift further and further out into the distance. Their faces were pressed up against the small window that was keeping them between their sister.

"Captain Hardette! Please, you need to help save our sisters!" Klaus spoke at the top of his voice, pressing his face closer to the window.

"Save them please!" Sunny shouted to the Captain that was still speaking to himself. When a small voice spoke next to them.

"Leave it. You're too late." Klaus and Sunny turned around and were surprised to see Jasmine there talking to the two of them.

"What do you mean it's too late?" Sunny asked her, with a puzzled look on her face.

"They are as good as dead. No one ever survives when they enter the sea." She replied back to them without a care in the world. Klaus and Sunny looked at her, faces both filled with shock by what she had just said.

"How dare you say that! They are our sisters and we are going to save them no matter what!" Klaus replied back to her, hurt by her horrific comment.

"Whatever…" Was all the she said. She turned on her heel and walked out of the canteen. Klaus did not bother to watch her leave, he would not entertain her in any manner. He decided to move over to the Captain and put a hand gently on his shoulder to grab his attention.

"Please Captain, our sisters, we have just seen them, out in the distance. Please you must do something to save them." Klaus begged him. The Captain looked up at him in shock and jumped out of his chair and moved quickly over to the window. He peered at of the window, and began tutting to himself. "tut, tut…"

"What's the matter Captain? Please we need to save them!" Klaus said worryingly.

"Oh no it's not that. I'm just surprise young man that you would tell lies to me…" The Captain spoke to him with sadness and disappointment on his face. Klaus and Sunny looked at each other in amazement. They could not believe that he thought that they were lying to him.

"No Captain, my sisters are really at there. They have most likely drifted off. If we turn the ship around now we will be able to save them in time." Klaus replied back to him.

"I'm sorry but even if your sisters are indeed out there, there is nothing that I can do. I'm sure that they will turn up sooner or later." Captain Hardette gave them a small smile and sad pat on the back. He gave them one last look, turned around and walked very slowly out of the canteen.

The Baudelaire children watched as he left them, as he left their sisters. They had hoped that he would try and find their sisters but now it seemed that he would not believe anything that they said to him. It seemed that their lives were only going to get worse and worse.

"Come along children. I will show you to your rooms and you will begin helping us tomorrow." They turned around and show the Captain's wife standing just across from them. She did not have the same happy, smiley look on her face like she did before. In fact, she looked positively angry. Not wanting to make her worse, Klaus and Sunny, hurried over to her and made their way for a long and sleepless night.

The two Baudelaire children laid awake in their bunk-beds for most of the night, thinking about what comment Jasmine had said to them, how the Captain had believed them to be lying and how Juliet, the Captain's wife seemed to have switched and become a completely different person. And their sister's…who knew where they might be now. They would most likely be starving, thirsty or even…

"Klaus…" Sunny's little voice filled the room.

"Yes? What's wrong?" Klaus replied back to her, staring at the ceiling, imagining that it was a bookshelf filled with millions and billions of books for him to read.

"I'm fine, its just…will we ever see them again?" Sunny asked in a tiny whisper. He was waiting for this question, but he didn't have an answer for her. He just closed his eyes and rolled over on his side and pretended to fall asleep. Sunny knew that he did not want to answer his question and so she in return she pretended as well.

KNOCK KNOCK!

Sunny jolted in her bed and nearly hit her head. She was surprised to hear someone knocking on her door this early in the morning. She rubbed her eyes so that she would awaken and open her mouth to let out a big yawn.

"You guys awake yet?" A voice came from behind the door.

"Yes we are awake." Sunny replied back moving out of the bed sheets and into the cold, woodened ground. She hoped that there might be some good news coming their way, like their sisters were save, but she knew that it would most likely not happen. She watched as the door opened and the tall, brown haired Charlie came through the door. He did not seem like his happy self that he was yesterday. ` `

"Right, Klaus are you up?" He asked flatly. Klaus crawled his way down the ladder of the bunk-bed and landed next to his sister on the ground. "Good. So Sunny, you will be working with me today and Klaus you will be working with Jasmine. Sunny come with me and Klaus go outside and hunt for Jasmine." He didn't say anything else and walked out of the room. Sunny looked up at her brother and followed Charlie out of the room. She knew that Klaus died a little inside when he found out that he was going to spend the day with the one person that disliked him. But there was nothing that she could do about that. He was going to have to brave her and get to work. Like she was with Charlie.

"So Sunny, I think you can have some breakfast before we get to work. Does that sound okay?" Charlie asked her. Sunny quietly said yes to him and carried on walking. She was confused now, at first he seemed terribly grumpy and now he was beginning to seem rather cool and calm. This was unusual.

They both entered the Canteen and Charlie told Sunny to take a seat and that he would fix something up for her and himself. She nodded her head and moved over to the table and carefully sat herself down. She move her head over to the window and looked outside.

She saw her two sisters sailing back to her, they are coming back, they are coming back to her. She waves and jumps up and down in her seat and screams on the top of her voice. They wave back and blow kisses and flowers fly down upon them. And then, grass grows from underneath their feet and they are stuck. They are not coming anymore, they are not coming.

"Sunny? You still here?" Sunny lookEed up, her face pale and merely says a yes to Charlie. "You look like you were miles away there. You okay?" He sat down next to her and placed her breakfast in front of her. Eggs, bacon, beans, mushrooms, sausages and toast. It smells like the best thing in the world to her.

"I'm fine thank you. I was just thinking about my sisters…" She quietly said to him, picking her knife and fork up and cutting her bacon into tiny little pieces.

"I heard what the Captain said to you and your brother…I really sorry about that. The Captain can be quite stubborn sometimes." Charlie replied back to her as he began to butter his toast. "It's not his fault…I suppose old age is the only explanation that I can give you." Sunny looked him and smiled, and went back to her breakfast. She was not thinking about the Captain she was thinking about what Jasmine had said to her and her brother.

"What's wrong with the water?" Sunny asked carefully. Charlie looked at her, and picked her glass filled with water and peered inside, "Nothing is wrong with it. All clean." He smiled back to her.

"No, that water." She told him, pointing towards the ocean. Charlie followed the direction of her finger that pointed to the sea that they were sailing on and sighed.

"Jasmine said something? Right?" He smiled a sad smile at her. Sunny looked sheepishly at him, she did not want to cause conflict but she did want to know what she had meant. "Don't worry about it. Jasmine is just a big meanie sometimes. I can't stand the kid if I'm honest."

"Okay, but what does that have to do with what she said?" She asked with a mouthful of egg.

"Oh yeah, well you know the Captain and his wife adopted her right? Well that's because her mother killed herself by jumping into the sea. Several other women have also died many years before, when the Captain was working as a kitchen boy! But every since then she has been telling everyone that the sea is cursed and will take female's lives." Charlie explained to her while washing down his bacon. She looked at him with her eyes wide open shock by this information. She didn't think that was the real reason. Things suddenly made a little more sense.

"Hey but don't worry about it, okay? So eat up and then get washed cause we have a long day and I'm gonna need you help."

Klaus watched as his sister left him in the cabin by himself. He sighed as thought about spending a whole day with the little miss ray of sunshine. He dragged his feet out of the room and wandered around looking for the bathroom to give him a quick wash. He didn't feel like eating much and so he was glad that he wasn't offered any breakfast.

"Hey there dude! What you looking for?" Klaus, surprised out of his wits looked up and saw Bella standing his way.

"Oh hello Bella. I'm just looking for the bathroom." He watched as she pointed her finger at the door next to him. She smiled and bounced off somewhere. He turned towards the door, pushed, and went inside. He closed the door behind him and bolted the door so no-one could get in. He, took his glasses off, turned the tap on and splash the cold, smelly water against his face. He looked up at the mirror and though he couldn't see his reflection properly, he could see water running down his face. No it was not water it was tears. He was crying.

He did not know why but he carried on crying, he was letting it all out. He was letting years worth of tears just come out. He couldn't stop himself, he felt that he should just continue and just let it happen. And then a loud knock came at the door.

"I'll be out in just one second!" Klaus shouted back at the door. He wiped tears from his face and sorted himself out. He unlocked the door and opened it to find Jasmine standing there in front of him.

"There you are. You were suppose to come find me as soon as you woke up." She said bluntly to him.

"Sorry I wanted to get washed." He replied back to her, confused that this was going to be a problem for her.

"Yeah well we have work to do, so get following." He watched as she stormed out of the corridor and out into the front deck. Sighing he followed her hoping that today would be a good one.

Over two hours had passed since Klaus and Jasmine got to work with each other. And for that two hours they had been silent together, they had not spoke one word to one another. Klaus was now wishing that he had stayed locked in the bathroom it would have been a lot more fun than having to spend time with her.

They cleaned windows, scrubbed doors, washed floors, changed bed sheets, made beds and did everything else that no one else would want to do. Klaus was cleaning another window, but was not concentrating if it was clean or not but seeing if he could see his sisters, when a voice finally spoke.

"Why were you in the ocean?" Klaus turned around and saw the voice came from Jasmine. She wasn't looking at him, she was finishing making another bed. Her voice didn't seem to interested but then again she could have been faking it.

"Why do you want to know?" Was all the Klaus could muster to reply. He hated the fact that they had spent two hours in total silence and now she wanted to know how he came to be in the ocean.

"Just cause…"

He turned back around to the window and started cleaning again. He was wondering whether or not he should answer her. Or whether he should really care about what she had to say. He was just about to give her reply that would most likely be rude, when he saw green land coming into view. His mouth hung open as he watched.

"Looks like we heading into the Island again…" He looked at Jasmine and then back the Island and she was right. They were heading to an Island. But what shocked Klaus the most is why they were heading there and what were they going to find there.
