An Unfortunate Wedding

So much has happened since i last posted anything but its only been over a day. Today I was stuck in a situation that will haunt me forever. Count Olaf of course was involved. When Count Olaf heard he would only get money if he was married to a Baudelaire family member, he decided to marry me in a play, but the point is it wasn't just a play it was a wedding, this news brought me to tears but what made me lose hope was when I saw Sunny hanging in a cage that would plummet down from a high tower if i refused to go through with the wedding. And this time i had no choice, there was no solution, I had to marry Count Olaf. But Klaus had the determination and strength that I lacked, he trusted me but i didn't have any hope left in me, not in myself or my brother. He managed to reach the top of the tower and save Sunny, I don't all the obstacles he encountered but i doubt none were easily solved. When he reached the tower Sunny guided him to the window shaped like an eye that was a mystery to us three, something we found drawn at Aunt Josephine's but something we never understood. he reflected the glass through the light and used it to start a fire, a fire that burned up the wedding certificate, the one I never finished signing. My brother saved me, he saved my family and our values. Mr Poe was outraged when all was explained to him about Count Olaf. Now us three Baudelaire children will be located to another place, someplace i'm not sure of but as long as I have my brother and sister i'm already home.

The Calm Before The Storm

I know I've titled this the calm before the storm when really it was just 'the storm'. We moved to Aunt Josephine's house. Aunt Josephine was overly cautious and obsessed with grammar but she was nice enough. Her caution came after her husband died by being eaten alive by leaches in the ocean below and outside her home. One particular day we took her out and into the town to something for dinner. Out while shopping we all run into Count Olaf but of course he is in a disguise and of course Aunt Josephine invites him over for dinner, leaving us to shop and cook dinner. On our walk home the wind increases and later when we arrive home to an empty house a storm is on the way. Searching through the house looking for Aunt Josephine leads us to the window where she showed us various destination she explored with her late husband. It is smashed open and a suicide note is left near the window. I was so confused even more when Klaus started picking out her grammatical mistakes. Luckily he did, he crack a code informing us she was hidden in curdled cave. Before we had the chance to run to find her the storm gets stronger and starts ripping windows from the house and breaking down walls. We both duck and I cover Sunny under by body to save her from any danger. We had our eyes so shut that when they opened them we were shocked to find the house had been blow apart and we were trapped in a separate room supported by a few rails. The wind had died down and we still had to find a solution to getting across to shore. Few things were left on the remains of the room and we had to use what was left to bring us to safety, with my ribbon I tied up my hair and came up with a solution. We push the anchor from the kitchen hutch off the destroyed room and towards the beam that supported us, the aim was perfect and snapped it in two causing it to rock back and forth when it came closer to the shore we all jumped on three and landed safely on the other side, seconds before the remains of the house crashed down. After this I knew Klaus could trust me and that no matter how crazy my ideas were he would back me up and support me. And from then on I knew he would always be there for me.

An Unexpected Turn Of Events

This was even more unexpected and this was even more dreadful! Count Olaf showed up but not as Count Olaf but as Uncle Monty's good friend, Stefano. Klaus, Sunny and I ponder over how to get rid on 'Stefano' but are clueless to the damage that Count Olaf is able to do. The morning after Count Olaf arrives we awake to the house being filled with police, forensic scientists, doctors, investigators and Mr Poe crowding around Uncle Monty's dead body! I wasn't expecting everything to go pleasant after Count Olaf's arrival but i wasn't prepared to lose the such as compassionate and loving uncle. The doctor who looks awfully familiar states it was a snake bite from the incredibly deadly viper, but it makes no sense the incredibly deadly viper is the friendly snake in the ecosystem and not to mention the least dangerous. This is when I see Count Olaf speaking to reporters and investigators speaking of how tragic his death was and how deadly the snake is. Rage fills me and i'm determined to tell Mr Poe about the lies and how it really is Count Olaf in disguise but Sunny was one step ahead of me. Everyone turns around when they hear the high pitched laughter of a little girl. Sunny is on the floor with the incredibly deadly viper wrapped around her gently licking her face and playing with her. All are shocked as the snake is so calm and safe that its not for minutes until they discover the hallway to the door covered in Count Olaf's costume and Count Olaf nowhere to be seen. Off we go again leaving behind Uncle Monty's house in Mr Poe's car and to our next stop, Aunt Josephine's.

The Train that lead us to Uncle Monty

Something unexpected happened, something dreadful . Full ownership, we are now 'children' of Count Olaf, but that will never make me see him as my father. To 'celebrate' his ownership of us he decides to stop off at the Superette for a treat. Locked inside the car we soon find a schedule that leads us to notice we are parked on a railway line, with a train on its way through.Mr Poe calls but he cant hear over the train that's rushing past him.  I need to think fast and luckily that is something i do best. I tie up my hair as always required when i'm about to invent something as i love to do. But without the help of Klaus i wouldn't be able to invent anything, i needed his reading skills and exquisite memory to help me create a device that as he remembered could change the gears to move the train to the other track, so we would remain safe and alive in the undamaged car. With the train getting closer each second i needed to invent something at rapid speed, so i decided to ripped the head off the toy elf, bobbling at the back of the car and attach it to a spring from inside the car seat i attach both of these to a long, thin piece of leather stitched into the car seat. We the elf's head against the outside of the car window to get the distance and elevation we required to switch the gears. First shot failed but second was tightly hooked around the rusty gear, with all three of our effort we manage to pull hard enough to move the tracks saving us from the speeding train. Mr Poe finds us in the front of the car alone and is repulsed that Count Olaf allowed Sunny to drive the car, he is completely oblivious to the fact that Count Olaf didn't let Sunny drive and that he was trying to kill us! Mr Poe takes my siblings and me put of Count Olaf's care and in his car towards our newest guardian, Uncle Monty a herpetologist. With having arrived only hours ago its better than Count Olaf, which wasn't hard but Uncle Monty seems genuine and caring but i'm not keeping my hopes up. I never know what will happen next.

The Dinner Guests

We still haven't settled at Count Olaf's and his demands are increasing at a alarming rate. He hands us lists with chores for the three of us to complete for him. Earlier tonight we were finishing up, completing the 171th request when Count Olaf walks through the front door with 5 followers. The question he asked next took us by surprised, we had already done so much, what more could he want? Dinner. Number 172 was to 'prepare a delicious dinner for myself and my troupes.' We didn't know what to do; we had never cooked dinner in our life! Eventually with a lot of hard-work  determination and compromise we manage to cook up a delicious puttanesca but it wasn't enough, Count Olaf wanted roast beef. Klaus and i were stunned, we worked so hard to cook this meal and to be lectured for not making something we weren't even informed to cook, who did he think he was? As his tone of voice started to raise so did our anger, when finally Klaus says no to him taking our parents money while we slayed away. He snapped; about to abuse Klaus, Sunny's habit finely comes to use as she quickly bites Count Olaf's hand, distracting him for only a few seconds before he grabs Sunny. I just stood back, I had no clue how to react. Klaus shouts out 'YOU OUT HER DOWN!' None of us, not even his 'troupes' expected Count Olaf to turn around and slap Klaus right in the face. Finally i took over control and grabbed Sunny out of his arms and threaten to call Mr. Poe. This wasn't my smartest move as it caused us to be locked away in our room. Klaus breaks down asking me why our parents had no plan for us, how they could leave us at Count Olaf's. My solution to his pity is to build our own sanctuary where we can feel safe, where no one can harm us and until things improve its where we plan to stay.

The Start Of Our Adventures

Not many children ever have to deal with the death of a parent even less have to deal with the loss of both parents. And i doubt any fourteen year old children have to even picture the image of having an innocent day at the beach with your younger brother and sister and having Mr. Poe emit from fog with a puzzling expression spread across his face and telling you your parents have died. That is exactly what happened to my 12 year old brother Klaus, younger sister Sunny and Myself. The feeling on hearing that your parents have perished in a fire that destroyed your entire home is indescribable. Its not just one feeling but multiple, depression, despair, confusion and complete loneliness  Many emotions but none remotely close to happiness. Its been only a day since I've heard the news and i still can't completely comprehend what happened. All three of us have been sent to our closest relative's house, Count Olaf's. He is a strange man; aged in his late 50's with peculiar hair, bald at the front and grey at the back, it sticks out as if he has been caught in a storm. His eyebrows are even more peculiar and his teeth are stained yellow. None of us feel comfortable hear in this dark Gothic house and his presence doesn't calm any of us at all.Maybe after some time we will adjust to these foreign surroundings but i don't feel it happening anytime soon. But as i say 'there's always something!'
