If stella rosenburg turned to an adult, she thought that maybe maybe if she was the one in the fire, maybe everything would've turned out different

She looked out to see everyone out of their beds

The entire town saw, of course, who couldn't?

The people surrounding the house didn't even call any firefighters. Hell, the news reporters there could've called them

Stella was running as fast as she could to the fire department, but whilst she was running, she tripped and fell, cutting her knee. Once she got up, she saw a suspicious man walking towards her. Her instincts told her to run, so she did.

She looked behind and saw the man running after her

She took a sharp turn to the bauldelaire mansion and had to make sure he was gone

Her eyes were tearing up not only from the pain but also from the anxiety of her parents not being alive.

She had a right to feel anxious cause they weren't alive

She got up and peeked through the window and saw the bauldelaires up. She thought to herself,'Why are they up this late?' She can see the mom and dad talking to the boy in the glasses she couldn't make out any words. But she could tell that the boy was distressed. Clearly distressed 

They all went to their rooms, leaving the boy. i walked to the front door and knocked on it

No one answered

Bauldelaire pov:

A/n before we continue, i need to say that i head cannon Klaus to be afraid of the dark after he read a book about Jack the Ripper :3

Klaus bauldelaire woke his mom and dad up cause he could hear noises coming from outside 

"M-mother!" He cried they came almost almost immediately 

"W-what, what is it?"

"Klaus, you're gonna wake sunny a

"S-someones outside"

"Klaus no ones outside"

As they were about to leave

"C-can you at least check?"

"Fine," the dad Bertrand said

He goes to check as he looks through the window, and he sees nothing

He lets out a sigh

"See klaus. No one's there. "

"We should've never got him that book on englands most notorious serial killers."

Klaus mouth is wide as he swore he saw someone

"Bu-"

His parents cut him off

"Klaus, you know we love you, but. You need to be brave. You're about to be 13"

Klaus pouted
"Okay.."

Mom and dad smiled "goodnight kiddo"

"Good night, mother father

Back to stella

Stella didn't wait for a response as she needed to act quickly

But as she turned around, she saw the man

She let out a scream and ran

But the man grabbed her by the wrist

"What do you want from me!?!"

Shouted stella

It turns out it was just Mr. poe from the bank

Who seemed a bit startled and flinched when she yelled at him

"Woah there. Y-you are quite the runner"

"Oh.. Mr poe.. how do you do?"

"Quite great."

He says. Coughing into what seemed to be a towel

"Ehem.."

He cleared his throat

"Um.. mulctuary money management regrets to inform you that... I'm very sorry to say rosenburg, but your mom and dad died in a house fire

Stella could already feel the tears forming

"W-what about cu-cucko?."

Mr. poe gave a confused look

"T-the cat?"

"Oh yes, the cat! Uhm, no, it didn't make it. "

She could feel a tear run down her cheek

"Cuckos a-a he"

"Excuse me?"

"A boy.. cucko was a boy. Not a it "

She said with a bit of salt

"Oh yes, sorry, your parents left you the bakery and the money in the will in case something like this would happen."

"I'm terribly sorry,"

Mr. Poe started walking away when he soon turned around and said

"Well, come along, Miss rosenburg!"

"What?"

"Well, you're gonna stay with me. Until tomorrow, of course. Then you get to stay with your closest living relative count olaf!"

"C-count who?"

"Olaf!"

"I-i got that. But who is he?"

"He's your fifth cousin 3 times removed or... 3rd cousin 5 times removed either way he's removed"

"I don't think that's what they mean by closest"

"He's an actor, so that's how you know his love is genuine. Now come along, Miss rosenburg, we don't have all day!"

"O-okay.."

She pulled the photograph her parents had given her from out of her pocket.

"You guys are dead, and it's all my fault... I'm horribly sorry." The tears came to rise, and she hugged the photograph as It would've be the only thing she would have left of her mom and dad.

"And I never got to say goodbye"
