🌹Chapter 1: First Sight🌹

Your Point Of View

I wanna make one thing very clear, Count Olaf is not my father. I was taken from my family as a baby by Him, and all I know is my last name is Snickett. I know it sounds harsh but I hate that man with every fiber of my being. You might wonder why I don't try to get away, well I have. The moment I was able to open the front door I would try to run away and tell people. But he was always able to make an excuse like 'I bumped my head and being loopy'

I was raised with a mop in my hand because the lord knows that man can't do anything for himself. I've gotten used to living like this, in darkness. My visits to Justice Strauss in the afternoon are the highlight of my day. I go through her library and read everything I can

I try to tell her about Count Olaf but whenever she tries to arrest him, things get messed up

But anywho I hope someday things will get less unfortunate

~~~

I read the local newspaper today before Olaf could wake up

There was a horrible fire at someplace called the Baudelaire mansion. No one knows how the fire started and barely anything survived.

The three children are now orphans and they are moving with a family friend who goes by... COUNT OLAF

Oh no, those poor kids

~~~

I asked Olaf about the newspaper and he said that a man would be dropping those children off later today and they would be sleeping with me in my room. I tried to ask how he knew the family but he ignored it and put me to work

2:00

Perfect timing

I heard a knock on the door and saw a middle-aged man standing behind three children, the Baudelaires

There was a girl who looked a couple of years older than me. She had straight long brown hair with bangs, her features quite pleasing to the eye.

She was holding a baby who looked not even a year old. She had a small blonde ponytail on her head

Last but certainly not least, a charming boy who looked about my age with glasses and dark brown hair. I found myself getting lost in thought for a second and then I heard the man behind them start to terribly cough

He finally finished "Ah I'm Mr. Poe, here to drop off the Baudelaires, you are?"

"Y/N Sni-" I'm cut off by Count Olat laughing at the top of the staircase and posting to get attention

"Hello, hello, hello children," he says rushing down the stairs and passing me

He smiles "I am Count Olaf, renound actor and your new guardian" He looks at them for a second and says "You're welcome"

"Thank you" the eldest, who I believe is called Violet mutters

He grins "You're welcome, please come in, and mind you wipe your feet on the mat so you don't track any mud. And don't forget your enormous fortune"

He allows them in, showing off the place like it is a grand palace but  in reality is just a shack filled with dust and rats

Olaf was about to close the door but Mr. Poe stepped in

I politely ask "Sir would you like some water for your cough, it would probably do you some good"

"How sweet, don't mind if I-" Mr. Poe gets cut off by Count Olaf

He smiles "My dear we wouldn't want to take up all of this fine man's time now, would we? Manners dear"

I roll my eyes

"You're correct I do have a tight schedule," he says looking at his watch "Well children, I will check in on you soon. Do behave yourselves and-"

"Yes, yes. They'll be fine you must get back to work have a nice day" Olaf says pushing him out the door and shutting it

"Ahhh, Baudelaires. It's truly a pleasure to have you here" he says with his yellow grin "Y/N will show you to your room"

I nod and walk up the stairs with them following behind

I open the door and usher them in "Well this is the room. "Oh! Silly me I guess I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Y/N Snickett" I say holding out my hand

The eldest takes my hand and says "Hi, I'm Violet and these are my siblings Klaus and Sunny"

I smile and look at the young baby, I give her a little wave and she grins at me laughing. I hope that means she likes me

I offer my hand to the young boy who's been quiet the whole time. He gives me a firm grip, and I catch his eyes for a second and I see some sort of spark in them

Sunny babbles something that her sibling seemed to understand. Klaus blushed and said "Pipe down Sunny" under his breath (What you soon learned was that Sunny had said 'Get a Room')

Violet chuckles and sets Sunny down on a pile of blankets

The room itself was interesting. The walls matched the same sad grey wood but you had lined the walls with strings that held candles and such and layered quilts and blankets on the floor

"I know it's not much but Count Olaf doesn't give us the best living arrangements. The lovely women next door give me quilts every Christmas so I've stitched them together to make all this"

Violet asked "Did you make the bookshelves, and these candle holders"

I smile "Yes, I've gotten quite handy having to work around the house"

Klaus asked, "Why are you here?"

Violet gave him a look but I laughed "It's alright, I'll tell you about that later, we have more important things to deal with"

I set their stuff in the closet and we went back downstairs

Boy this will be rough
