Max's P.O.V.

The sunny beaches of Cali were the most beautiful time this year. The cool wind blows through my wavy, dirty blonde. I can feel the breeze as it hits my face. I'm just enjoying my day, as usual. It would usually be very crowded here today, but everyone in California thinks it's too cold to go to the beach today. It's 64 degrees out. I grew up in Michigan, this is nothing. We'd have winters that would be either 54 or -1 degrees outside. People here are wimps. I looked out at the sunset. It a beautiful bright red today. I watched, as the sun slowly set over the distance, and out of the horizon. I checked the time. 9 o'clock. I had to go home. 


"Max?" I hear someone say. 

I turn around and it's Megan Moore and Dennis Nolan. We got really close in 6th grade over Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. The Netflix show. But I had also read the books, and they were just as good. 

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked. 

"We came to find you." said Dennis. We just really need to see if you were doing fine." 

"Yeah, I'm good." I replied.

"What are you doing out here all alone?" asked Megan.

"Getting away from drama." I replied.

There was a whole escapade going on at our Middle School over something about a boy and his girlfriend, who were both really attractive. They'd broken up and now everyone was fighting over who should date them now. We're in frickin' Eighth Grade people!!!! Focus on your studies, gosh dang it! I didn't want to get involved at all. Even though, the girl was really hot. 


A man in the distance was walking closer to us, but I didn't wanna pay attention. Megan, Dennis, and I kept talking about usual friend topics. As this was happening, the man got closer. When he got to us, I can see that he had an eye that was brown, and one that was blue. He had a black tuxedo on and pearly white teeth. He was completely bald. The one thing that stood out the most, was that had the VFD logo from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events on his one earing on his left ear. 

When he all stared at him, he looked at Dennis and said, "Well young lady, have you been good to your mother?"

"What?" asked Dennis.

"I don't know Denny, have you?" we all laughed at that. I was beginning to think about that. I'd heard it somewhere. Then it hit me and my eyes filled with shock. The man saw this and walked away. 

In the distance we could hear fire trucks racing down Melenova Street. Denny's street. "What could that be about?" asked Denny. We could also see smoke from the street, rise into the air.

"Denny, that was from ASOUE!!!" I screamed.

"Oh yeah! But what does it mean?"

Megan's eyes filled with disbelief. "DENNY, THAT'S CODE FOR RUN AWAY, YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!!!!!" 

We raced down the street, only to see Denny's Dads house and his Moms house burning down.

"Where are my parents?!" Denny asked the nearest fireman.

"I'm so sorry kid." the fireman replied. 

"NOOOOO!!!" Denny screamed. He started crying and collapsed into Megan's arms. In the distance, I saw two figures. One was a woman with hair standing straight up, and the other one was a man with a beard, but no hair at all. Then they looked directly at me. It was the Woman With Hair but no Beard and the Man with a Beard but no Hair. But we'll call them the Sinister Duo. They gave a wicked smile towards us.

The same man at the beach unhooked something from his pocket. I felt like this was anesthesia because I started to feel dizzy. I looked next to me. Denny and Megan were be carried away by men with black masks. As I was about to pass out, the Sinister Duo hovered over me. "Night, Night." I heard someone say creepily. Then, everything went black.
