Selena's P.O.V
Okay I'm really tired of laying around all day. I rolled off my bed and stood up next to my dresser. My hair was a mess and I felt as if I had been sleeping for a solid good thirty minutes. In the midst of my self assessment, I took up my brush and brushed my hair, paying attention to the knots intently. Feeling satisfied, I put down the brush.
Instead of just laying around for the rest of the day, I might as well help thr Baudelaires with their work. But good things do have a price. If I go over to their place, that means I'll have to converse with Count Olaf. Just thinking of him makes me want to hurl.
Choices, choices...
I want to help, so yeah I'm going. I changed my attire quickly and rushed downstairs for dinner. Aunt Strauss had just set the table and I took my regular seat beside her. Smiling at my eargerness for her food, she went into the kitchen again.
Moments later, she came back with a bowl of mashed potatoes balanced in one hand and in the other was a plate of barbecue chicken. I helped her place the bowls of chicken on the table before taking a seat again as she shared out the food.
"Aunt Strauss, I was wondering if I could stay at Count Olaf's house for a night." I said whole playing with the mashed potatoes with my fork.
She looked surprised before replying," Why would you want to go? I thought you didn't like Count Olaf." Looking up after having some mashed potato I shrugged.
"It seems that the Baudelaires would need my help seeing as they are making dinner for him. I also just want to know more about them." I replied. She looked to be in thought for a second before replying," I don't see why not. But remember to bring a change of clothes and ask Count Olaf first."
"Of course Aunt Strauss." Ugh I have to converse with him at some point again in my life.
I finished my dinner and immediately afterwards went to pack my bag for the night. I hope they don't mind me helping them out.
Putting my mini travel bag over my shoulder and went out the door after getting a quick goodbye from my Aunt.
I started my trek across the road and saw Violet, Klaus and Sunny. Violet and Klaus were holding bags of groceries and were walking to their new home.I picked up my pace a little i decided to spook them a little. I slowed my pace and when I was right behind them I made my presence known.
"I am always watching." I said in a deep voice. They both jumped a bit seeming spooked before turning abruptly to face me. They're expressions changed from frightened to delighted and I smiled back.
" Did ya miss me?" I questioned them with an innocent look on my face. Violet looked happy before responding.
"Yes, although you did just scare us to death." She replied giving me a playful glare. Giggling slightly I decided now was the time to tell them why I'm with them.
