Chapter 1: The New Guardian
Musicians are one of the few things I enjoy. I, once had an accordian in which burned down in flames a few years ago. Musicians produce beautiful music. But there are some Musicians are so horrible, that even I cant stand to listen to them. Nero, for instance, believed he was good at the violen. If a Musician produces good music, he usually has a good attitude. If a Musician produces bad music, he usually has a bad attitude.
Klaus looked out the window of the bus he was riding on. The road seemed to go endlessly. They hadnt stopped since breakfast. Klaus really wished he had something to read. He had read all the boring magazines and wanted to read up on Musicians. Klaus Baudelaire, the middle child, just loved to read. When he was younger, his father would often walk in, to see him curled up in bed with a book and a flashlight.
Violet, on the other hand, couldnt care less about books. She was thinking about making an invention that would allow busriders to see where they were at the moment and how much more time. You see, Violet, the eldest child, was the inventor. Her inventions had gotten the siblings out of trouble more than once.
Sunny, the youngest child, was sleeping on Violets lap. She was dreaming about sinking her teeth into an Enchilada. Sunny was no bigger than a loaf of bread, but she had gotten the siblings out of traps, cages, and an elevator, with her 4 sharp teeth.
They were utterly surprised when the bus halted to a stop.
"Alright, den orfans?" the busdriver said
"Orphans?" Klaus asked
"Yeah. The funny lookin' feller, the banker, said yer parents died, ey?"
"Yes, very unfortunate" Violet said
Sunny, who woke up, said "eoosk", which meant something like "Whats going on here? Why has the bus stopped?"
Klaus looked out the window again. They were now in a pretty town. A blue lake surrounded the town. The lakes water was crystal clear, and you could see pebbles underneath. It seemed that the villagers took pride in the lake.
"How will we get to the town?" Klaus said
"How else" he said "row teh butt of course"
"Boat, you mean?" Klaus asked
"is what I say. I will rew the butt across the lake for yu, ey"
Sunny giggled.
So, the bus driver got out and led the siblings to a boat, which they got in and rowed. On the ride to the town, Klaus decided to ask questions.
"Whats the name of the town?" he asked
"Valdamir" the busdriver said.
"I like that name" Klaus said
"Be warned" the busdriver warned "The villagers hear are crazy about the lake. Their is no telling what they'll do to you if you pollute it"
The Orphans didnt mind. But soon, they would. Because one of the orphans would be sentenced to be punished. In the harshest way possible.
They got to Valdamir. The three children stepped out, waved goodbye to the busdriver as he rowed back down the river and turned around to see an elderly woman.
"Is that you Bauldelaires?" the woman asked
"Yeah..." Violet said
"Well, hello. Im Anna. I'll be your new guardian here in Valdamir."
The woman led the children to a carriage, which they rode down to the local resturant, Valdamir Paradise.
"We will eat here. Its a very cheap place, with delicious foods! Tommorow I get my paycheck, from the nice new boss."
They sat down, and a waiter, dressed up in hawaiaan style shirts walked over.
"Hello, fellow Valdamir Villagers. What would you like?"
Anna smiled. "The usual, Charlie. Lake Liquor for me, and how about some Encliladas and some water for the kids."
Klaus and Violet tried not to say how rude it is to order other peoples food. But Sunny, who loved Encliladas couldnt of been gladder.
When the Enchiladas came, Violet automatically fell in love with them, same with Klaus.
Anna took tiny sips of Lake Liqour.
After the best meal they'd had for a while, Anna led them to a time house. Its windows looked freshly cleaned, the lawn mowed, and the door fixed. Seems she fixed it up.
when they went inside there was a tiny model of the lake.
"Hey, cool" Klaus said touching it.
Anna suddenly hit Klaus's hand.
"No touchie. Thats a rare model."
Oh boy. Lake Obsessed.
