Chapter Three
Y/n's P.O.V.
After Violet led me to the bathroom, I shut the door and quickly changed out of my clothes wanting to get into the tub as quickly as possible. I dipped my hand into the water and was immediately greeted with warm and steamy water.
I lay down in the tub, and the water slowly soothed my aching and sore bones. The last time I had a hot bath like this was when I was living in Esme Squalor's penthouse. When I started living with her, she told me that there were two bathrooms. One looked like a simple bathroom with nothing fancy about it whatsoever.
But the other bathroom, was luxurious it had a large white tub, and small jars of bath salts, roses, and lavender rested near the tub. But, Esme told me that her bathroom was off-limits. Then one night, she was working late, and I decided that it wouldn't hurt to have at least one soak in her bathtub.
I sprinkled a little bit of bath salts hoping that when she came home, she wouldn't notice. I spent a good hour in the tub when I fell asleep. Soon, I woke up to the sound of a loud scream.
It was Esme, at first I thought that she was screaming because she thought that I had drowned, but she wasn't about that at all, she was screaming because I had used her tub. She wouldn't talk to me for a week because of that. Then a week after that, I got kicked out of her home because of the newspaper.
Esme's screams echoed inside my head, I opened my eyes and discovered that I was underwater. I quickly lifted my head out of the water and coughed out a mouthful of water. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the bathroom door; I panicked and stepped out of the tub wrapping a towel around my body. "Who's there?" I asked hoping that I sounded calm to whoever was at the door. "It's Klaus; I heard some coughing from down the hall, are you okay?" Klaus asked.
I opened the door slightly, and poked my head out to look at him, "I appreciate you checking on me, everything's okay I just fell asleep in the tub by accident," I explained. Klaus looked a little scared, but I gave him a small smile and silently assured him that I was alright.
"I'll be out in a moment, you guys can get ready for dinner," I smiled. He nodded and went back to his sisters. I drained the tub and slipped on a short blue dress that Violet had left for me. I stepped out of the bathroom and walked down the hall gently smoothing out the wrinkles in the dress.
When I walked into the dining room, all four of the Baudelaire's looked up from their bowls, and stared at me in awe. "How do I look?" I asked. "Y-You look beautiful," Klaus stuttered. I felt my cheeks begin a glow; no one had called me beautiful in a long time.
"You can sit next to Klaus," Violet said pointing to an empty chair that was in front of me. I took a seat, and Klaus gave me a small smile. Beatrice had a small bowl of applesauce, while the rest of us had small bowls of chicken and carrot soup.
I smiled as I watched Sunny fed Beatrice small spoonful of applesauce. I found it quite adorable, and I could see that Klaus was watching too with the smile still spread across his face.
I slowly dipped my spoon into the broth and gently slurped it until I tasted metal. "Baudelaire's, I know it's been a while, but could you tell me the whole story of what happened?" I asked. Violet and Klaus looked up at me with looks of concern.
"Are you sure you want to hear this story? It's not a pleasant one," Violet asked. "It's more of a series of unfortunate events," Klaus added.
"I'm sure, but it can't be too terrible," I answered.
