A/N- I know this is short but please read and review. if you're already one my readers i hope you don't mind the change to Lemony Snicket. This sounds a lot like the seris of unfortunate events, but it's not. The characters aren't the same but you'll see how it's similar.
Chapter1 Tremendous troubles
I'm sure that in your entire life you probably have heard the phrase " he kicked the bucket" meaning he died. Of course this is one of the stupidest phrases ever invented, seeing as many people do not die because they kicked a bucket. You probably realized that before I just told you. Also at ones funeral it would be rather odd if you went around telling everyone, "he kicked the bucket harder than anyone I know". I can say through experience that you probably will never be invited to any more funerals regardless of how much you plead, if you say that to anyone there. As Fiona and her brother Samuel carried their baby sister April toward their home they looked at each other and smiled. Their home was also known as the Eliophont homestead. Their house was the largest house in the entire state, for the Eliophont family was exceedingly rich.
Even though this was so, I must warn you that this account of there lives is not meant to be a child's story or a fairy tale were the children will have a wonderful life and everything they wanted would be theirs. In this story they do not have a happy beginning, they rarely have a good time in-between, and there will not be a happy ending, for this story is meant to tell the truth, not make a good feeling in your heart. I'm sorry to say that this story begins with the children opening the door of their enormous homestead to find there mother and father laying on the floor. They had evidently kicked the bucket. I'm sorry to say that this was only the beginning of the many unwanted unpleasant surprises the Eliophont children- I'm sorry, I mean orphans, would encounter in the treacherous journeys they were soon to experience. They would also find out so much more than they already knew, about a subject that you think you know a great deal about. But the children would soon find that they did not know too much, about who their parents really were.
