Book 1 of the Controlled by Hook series

The Count named Olaf

You've all read the Series of Unfortunate events right? If not you've heard of them at least. Well this is the same stories except from Count Olaf's point of view. Alright as you know I am Count Olaf. Now don't freak. This is the Controlled by hook series. I'm really not evil. As the title says I was controlled by hook. Listen to my story and tell me…….am I a criminal?

One muggy, cloudy day in April three children were at Barony Beach. As for me, I was at my house doing what I normally do. Acting. I was with my acting crew. Hook, Baldy, and Two women who I do not know there names. I was getting very frustrated so I walked over to the window. I saw a big puff of smoke coming over from the Baudelaire mansion. Oh know what's going on? I thought to myself and decided to go get a better look.

"Hey, where's Hooky?" I asked.

"Here," Hooky said and took a cloth out if his pocket and shinned his hook. There was a red gem that glowed like fire and for a second I was starring at it. I couldn't turn my head away. I tried and tried, and only succeeded when Hooky gave a nasty grin. I shook my head.

"Anyway, I'm going to go see what happened. So I'll be back in 10 minutes or so…" Hooky glared at me. Ooook o thought to myself and headed out the door. Outside, everything was a mess. You look over at my neighbors' house, Justus Stratus, and think WOW…then you look at MY house. AHHHHH! Yeah you would scream. My house was very dirty and I had rats and mice everywhere.. I've tried to clean it up before, but I get a sudden urge not to. Weird. I felt a strong hand on my shoulder.

"Don't bother with it." Hooky said. "I took care of it." I got the urge not to go see how the Baudelaire's.
