Prologue

Some people make a living just by their family fortune.

And others actually make a living from scratch.

But then some people have both in life, one way or another.

Roxas just so happened to have them both.

Roxas was sitting on his bed, in his new cell of a world he called home. He is an orphan who's moved from four different orphanages in the past five months. The one he inhabited now, was not a place he liked being.

He had been trying to make his life easy, but the orphanage owners he met were making it a difficult task for him. His hard, cold barrier was growing weak, and his patience with the world has long since disappeared. Nothing seemed to be going right anymore. That was until his life took a full lift.

It was an average Friday evening, and a certain blond haired teenager was in his normal spot. Most people ignored him, knowing he was a very anti-social person. But others talked just to annoy him.

The only thing the orphanage owner knew about him was that his name was Klaus Baudelaire. He spoke only French, so no one understood what he said. Wasn't much of an issue considering he never spoke.

One man had actually been lucky enough to figure out he didn't respond to 'Klaus'. After a long day, though, the man found that Klaus went by 'Roxas'. Since that day, he has been referred to by 'Roxas' or maybe even 'that kid'.

The Friday was nothing out of the average day, as far as it seemed. But some rich, snobby looking male came inside, and asked for the owner. It wasn't often to see this, for any of the orphans. But they all had hope in their eyes. They all understood, someone was going home with this man.

"Excuse me, but I am looking for a new waiter around the age of 18 who will work for shelter and food. The pay will be high, and they will only be working with what they can handle. Is there anything you might do to help me in my search?" The mans' voice was strong, and yet soothing. This man wasn't wasting time with getting to a point.

The owner thought for a moment, then answered thoughtfully. "I have a few 18 and older, yet I am not sure if they would be willing to work. But I can show you to them, if you would like." She smiled sweetly to the man, and then led him to where the teenage orphans were.

The man looked at the orphans, and his eyes grazed directly to the blond in the corner. He knew right away he had found his selection. His mission was going to be a success.

The man slowly and swiftly made his way to the blond, whom had barely noticed his presence. "I shall say, this lad looks to the part. What is his name?"

Said blond looked at the man, mouth slightly agap at the fact of him daring to speak to him.

"His name is Klaus Baudelaire, but mind you, he doesn't respond to it. He will only respond to 'Roxas'." The lady answered, a-matter-of-factly. Apparently she was very open to having Roxas be taken.

"Well, can he speak?" The man studied the blonds face, as he lightly pulled him to his feet, seeing the blonds' girl-like, petit figure. All the blond could do was stand there, still amazed with this man.

"He hasn't spoken a word for some time. And along with that, he speaks French, not English." With that, she sighed, thinking he won't want Roxas anymore.

"Well, that is no issue. I can speak almost fluent French. I believe I shall take this Roxas on as an apprentice and my worker. Is this alright for you, my dear miss?" The man looked from Roxas, to the lady.

Her mouth instantly switched to a very bright smile. "Oh, but of course, my dear sir! If you shall follow me, we can fill the adoption papers out."

The man nodded, and walked away from the blond, who had finally closed his mouth.

The blond ended up staring at the doorway, along with the other teens in the room, amazed Roxas was chosen.

About fifteen minutes later, Roxas was told to pack the clothes that he owned and any belongings. He wasn't sure, but he felt like this was the start of a new life. If only he knew it was more than he could swallow.

After he was done packing, he was brought out to the man and owner who had earlier been by him. The man greeted him, and the owner smiled brightly, and waved as Roxas was led by the man to a long, dark limo. Roxas also noticed the other orphans waving through the windows at him.

Roxas slid into the open door being held before him, and it was closed behind him. He curiously looked around the limo, very excited about his new life.

The man slid into the limo from the other door, opposite the side Roxas was sitting at. The man looked straight at him, and smiled lightly.

"I take you have never ridden inside of a limousine, have you?" Roxas slowly nodded, still looking around. It was a lie, really. He has ridden in one, a lot, to be certain. But he didn't feel like saying he had in case it started a discussion.

"You aren't a very talkative youngster, are you?" The man was questioning his authority now, and Roxas was absolutely dumbfounded. First this man talked to him, and then took him away from his orphanage, and now, he's insulting him! What the man would do next, Roxas was not sure.

The man ended up giving Roxas a strange look, so Roxas indicated he heard by nodding his head slowly. This was going to get awkward in a minute, and that was for certain.

After the rest of the ride was doused in silence, the limo stopped. The man smiled, and waited for his door to be opened, which was only a few following seconds. The man was first to exit the limo, then Roxas followed suit.

The house Roxas's eyes befell upon was huge! It had a large courtyard with a royal garden that was well attended too. The door was made of solid marble, and the walls were a gentle, marble toned white. Roxas was just about in heaven compared to what he has been in.

Roxas didn't have time to wander, unfortunately. He was hurried inside and given the grand tour of the mansion. He was given a room, his assignments, and then a waiter's outfit.

He found out he would be paid along with being fed and housed. He was very happy to know that he would be working here. It seemed like an upside turn of his downhill life.
