Prologue
My name is Prudence Piixecorne Snicket; I have a twin sister Teresa Essence Snicket. I grew up in England in a little town called Dartmouth, with my mother and father. When I was 4 my father died on the job, his death wasn't heroic just a tragic accident. He worked on the oil rigs at sea and a fire sparked by and electrical problem killed 5 men, and injured many more. When I was about 10 my mother met another gentleman, my padre. When I was 12 he told my mother what he truly was. A Vampire. At this time vampires hadn't came out of the coffin so to speak. So we just thought it was another one of those mythical things that went bump in the night. Now I'm not going to spout all that Fellowship of the Sun rubbish, because Edwin was kind, loyal, loving and he would never hurt or allow another thing to hurt me, my sister or mother.
But about a week before the vampire came "out", we were heading back from Dartmoor where we had spent the 'day'; for mine and Resa's 13th birthday. It was late around 3ish when we were heading back into the car, when I, well I don't know how to explain it. Ever since I was little odd things just tended to happen, if I got angry stuff would blow up or set on fire; sometimes I saw things seconds before they happened. Just the usual insane crap that got the men in white coats chasin' you. So where was I, oh yeah. Well me were in the car heading home when I saw lights coming at us and a horrible smell of burning rubber. I woke up, knowing something terrible was going to happen I quickly took of my seat belt and leaned forward to buckle Resa in. just as the belt clicked the lights and smell of burning tires reached my senses, next thing I know I'm flying out of the windscreen and over the car that hit us landing a foot or so away. As I lied there not able to move a man went towards the car and stabbed a silver stake threw my mothers heart, the earth shattering scream echoed. Leaving silence, a silence I will never forget. As I lied there half dead half alive Edwin sat beside me, he looked so broken. He kept whispering in Latin "Ohh my angel I have failed you I'm so, so sorry". As dawn approached he bent down and whispered "Live" and he walked into the first rays of light. I watched the sickening beautiful picture unfold before me. It was like the fall of an angel. Covered in purple and green fire he disappeared from the earth. I prayed he found peace I didn't know if heaven existed but I hoped that my mother, father and padre found peace. The last thing I heard before I blacked out was the approaching sirens. I knew then that the life I had, was dead.
The silence unfolded around me, covering me, calming me and set into my soul.
Pure silence.
