Chapter Two
Violet looked up and saw a girl standing in front of them. She had long dirty blonde hair that hung limply at her shoulders; the girl had blue grey eyes that were dull and lifeless, and had a pale, cold face that looked worn and tired. Klaus saw the girl standing there and saw that Sunny was in her arms.
He jumped up. Who was she? Why did she have Sunny?
"Who are you?" he asked angrily snatching Sunny from her hands.
"I am Rouge McKay. Now, I will explain everything when we get to the Snicket House." Rouge said in a raspy voice. She walked away from them, expecting the three to follow.
They did.
"What's the Snicket House? You mean Kit Snicket?" Violet asked as they ran to catch up with her.
"We haven't seen her in ages! How is she?" Klaus asked excitedly as she raised her eyebrows, amused.
"You'll see her when we get there." she said with a hint of laughter in her voice, but, she didn't laugh or smile.
Violet looked at her siblings with an unsure look in her eyes but nodded and walked with Rouge down the street.
"How long have you lived here Rouge?" Klaus asked her as they walked past a bright green grocery store.
"Ever since I was a little girl. I wasn't born here though; I was born in Drogheda." Rouge told them letting the accent in her voice show.
"Australia?" he said intrigued.
"Yes actually. My Dad moved my Mum and I out here to start a better life. He wanted us to be normal."
"This is anything but normal!" Violet exclaimed.
"Exactly what I said to him! But of course he told me to be quiet and go outside and make some friends." she sighed. "I tried. I really did try but all the kids around me were pain in the arses."
"Because they were so perfect right?" Klaus said.
"It was beginning to drive me insane!"
"Are your parents at the Snicket House too?" Violet asked her.
"No, err," she cleared her throat awkwardly. "They both died a few years ago."
"I'm sorry. We know how it feels to be without loved ones." said Violet apologetically.
"Oh, don't be. It was their time to go. They're much happier now." Rouge explained and began to walk up the steps of a dark pink house.
The house was fairly new looking with bright orange shutters. The colors of the house were hideous, as if it was from the sixties, and the yard was perfect. On the porch of the house there was a bench with a little girl sitting on it was a flower in her hand. Rouge ruffled the younger girl's hair and beckoned them to come over to her.
"This is Miffy. She's quiet. So don't expect to hear anything from her most of the time." Rouge told them and Miffy just waved at them.
"Rouge? Is that you out there sweetie?" called a woman's voice from inside the house.
"Yes Kit! I have them!" she shouted back.
The door swung open and out stepped the four people that they had never, ever, expected to seen again.
