Have you ever wanted to escape from your prison? Yes, I have. Many times. Escaping from Count Olaf. Escaping here.
In Beauty and the Beast, Belle tries to escape her prison by tying her clothes that Madame de Garderobe made for her. That’s what I feel like doing. Right now. Yeah, she seems nice and all, but Alli said she has a bit of a temper And I believe her. I just want to get back to my family. See if they are okay, if Sunny needed anything. Or if Violet needed a new screw for her invention. But I can’t. I can’t escape. Not like Rapunzel, or Belle, who weren’t bound by treaties.
I looked out of the window, looking at the 100 ft drop below me. I’ve jumped off a 20 ft building before. But that was in a burning half-built hospital, with a surgical tube as a rope and my siblings to protect me. We protected each other. I’ve faced trials and tribulations, and adversity has always followed my family. I mean, Count Olaf has slapped me across my left cheek when we went to live with him. He also killed Uncle Monty and Aunt Josephine. Dr Orwell and Count Olaf hypnotised me and made me commit attempted murder, not once, but twice. He kidnapped the Quagmires and hid them in an elevator shaft. Count Olaf and Esme accused us of murder and HE killed our friend Jacques under the name of Olaf.
He took Violet and I had to disguise myself as a doctor to save her, and then Olaf accused us of arson, not once, twice.
He trapped Sunny in a cage. Sunny got infected by Medusoid Mycellium and I lost my first girlfriend.
We were accused of arson again and then got ourselves trapped on an island, with Kit Snicket.
We were left with her baby.
Now, I am 16 years old. Beatrice is with Sunny and Violet, and my friends. Quigley. Duncan. Isadora. Now my family is out of reach.
That is my impossible dream. Getting out of this place and seeing my family.
