Klaus looked outside from his window. He brushed his curly black hair away from his eyes, putting on his round glasses. It was about 5 am in the morning, and no one was awake. The only thing for company was the book he was meant to return to Olivia, Twilight by Stephanie Meyers.  He smiled, he only had a couple of chapters left. He had seen the movie many times, and he loved the bit when Bella was being saved by Edward. Well, the bit when James bit her and broke her leg. Klaus shook his daydream out of his mind, but little did he know that this love for Bella and Edward would be integral to saving someone.

The cockerel crowed as he was finishing the epilogue and the sun rose over the town. He went out of the house, down the steps, and greeted the townsfolk warmly, while getting bread.

He went to the Apples' stand, where the head of the family, Granny Smith, was selling her most popular treats. They were chatting, Klaus talking about Twilight and Granny Smith trying to understand what he was saying. 

He felt people were watching him, as they were sniggering behind him. He walked on his way to the library, where a friend of the Baudelaires and the Quagmires, Olivia Caliban, ran it. 

He pushed open the door. "Ah, Klaus," she said in a warm voice. "Have you finished Twilight?"

"Yes," he replied. "I loved it. I've seen the movie but the book is better. I especially loved it when Bella was being saved by Edward and when they were dancing, when Eddie and Jake knew perfectly well that Bella HATED dancing," 

Olivia laughed. "It's good. I haven't got any new books in at the moment. But I know you like The Sign of the Four by Arthur Conan Doyle. You can keep it. I've got about 20 copies of that book."

Klaus looked at Olivia in surprise. "Thank you!" he cried, hurrying to get the book. 

Olivia smiled. "You're very welcome, Klaus. Say hello to your sisters and the Quagmires, won't you?"

He nodded. "I will!" he cried happily. 

He went out, crashing straight into Carmelita Spats and Snips. Carmelita was always trying to harass him and trying to get him to marry her.

"What you got there?" she asked.

"A book," I said, hugging the book close to my chest. "It's my favourite one."

"Is there room for one more in your house?" she asked, waving a pink gloved hand in the direction of his home.

"Well," he said awkwardly. "Well, I don't know how to break it to you, but you're not welcome in my household. Violet proclaimed it. Quigley agrees and seems like Duncan and Isadora do too. I'm sorry, Carmelita, but no. You're not welcome." 



I walked off, nose stuck in my book, towards the house

" Bad luck," said Snips.
