the vile village: how it should have been

👁️ Chapter 3👁️

(I know this is slightly different to the timeline of the show but let's just pretend this is how it went 😁)

"Finished." Violet said with a smile. The two younger Baudelaires quickly awoke and went over to thier older sister. Violet had done it again, she had made a pickaxe that worked on its own that could break the wall of the jail down in no time.

"Then we should get going," Klaus began,"the sooner we get to the jailhouse the more time we have to break Jacques out."

"Yelgo!" Sunny cried which meant something like yeah, let's go. The children quietly woke Hector to let him know they were leaving.

The Baudelaires were silent for the journey,Sunny couldn't help but wonder what would happen if the didn't get Jacques out of jail. Klaus couldn't help but think about weather the council of elders would give them the same punishment as they would give Jacques if they didn't get him out. Violet, being the oldest was most concerned about what scheme Olaf was coming up with.
The children were just coming up to the jail when they heard a yell. The two older Baudelaires looked at each other.

"That sounded like," Violet started.

"Esmé." Klaus finished.

The children rushed toward the saloon and peaked through a gap in the wall. They were shocked as they saw Olaf approaching Esmé, with the crowbar still in his hand, Jacques was lying on the ground and there was someone else, a woman, she looked like the school librarian from prufrock prep. Klaus could see the fury in the villans' eyes and turned to his sister who already had her hair tied back with her ribbon. Violet looked around her and then at her siblings.

"Klaus, do you know if there is a rule in this town about being out after a certain time?" Violet asked. Her brother thought for a second.

" Rule 3457 says that there should be no one in any public buildings after 11pm."
"Perfect" Violet cried "Sunny, can you pass me the lid of that trash can?"

The youngest Baudelaire was confused but she trusted her sister and therefore did what she was asked. Violet took the spyglass from Klaus' pocket and shone the light from behind with the lid above her head so her shadow looked as if it belonged to one of the elders.

"Who's in there?" Violet asked suddenly and the two villans rushed out of the the building.

Another note I'm sorry the invention I came up with for Violet (if you can even call it that) is complete sh*t but I couldn't think of what else to put so please forgive me and thanks for reading.
