Some Strange Type of Peculiar Love

Blood

Fiona's POV

Hugh carried me down the hill in his arms. I was gagging and choking but I couldn't move. Hugh eventually sat me down on a nearby bench. I sat against him and my body ached.
"Fiona, did they hurt you?" It was Miss Peregrine, she put her hands on my knees but I flinched. I looked at the ground and started to cough but I didn't want to open my mouth, I couldn't.
"Fiona?" Olive asked.
"Love, please tell me."
But now I was doubled over coughing.
"Fiona!" Hugh yelled but I couldn't breathe. Miss Peregrine ran to me and tried to open my mouth, but they were still glued shut. Enoch handed her his scalpel he used for his men and she sliced my mouth open. Jake was holding Hugh but he broke free just as my mouth opened. I coughed out blood. I tried to inhale fresh oxygen but the blood went back into my lungs. I couldn't breathe. I tried to get up but my head was spinning.
"Oh my bird! They really cut it off!"
I kept choking.
"Fee! Fee!" Hugh cried.
Then I saw black.

I woke up in a white tiled building. The lamp next to me was burning lowly but it still made my eyes hurt.
"How will she talk?" Asked a tall brown girl.
"Well she didn't really to begin with so I guess it's better her than us."
"Enoch!" Horace hissed.
"Shoo! She needs her rest." Miss Peregrine shut the door and I was alone again. I drifted back into a restless sleep.

Water. Waves. Thunder.
"Hurry! They'll kill you!"
Lightning. Kicking. Yelling.
"We have a special job for you."
Running. Lying. Hiding.
"I thought we were friends!"
Fighting. Crying. Floating.
"Please love, don't do this!"

When I woke up again my mouth tasted like blood, but this time it was worse. I moved my tongue around. Wait, how was that possible? I sat up violently and Hugh shot up, he was resting in the chair next to me. His eyes were red rimmed and blood shot.
"You're ok love, you're ok."
But I dry heaved into a dark bowl ahead of me. Hugh patted and rubbed my back.
"Shhh, shhhh, it's ok."
He handed me water and a toothbrush with toothpaste, which felt like the holy grail. I sat back with a clean minty mouth.
"How?" My voice sounded scratchy.
"There's a man here, Raphael, his peculiarity is to fix bones and regrow limbs."
I nodded.
"I'm so sorry love, I never should have left you." His eyes sparkled with tears. I patted the bed and he crawled in next to me. He smelled like Honey. I nestled into him and he kissed my head as I drifted back off to sleep.

When I woke up Hugh was snoring. Henry was flying out of his mouth and around the room.
I heard a knock at the door and Emma came in with flowers. Enoch, Horace, and Bronwyn trailed behind him. I sat up and smiled. I nudged Hugh and he stretched and kissed my head before he noticed anyone else in the room. He immediately blushed.
"Fiona!" I jumped, but it was just Millard.
"Sorry, I would have worn something nicer but they only let 5 at a time in and Hugh has been hogging you all day."
Hugh rolled his eyes.
Where was Jake?
As if she read my mind, Emma answered me,"Jake and Noor left to get her things."
I tilted my head again, Hugh says it makes me look like a dog.
"Oh! Noor is new, she's one of the seven!"
I frowned again.
"Ok so here's how it started," Horace started to talk about Caul's list, which I was painfully aware of, and talked about how 7 peculiars who were supposed to save us all. From what, I have no idea but Horace seemed to be on a tangent so I didn't interrupt.
"And we had our clocks reset! We age everyday like normals!"
I smiled and looked at them.
"Miss Peregrine says you can come home later today!" Bronwyn squeezed my hand.
"We have a new home here in the acre, but we still go to Jake's for showers and things like that."
I frowned, Jake's loop was in the present, anything later than 1940 and I'd age forward.
My skin itched and I was scratching all over.
"Don't worry, we still have a shower here. Miss bought it, but if anyone asks it doesn't exist." I nodded.
"Do you want to get cleaned up?"
I nodded.
Emma started to fill the tub with water. Bronwyn handed me a soft white towel and tan dress pants with what I think was Hugh's dark brown sweater.
"We found these at Jacob's house, I think they were his mums." I nodded.
"I think these are horse riding pants but I'm not sure." I nodded again.
Emma heated the water to where it was steaming but not boiling.
"We'll give you some privacy."
I stripped off my clothes and set them near the door. I sat in the tub and scrubbed myself clean. I used the hairbrush Emma left me to brush out all the bugs and dirt that made my hair itch. When I was satisfied with the shade of brown the water was in a climbed out and toweled off with the once white towel.
I put my hair into a bun and left a few strands to framed my face.

An hour later, I went to what my new home was. The house was crooked and overlooked dirty black water.
"Don't swim in there, Enoch got water fleas." Millard whispered. I giggled and linked arms with Hugh. Miss Peregrine opened the door just as I was.
"Miss Frauenfeld, Mr. Apiston right on time."
