miss Peregrine x female reader

chapter 1

I groaned as sunlight shown through the slight crack in the curtains, directly shining towards my eyes. That was my que to get up. I sat up in my bed very excited about the day ahead of me. My brother was still at therapy so I had the house to myself for a while. I got up and put some black shorts and a baggy T-shirt on. I decided I could sit outside for a while so that is what I did. I went outside and sat on a chair that was on the porch. A bird landed on the arm rest. It stared at me and my gaze met the birds gaze. I reached my hand out to pet it but then a car horn startled me from doing so. The bird fell and almost landed on the ground until I caught it. I ran my hand through it's feathers and it called out happily. My father opened the door to the porch and walked over to sit beside me. The bird didn't realize this because I was still petting her. "Seems like your going crazy just like grandfather layla. " My father said and the bird looked at him, rage filling into the birds eyes. It then flew away and I looked at my father. The bird landed on a branch and started listening. "And so what if I am?" I said "I would rather be like grandfather then you!" And with that I stood up and walked inside. I went to my room and sat on my bed. My window was open and the bird landed on the windowsill. I smiled and looked at it. "Why hello there" I ran my hand through it's feathers and it chirped happily. I then remembered I had a book about birds sitting on one of my shelves. "Now let's see what kind of bird you are shall we?" I said and then walked over to one of the shelves, pulling a book down and flipping through it. I smiled at what I found "amazing! A peregrine falc-" I looked at the window and saw that the bird was gone. I made a 'tch' sound and closed the book. My mother yelled for me telling me it was dinner time. Out flight to cairnholm tomorrow was in the morning so I had to pack everything tonight. I sat down beside my brother and a bird flew in landing on a shelf. My mother screamed and yelled at my dad to get it out. "FRANKLIN GET IT OUT!!!" she screeches. My dad grabbed a towel and reached for it but the bird scratched him across his eye.

~time skip to tomorrow~

I woke up the next morning and put my clothes on. The flight took about 2 hours along with a 1 hour taxi ride. The ferry ride took about 45 minutes. Once we got to cairnholm me and Jacob asked my dad if we could go exploring. Exploring meaning finding the children's home. It took some persuading but eventually he said yes. It took some walking but we found it. I frowned at the sight of the house. I then looked at Jacob "I'm going to go look for loop entrances you go see if anyone is inside the house" I said and Jake nodded. I found a cavern and ran to tell Jake. Once I ran to him I started feeling weird. "Layla?..is everything alright?..you look irritated.." Jacob said. "J,Jacob I..I need to show you something.." I said and he nodded. I turned into a bird and his eyes widened. I turned back into my human state and looked at him. "Wow! What kind of bird was that!?" He said amazed. "A hummingbird! But come here I found something else!" I ran away and he ran after me. I pointed at a cave and we went inside. We went through the cave and what we saw was unbelievable. The sky was clear and it was absolutely sunny. I shook it off and looked at Jacob. "Go scout around and I'll see if I can find the headmistress." I said and he walked off with a simple nod. I shifted and flew up and then saw a house. I flew over to it and smelled the smell of tabacco. I flew over to where it was coming from and then I landed on a branch. That's when I saw her. Miss alma Peregrine reading to her children. Once she was finished the children ran off to play and our gazes met. The branch was hanging low enough to where miss Peregrine could touch me. She smiled and walked over to me. She held her hand out and I happily landed on her finger. The children saw and ran over almost instantly. "Woah!"one said. It was a little girl with blonde hair in curls. "Is that a normal bird?" Asked another. I looked down at her feet and saw metal shoes. Miss Peregrine shook her head. "I believe it's an ymbrane of some sort." She said. The children's eyes glew with amazement except for one boys.eyes. I looked at the boy and flew over to him. He looked at me with an expressionless gaze. A bird flew by. It was an eagle. It grabbed me and started flying away. I escaped it's grip and flew back to the group. My wing was slightly hurt so I flew slowly, then I heard a yell. It came from my brother. I made a chirp sound and flew to the source of the sound. I saw someone burning his arm and I pecked them in the eye. The girl covered her eye and burned my wing. I made a screech sound and flew over the the group again. Jacob yelled my name and everyone surely heard and looked at me. I shifted to human form and looked at my arm. She had gotten that to. I frowned and miss Peregrine walked towards me, startled by her actions I backed away then passed out because of the heat from the burn going through my body.
