Fiona

The next day came and I was curios about the new kid, Jacob who is coming later today. I say goodbye to Emma as she leaves the time loop and into the present. I never wanted to go into the present because why would I want to be called a "freak " or "monster". I'd rather stay here with people like me.
I haven't seen Hugh all day but I take it as nothing serious. I have breakfast. That's when I remember that Emma had to make breakfast. Me being so selfless I fill in for her. I can see Bronwyn making some pancakes, Millard is making orange juice, and Enoch is slicing fruit. I can see out of the corner of my eye that Millard is facing me. Well I wasn't sure, maybe he hat was facing the wrong way.
I finish up Emma's task and go get the table ready. Hugh is suppose to be here by now he's always one of the first to wake up. Olive comes floating down the stairs holding onto Claire's hand. Claire is holding Olive down. Then Horace follows next and then I hope maybe Hugh slept in. I go to check his room. Empty. I go check the garden, oak tree, and a spot in the middle of the Forrest. Also empty. I think " Dang It! Hugh went with Emma." I back inside the house and hope the best for Hugh.
After breakfast I went to the opening of the time loop waiting for a boy with bees circling him appears.

Hugh

I left with Emma after persuading her. I took me an hour or two. I couldn't wait to meet this new person from the present. I wondered if he was peculiar or not. Then the thought of Fiona came out of the blue. I thought of her worrying about me. I didn't want her to come into present so she could get hurt. I was battling myself to decide: should I stay or go back?
We got back to the house, in present time, and we heard foot steps in the basement. I looked at it hard and noticed all the marks, broken wood pieces, and a huge chunk of the house missing.
We look down a hole where there used to be a book shelf and a couch. We look down and see a boy. Emma says "Abraham" He looks up and I really couldn't hear what he said. Emma started running and I followed behind. I asked her "what happened?why are we running?" She says "he saw me. he isn't Abraham". We run back into the time loop the boy following behind.
When we get back I can see Millard studying some pigs and Emma runs towards him. I don't stop and run towards the orphanage. Not looking back.
When I get back I can see Fiona at the garden like always. I tap her shoulder and she looks back at me.

I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn back to see Hugh, he's huffing hinting he was running. I had mixed emotions of anger, relief, worry, and confusion. He says "sorry I didn't tell you in the morning about going with Emma" I say "it's okay you only scared me half to death" with a giggle. He laughs back at me sitting beside me. I put my attention back on the flowers and crops.

Hugh

I can hear Emma coming and she has the new boy next to her. He was about my height. He had black hair, he looked weak, and had under eye bags. I thought "did Emma just bring a normal person here". She goes to miss peregrine. I don't follow knowing it's none of my concern. Right now my concern is Fiona.

I take a glance at the new kid. My parents were strict and taught me that staring was rude. But when I was with Hugh none of that mattered.
We walk to a nearby river. When we get there Hugh throws and skips rocks across it. I blocked one of his throws with a Lilly pad. He threw a rock at the stem and the Lilly pad sank. I elbow him on the arm. He stay there until dinner ignoring Jacob.
