"There's no point of waiting, JJ. No one is gonna come and help us."
She wasn't wrong. How would they know to help?
They were just awaiting the time for their loop to close.

"Someone's coming. I can feel it."
"Your powers are time jumping, not future telling." She reminded the boy.

"And yours are telekinesis. You could've used it to save Anna." Of course, he blamed her.
"You know, I would never have been strong enough for that."

"You could've tried."

She should've tried.

"Just stop!" Harper stood up quickly.
Just as she was about to defend herself, a bird flew through the slightly opened window.

"I told you to close the windows!" Jj raised his voice.
"Oh, sorry, I'm not a big fan of the smell of bloody death!" She shouted.

Just then, the bird morphed into a lady.
"Children, please."
The lady sighed before speaking again.

"My name is Miss Peregrine. I'm an Ymbryne, and I see that you children see having some problems." She looked around at the broken glass and blood.

"Yeah... Pretty neato, right?" She joked.
Joking was better than crying to some stranger.

"Your loop closes in 7 hours, and 26 seconds. Make that 25. If you want to make it to my loop in time, we best be leaving now."

Ymbrynes and their time checking, am I right?

"How far is your loop?" Jj asked.
"6 hours and 46 minutes.
Travelling from Glasgow to Cairnholm we will need to take a boat."

"That's a bummer. Jj gets boat sick." Jj glares at the girl.
"I'll be fine."
"If we leave within the next 5 minutes we will just make it." Miss Peregrine whips out a pocket watch.
"Pack lightly."

The two quickly ran to their rooms to grab all they needed.

Harper grabbed her cassette taps, player, and headphones.

She picked up a few outfits, and shoes and then quickly grabbed her toothbrush. 
She quickly sped and walked downstairs, jumping at the last step.

"Perfect timing. Are you both ready?"
"Mhm!"

"Splendid. Let's go."

"The children in my loop are very welcoming and kind." Miss Peregrine reassured.
"All of them?" Jj asked.

"Well, Enoch can be a little distant and sharp but I'm sure he'll warm to you both." She was almost a great liar.

Harper kicked some stones as she walked up the pathway.

In modern times it was 2014.

"So what's the year in your loop?" Harper asked.
"1943."
The girl hisses. "Dangerous year."
