You're wrong.

Chapter 2- Confusion strikes.

"I- how do you" Alma says but you cut her off.

"My grandma told me a lot of stories... her name was Amber? She said she knew an Ymbryne on Cairnholm" you say The woman's faces clearing up in understanding.

"You're Ambers granddaughter?" Alma asks after a long moment of silence.

"Yes" you say with a smile. Though it fades.

"So she's passed" Alma says and when you look up you see your expression on her face. Sorrow.

"How did you?" You ask.

"I know that if Amber were alive, she would have said you were coming..." she says wiping away a tear.

"Who's Amber?" Her wife cuts in, very unsentimentally. It bothered you just a little but you shook it off.

"She was a very dear friend of mine" Alma says and Crystal hugs her. Though it doesn't seem like she's doing it for Alma, but more for herself.

No let it slide Y/N. You thought and smile at the two. When you reach the cozy little library and head inside Alma introduces you to everyone and they invite you to the home. Your grandma had always wanted you to see it and it didn't take too long before you agreed to coming along. The girl named Emma was walking beside you and talked about how much you would love the home. You gave her a smile and before you knew it you were at the house. The way there had been... a tad bit weird but of course they couldn't have people seeing them. Alma smiled back at you making your cheeks heat up just the slightest bit. What the hell?! Why was your stomach doing flips!?... you shake off the feeling and get a whole tour of the house. Once you had managed to sneak away to get... just a little bit of quiet. You saw a room you hadn't been in. You knocked and were surprised when you got a hum as response. You opened the door and saw a boy sitting at a table holding a... heart?!

"Who are you" he says sharply when he can't recognise you.

"I'm Y/N. Al- Miss peregrine brought me with..." you say quickly correcting the mistake of calling her by her first name. He nods slowly and but he seems to be a bit suspicious still.

"What are you working on?" You ask mostly out of curiosity.

"Oh. This is my peculiarity" he says and demonstrates.
Well that explains his personality too... you thought and give him a smile.

"You're quite good at it" you say and he nods the tiniest smile on his lips.

"Don't worry i'll leave you be now" you say as you knew he probably wanted to be alone with his thoughts and... hearts. He thanks you and goes to close the door behind you.

"So you already know what your Peculiarity is?" Crystal asks.

"Yes, i can read minds, or if i'm holding a persons hand share my thoughts or let them hear other's" you say and Alma looks impressed.

"How did you figure that out?" She asks genuinely curious.

"Well it gets hard to control whenever i feel... a string emotion" you say, which wasn't a complete lie. Alma nods seeming to understand and Crystal rolls her eyes.

'Dear god, will someone rid me from this one' you read her mind and feel a bit hurt. Maybe you should go.

"Will you be staying tonight?" Alma asks and you nod.
Wait what now? You think as you hadn't planned to stay.

"If it's not too sudden, that is?" You say carefully.

"I wouldn't be asking if it was" Alma says smiling at you softly.

"Right, sorry." You say looking down.

"No need to apologise dear" she says placing a hand on your shoulder. When did she walk over? You shot Crystal a quick glance and she did NOT seem happy! You focus on Alma again and your nerves ease a little. This is okay. It's just one night after all...
