You're wrong.

Chapter 3- (Not so) lonely night.

"Now, now children behave." Alma said with a stern voice when we were all sitting at the dining table. You sat beside Emma and Alma and were in deep conversation with Emma. You weren't really hungry -but then again were you ever?- so you hadn't taken a single bite of food.

"Is the food not to you liking?" Alma suddenly says with a concerned look on her face.

"No, it's not that. I'm just not very hungry sadly." You say smiling awkwardly. She hummed in response seeming to think something through. You decided not to intrude into her privacy and read her mind and just gave her a smile and turned back to Emma.

Once everyone was finished eating they all went to set out their plates and you followed. The children seemed very excited about something called 'the movies'. You could hardly imagine them having a new modern television, and were confused when Alma flicked of the lights. You confusion was short ridden though, as Horace took his glass to his eye and a projection began.

Right Horaces gift is to see into the future! You remind yourself in your bead. In the dream he could be seen buying clothes. They looked very... well not something the usual teenage boy would wear, but the image quickly changed. You could be seen getting run down by Hugh. It was the scene from earlier this morning. Alma came to help you and crystal appeared in the dream too. It changed again and this time Alma could be seen crying. You glanced over at the woman and she seemed to tense up a bit. By accident you read her mind.

'This is not something the children should see!' You took it she meant the crying. You looked back up to see a hand cupping her face. You noticed a ring on the hand... YOUR RING?! You didn't say as everyone thought it was just Crystal. But Alma shot you a look. She couldn't have noticed your ring... right?. The vision ended and Alma flicked on the lights.

"Reset time" she said simply turning on her heal. All of the children got up and ran outside and you followed behind. Alma handed you a gas mask confusing you deeply. You went to stand next to a kid named Jakob? Yes definitelyJakob. And he gave you a smile before putting on the mask. You did the same as a song started playing.

'Run rabbit run rabbit run run run' it stated. You  looked up and saw formations of planes fly over the house. The last plane though, was different. Why? Because it had a bomb. You subconsciously took a step back and fell to the ground and Alma's head turned. You could see she almost took a step towards you but Jakob screamed something at her and she quickly turned again.

-Alma's POV-

I seen Y/N fall out of the corner of my eye and turn around. I don't know why but my body apparently thought it was a good idea to ignore the bomb and started walking over to the girl.

"MIS PEREGRINE!" Jakob suddenly shouts and i quickly turn around and press the side of my watch and start rewinding.

'I could've killed us.' I think shocked over what i'd just done. No one except Me, Jakob, Crystal, Y/N and of course Enoch, seemed to notice the incident and walked inside carelessly. As i was on my way to Y/N someone grabbed my arm and turned me around.

"Jakob can handle her" Crystal said a bit harshly and my face accidentally grimaced.

"Now come on darling" she says pulling me into the house. Once i've tugged in all the children i enter my own room were Crystal is already ready for bed. I smile at her but that quickly changes when i see her expression.

"Is something the matter?" I ask giving her a soft smile.

"You." She says getting up and i could feel my heart sink.

"I-what?" I say confused. She's now standing before me and I am against the wall.

"I don't want you near Y/N" she says in a stern tone. I was not used to seeing her like this.

"And why is that?" I ask when i feel a slap on my cheek. My eyes shoot open and i look at her with teary eyes.

"Wha- i- Crystal!" I say tears flooding over the brim of my eyes.

"Oh darling i'm so sorry." She says cupping my cheek. With a manipulative smile.

"Remember it's just because i love you! It's for your own good" she says before walking to the bed. I nod slowly.

"For my own good" i repeat so silently I couldn't even fully hear it. I felt resistance when walking over and laying beside her but she cuddled in and everything was back to normal.

For my own good...
