My stomach wavers in my stomach as the boat goes up and down on the rough waters. I stare at a map for Cairnholm, confused. "Hey look! A peregrine falcon!" My dad yells. I look up and a bird that looks just like the one my grandpa would tell me about flies about the sky. "Hey Miss peregrine!" I yell, joking. The bird caws back as my dad looks at me concerned. "I'll be at the house later!" I smile as I look up at the bird. "Abe sent me!" I say the very last thing. The bird flies off until I can't see it anymore throughout the fog.

"You are so weird.." my dad whispers. "I was just joking! I heard there is a population of over 60 peregrine falcons" I say with a smile. "Whatever, we are here now." My day says with a sigh as the boat comes to a stop.

Fast forward to once they are in their room cuz I'm lazy

"Dad, is it fine if I go out?" I ask him as I shove my phone in my pocket. "Yea yea..just try and be back by morning, so around 10 am, latest." My Dad says as he flips through a magazine. "Thanks!" I say as I rush out, ready to find this house.

I walk exactly where my grandpa told me to, but I soon come across a mud puddle. I look at my jeans, contemplating. "Whatever.." I whisper to myself as I trudge into the mud and right back out of it. Now the bottom of my jeans are dirt brown, but who cares. Soon I look up from the grass, and see something I'd never expect.

The frame of a house that looks burnt and bombed lies right where my dad said the home is. "Ugh...I knew this wouldn't be here!" I say with a sigh as I walk around the open patch of grass. Suddenly I see a deep cavern of stone in one corner and have a flashback.

"See, now once you get there the house will be destroyed, but, there is a loop that will take you. It's in a cavern that looks like a cave, once you walk through it..you'll be in September 3rd, 1940." My grandpa told me as I looked at him amazed. "Wow...that's cool!" I say with a smile

I know exactly what I'm gonna be doing next..
