"My office is this way" Miss Raven guided, Elizabeth followed behind, they walked down a hallway, they walked to the end of the hallway and stopped in front of a brown wooden door

Miss raven opened the door to reveal her office, a brown table filled with neatly stacked papers, a big window behind it and a tall book shelf standing on the left wall

"Have a seat dear" Miss Raven said taking a seat on the chair behind the table, Elizabeth sat across the woman

"Would you like a cup of tea before we began Miss Foster?" She asked, Elizabeth shook her head

"Alright... so, what do you wish to know first?" She asked, Elizabeth took a second before answering, where should she even begin?

"Umm... what is happening? Where are we?" Elizabeth asked curious and a little exhilarated

"To put it in the simplest terms Miss Foster..." The older woman began "it was not the location that change when you entered this place, but the time.  you see... me, you, the kids here and other people around the world are what we are known as peculiar, people with special abilities, we call them peculiarities, such as yourself, but I am what is known as an ymbrine, not only I have the ability to turn into a bird, but I also have the ability to manipulate time, and with that peculiarity I can create a time loop, which preserves the last 24 hours, I reset the loop daily, and since time doesn't go forward, we don't age either, so we stay here forever" (I definitely did NOT reference this from the movie😳)

Elizabeth took at moment to let it all sink in, a time loop? Peculiars? There are more people like her?

"I knew you were a peculiar the moment you entered my loop, only peculiars can do that" Miss Raven continued with a small smile, interrupting her thoughts

"So the other two kids? They are also...peculiar?" She asked and Miss Raven nodded

"And this is a time loop? Does that mean this is no longer April?" Elizabeth asked and Miss Raven nodded

"You are correct, this time loop is set on March 30th, 1902" she told Elizabeth who leaned back on her chair a little

"...1902" she murmured in disbelief, 1902? That was nearly two centuries forward

"I don't know if I believe all of this" Elizabeth admitted "I-I mean I have heard of witch sightings and things like that before, but all this seems nearly impossible" she explained and Miss Raven nodded her head once more

"I understand how unbelievable this all sounds, it takes most of the kids some time to adjust too" she explained "but you will, and I can assure you that I will do my best to keep you safe if you decide to stay"

Elizabeth didn't say anything, all of this sounded amazing but could she really trust these people? They did safe her life but for what motive? To invite her to live here? That seemed a bit too unrealistic

"You don't have to answer right away, how about I call Miss Stager and she can show you around and introduce you to everyone else?" The woman offered, Elizabeth smiled even though she didn't really know who she was talking about

"Yes, If that is alright" she answered with a nod
