Miss Peregrine's Never

2. A New Home?

Brandy's pov:

I sat down on the couch. I was anxious as I waited for Miss Peregrine . Soon she came in and sat down next to me.

"You not in trouble my child." Miss Peregrine said

I breathed a sigh of relief..

"But there is something I need to discuss with you. I'm sure you've been wondering why Horace had that dream about you last night..."  Miss Peregrine went silent for a moment to let me take it all in...

"Tomorrow night, you will be traveling to your new school. They will teach so much more about your peculiarity: controlling it, channeling it, and learning about magic...all your life you've had to wear rubber gloves to keep your flames at bay, but,you have so much more potential inside of you..
It's called The School for Good and Evil. Which school you'll be placed in I cannot say, that is up to the headmaster to decide..." Miss Peregrine said.

My mind was racing. All I've ever know is wearing these long gloves to protect others from my flames, and whatever I touch catches on fire no matter what. I started crying softly and hugged Miss Peregrine. She was the only mother I knew. And the rest of the children here are like my brothers and sisters. Yes we've argued and tried to almost kill each other more than one occasion, but we love and look out for each other...

Miss Peregrine pulled me in close and held me tightly ...

"Will I ever return here? Surely this isn't goodbye forever?" I asked .

"I'm sure eventually you will return here, but who knows, we might move into a bigger and better house by the time you come visit ..." Miss Peregrine said.

I'll never get tired of sharing a room with Emma... not to mention Hugh and Horace jumping on their beds till midnight, and Enoch snoring like an old cave troll... and I can't forget about Claire and Bronwyn . They always come running into mine/Emmas room anytime there is a thunderstorm...... of course, Enoch has always been the world's heaviest sleeper... I remember one time Emma took off one of her metal boots and slammed it onto Enoch's bed frame. It made a loud thump noise but Enoch still slept through it!!! Lastly are the twins... they have their own language. They understand English extremely well. But it's like they are one person spit into two halves...

"It would be nice to have my own room..." I said, drying my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt...

"Will I be taking a car to get to the school? It sounds far away?"

Ms Peregrine chucked...

"A giant bird made of bones and old branches will come and scoop you up. From there your adventure awaits! Miss Peregrine said.

I heard the word bird and thought of all the other ymbrines, including Miss Peregrine!!!

"Is the big bird like one of your long lost cousins or something? What type of bird is it?" I curiously asked.

"No ,it is not an ymbrine... it is unlike any other bird I've heard of... they are extremely rare, and I've only heard of them taking children to the school... " Peregrine said.

How incredible ! A big bird made of bones and twigs, and it has the ability to fly like a regular bird! How does it know the way to the school? How does it know where I am? How old are the birds? Does it have a name? What does it eat?

So many question plagued my mind. After I finished talking with Miss Peregrine she sent off to bed. I told Emma , Miss Peregrine just wanted to check in on me... nothing fancy. I didn't want her to know I was going to be leaving tomorrow night...

I didn't sleep very well... but eventually I drifted off into a deep sleep...
