Millard Nullings: Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children

Part 17

Dozens and dozens of glistening jars were what the room held. They were filled with glittering colored spheres, and were swimming with beautiful colored vapors that took different shapes.

Jamie ran back to the holding cells to get the others, and the other peculiars soon ran into the jar-filled room.

Each jar had a label on it. Millard walked around, and found one with his own name on it. It read "Millard Nullings ~ Invisibility" He started to open it, but Gideon took his hand off of it.

"What are you doing?" He said, annoyed.

"I want to get a picture, so no one forgets what you look like. Say cheese!" He said cheerily.

Gideon took several pictures, some of Millard, some of Alice, some of Millard and Alice, and some of the jars around the room.

"Why take pictures of the jars?" Fabian asked.

"They're pretty." Gideon replied simply.

Gideon stopped taking pictures, and walked over to his jar. Fabian's was right next to it, as they were in alphabetical order. They took the jars.

"Ready, Giddy?" Fabian said enthusiastically.

"As ready as I'll ever be." he sighed.

They opened the jars together. Gideon had a dark red sphere with black vapor, and Fabian had a blue orb with white vapor. The orbs shot into the two boys as the vapor went around them. They had regained their peculiarities. Fabian once again had his healthy glow, and Gideon regained his on-the-brink-of-death look about him.

Jamie's peculiarity looked very similar to Gideon's. He had a bright red orb, and vapor-spiders lingered around him once he opened his own jar. Once his peculiarity had settled, spiders came pouring out of the walls to greet him. Millard, personally, wouldve cried being covered in that many spiders, but Jamie was beaming.

Alice's peculiarity was gorgeous- a deep purple orb, and violet colored vapor. He took one last look at her, and she opened her jar. After the smoke had dissolved, she tested her forcefields. They worked wonderfully, as demonstrated by the rain of spiders Jamie poured down on her, much like the day they all had flaunted their abilities.

The rest of Miss Peregrine's, and Miss Bluefoot's children regained their peculiarities. Millard had been entranced by the beautiful smoke that the others had around them, he didnt realise that he hadn't yet gotten his invisibility back.

He was the last of them to open his jar, and everyone noticed. They all took one last look, and Gideon took yet even more pictures of him.

Millard walked back over to his jar. It was a beautiful white orb with icy blue smoke flowing around it. The smoke formed a small person, but it soon disappeared to represent his invisibility. He took one last look at his hands, and opened the jar.

The orb shot out of the jar, and smoke swirled around him. The orb dissolved into his chest, and a warm sensation flowed from his heart, and through his veins. As the warmth went through his body, his invisibility was regained. Once the feeling stopped, and the smoke blew away, Millard looked at himself, and saw nothing but his clothing.

He smiled a smile that no one could see.

He was peculiar again.
