" Nathalie! Dear, say hello to Miss Peregrine." Ms. Owl introduced the peregrine falcon to the white haired girl. The girl was looking down to the floor as she fiddled with her black gloves, somewhat similar to what olive has.

" Hello Ms. Frost." Ms. Peregrine smiled at her. Nathalie looked at her and smiled. She looks like she was about 16 or 17 but she was really a hundred years old.

" Hello Ms. Peregrine... Lovely to meet you.." She timidly replied. Little frosts were forming at her arms and disappeared.

" Are you ready to go?" Ms. Peregrine asked. Nathalie nodded and grabbed her small suitcase that contain her little belongings.

" Bye Ms. Owl.. Thank you for having me here." She thanked the other ymbryne and left.

" Ms. Peregrine... Where is your loop located?" She asked.

" It is located in an island called Cairnholm" Ms. Peregrine replied as she looked straight ahead. They arrived at the island and Nathalie saw no one. Houses were small and it was cold but it didn't bother her. It never did.

They went inside a dark cave and at the other end was a beautiful mansion with a large pond and trees.

" Welcome to my loop Ms. Frost." Ms. Peregrine smiled at her.

They stop at the door of the mansion and the feeling of nervousness went back to Nathalie.

" Something wrong dear?" Ms. Peregrine asked, feeling something wrong with the pale girl.

" W- what if t-they don't l-like m-m- me..." She stuttered as frost starts to appear at her feet.
" They will love you dear." Ms. Peregrine assured. She smiled and opened the door.

" Children, we have a guest.." Ms. Peregrine called and 13 children came down.

They all introduced themselves one by one.

Abe could see the monsters or the hollows.

Emma is lighter than air.

Hugh has bees living in his stomach.

Bronwyn and Victor are as strong as ten men.

The twins are gorgons.

Fiona can grow plants by will.

Milliard is invisible, Nathalie found very amusing that he was nude the whole time.

Claire is a cute little girl with a backmouth

Horace can have prophetic dreams.

They all were very lovely except for one...

" He's Enoch.. Don't mind him, he's always like this." Hugh said. Nathalie nodded but still stared at the boy.

He had a mop of curly brown hair on top of his head. Almost all of his clothes were either brown or grey and he was carrying a jar with a heart.

" So, Nathalie what's your peculiarity.?" Horace asked. She shifted uncomfortably and looked at Miss Peregrine who nodded encouragingly at her.

" Uhm.. I can do this.." Nathalie opened her palm and mini snowflakes appeared, swirling around. All stared at awe but she closed her palm and took a deep breath. Miss Peregrine smiled and looked at her watch.

" Alright children, time for dinner." They all went back inside to get ready. Olive and Emma took Nathalie to a spare room and smiled.

"You're going to love it here!" Emma smiled. Nathalie smiled back but can't help but wander her thoughts to the boy with Jar Of Hearts.
