BRAVE | BEAUTIFUL

BRAVE
You stare in terror at the shadow around you and Enoch. You turn calculating when the hollow will strike.

It lunges and you yank Enoch out the way. "Enoch we have to run!" You scream. He is paralyzed in the face of the monster that killed his best friend.

You pull him, running towards the house. Your peculiarity, brown tawny wings that can lift you high above the clouds will not work in this weather.

The rain is merciless, soaking you, your wings and Enoch. Your wings weigh you down, making it harder for you to run.

"Come back little peculiars! Free my friend of this accursed form!" The wight cackles.

The hollow lunges towards Enoch and you make a split second decision. You throw him out the way and the hollow rips into your leg. It's tongue leaves a large open wound in your thigh.

You scream and flap your wings, giving both you and Enoch a boost. You fall into the bog. You run to the edge, Enoch ready to climb out. "No! We'll lead it right to the Loop! We have to trick it!" You hiss.

You wait, please fall for it, you pray. It does. It steps into the bog, in the wrong place. Then you both run out at the hollow struggles to free itself.

"Take your shoes off!" You scream. Both off you kick your shoes off and take off again. The branches of trees and rough surfaces cut you, making the thigh wound hurt more but you keep running.

Then you run through the Loop and you and Enoch race into the house. "You were so BRAVE." He sobs.

You smile at him, cradling the wound on your leg. "You were too. Now get Miss Peregrine, I need her help with my leg."

BEAUTIFUL
You frown. The scar is hideous. It stretches from your mid thigh all the way to your mid calf, pulling the skin and distorting it hideously.

You shiver and sigh, walking to Bronwyn's room. "Wyn, can I borrow a pair of pants from you?" She comes out, looking very stern. "Don't try to hide your scar Y/N. It has a wonderful and selfless story behind it." Bronwyn says, placing her lightly tanned hands on your sloping shoulders.

"I don't want to scare the kids." You lie. She nods, grabbing a pair of brown pants and tossing them to you. "Enjoy life without the constrains of a dress!" She laughs.

You chuckle before pulling the pants on, walking down to the dinner table. Bronwyn's pants are a little loose on you, she is quite curvy after all.

Enoch looks away, feeling guilty. If he had not snuck out you wouldn't have a limp and a scar.

"It's alright Enoch. I was meant for the sky." You joke, shaking out your wings. "Miss L/N wings are to be closed when we are dining." You let out a surprised squawk, not realizing Miss Peregrine was there.

You and Enoch share a soft laugh before he slowly moves his hand to the spot where the scar is, then he moves his hand to your heart.

"BEAUTIFUL."
