The First Time I Saw You

Chapter 7

As we finish eating...I volunteer to wash the dishes.

And while I'm washing the dishes Horace is on the kitchen too,helping me.

He doesn't want to make me suffer or get tired.

"Horace,thanks for helping me washing the dishes,and for waiting me,I hope I didn't make you bored", I said as we finish washing and I rub my hands on the kitchen towel.

" you're always welcome,and don't worry,I never get bored ever since,so let's go!its movie time",Horace said and hold my hand and we headed to the living room.

I feel so awkward about walking to the living room while we holding hands but,I just think that this have no meaning,we are just friends.

"Look!Horace really love Ashlyn,he never let Ashlyn to get tired washing the dishes and never been alone", Millard said as we reach the living room.

He is with brownwyn,Fiona,Hugh,Claire and the twins.

" oh!so sweet",Claire said while holding both of her hands.

And I just realize Horace and I still holding each others hands,so I quickly let go of his hand.

"This is the first time we see Horace been in love", Fiona said.

" tsk,just stop all of you,its not funny",Horace said and sit on the chair that is on the center facing the clear part of the wall.

"As if we are telling a joke", Hugh said and they all laugh.

" Millard,go tell the others its movie time",miss peregrine order Millard as she arrive at the living room.

And she is pipping a pipe.

"Yes,miss peregrine", Millard said and he stand up.

" guys!!!its movie time!!!",Millard shout as he reach the door.

We all laugh.

"Ash,come and sit here,beside Claire", Horace said while he is cleaning some small glass on his clothes.

I node,and sit beside Claire.

Claire quickly grab my hand and hug it.

" you are such a sweet girl",I said and smile to her,she's cute.

"Thanks", she answered.

" Millard,its not a good manner to yell just to call them,they are just on the other room,no need to yell",miss peregrine corrected Millard as he came back sitting beside brownwyn.

"I'm sorry miss peregrine", he said and we all laugh.

And suddenly Emma and Jake enter the door and sit on the other chair.Olive followed by Enoch.

" what are you guys doing there?",Millard ask the 4 new comers.

"None of your business", Enoch answers expressionless,and sit beside brownwyn.

" miss peregrine,look On Enoch's attitude",Millard yell

"Stop murmuring,Millard", Horace said and put the tiny glass that he is wheaping earlier to his eyes and a light came out of his eyes toward the clear wall,and an image have made.

" this is what we call a movie,ash",Olive said.

I just nodd and watch Horace projection.

It was a man,a white eye man,he is talking to another white eye man.

"Mr.Barron", Fiona said while sitting on the floor beside Hugh.

Who is Mr.Barron?

Horace projection,the man laugh an both stand up." We will meet this kid someday",the white eye man said to his companion.

"She is a very help on our plan,surely did well,A triculiar kid will help much", his companion said and they all laugh and walk out of the door.

" triculiar?what is it miss peregrine?",Fiona ask.

"And Mr.Barron is planning something horrible again?", Millard said.

" shut up!maybe Horace is just having a bad dream,remember,not all of Horace dreams come true",Hugh said.

"But we don't know if it is true too", brownwyn said.

Miss peregrine turn on the light on the living room.

" this is now for today Horace,thank you",miss peregrine said and Horace quickly get the tiny glass on his eyes.

"But miss peregrine,whats triculiar?", Fiona ask.

" a triculiar,it is having a 3 peculiarity in one person only,she is very powerful,and yet dangerous if she is used by the bad ones",miss peregrine explain.

"So Mr.Barron and the others planning to make a horrible thing again,and this time,they're using a triculiar child?", Enoch said.

This is the first time I've heard Enoch concern voice.

" I guess,it is",miss peregrine answer sadly.

"So we are in trouble again,all of us", Olive said.

" no,triculiar child is not true,many people said he/she doesn't exist,he/she is impossible to be,it was said that one child could only have only one peculiarity,that's what he's/her body could control,so we are not really in danger",Emma said.

"You are right,Emma but,a triculiar child really exist,but he is already dead", miss peregrine said.

" and who is it,miss peregrine?",Claire ask.

"And why did he died?", I ask.

" he was Clinton Wood,he died million and thousand years ago,he was a triculiar child,and just like what Emma said,a triculiar child is impossible cause hes body can't control all he's three peculiarity,he's body can't take the pressure and pain that he will suffer while using he's peculiarity",tell miss peregrine.

"Is it a triculiar ability inborn or develop?",Emma ask.

" on Clinton's case,it was develop,he develop it because he suffer depression and loneliness",miss peregrine said.

"So you mean,at first,Mr.Clinton is just an ordinary peculiar child and suddenly became a triculiar", I said.

" yes,you're right Ashlyn",miss peregrine said.

"How many peculiarity can the body control miss peregrine?", Olive ask.

" 2 peculiarities,that's the maximum,and normal",miss peregrine said.

"But I  believe,there is no triculiar child in this time,cause Mr.Clinton is already dead,where could Mr.Barron find that one", Emma added.

" I don't know  Emma,but now,we have to be careful",miss peregrine said.

Claire hug my arms very tightly,maybe she's scared.

"Don't worry Claire,I'm here", I whisper to her and she smiled,a smile with fear.

" forget about that,now its time for a reset of the loop",miss peregrine said and we all stand up,and head outside the house.
