  Enoch:

I woke up, getting ready quickly, to go greet Azeril, as I opened her door I noticed nobody in there. I looked around the room, then I noticed one of her books out of place. I opened it.

  To Enoch:

  I know this letter will find you. I'll be back, I promise. There's business I wanted to take care of with that Hallow. I talked to Emma and Abe, they've told me how to kill it. I will be back for you, Enoch, I promise. Killing this Hallow is important to me. Make sure nobody knows about this. Please.
  My love,
Azeril

  I growled in rage, throwing the book. Why did she go? She knew she'd die. Why? Tears started streaming down my cheeks, I locked her door and sat on her bed, wishing she was here. I may have not known her for long, but I've started to fancy her. For she didn't fear my peculiarity.

  Azeril:

I found him. The hallow. It was close to the loop entrance. I could feel it's presence. I yelled out for it, then heard it start running. I took the dagger I brought, cutting my leg, then looking into the direction of the noise, hearing a shriek. It worked. Then, one grabbed me from behind.

  I used the dagger to cut the tentacle that held me than ran back into the loop, hoping the last one ran off. I was wrong. It grabbed my foot, cutting my chest. I screamed in pain, then tried to transfer the pain to the hallow, but I could only get a little bit of it to go, for I was week. I stood up, trying to run, screaming for Enoch. He's the only one I felt I could call to.

  Enoch:

  I heard a fuss downstairs. I stood on the stairs, listening. "There's a hallow out there!" It was Abe's voice. "It's chasing someone."

  Azeril.  I took off past them, running towards the loop entrance, seeing her run towards me. "Azeril!"

  "Enoch, r-run!" she was picked up, screaming. I ran after her, screaming, for help. 

  Abe, Emma, and Miss Peregrine were running towards us, kids following after them.

  Azeril:

   I was gasping for air, cuts all over me, I slide the dagger into what has ahold of me, then fall to the ground. I wheeze, trying to stand back up. Then I hear a voice, "Enoch! Get back," then it all went black.

  I woke up to Enoch's angry voice. "Why? Why did they tell you that you could kill it. You almost died. What's their problem?"

  I opened my eyes, seeing tears stream down his face, "E-enoch?" I gasp, trying to catch my breath.

  "Azeril, shush," he came over beside me, "you're gonna hurt yourself trying to talk, damnit."

  Victor came into the room, "How is she?"

  "Fine, she's awake," Enoch growled.

  Victor ran over to me, placing a hand on my cheek, "I'm glad you're okay, you really scared me."

  "She's fine Victor, get out of her face." Enoch snapped, envy overtaking him.

  Victor sent a scowl over to Enoch, storming out of the room.

  "You feeling okay, Azeril?" Enoch asks.

  I nod, coughing. "Why w-was you being me-mean to him?"

  I noticed him avoiding the question, as he sat next to me. "Not many people like my peculiarity. They think it's scary," he sighs, looking at me.

  "I'm mean to everyone, because it's harder to hurt who's heartless," he took in a shaky breath, "you're, you're different. You gave me a chance."

"I see the good in you, Enoch," I whispered.

"Why?" He snapped. "Why do you look for good in me?"

"You have trouble seeing it," I said, watching the door as Victor walked in.

"Hey, am I interrupting anything?" He smirked at Enoch, envy filling his eyes.

Enoch's and my face went red, "No," Enoch said, standing up, "I'll go get you breakfast."

Victor sat by me, smiling. "Azeril, I want you to leave the loop with me."

My eyes widened, "We could have a life together. I fancy you, Azeril."

Enoch:

I heard the final words. They rang in my ears. We could have a life together. I fancy you. I couldn't hear her answer. He knows I fancy her! What does he mean 'we could have a life together?' Rage filled me as I thew the tray of food on the floor, and took off to my room. I heard a muffled yell out of Azeril's room. I ignored it. It got louder "E-Enoch!"

I jumped up, crossing the hall, standing at the door. I wiped the tears from my eyes, then opened the door. Victor's eyes filled with rage as he threw shit around. Miss Peregrine appeared behind me, clearing her throat, causing him to stop. "Victor. Cone with me. Enoch, clean this mess up. She turned around to have the children follow her.

I sat by her, I looked at the scratch on her face. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, thank you." Tears slid down her cheeks. "He hates me..."

I started to get angry, "He said he fancied you! Also that you guys could have a life together," I yelled.

"I don't fancy him! I didn't want to leave with him either," she yelled back.

My face got red in embarrassment, "O-oh. What do you mean by leave?"

"He wants to leave the loop, Enoch." She sobbed, "He doesn't like it here."

Victor opened the door, looking at Azeril. "I'm sorry, Azeril."

I shoved him into the wall, my accent getting thicker with rage, "What's yer problem? Tryin' to leave the damn loop? Ye saw what happened to 'er. I mean look at 'er!" I stared at her blood stained rags on her chest, and cuts all over her body. Tears fell down my face.

  "We almost l-lost her, Victor."

  "That's her own fault," I cut him off with a punch. I heard kids gathering around the door listening. I felt a fist touch my face but no pain, I looked at Azeril, who whimpered. He punched again while I was looking at Azeril, that one made her yelp.

  "Stop, Vic," I gasped, "You're hurting her!"

  He looked at her, then scowled, "I'm leaving Enoch."

  "V-vic no," I heard Azeril wheeze.

  "You can come with me Azi," he held out his hand, but she didn't take it.

  "Go." I said, Victor stared at me, "Get out!" I threw a book off the shelf at him.

Victor walked out the room.

Hope you all enjoyed! :)
