*ON HOLD* The Voice {Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children}

Chapter 1

3 Jan 2016
This was it. Today was the day that Eliza and her family had been waiting for, they would be going on their first cruise. Of course the Keens were excited, ever since Eliza's Mum left them for unknown reasons there was never much time or money for them to go on a holiday.
Eliza would most definitely love to say she was an only child in her family but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Eliza's older brother Ezra was the star of the family. Always scores the most goals in soccor, best player in his basketball team, whatever he did he was amazing at it, except that he couldn't sing. Their dad Craig loved how Ezra was always the sports star but absolutely hated how all Eliza would do was read and sing.

"Hurry up Ellie and get in the car, we're going to be late!" Craig called from the driveway, "Coming Dad, just need to grab my phone charger!" I called back a little frustrated. I ran out and called Shot gun but since Ezra can run faster than me he got there first. The car trip was a major blur, just me reading nonsense books and listening to music.

Finally! We made it to the docks and just in time, departure was in 13 minutes so we grabbed our bags and did a light jog tawards the entry ramp, once we handed in our tickets and got our room numbers dad turned to me a said "Ezra and I have a room together on the bottom floor and you have one on the 2nd floor, is that alright?" 

"Yeah of course!" I lied, it would've been better if we were next to eachother but that fine. Whats done is done.

Now that i had found my room I decided to get changed into my swimmers and go hang by the pool and maybe swim. Once i got to the pool i realised that the cruise had officially left the harbour so it must've taken at least 20 mintes for me to find my room. 

I slipped in the pool and began to swim around. I could feel eyes burning in the back of my head so I turned around and saw a lady with sunglasses on just staring at me. I was pretty creeped out so i got out and dried off, after i was dry it was about 5:30 pm so i headed to check my restaurant selection, the first one i see is a salad bar, I almos broke into a sprint thats how happy i was, I ordered a chicken ceaser salad. Damn wasnt that delicious.

After I payed I began to head to the exit and I saw, in the corner of my eye, that weird woman from the pool sitting at a table still wearing her sunnies and may i add still staring at me.

As I'm travelling down the the 2nd floor hallway I fall, landing with a big loud thump, i turn to see what i tripped over and it just so happened to be a book titled 'Tales of the Peculiar' I looked around to see who could've dropped it but there was no longer anyone else left in my hallway, so I just picked it up and took it too my room to read tomorrow. When I get into my room i put my favourite playist on spotify on called 'Forever alone' after a few minutes darkness consumed me and I was alseep.

Running, running, running, thats all I am doing. Sprinting now, I didnt even know I could run this fast, but there was a reason I wasn't just running, I was running from someone. As i turn around i see a man chasing me with dead white eyes, they were lifeless. He was also holding a gun aiming it at my head and.... *BANG*
I wake in my bed sweating and breathing heavily. "It's just a dream Ellie, just a dream" I had to keep telling myself.
All of a sudden I'm swaying side to side again and again then a super loud thunder crack This could be bad.

I sprint down the stairs to the main deck and the weather is wild out here, I could barely stand up on my two feet. When all of a sudden I hear a worried scream, I rush over to my left to where I heard it. "Whats wrong?" I yell over the pelting rain. "My daughter she fell in, shes not a strong swimmer, she won't make it!"
"I'll go get a team member"
"NO PLEASE JUST WAIT HERE AND WATCH HER WHILE I GET THE CREW MEMBER!"
"Okay." I managed to say. Wait wasnt that the creepy woman with the sunnies on??
I turn to call to her but as a turn she grabs me with a force so powerful not even a grizzly bear could break the grasp of her, then out of my suprise I'm falling, falling and I keep falling until i feel slap on my back and the last thing I see is her taking her glasses off revealing deathly white eyes like the man in my dream.

Then darkness consumed me and I was out cold.
