Note: Does anyone remember my OC, Kate...idk what to use her as, I have an idea but it might be to complicated to understand. This chapter is probably going to be useless as well since I rushed it. I am excited to write this other part of the story that I've been planning in my head but it'll be like wayyy later on :] Also the chapter after next chapter will be when Miss P wakes up cause idk what to write without her

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Third Person POV~

Derek called for Caul and Jake, guiding them to a another room while the other children surrounded their headmistress. "Have any of you seen a bullet like this? I doubt it's just a regular bullet because wouldn't she  be able to handle a normal bullet" Derek questioned referring to Miss Peregrine while holding the bullet firmly in his hand waiting for an answer. "Yeah. My grandfather used to have a bullet of those kind, he said that there's things inside them, humans use them too. Apparently it's supposed to kill you with one touch and if it doesn't then you should be able to live but it depends. Why?" Jake answered and it relieved Derek a bit knowing that Alma would probably live. "Because this is the bullet that the coach shot Miss Peregrine with, anyways that's what I wanted to ask. Lets go and check on the others, they might need some comforting" Derek said and with that he left, followed by the others.

~Emma's POV~

We all surrounded Miss Peregrine after Derek, Caul and Jake left the room. "Miss Peregrine." Claire kept on saying hoping that Miss Peregrine would eventually wake up. "Miss Peregrine you can wake up now" Claire repeated for probably the twentieth time with a huge smile on her face waiting for the blue eyes we all knew to meet hers but her smile faded when she knew that wasn't going to happen. I wanted to tell Claire to stop saying the things she was saying because every time she said our ymbryne's name I feel my eyes getting watery, but if I did Claire would eventually start crying more than she already was.

Not long after, Jake and the 2 adults made their way back into the room we were all sitting in. "When will she wake up?" Claire asked, Claire was the only one who was basically talking out of all us as we are to shocked to even say anything. "I'm not sure yet, but she shouldn't stay like that for too long, maybe she'll even wake up in the morning. Let's change the topic, assuming you all are hungry?" Derek said to all of us but we just stared at him endlessly until he left the room to grab something for us to eat.

A few fellow ymbrynes wandered in and out asked if we were okay when Derek left but we completely shut them out and they must've known we didn't want their comfort so they left us alone with Miss Peregrine.

"It's funny how she used to look after us all when we became sick, this woman would do anything for us when we were close to ill and now she could be close to death and here we are, just sitting here doing nothing to improve her health" Enoch said, which kind of pissed me off honestly. "Yeah well what do you suggest we do Enoch? We can't do anything to help her when she is just laying there, it's not like we can ask her things or make her feel better, the only thing we can do is remember the memories we have had with her." I said, my words starting to come back to the tip of my tongue now. "Yes but we look so useless, if we were in her state of mind right now and she were to be in ours, she would have done more things rather than just sitting around and staring, as you should know she finds it impolite when someone is staring" Enoch stated. "Yes but we are not who Miss Peregrine is, we are not as smart as she is, we don't know the first thing to do when it comes to this situation and she does in a blink of an eye. Yes we are staring but this is different, we could lose her and we wouldn't want to waste the moments we have now please be quiet until Derek comes back" I said laying down on the couch that was located somewhere in the room.

Not even like 5 minutes later Enoch opens his mouth again. "But there has to be something we can do, it sucks to just be doing nothing about this. Imagine what life would be l-" he was about to say but Derek came in with a lot of things. Thank bird, that was the right timing ever. "Anyone hungry?" He asked in a positive tone and a smile, none of us smile back but I think it's a good idea to stay positive and not negative about this situation.

After grabbing all our food we went back to the same position we were in, we began little conversations. "What should we do when she does wake up?" Fiona asked in her usual sound of tone. "Go home of course, no use spending time in this broken down place" Enoch growled, his attitude will never stop growing. "Derek do the twins and Miss Avocet know what has happened to Miss Peregrine?" Claire asked, but he shook his head, which means we still need to come up with an explanation of what happened to Miss Avocet.

Of course Miss Avocet will be a little unsettled about the coincidence but she should be used to it, after all she didn't even bother to save her other students.

I checked my watch and it was almost 11pm which means we would have to get to sleep, we would never be allowed to stay up this late if Miss Peregrine were to be here, but unfortunately she isn't capable of doing such things and the only people we have to look after us is Caul and Derek.

"We should probably go to bed" I said, some of them didn't agree as they probably wanted to stay up and admire our beautiful caretaker but we all really needed to get some rest, some of our eyes were starting to form bags underneath. We didn't have many places to sleep but we all moved into this room that was down the hallway from where Miss Peregrine resided in.

We all got ready, brushed our teeth and went to bed, not straight away of course, it was hard to fall straight asleep with so much on our brains. Enoch, who was next to me, turned to face me as I did the same with him. "I still think you're wrong, in the morning I suggest we do something to help that woman laying on the bed in the other room" Enoch whispered, referring to Miss Peregrine. "Yeah and do what? I want to help her as much as you do but think of it as if she was just sleeping, we can't do anything when she's 'sleeping' it's not like she can speak, see, hear or anything, all she can do is nothing what so ever" I whispered back, everyone was already going to sleep so we had to be very quiet. "Well I don't know. Put her in a wheelchair and wheel her around outside? It'll be good for her body to get some sunshine rather than staying in this closed up place" Enoch said back. "Enoch we can't do that" I said giving him a 'you got to be kidding me' look.

Our little argument carried on until the both of us got so fed up, we eventually fell asleep due to pure boredom.
