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

Chapter 7

(A/n: The media for this chapter is what Eliza chose to wear :)

After reset, Miss Peregrine sent us to bed because it was late. 9 pm isn't really that late for me back in the 'present' time, I would usually stay up on my phone and go through memes or find new songs to learn to sing and play. 

I found it extremely difficult to fall asleep that night, I don't know why, maybe it was the fact it was my first night staying in a house that a woman I barely know owns, or that I might be worried about how my father and brother are reacting right now, maybe, just maybe they could be looking for me, asking people if they have seen me but the odds of that would be about 7 to 100. They are probably happy that I am finally out of their lives. Maybe it was that boy from Horace's dream. The one rummaging through the future, blown up house. Or maybe I am just nervous to see how my life will pan out stuck in this era. But after analysing this in my brain, and solving problems it took little time for me to fade off into sleep.

I was woken with Emma coming into my room, opening up my curtains to reveal a bright, shining glowing medallion in the sky, also known as the sun. "Ugh, Emma get out of my room!" I said half asleep,

"Eiza, you need to get up!" Emma replied lightly, although stomping around in her boots "Today is the day we sneak out of the loop to see the news!"

"It's fine you can go, I'll just -" I began but my blankets and sheets were ripped off of me and thrown to the floor, along with myself. "EMMA. WHAT. THE. HECK!" I screeched at her.

"Shhhh, please just get up. I didn't say you had to come." Emma said, trying to calm me down,

"Well, pray tell, why have you awoken the Queen from her royal slumber?" I say, a little annoyed but chucking a joke in with the question.

"I woke you because we need someone to cover for us! Pweaseeeeee" She begged with her large puppy dog eyes.

"Fine... But you owe me. Okay?" I added

"Yay, I promise. I'll go tell Enoch, Jackie and Olive!" Emma squealed happily. Then immediately after she skipped joyfully, out of the doorway leaving me to get ready myself. 

So I got up, out of my painful position on the floor and walked over to my new wardrobe. I run my hand down the edge of the oak wood door of the wardrobe and pulled it open not knowing what would be inside.

Looking into the wardrobe for the first time ever, I saw three beautiful dresses, two for everyday wear, one for cleaning and another for sleeping. I pull out a peach coloured dress that has a floral pattern on the very upper chest and just under the collar. When I put the dress on it felt new and fresh, unlike the previous clothing I had been wearing for who knows how long! The hem of the dress reached down, just above my knees. I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life, maybe my ancestors wore a dress of this style in their time. Honestly, how do these clothes fit me perfectly? Maybe Miss Peregrine knew for a while that I would be coming  or else how could she get these perfectly fitting dresses for me?

I walked out of my room and down the quiet hallway into Enochs room and saw Jackie, Olive and Emma getting ready to 'escape' from the window. "Honestly this is so ridiculous, why don't you just walk out the front door?" I asked

"Well, you see, if we walk out the front door the Bird might catch us and ask us questions," Olive answered in a small voice,

"Yea and if she questions, we have to answer and Jackie is a really bad liar so she will definitely figure us out." Enoch finished. Causing us all to snicker at Jackie who frowned and disagreed.

"Well don't let me stop you," I say walking out of the room. After hearing the window latch shut, I close the door to Enochs room and walk down the hallway. I could tell that there was something different with today, although it's a loop and the day is supposed to repeat the previous but I could tell today was going to be good.

As a part of covering for the others, I had to also do their chores, which was not what I had in mind. I had to fix up the hedges in the garden, make the beds, to do and put away all their laundry. What I noticed was that Jackie had worn no dresses or skirts all week, which is strange, as I noticed all other girls, except Fiona, wear dresses. After I put the last sock in Emma's draw I walked downstairs and was met with Miss Peregrine's smoking pipe in my face. "Good morning Eliza!" She greets me, rather happier than normal.

"Good morning Miss," I reply, not really wanting to talk as I know I'm the worst liar in the entire Universe."

"Let me ask you a question. Where are the other older kids?" She asks, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Erm..." I think for a moment, trying to make up a dumb and stupid lie that will probably not work, but it's worth the try, right? "They went for a walk along the beach, they thought it would be a fun thing to do. You know, watch the sunrise out there?" I lie, hoping she buys it.

"Darling, I know you're lying, where are they really?" She says. But honestly damn she is good, I tried my best but it didn't work. But I guess being as old as her, with so many years of experience she would know faster than you could say the word pin.

"They went out of the loop. To see what's happening in the modern day world." I say with my head down in defeat and just after I said that, Miss rushed out of the room and into the kitchen.

"They don't get any breakfast then!" She yells from the kitchen.

*****

After a few minutes, the clock hit 11 am and it was decided we would be having brunch. We were all gathering around the table, all the younger kids asking about Emma, Jackie, Olive and Enoch. Right after I helped Miss Peregrine bring in the food in Emma and co burst in the door/room and whispered something to Miss P and she left the house immediately. 

{A/n: Okay guys, I've been watching the walking dead (only just started season 3) and I'm in love... not to mention Riverdale. I honestly didn't update because I've either been watching those, exercising/netball/training or school work! I have a really packed life when it gets to winter. But here's a filler chapter, I think Jacob will actually be in the next part hahaha! Thanks, guys, LOVE YOUU}
