Millard Nullings One Shots

4 days (Millard)

A/N Hey, this was inspired by a post on a RP account on Instagram called MillardNullingsOffical who you should totally check out for being so amazing and letting me write this. Also i have only read the first book (i do plan on reading the others though) so if anyone is kinda OC i apologise and i don't know that much about not eating and isolation ect so sorry if anything is incorrect.

It was three days since i had last left my room, for the first day it was just because i wanted to look into more of the island but when no one came to see me i waited it out for the second day but no one came to see me then so now i sit here on my bed staring at the mirror that i had stolen from one of the other rooms, not sure who's room but i highly doubt that they're miss it. It feels like everyone had a million and one mirrors apart from me. I'm not sure why i'm looking in the mirror, i cant even see an outline of myself. I looked out the window and saw everyone outside ready to watch the restart, i was tempted to go down as it was a beautiful sight but i decided against it when i realised they probably think i'm already down there. As i sat on my bed looking out the window, i could see Fiona and Hugh sneakily holding hands and Olive looking at them smirking.

During the time which i spent up in my room i hadn't spoken a word which, for someone who never shut up according to some people, wasn't the easiest although i was finding it very relaxing. I never thoughts that being quiet was one of the things that i could be very good at, once i turned invisible i needed something to make people know i was there, other than clothes because what was the point of wearing them?

After 3 days of not speaking my throat was beginning to hurt if i did speak, i tried it this morning but somehow in only 3 days my voice had become scratchy. I began to hurt to speak, i remember when i was younger i used to be quiet for days on end and it always became scratchy and horse back then as well. I really did hate being invisible, the others saw it as useful when they wanted me to spy for them or something else stupid like that but for me it was a nuisance that kept me hidden away from anyone, yearning for the attention that being visible gave you.

My stomach rumbled loudly as i hadn't eaten since i had locked myself up here, i wanted to stay upstairs and never go down stairs again but i knew it was pointless, i was invisible anyway, i could probably go downstairs, eat, and then get back up here.

I slowly walked down the stairs and could see everyone coming inside from the reset, most were going to bed now so it would be the perfect time to get food. That was until i heard the pleading voice of Olive "Oh Miss Peregrine, can we stay up for just ten more minutes, can you read to us." I stopped at the bottom of the stairs and waited for Miss Peregrine to say no and shew everyone off to bed but for some reason she must have been feeling lenient tonight, i could hear the begs of the children and soon after that i heard the Miss Peregrine voice, "Ok, ok everyone in the living room." i sighed and decided to walk back up the stairs, despite my stomachs angry growls. I trudged into my room, hungrier than when i left. I closed the door and spun back around to crash on my bed but before i could my legs gave out under me and i collapsed.

I woke up on the floor with the sun streaming through my windows as i never closed the curtains, my back hurt so much from falling on the floor. I looked around and everything was as it was yesterday, i was some what disappointed that no one heard the thump or even came to check on me yet. I was now 4 days since i had last left my room and since i collapsed yesterday, i decided it was for the best to eat.
It would be lunch now and everyone was sitting round the table, I slowly crept down the stairs and stopped at the door contemplating whether I should go in or not. They couldn't tell that I was there, as far as I knew but Miss Peregrine seemed to always know. She suddenly dropped her cutlery on her plate, clattering and making the others look up. She quickly turned her head towards the door and even though I was invisible she some how managed to make direct eye contact with me. The others looked over confused, I grabbed my robe which was hung up in the dining room (it was easier to keep one there than go up to my room everyone time I came down in the nude). Now everyone could see me, they also gasped, probably remembering the fact that they hadn't seen me in four days. Miss Peregrine quickly got up and walked over to where I was standing in the doorway. She wrapped her arms around me and whispered sorry in my ear. I was shocked that she was so sorry, I thought nothing would happen and they would just think I had been quiet for a while or something along those lines but apparently it wasn't like that. "God you're so thin" she said to me, still embracing me in a hug, as she pulled away I said "it's ok" my voice was quiet and raspy from not talking. I looked over at the others but was soon engulfed in another hug from Olive and soon Fiona, Emma and basically all the girls where hugging me. The guys where less into the hugging, except hugh who came over with the girls, but eventually gave in and run over and hugged me as well.
When I decided to stay upstairs and see if anyone would come find me I thought that my invisibility meant that I was unlovable but just because I can't be seen or I'm easier to forget than the others it doesn't mean that I'm less loved.
I'm dragged over to the table although the girls kept a firm hand on me. Soon enough, after the numerous apologies about forgetting about me, we were all eating and laughing again. The pain of the last few days forgiven, but maybe not forgotten...
