Torment
(n) severe mental distress • • •
Miss Peregrine had asked me to stay in the dining room after lunch. I was a little worried, as Miss P never calls me in like this. It's usually Emma that stays, but I remained seated without question.
Miss Peregrine rushed back into the room with what looked like a letter in her hand. She had a thin line of sweat blanketing her boney face and seemed riddled with thought.
"This couldn't wait a day longer."
I was getting extremely nervous. I followed Miss Peregrine into her office and sat down with furrowed eyebrows.
"Is everything alright?"
"Yes, yes," she answered, waving a hand.
"You look flustered," I stated slowly.
Miss Peregrine smiled at me and seemed to collect herself for a moment. She took a deep breath as what seemed like a weight was being lifted off of her shoulders. The ymbryne handed me a letter with a long exhale.
"I have had this for about a month now."
I stared at the ymbryne in shock and took the letter into my hands. It was opened before me and I assumed Miss Peregrine had seen whatever was inside before me. It didn't bother me; She was probably just doing her ymbryne protocol.
I turned the envelope around to read where this letter was from.
Devils Acre.
I shivered. Why would someone from there want to contact someone like me? It had no name, other than Devils Acre, and was addressed neatly to Miss Peregrine's home. I assumed she collected it from an messenger bird.
Opening the letter inside I almost fainted.
It was written directly to me.
Adeira Langston,
I hope this letter finds you in good health. I know you must be confused and worried. Why would a peculiar child get a strange letter from Devil's Acre in the first place? I assure you, all of your questions will be answered in a matter of a few sentences.
I miss you sweetheart. I know that may seem strange, as you don't know who this letter is from. Well, my name is Lorraine. I live in Devils Acre with my assistant. Our job is to ------ help peculiar children.
