"Enjoying the view."

My face heats up and my mouth slightly parts.

I gulp and shake my head. "I should...go downstairs." I say and walk past Enoch.

I slightly jog to the stairs and slide down on the railing. I land on my feet at the bottom and try to remember which way the kitchen is. I audibly groan and turn around. I almost bump into Enoch and I step back from him.

"Can you, I don't know, stop sneaking up on me like that?" I ask bitterly and turn away from him. I hear him chuckle a little and I can just imagine him rolling his eyes.

"Hun, I'm only trying to get to the dining room." He says and walks off to the left.

I follow him.

"Thirteen seconds late, miss Stein, and mister O'Connor." Miss Peregrine says as we enter the room. A few of the kids snicker, but quickly stop when she glared at them.

"Very sorry miss, but Enoch here wouldn't leave me alone." I say and glare at said person.

"Oh please, you didn't even know where you were going, if I hadn't sto-"

"That's enough you two. Take a seat, so we can eat." Horace cuts him off. I snicker and take a seat next to Emma.

I look at the food sitting on the plate in front of me.

"Are those... giant carrot and peas?" I ask and poke at them.

"Why yes they are, Fiona tomorrow you should show Vivian how your peculiarity works." Miss Peregrine says and winks at Fiona. She smiles and looks at me while chewing on her carrot.

"I'd actually love to see how everyone's peculiarity works, if it's okay." I say with a smile. Almost everyone smiles and starts talking at the same time.

"Quiet, children. We can do that tomorrow." Miss P says. A few kids let out a disappointed 'aw' and continue eating.

I poke around my food but don't eat any. "Why aren't you eating?" Emma asks softly.

"Not hungry." I reply and look down. I notice she's strapped to her chair and I furrow my eyebrows.

"I'll explain later." She says as if reading my mind. I nod and look up.

"Claire isn't eating again." Hugh says and motions to the girl who, like me, hasn't eaten any of her food.

"Claire, I'm sure Vivian won't mind." Emma says. Claire picks up the turkey leg and holds it to the back of her head. A few strange noises later, she sets the clean bone back on her plate and smiles shyly.

"How-what." I say.

"She has a back mouth." Jake says. My mouth forms a small 'o' and I nod.

Once everyone is done eating Bronwyn pipes up. "It's movie night!" She says.

Enoch groans and leans his head back. Fuck, that was kinda hot...no Vivian! Keep your mind out of the gutter.

Everyone gets up and I follow them into the living room. I take a seat, once again next to Emma, and look around.

"...movie?" I say softly to myself and I try to find some sort of screen, or projector...projector! Horace! A smile forms on my face as I piece everything together. Horace takes a seat in the middle and pulls an eye piece from his pocket. Miss Peregrine shuts off the lights and the children all shush each other.
