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

Chapter 8

(A/N That's her hair lol) 

(Update - I think they removed my image bu it was two french braids!!!!!!)

The past two days passed in a blink of an eye. When Emma and the others got back from their 'trip' they had told me that nothing exciting had happened. They only brought back some sweets and a newspaper. Oh, and the lot of us got scolded and punished by Miss Peregrine making us do our chores twice as hard. She would make us do unnecessary tasks, like digging holes and refilling them. I've never seen punishments like that, but the history books did say that the past punishments were harsh.

Though today was different, Miss Peregrine got everyone up early, before 5, and got us dressed up all nice and clean as if we were hosting a major social party. But of course, that could never happen because we're in a loop and every day is to be the exacts same the one before. I just put on the same as I had on yesterday because it was 'presentable'.

Since we woke up relatively early I had time to braid my hair in two french braids. Walking down the stairs I noticed that, once again, everyone was up before me. But to be honest I have a pretty good excuse with my braids because they are clearly flawless and they looked like it took time, which it did. Geez, I wish I actually had the peculiarity to change my appearance at will, that would make my life so much easier.

Lost in my thought's I accidentally missed a step and I fell on my butt and slid down the remainder of the steps with a couple of plonks and a big thud when I landed at the bottom. All the little kids gathered around me giggling and laughing, Olive finally broke up my embarrassing crowd and helped me up, "Oooh Eliza, are you hurt! Are you okay?" She asked worriedly because it must've been a few loud *Thuds*... How embarrassing.

"Yeah, I'm fine thanks," I said rubbing my butt as she pulled me up, "Why are we all up so... EARLY" Saying the early bit with a yawn.

"The Bird said that someone one special is coming!" she said with a hint of excitement, "but she won't say anything else, we've tried for about 15 minutes. She's really good at keeping her mouth shut tight"

"Yea.... I thought someone new must be coming. They must be a peculiar then, or else how would they interrupt the daily loop." I put forward my idea. Olive in deep thought and just as she was about to speak, Miss Peregrine herself came in.

"Eliza, are you alright? I heard you fall from the other side of the house!" She said as Olive snickered and she inspected me for any broken bones.

I laughed a tad "Yea Miss P, but I think I bruised my ass." After that Olive gasped innocently, whilst Miss Peregrine shook her head,

"Dear, we never, ever swear in this house as we still have young children with us, also it extremely impolite!" She said scolding me with her eyes, "Instead of saying arse we will use bottom!" She added with a spin of her finger she stalked away.

"Oh, um/.... okay, let's go eat some breaky?" Olive suggested, I just nodded and we walked into the dining room where Miss Peregrine had a pre-made breakfast consisting of mainly pancakes and toast, with our glasses all filled up with orange juice that looked freshly squeezed. 

Breakfast was extremely tasty. I really don't know how Miss P and Emma do. Whenever I'm in charge of any meals it's always average. But these guys cook like a 100-year-old master chef. Well actually they are, but really! The morning went really fast until Miss Peregrine called Emma, Olive, Millard and I into private to speak

-

The words I heard were like music to my ears. I will be going back into my time. Only a short time, but that's all I need to catch up on all I've missed. Miss told us a bunch of information but I didn't really pay attention because I was too excited that I was going back into my era. I have to admit, as fun as it is basically time travelling back in time and getting to live in s completely new life but it does get boring living the day over and over again. Also, I don't have any of my electronics. So this would be refreshing.

As we were leaving the loop Emma, to my relief, repeated what we had to. We had to wait in the ruins of our home for a teenage boy and successfully bring him back into the loop. Sounded simple enough. We were nearing the home when I got carried away and I just couldn't hold back. I had to catch up on life. So I snuck away with ease and jogged down into the town.

Nothing had changed except that it started raining as soon as I stepped foot into the town. My hair started getting loose so had to tie in a bun at the back of my head. Now there was really no one on the streets until a young adult, maybe in his late teens stepped out of the hotel that I had stayed in when I got on this island. He looked determined for adventure, he also looked as though he wasn't supposed to be doing what he was. 

I followed him down the street a little until he dropped a piece of paper, an envelope maybe. I quickly ran up and grabbed it. "Excuse me!" I yelled politely but it didn't seem to reach him so I tried again but a bit louder and harsher, "Excuse me, SIR!" with this he stopped and  turned around and I jogged up to him, "I think you dropped this a little further back." I said shoving his letter into his chest.

"Oh, uhh. Thanks," He said awkwardly, "OH! You didn't read it did you?" He asked quickly.

"Nah, I don't snoop around other people business," I said staring up into his ocean blue eyes.

"Okay, thanks. You want to walk?" He asked even more awkward than before. I replied with a quick "Sure".

We walked in silence until we reached a thick amount of bushes. "Hey this looks like where I just came from," I said confused

"Cool! So know about the Home for children!" He asked,

"Yeah, um how do you know about the home?" I answered curiously.

"Oh, just read about it in history books." He answered quickly. I could tell he was lying because he touched his face after which is an obvious sign of stress or just a really bad liar. We reached the home quickly and my eyes reached its sad old frame. Falling apart from old age and the bomb that hit. I was curious how it looked on the inside after what happened to it. 

The boy and I jumped into the house and started looking through the old rubble and ruins. I watched him enter Enochs room out the corner of my eye, I followed him in seeing what he wanted,

"This is where my Grandpa was! I know it! But where are the children?" He jumped up with a questioning look,

"Well I kno--" I started but was cut off with Emma in the doorway

"ELIZA where did you go! We thought a hollow got you! Don't ever do that AG-" She stopped mid-sentence and stared at the boy, 

"Abe?"
