Peculiarities

Neuf - 9

He walks towards me and gently grabs my hand and washes it clean. I look at him confused but then start to relax. He ducks down to get a small hand towel to dry hand. 'Ouch' I said, flinching as he looks up at me. 'You okay?' He asked. 'Yeah it just stings, that's all' I said shrugging. He begins to pat gently on my hand and then looks at the mirror cabinet and pulls out a box band-aids. He takes out a band-aid and sticks it on my hand. I looked at him and smile a bit. A strand of hair falls out in front of my face. Enoch pushes the strand of hair out of my face and tucks it behind my ear. I sigh and look at him. We both make eye contact and I'm the one that breaks it. 'Told you should look where you're going' he said. I shake my head and hit him on the arm. 'Told you were the walking definition of bipolar' I said. Now it was his turn to shake his head and nudge my shoulder. I hear the front door creak open, making me want to know what's going on downstairs.

I get up and head towards my room to read my books. 'Enuoia' Miss Peregrine calls I head downstairs and into the kitchen where she was. 'Yes Miss Peregrine' I said 'I brought you another book dear' she said, smiling at me. She holds it out for me to take. 'Thank you Miss Peregrine' I said, taking the book from her. 'How are the other books going?' She asked. 'It's good' I say nodding my head. I turn to leave to my room. I get to the top of the stairs and turn to my left only to see Enoch, Jake and Fiona standing in front of Victor's bedroom.

I walk over to the three and smile. 'What's going on?' I asked. Fiona looks up at me before she explains. 'Enoch won't leave Victor alone and he knows how much it upsets Bronwyn' she explained. She turns to Enoch and Jake. 'He's always been jealous of Abe and now he's jealous of you Jake' she said. Enoch crosses his arms and looks at Jake as Jake continues to look at Fiona. 'I'd like to meet Victor' Jake said as Enoch smiles down at Fiona before patting her head. I shake my head and press the corner of my eyes together. 'First dolls and now actual human begins, how low could you get Enoch?' I asked, shaking my head. 'Well no one asked for your opinion, Ayanna' he said. 'Jake, you do know what's he's trying to do, right?' I asked, turning to Jake, who had no clue on what was going. He shook his head as his response. I shook my head and walked to my bedroom.

I enter my room and close the door behind me. I take my book to my desk and place it gently on top of the other books. I sit back on my bed and try out the exercises that were in one of the books Miss Peregrine brought. I put a pillow in front of me and my hands in front of me. I slightly raise my hands as the pillow begins to levitate. I slightly lower my hands and the pillow descends and lands softly on my bed. I turn to my door and try to open it. I put a lot of force into power but it just wouldn't budge. I sigh and slump on my bed.
