Peculiarities

Dix-neuf - 19

I look up at Enoch and collapse onto the ground. 'Ayanna' he said as he shook me. 'Ayanna' he said again. On the third go, I slowly flutter my eyes open and look up at him. 'Enoch, is she okay?' Jake asked. Enoch looked down and said 'yeah she's good'. He smiles down at me and brushes a strand a hair out of my face. 'are you okay?' he asked. 'yeah' I said, slowly getting up. Enoch climbs down from the roof as I follow behind.

We run down and head towards Jake. 'alright good job guys' he said as we were all gathered. 'next step' he continued. 'save Miss Peregrine' Bronwyn said. 'that's more step three but first we got to deal with Barron' he said. We nodded and ran towards Blackpool Tower.

We enter Blackpool quietly and hide in our places. I hide behind an old, mechanical elephant with Olive beside me.

I watched as Emma began to blowing at Barron towards a dart board. 'Hugh do it now' Jake yelled as he aimed and shot the crossbow at Barron, missing his head. Hugh came out from behind the chairs and opened his mouth, letting out bees. They swarmed around Barron's friends as they tried to shoo it off. I watched as one of Barron's friends tore her pants off, revealing her big, hairy feet. She climbed on top of a post carrying a bucket of throwing knives with her. I quickly put my hand up, putting a shield on Hugh as she began to throw the knives at him. She turned her head and looked at Emma and Jake. I quickly put my other hand up, putting a shield on them both as she threw knives at them both. They both looked at me and nodded before running to cover. Barron's friend looked around, knowing she was looking for me. She spotted me and began to throw the knives at me. I quickly put my hands up, putting a shield in front of me and watched the knives drop to the floor.

As Barron continued to walk, Enoch came running behind Barron attempting to hit him but Barron turned around and hit Enoch causing him to blackout. I whimpered and attempted to walk over to Enoch but Olive stopped me. 'Enoch' I whispered. 'I know but you can't. It's too risky' she whispered back. I nodded as she got up walked to Barron.

I watched as Olive touched Barron's shoulder and lit up. Barron took his coat off and swung it around Olive. I stood there helpless but waited for my signal. 'Bronwyn' Jake called as he aimed the crossbow again at Barron. Jake missed his head again and quickly tried to reload his crossbow. 'You missed me again, Jake. I take it accuracy is not your peculiarity' Barron said, continuing his walk. Bronwyn looked at me holding the chair above her head, seeking for approval. I nod and she throws the chair. I follow the chair and it hits straight at Barron's head.

Barron continued to walk towards the cellar where the ymbrynes were located as Jake tried to stop him. Barron pushed him to the ground as I see Emma trying to go help Jake. I look at her and read her mind. I put my hands up and stop her from going to Jake. She looks at me and then back to Jake. 'you can't. it's too risky not with Barron right next to you' I talk to her through her mind. She nods taking it as she understands. I put my hands down as I watch Jake get up and chase after Barron as Emma follows along.
