Sound of Mind (Jacob Portman X Oc)

Return to The Home

(Last Night)

Jacob's POV: I stared at the rose in my hand as my drunken father entered the room and flop onto the bed, unconscious. I turned back to the flower that was slowly beginning to crumble, turning into dust. I watched as the dust in the palm in my hand get swept away by a stray wind, leaving no trace of Blanche's rose.

Blanche's POV: "You're back!" I slowly walked down the stairs to see Jacob, a boy twice Bronwyn's age, being held in the air and spun. "Bronwyn, please let go of Jacob." I said as she complied and set him down of the ground, "Run off, and tell the other's biscuits will be for snack today." I whispered into the girl's ear as she ran off, happily. "Morning Jacob." I said as he smiled tersely and pulled me into a hug, "I need to see Miss Peregrine, quickly." Jacob said urgently, as he let go. "What's going on?" I asked as I escorted him to her study, "I'll tell you later." Jacob said as he entered the room, "Promise." I nodded as I shut the door to her study and went up to my room to changer into a more appropriate outfit for my chore. Taking a quick glance in the mirror before fixing my hair and pulling on my cloak. Without wasting another moment I swiftly made my way down to the courtyard, shutting my door. "Blanche, Blanche, going to do your chore? Can I come? Please Blanche? Please?" I looked down to see Claire clutching my cloak, eagerly. I bent down to her height, laying a hand on her head I shook my head. "Claire, you know this it's to dangerous for you. I don't want to risk a possibility of you getting hurt." I explained as she nodded and walked of to join the twins.
