Jacob's POV: I stumbled into the room where the rest were in. "Thank you." I mumbled to Blanche as she supported me from falling. I turned around seeing the younger children clinging onto the older ones, while the older ones attempting to comfort them. Blanche went over to join the group as Claire and Bronwyn moved toward her. "What are we going to do?" Emma asked looking up at me, "We need weapons!" Enoch cried as the room was filled with chaos, everyone scrambling for a "weapon". I looked at Blanche for assistance, seeing my desperation she nodded, "Enough!" the room stilled, all eyes wide on Blanche. Once the room was quiet I walked toward the center we need to calm down, just then there was a crash. All our eyes widened, "What did the Wight say about the Hollowgast?" Emma asked, voice nearing hysteria, "You sell out the others' you don't have to worry about Marcus or... his kind." Blanche said, eyes widening toward the end of her sentence, "Everyone back up." I called as they all backed up and I scrambled to get Miss Peregrine's crossbow, that laid on the floor. "We need to block the door, quickly." Blanche addressed everyone calmly as they all nodded, Bronwyn blocking the door with a fainting chair, Millard boarding up the windows. All we could do now, was wait and see if our sad excuse would buy us some time. We could hear the creature bashing around the floor. Claire let out a whimper, "I'm scared." Claire said, tears gathering in the corner of her eyes. "I know, Claire, I'm scared too. But we'll get through this. We have to." I said as I hugged her close.
