How to Survive as an Uneducated Peculiar

A Whole New World

~Emma's POV~ 

As soon as Jacob put the car in park about five minutes away from the loop, he crashed his head into the stirring wheel and let out a long groan.

We had all been travelling all night, barely getting any rest. Bronwyn and Georgina would take a couple of cat naps, but Georgina was too worried to sleep for long, and Bronwyn didn't sleep well in cars. 

After our brief talk with the ymbryne's offspring, we had convinced Emily to lend us her car, in exchange for taking Millard. He and Hugh had taken her car, to our relief since none of us really care to hear anymore about their love lives.

I grudgingly got out of the car, stretching my limbs and yawning. Hugh and Millard got out of Emily's car as well, as other cars began to park around us. 

Hugh and Millard seemed as tired as the rest of us, so I expected the other peculiar to be sleepy as well. I was mistaken.

"DON'T STOP ME NOW!!!!" Natalie, TJ, Charlie, and Percy  sang/scream as they popped out of a car. "CAUSE I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME, I'M HAVING A BALL!!"

Poor Fiona.

Fiona then popped out of the car, sleepily walking towards me, while resting her hand on her stomach.

As they continued singing, Emily, Max, Luke, and Victoria came out of a car, slightly laughing. They even joined in as the song played out from the car. 

"How on earth are any of you this energetic after how many hours of driving?" Millard asked.

"We spent five drugged in the back." Max said. "Thanks to you guys."

"For the record, you weren't drugged." Georgina mumbled as she and Bronwyn emerged from the car. "You were simply knocked out."

"Sure." Emily said as she rolled her eyes. She then turned back to her four slightly more normal friends. "Should we stop them?" 

Her weirder friends were still dancing oddly and singing along to some song, which I had never heard before. Luke nodded before going into the car that had music coming out of it, and turned it off, to the dismay of the four.

"Aww." Natalie whined. "We were having fun."

"By destroying the poor girl's eardrums." Luke snorted. He then turned to Fiona. "Sorry about them. And to answer any questions, yes they are always this annoying."

"So, how was your ride Emily?" Millard started.

But before she could answer his question, we were interrupted by Percy, Natalie, TJ, and Charlie approaching us.

"So, we have like a million questions about this stuff." Charlie said. "Is their like a school that we can go to, where there's like learn more about this kind of...I don't know, magic?"

"And just out of curiosity, with the school, is their an entire secret world of magical people?" Natalie asked.

"So will we get wands when we see these people?" TJ asked. "And then we'll have unlimited power?"

"Well, probably not unlimited power, right?" Percy asked. "But if we get three items will we have unlimited power? Like a wand, a stone, and a cloak?"

They continued to ramble on until I interrupted them. 

"This is not Harry Potter." I said flatly. "We all have one, sometimes two, special abilities that make us different from normal people. Because of these abilities, we have been persecuted for witchcraft, and have been forced to hide. Does that answer every question you have?"
