Death

A/N: I apologise in advance for this :( I hope y'all don't hate me as much as I mate myself for writing this. Kind of a long one-shot, but I hope you enjoy it (even if it's sad).

oOoOoOo

It all happened so fast. One minute she was taunting the wight stood before her, the next she was gasping at a sharp pain in her stomach. It spread like a sickness, travelling up to her chest until she had her palm pressed against it, begging the pain to go away.

Then, Barron yelled in anger, cursing the wight and telling him to stop. It all sounded like she was underwater, she could barely understand their argument. Then, she collapsed to the floor, darkness invading her vision. All she wanted to do was close her eyes. And she did.

"You idiot! She was the key to our experiment! Do you know what you've done?! Do you know how long I searched for her?!" Barron roared at the wight. The latter shrank under Barron's anger with the realisation of what he'd done. He'd killed Miss Peregrine. The only ymbryne strong enough to make them all immortal.

The other ymbrynes in the corner, in their bird form and caged, squawked in anger and fear as their gaze fell upon the lifeless body of their sister.

Running a hand through his grey hair, Barron crouched down beside Miss Peregrine and put a finger to her throat. He waited for a few seconds, but upon not feeling a pulse, he removed his finger and breathed heavily.

In a sudden burst of anger, he stood up, changed his arm into a sharp knife, and impaled the wight that had killed Miss Peregrine. The wight gasped and coughed, splattering blood on the floor and Miss Peregrine. Barron twisted his arm a bit then removed it from the wight's stomach.

"That'll teach you," Barron growled and pushed the wight over to let him bleed out on the floor.

A loud crash and the sound of an elephant came from upstairs and Barron looked up towards the ceiling. He snarled and turned to the cages ymbrynes, "stay quiet," he ordered. He then turned and strode from the room in anger. His entire experiment was going to shit. He would have to pick out the second best ymbryne to power the project.

The second he left the room, he was attacked by a powerful gust of wind. He didn't have time to fight back before he was thrown against the wall at the end of the corridor. He grunted and opened his eyes to see one of Miss Peregrine's wards in front of him- obviously the one in control of the wind- and another one rushing into the room he'd come out of.

A wicked grin spread across his face, showing his sharp teeth.

"You're one of Miss Peregrine's wards, aren't you?" He shouted against the wind, though he knew the answer. The girl didn't answer as she was keeping him pinned against the wall with the wind, but he saw recognition and worry in her eyes. Barron chuckled lowly and tried to fold his arms but they were forcefully blown back against the wall.

Oh, he couldn't wait to break the news to her.

It took Barron a moment to be able to speak, but when he did, he held a smug undertone.

"She's dead!" He yelled and laughed, "one of my wights killed her. Not even five minues before you came down here. I wonder what would have happened if you'd arrived on time. Maybe she'd be alive now."
