"Children I have an announcement." Ms.Peregrine said. Enoch glanced up  seemingly uninterested. 'What could it be' he thought sarcastically . A few days  before she had said the same thing and she just changed the menu.

 " one of my fellow ymbryns(probably spelled wrong)has fallen ill so we will be moving to their loop it's only one year older than ours and we will stay there until further notice." Enoch's head snapped up suprised and angered he was about to protest when claire whined " what about our loop?" " I will fly back each day to do the reset  our loop, which reminds me they're reset is soon. Enoch come with me." Ms. Peregrine said standing up. Enoch fuming bolted out of his chair and followed. 

As soon as the were out of earshot Ms.Peregrine turned to the enraged boy "Not a word" she said before he could object. " you are in charge, in Precisely one hour you are to go to the place on this map bring only the most important of objects and pack quickly, use Emma's boat and bring my crossbow, be on the lookout for hollows, don't alarm the little ones,  don't let them think I abandoned them and promise me one thing Enoch" No longer angry Enochs face softened slightly, detecting the sorrow in her tone " please try and protect  them, please." "I will" he said and hugged her for the first time in fifty years, a hug from Enoch is as rare as a hollowspeak. They parted and Ms Peregrine wiped a tear from her cheek. She transformed and left.
