It'll be an adventure I said while trudging through the murky bog of Cairnholm.
Next turn on the right
I am now standing in the middle of nowhere with only one entrance to go, looks like this'll be an exciting day for me. As I walk into the black abyss I'm suddenly surrounded by green. Green hedges shaped like all different kinds of animals, from a horse to a T-Rex. The pond with lilies floating on top and vines climbing up what looks to be a mansion.
My head held high hoping to make the best presentation of myself I could. With my fist in a ball about to knock on the door I stopped before I could, the door opened to a very beautiful blond girl. Who looked to be very content with life, if only I could be like her I thought to myself. She was adoring lead shoes and a light blue dress that complemented her well.
"Hello I'm Emma. You must be Josephine Rivers! Here come follow me Miss Peregrine has been waiting for you for quite some time now and we're all very excited to have a new person here."
Before I could answer her Emma grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the hallway and into a kitchen with a lady smoking a pipe.
"Right on time, Miss Peregrine delighted to meet you. Welcome to our loop Josephine I'm sure you're going to enjoy your time here with us. Emma be a dear and show Josephine to her room, dinners about to be served."
"Here come along with me and i'll show you where you'll be staying" Emma said to me with a smile

Emma still held my arm as we walked up a staircase and into a hallway filled with doors leading into who knows where. Wondering where my room could be we stopped in front of a big brown oak door, Emma opened the door leading into a wide spaced room. Bookshelves, an open wood fireplace and a beautiful scarlet bed and stitched roses adorned it.
"This will be your room while you stay here, I hope everything is to your liking?"
I nodded my head
"Okay, so you don't speak. That's alright I can work with that. You don't have any baggage with you so i'll just let you get settled in and i'll be up to come and receive you, I will knock on the door three times so you know it's me."
"Oh I nearly forgot, you will also be meeting the rest of the children at dinner time. I hope you don't mind that. And I hope you enjoy it here!"
She said in a cheery tone as she closed the door behind her
I looked around the room glancing at every object that was there. I wondering what the future has install for me
