Here we all stood, a group of individuals facing the imposing dividers that encased a place I never thought I would willingly return to.
"Is it just me, or did they significantly upgrade security around here?" Minho's observation echoed as he scanned the towering walls, though I sensed his question was directed at me. "No, you're right about that," I responded, my eyes noting security guards stationed at every corner and surveillance cameras zooming in on our faces.
"Never in my whole life would I have thought I'd be standing in front of this place willingly," Hyunjin confessed, his restlessness evident as he swallowed hard, eyes fixed on the imposing gate.
"Now, children, I can't assist you any further due to the promise made with Mr. Arthur. I'm only permitted to leave you here, and they will take charge once I depart." Miss Peregrine moved among us, embracing each one for a fleeting moment before imparting her final words.
"All I've told them is that Y/n is curious about her father's well-being and desires to change the world. They don't know anything about the rest of you snooping around. Now, I don't know what they have planned for you all, but please bear with it for a month, and I'll come and fetch you with the others."
Silence enveloped us at her words, a tacit acknowledgment of the situation we had all agreed to enter. A month. Inside.
Sigh, alright. As the car vanished from our sight, the mechanical sound of the gate opening seized everyone's attention.
All of us assumed a defensive stance upon seeing the twins approach with wicked grins and open arms. Four guards stood behind them, armed with weapons. "WELCOME, MY CHILDREN! WELCOME, AND TO MINHO AND Y/N, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK AGAIN AT HOME."
Oh god, this wasn't going to be easy. The atmosphere shifted, tension settling in like an unwelcome guest.
