Necklace.

I held up the necklace that was once given to my father as a gift from Welsh. He claimed it was one of a kind. It was made out of gold with a glass pendant that contains a little piece of rose in it. It was stunning, I cherished it because it was one of the last things my father gave to me before he suddenly disappeared. I felt a hot tear running down my eyes.

I miss you father.

I took another moment admiring it, I placed it in my pocket and continue packing my stuff. I only agree to me being sent to the "facility" to make my mother happy. She loves her new family more than me.

My heart ache just thinking about the truth.

Another tear left my eyes as I tried my hardest to stop crying.

Why me?

I mumbled silently.

What did I do wrong to be mistreated by the people I love.

My train of depressing thoughts continued. I curled up, continue crying until, there was a knock. I looked up confuse on who it was at the opposite door.

"Miss Hummingtons, I am Mr. Kane and with me is Mr. John. We are here to pick you up." The strange man stated loudly.

This is it. I am finally kicked by my own mother.

I picked up my backpack, and went out the door. Looking at the two men wearing black suits, I was taken aback. What type of Facility is this? They have their men wear expensive suits. I pushed that thought back in mind and walk pass by them as if I knew where we were going.

They quickly guided me the exit of my house. Walking passed my mother who didn't spare me a look, hurt me more. My eyes start to swell up as I walked inside the black van.

I love you mama

October 5 ,1943

Bracelet.

I held up a bracelet that was given to me by Joe. Joe was a dear old friend of mine. We were best of mates,- including Enoch, Abe, Joe and I-. We were the oldest boys therefore, we were given lots of difficult chores by Miss Peregrine. We would all split up into two teams, Enoch and Abe then Joe and I. We used to bet on who finishes there chores first. Before Joe and Abe left the loop, Joe gave me this bracelet, telling me that the bracelet had a partner, which was necklace and that he would give it to a woman worthy for me. I chuckled at the memories, holding the bracelet tight.

I wonder if Joe was just kidding.

"Victor, You day dreaming about that girl again" Enoch smirked at me whilst nudging me.

"No"

"Ooo, he totally is~" Emma teased back.

They all giggled. They always tease me when it comes to girls. Lucky for them they have a partner. I am almost turning old here and still have no one to cuddle with. I sighed, looking at the scenery presented to me while the wagon was moving.

Strange.

This night was cold. Like Really cold, which is weird since all day, everyday its the same September 5 ,1943...

September 17 ,2020. 7:30 pm

It has been hours since we left home. I am curious in where we are going but the two men won't tell me. I looked out of the car enjoying the view I used to call home. But this time it felt different, this is actually the last time I will see this place.

I chuckled.

Goodbye, Hell.

"Miss, are you okay back there?" one of them asked.

I gave them a slight nod, as if they can see me from the back. I didn't like their vibe, it seems off and creepy

The van slowed down as we arrived to a port. It was a small port, it had only one ticket stand which was made out of old wood. There was just one boat which was old style. I raised an eyebrow. 'Where the hell am I?" I wanted to say but I decided to stop talking and just go with the flow. Mr. John gave me my backpack as the other dude get some papers out of the folder.

"This is our stop Miss Nylah" John said cheerfully

"This boat ride will take 2 hours so you arrive there at exactly 9:30" Kane added as he give me a an antique looking box and what I assume are the travel documents.

"What's the box for?"

"This was from your father, he told us to give it to you once you go to the island."

I looked at the men who talked about my father ,waiting for them to say its a joke. I can feel my tears come up my eyes.

Is father waiting for me?

Will I finally reunite with him?

All sorts of questions came up to my mind. I want to ask them about my father but I couldn't. I was struck with sadness and frustration, the fact that my father was not with me all my life, suddenly some stranger gives me a box -who knows what's inside this thing- from my father.

"I understand you're frustration, if you want we can ship it to you instead of you holding on to it" Kane offered.

I thought for a moment, holding the box closely to my chest.

Father, What the hell are you giving me?

"It's fine, Its been years since he gave me something" I forced a smile.

The men told me to follow the instructions of the crew men and wait for the people who will fetch me. We exchanged goodbyes and I went on the boat, still holding the box. I sat far from he crew men to get some privacy. I opened the box to see Old Pictures, and letters. Scanning through all of them, it looked to be from the 20's. I examined all pictures until I saw one of a teen who looked to be 3 years older than me. He held a little child -who I assumed to be his sister-. He was quite attractive. I looked for more pictures, seeing so much photoshopped children. Weird, I thought. I saw letters when I heard one of the crew men call me. I kept all things and went to them.

Father, Who are these people?
