Home again
We left the next day. Back to our boring old loop. When home we saw that Olive was sick. Whenever she sneezed she rocketed high into the air.
Then Emma got sick. Her hands sprouted fire all of a sudden and she had already lit her bed on fire twice.
The next day Miss Peregrine called a meeting. "Now children you are aware that a sickness is going around?" We nodded "That sickness is the Ymbryne sickness. You have caught it from Helena. An Ymbryne under the appearance of age 20 can make other peculiars sick. I have caught it and therefore can not catch it again." We nodded again "The sickness causes your peculiarities to turn on and off. That means that Millard must wear clothes at all times and Bronwyn and Victor must refrain from lifting heavy objects." "Kaylah wear your electric proof gloves an Emma you wear your gloves." "Now are there any questions?" When no one answered she said we were dismissed.
I went to the Library where I found Millard. "What are you doing?" I asked "I'm trying to find out what our symptoms will be." He said "huh?" "What will happen when our powers turn off or malfunction." He said "oh." I say "Here's Abe's peculiarity. It says he will feel like he senses a hollowgast and might throw up." Millard says. I shiver. "Claire's backmouth might close and refuse to open." "Fiona will cause plants to grow depending on emotion. And Hugh's bees will get antsy."
"Hmmm" I mutter
I was sitting next to Marcie and Claire and Olive on the couch. Emma sat next to Abe. Millard sat in the armchair reading his book. Then Abe dashed to the bathroom and started to throw up. "Now Abe's sick." I muttered. Olive sneezed and floated to the ceiling.
I pulled her down by her shoe.
Then I got sick then Marcie then Bronwyn and Victor then Claire and so on. It was horrible. It felt like each day was a year and finally Victor had had enough.
