A Peculiar very Peculiar (Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children)

*Note: Ok, here's a new chapter! I wanted to upload one chapter per day but it's impossible, I'm busy with my other fic and I'm in a moment of the fic that I want to think very well the next chapter until I write, that's the reason.

...

I followed Miss Peregrine through the large orphanage, beautiful even at night, since we did not want to awaken anyone from their sleep, Miss Peregrine had turned off the lights and we were only guided by a small lamp with a candle that barely illuminated the huge orphanage, however, it was bright enough for me to see Miss Peregrine in front of me, who did not even seem to flinch in spite of the little light she had... Wait a minute: Where did she get that lamp?

Anyway, we go up the stairs until we reach one of the rooms at the end of the corridor.

"Enter and turn on the light" – said Miss Peregrine.

I nodded and opened the door and as soon as I had done so, I entered with Miss Peregrine and turned on the light illuminating the whole room while Miss Peregrine closed the door behind her.

The room was... how to put it? Pretty cozy, I guess, there was a bed in the corner of the room, a small desk with a chair in front of it, a small bookshelf right next to me, and a small closet a few inches from the desk; plus a window, of course.

"What do you think? I have equipped the room with the basic, later you can decorate it as you like" – said Miss Peregrine.

It was a simple room, no one would have been excited to see such an empty room, but I was different, because, for some reason, I was completely moved to see it, It was a strange feeling, but I felt peace inside mem I don't know how to explain it correctly, but... I felt at ease, at home; as if this were my room in Florida.

"I love it" – I said sincerely.

They were not empty words dedicated only to making her feel good about having done all this, but genuine feelings that came from the depths of my being. Someone may believe that someone like me who likes the Internet, video games and watching television for hours, would have a difficult time here, where there was none of that, those who think so, there is no doubt that they are right, It is true that I was so attached to the modern world, that it would be difficult for me not to have the internet or to be able to play video games, I admit it, but I also know that, eventually I'll get used to living without any of that, I'm sure there are other ways to entertain myrself around here that will make me forget about the internet, television and even video games, it's just a matter of time.

"Thank you very much for your words. It seems that you really liked it, I'm glad" – said Miss Peregrine.

Ever since Jacob expressed his desire to stay there with them, Miss Peregrine began to prepare his room, which is why she was so busy these days, because she was preparing the room for Jacob, the new child who, from now on, would live with everyone. To Miss Peregrine, all those children she cared for were like her children, and even though she didn't know Jacob as long as the others, she also considered him the same.

"I only have one question that's been on my mind all this time" - I said.

"Ask your question and If I can, I will answer it" – said Miss Peregrine.

"Will not the whole room be restarted tomorrow until it was originally as it was; empty?" – I asked curiously.

That's a doubt I've had for a while, money resets, Fiona's seeds reset. Doesn't that mean that all rooms should be reset to the way they were originally? I mean, it's impossible for all the rooms to be decorated from the beginning, in addition, even if they were, each child has decorated their room to their liking: Didn't everything go back to normal when the day restarted?

"I see, It's a very common question that I had to answer everyone at first. Well, it's true that everything resets, however, things only restart outside the orphanage, the things inside don't reset thanks to my control over time, there are exceptions such as the money or Miss Fraunfeld's seeds, but that's because the day before this one, none of that had left here, neither the money, nor the seeds, in other words, any object that changes in the slightest the outside world will be reset and returned to the mansion. Did you understand?" – Miss Peregrine explained.

It seems like a difficult explanation, but in reality it is not, basically, since everything is inside the mansion, nothing is reset thanks to her powers, but the money they spend every day in the butcher's shop enriches the butcher, while the plants that Fiona plants modify the landscape, a landscape that should never have existed in the first place, so it restarts and they return to the orphanage after the restart.

"I have understood it perfectly, but then: Where did you get all the furniture and decorations?" – I asked again.

Okay, I've understood that perfectly, but still... where did Miss Peregrine get all this furniture and decorations?

"That's simple, every so often, the Ymbrynes have meetings in other loops and I have to go. During my stay away I have bought numerous furniture and decorations from the present, but as you can see, all the furniture and decorations are according to this year and not yours" – explained Miss Peregrine.

I see, since she buy all of this in the year I come from, nothing goes back into place at the end of the day because it doesn't change the current day in the slightest.

"I see, but I have one last question to ask if you don't care" – I said.

"Of course, but think about it correctly because it will be the last one to answer today. It's very late and you should rest just like me, of course" – said Miss Peregrine.

I agreed with her, It was very late and we needed to rest, so the question I will ask will be the last one (for now).

"It's okay: Why don't you want kids not to learn about the year I live in? I have noticed that every time I talked about the future, you made a bad face and I want to know the reason about that" – I said.

I actually already knew the answer, but I wanted to hear it from her in person, in any case, I am sure that in the future she would tell me.

"You are very perceptive, but it's not that I don't want them to learn about the future or anything like that, so the answer to your question is simple, if they learn about the wonders of the outside world, they will want to go out and see the world and that is something I cannot allow" – said Miss Peregrine.

"Why?" – I asked again.

"Because they can do that. Maybe you can, but if they are more than three days out of the loop, they will get old suddenly and die, and as you understand, I can't let children get hurt like that, so if they hear from you what the modern world can offer them, they will start insisting on going outside and the Cairnholm of your year would not be able to satisfy their desires, so I would have to take them somewhere other than Cairnholm and I cannot do that, I think you already know why" – explained Miss Peregrine.

"Because only one ship passes through every week" – I said.

"That's right, It is true that I could take them out of Cairnholm to see the wonders of the modern world, however, that is the last thing they would see in their lives, because 3 days later, they would perish" – said Miss Peregrine.

"And you? I mean, you said that every so often there is a meeting with other Ymbrynes and you have to go out: How is it possible that you don't get old?" – I asked curiously.

"Our control over time allows us to spend a lot of time outside the loops, however, we cannot be away for more than a month or we will end up aging just like a normal peculiar" – said Miss Peregrine.

"Thank you for answering my questions" – I said.

I have no more doubts for the moment.

"You're welcome, Now I'll go, I wish you happy dreams" – said Miss Peregrine.

Then, she opened the door with the intention of leaving, but before she did, she turned her head and looked at me.

"Come to my office tomorrow afternoon, I have something very important to tell you; I think the time has come" – said Miss Peregrine.

"Okay" - I nodded.

I don't have to be very perceptive to realize that she will finally tell me about the Wights, a subject she has never spoken or mentioned since I first set foot in this orphanage.

In both the film and the books, Jacob fervently insists that Miss Peregrine tell him about wights and hollows. The original Jacob wanted to know what was that creature he saw that night that his grandfather died, however, I am not the original Jacob and I understand that Miss Peregrine must have her reasons for not having told me, so I never insisted, Miss Peregrine is smart enough to know whether or not I'm ready to know the truth, so I never pressed her or brought up the subject, that is why I waited patiently for this moment to come, because I knew she would tell me when the time was right, which seems to have come.

"See you tomorrow" – I said.

"See you tomorrow" – she said.

Then, she closed the door and left.

For my part, I simply turned off the light and lay down on the soft bed while I covered myself with one of the blankets, the bed was very comfortable and the pillow was very fluffy; just a perfect bed.

"It seems to me that from tomorrow things will be very different..." – I said.

[Yes, they definitely will be]

I wanted to talk to the system for a while, but I was so tired that my eyelids began to close as if they had a life of their own and, without knowing it, I fell into a deep sleep from which I would not wake up until tomorrow morning.
