I DO NOT OWN ANY PART OF THIS FILM OR IT'S CHARACTERS, ONLY MY OWN IDEAS AND CHARACTERS.

BLEEHH BLAH BLAH

I MAY WELL BE INCLUDING PARTS FROM THE BOOKS, JUST A WARNING

Anyway, hello my Unicorns! How are we all!

I only JUST watched the film, but it's on my memory stick, and that should mean frequent updates!

I hope you enjoy, I apologise in advance for if this chapter sucks, because my first ones tend to do that!

A six year old Aella Portman chewed the inside of her cheek as the car continued to move along the Welsh roads. She had been taken away in the night - with only her grandfather knowing - to go to Miss. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and Aella was extremely frightened. She didn't know the man driving the car - and she sure as hell didn't want to -, she was in a country she didn't know to stay with people she didn't know. But, Aella was brave and she wouldn't show her fear… Hopefully. "Hurry, Aella." The man told her as they stopped the car, rushing out. "We mustn't waste time." They ran down to the beach, the man eventually carrying her, until they reach a small cave entrance that you would miss if you didn't look close enough, and entered out of sight. The man knelt down, brushing hair out of Aella's face. "Abe's little huntress… Go now, through there, and you will be safe from harm. They are waiting for you, Aella." He dropped her luggage and ran out of the cave, leaving Aella alone in the darkness.

As with any frightened six year old, fear soon began to get the better of her. She wanted to go home. She wanted to be with her brother Jacob and her grandfather, but apparently she had to stay her. After minutes of standing in silence, tears began to pour from Aella's eyes, falling to her knees. This was a punishment. She had been a bad girl, and now they didn't want her any more. "Please come back! I'll be good! I promise!" She began to cry in hysteria, soon hearing footsteps fast approaching her. "Come back! I won't touch anyone any more, I promise!"

"Hush, sweet girl, it's alright." An older girl with flaming red hair got down on her knees and tried to hug Aella to calm her down, but Aella threw herself away, shaking her head.

"No! You can't touch me!" She screamed and the older girl put a gloved hand over Aella mouth, picking her up while Aella kicked and screamed behind the hand.

"Bronwyn, grab her things. Miss. Peregrine is waiting." The took her away from the entrance to the loop, tears freely falling from Aella's eyes as she got further away from freedom, fighting harder to be free. "Bronwyn, we need to switch." They both stopped running in the gardens, all the other children looking at the blond haired child and Olive struggling to hold her. "I can't hold her... Get ready to grab her."

"You will do no such thing, Olive." Miss. Peregrine made her way down the garden at a speeding pace. "Put her down." Olive did as she was instructed, Mrs. Peregrine placed her hands gently on Aella's upper arms to stop her running away. "Aella, look at me darling." Aella's watery eyes were locked on the floor, not seeing how she could escape. She simply stood still - limp - as Miss. Peregrine ever-so-carefully wiped the tears from her cheeks. "I know you're sad, but we can make it all better. You're here because you're special and you need special protection for that." Aella shook her head at the statement, the movement both wild and numb at the same time.

"I'm being punished, don't lie to me. I'm being punished because of the man. They think it's my fault..." Tears filled her eyes again - full of pain - and she was pulled into Miss. Peregrine, the woman standing and walking away from the gardens, not wanting the other children to pry onto something so sensitive... So unfit for a child to know. Once they were alone in the house, Miss. Peregrine sat down and cradled the small girl.

"You aren't be punished for something that you were powerless over. What that man did to you was cruel, and it'll never happen again. Not while you're under my protection." She whispered gently, Aella's cries becoming hiccups.

"How long am I protected?" Aella asked with her bleary, stinging eyes having a small glimmer of hope falling in them. Miss. Peregrine smiled softly, brushing the hair out of Aella's face.

"Forever and always, my dear."

"Wait, my sister came here?" Jake stopped dead in the gardens, staring at Miss. Peregrine with wide, shocked eyes." Aella was here all this time, and no one ever told me?" Hurt filled his heart, but Miss. Peregrine simply shook her head with kind eyes.

"Not always here, Jake. She needed to age to fulfil her duty. Like Abe, she travels the world and hunts the monsters of this world." Jake gave a soft smile at the imagery. It didn't feel out of place: his fierce sister taking on the most feared things in this world.

"She always was the Łowczyni." Jake remembered how his sister was, even at such a young age. Fearless, unwavering and strong.

"I never did find out what that meant." Miss. Peregrine commented with a fond smile, taking an inhale from her pipe. "She always used to call herself that."

"It means 'huntress'. I was the tiger, she was the huntress... At least hers has truth to it, I guess." Jake gave another smile, sad this time, thinking on how Aella used to tackle him from behind and hug him tight. God, he missed her. Jake had begun to think she was an imaginary friend, since their parents got rid of any trace of her.

"If she is the huntress, we shall awaken the tiger in you, Jacob Portman." Miss. Peregrine smiled, linking her arm with the teen, pulling him along as she continued to introduce everyone. Jake took note of them all - but he already knew them all, so they continued in silence for a while.

"Was she like me? Normal?" He asked and got an amused, but pointed look.

"She hunts monsters, Jake, she's far from normal. Just like you." She smiled. "I'm sure she'll be along soon enough - always listening for news on you, you know - and she can tell you the answers to your queries."

They spoke no more of Aella, but Jake found some solace with Emma after she put her shoes back on and they headed towards the house for dinner. "It's an odd thought, you know." Emma began, pushing back her waves of hair from her face. "I watched your grandfather and your sister grow up. At least you're before me already grown." Emma gave a sad smile as they continued up the gardens.

"Where you close with them?" Jake asked gently, so many more questions burning inside him.

"I thought I was close with Abe... Aella on the other hand, never misses an opportunity to make me feel loved. She's quite the hugger."

"Ahh, she always was." Jake laughed as they entered the house. "Never missed an opportunity to show affection." They headed up the stairs, but heard a laugh.

"Damn right."
