Trust me, I know I have a horrible track record of sticking with my stories. But I've promised myself that this one WILL be completed! My writing skills are mediocre at best, so I apologize! I'll do my very best. However, one thing that really spurs me on is reviews! I get discouraged when nobody reviews my stories, because what's the point if nobody cares? Anyways, hope you enjoy!

"Children, not so fast." Miss Peregrine said to the kids all running in separate directions after lunch. "I've been meaning to tell you something for a while, but I couldn't find the right time. Now, I'm afraid that I have to. This will effect all of us, but mostly... Olive."

Everyone was sitting again, and I furrowed my brow. "What is it?"

Miss Peregrine took a deep breath before beginning. "Olive, the trauma you've experienced your whole life before coming here was too great. It would've been nearly impossible for you to adjust as quickly as you did, and I feared that you would always be different. However, there was... another option. As an ymbryn, I had the power to rid you of the painful memories of your past and all of your current injuries. So I did. But... That only lasts for a certain amount of time. And the time is up tonight. Olive, when you wake up tomorrow morning, you will remember everything you forgot, and... have the same injuries as when I met you."

My mouth was agape, much like everyone else's. "I... I have things I don't remember?"

"You're memories were altered, Olive. You believe you grew up with your parents in a loving home, right?"

I nodded. Of course I grew up with my parents. After discovering my peculiarity when I burned down a bush, my parents took me out of school. I was home schooled by Mom and Dad would always take me for walks, letting me enjoy the scenery around our little house. When I was 16, Miss Peregrine brought me to the children's home, where I could live without worry of someone discovering my unique quality.

"Well, so you won't be so surprised tomorrow, I guess I'll tell you the basics." Miss Peregrine looked somber, which I decided did not look good on her. It made the young ymbryn look much older. "Are you alright with the others being here?"

I looked around the table at my family, making eye contact with each of them. I've trusted them all for a long time, and it would feel wrong to exclude them from something this important. I nodded mutely once again, still trying to absorb whatever was going on.

She took another breath, long and slow, before starting to tell the basics of my apparently traumatizing life. "You did live a good life, up until you turned 7. You, accidentally, started a small house fire. You're parents believed you to be... a freak. So they locked you in your room, unable to touch anything. Then, after a few years, they gave you away to a travelling circus. You were a performer." she seemed unable to go on, instead smoothing down her coat. "Well, that's all I'll tell you. Everyone is dismissed."

The mood had changed drastically, and I numbly followed Enoch to his room like I had began to do before the announcement. Once he shut the door, we were both silent. He made no move to go sit at his desk, and I didn't make any to stand in my usual spot.

"Olive," he ran a hand through his hair, switching between examining the floor boards and looking at me intently. "I want you to know, I'm not very good at this stuff, but," he paused. "You're always welcome to talk to me if you need to. Or just if you want to."

"Really?" I asked in a whisper.

"We are friends, aren't we?" he asked, before adding in, "Day or night. Whenever you need me."

I smiled warmly. "Thank you." He wasn't expecting it, but I launched myself forward to hug him. I could feel him stiffen up before relaxing, return the embrace.
