I'm back! Sorry it took so long, I was at my friend's house then at swim, etc. Hope you enjoy!
THALIA POV
Thalia paced around the room. This is all my fault! she thought.
Bronwyn, Isla, and Millard burst through the door. Thalia saw Victor's limp body in Bronwyn's arms and covered her mouth.
"Oh my birds..." Emma whispered. Claire started crying and Olive pulled her into her lap. Enoch walked off to get Miss Peregrine and, though he tried hard to hide it, tears poured down his face. Thalia couldn't blame him. Victor was his best friend, and Thalia wouldn't be able to handle it nearly as well as he was if it were Isla in Bronwyn's arms.
Five minutes later Miss Peregrine rushed into the room. "Children, all of you to bed except for Miss Bruntley. There will be no movie time tonight."
Isla ran over to Thalia and dragged her upstairs. They went inside their room and sat on Isla's bed in silence. It was broken ten minutes later by Fiona opening the door and sitting down next to them. Thalia looked away from her friends. "This is all my fault!" She repeated her previous thought aloud.
Isla forced her to look her in the eyes. "No it's not. You can't control how someone else feels. Victor's...death" she choked on the word and cleared her throat. "was no one's fault but his. Do you understand? Not yours. Not even Horace's, though he could've acted better. Victor's."
Thalia nodded and Isla hugged her tightly. Fiona joined in and they stayed that way for a while.
They broke apart and Fiona said she was going to bed.
Thalia and Isla stayed on Isla's bed. After a while Isla asked, "Do you want to go for a swim?"
Thalia smiled. "I'd love to."
Alright. I know it hardly makes up for the wait, but there it is. Also, this is the last chapter before I start getting into the first book/movie combination. I hope the wait won't be as long, but I make no promises. I should also rewatch the movie and feel free to correct any mistakes. Bye!
