Here's another chapter! This will be continuing from where I left off last chapter.
(Movieverse)
Claire's POV
It wasn't too long before Emma came back, with Jacob! We all (except Enoch) greeted him happily. A few moments after, Emma asked Bronwyn and I to go fetch something she left in the ship's old dining hall. Bronwyn and I happily skipped down to the dining hall. We grabbed the thing Emma wanted. About halfway back, where the ships doors were, I slipped on some water. "Be careful Claire" I heard a familiar voice say. I turned my head to see Miss Peregrine. I jumped right up and hugged her. She flinched a little and I pulled away. "Oh miss Peregrine, did I hurt you?" I asked. She smiled "no Claire, it's just my arm, I believe it's broken, I will just need to take care of it."she said. I nodded taking her not-hurt arms hand and took her to the steering room. She was then greeted by everyone else (even Enoch). "Well, seeing that everyone is alright, the next thing we need to focus on is finding a new place to live." Miss Peregrine said, wincing at her arm. "And finding a cure for your arm." Emma said. Miss Peregrine nodded. Emma ran to the other room to find something for Miss Ps arm. "Alright, Millard, do you have the map?" Miss Peregrine asked. "Yes, right here." He said handing it to her. "Alright, let's find a place for our new home." Miss p said.
~~Time Skip to about a week later~~
Alright, miss Peregrine found a perfect loop location. It is kind of near cairnhelm, it's a different island. We found a house on that island, it was pretty big, it had a lot of room inside and out. It was very pretty, it was a lot like our old house. It was made of bricks with vines and a conservatory. It was four stories tall, it also had a basement. The outside had a courtyard on one side, a little empty field the Fiona was going to use for a garden, a garden shed, and a big field, also empty. The house was surrounded by trees with a little path leading to the villages on the island. First we all chose rooms. We all chose rooms where or rooms would be if it were the old house, like how my room was next to Millard and Miss Peregrines rooms. After that Fiona grew plants and topiary to make it not so empty outside. Our new loop date September 11th,1943. I had asked Miss Peregrine why we needed another loop. She told me that without one we wouldn't be safe because there are still more hollows out there. She also said that if we were to grow older and leave we wouldn't be safe. Well she was lucky that I liked this house a lot. (I still missed the old one though)
The first couple days everyone was busy, no one wanted to play, except The Twins and I would play together. I missed Bronwyn playing with us, but miss Peregrine needs her to do all of the heavy lifting.
The third night I was getting ready for bed. I walked over to my bed and sat down, I looked over at Miss Bear. I was glad I brought her. She was the one thing that reminded me of home besides my friends. I grabbed Miss Bear and decided to go to Bronwyn. I went up to her room and knocked on the door. She opened it up. "Hello- oh hi Claire." She said excitedly. "Hi Bronwyn! I just came to talk to you since we haven't talked for three days..." I said. She nodded. "Miss Peregrine said she won't need me tomorrow so we can definitely play!" She said. "Yay!" I said hugging her. "Goodnight Bronwyn!" I said. "Goodnight Claire, I look forward to it!" She said. I happily skipped back to my room, I closed my door behind myself. I climbed into bed holding Miss Bear close. I whispered to Miss Bear. "Do you miss the home? I miss it too. I wish it weren't bombed. I miss my mum too, even though she sold me… I know she still loves me" I said looking at Miss Bear. "She didn't mean to sell me, you know? It was my dad… he was scared of me." I said. I started to cry a bit, hugging Miss Bear again. "At least I have Miss P and the others. T-they are my t-true family." I said, and soon enough, I fell asleep.

Claire…
Claire…
What?
I opened my eyes.
Mum?
Yes sweetheart.
Why did you leave me?
You know I didn't mean to...
I miss you mum
I miss you too sweetheart.
My mum pulled me close.
I began to cry, she did too…

I woke up from my dream. I was glad, it was a sad dream. I grabbed Miss Bear and walked downstairs to our new dining room. I went to where my seat would be. "Hold on Claire, I am going to give you children new seats." She said. I nodded. The rest of the kids came in. "Alright children, since this is a new house, I will give you kids new dining seats. On my left it will be Olive, Horace, Millard, Fiona, Hugh, Bronwyn at the head. On the right it will be Jacob, the Twins, Enoch, Emma, and Claire."Miss Peregrine said. We all sat down. I had a pretty good seat! I was between Emma and Bronwyn! I turned to Bronwyn and smiled. She smiled back.
~~after breakfast~~
After breakfast the older kids helped Miss P, the rest of us played outside. Bronwyn and I took our stuffies to find a new tea party spot. We found a perfect one in the courtyard. It was in the shade of a tree by some roses and peonies. Next we played dolls inside. (Miss Peregrine bought us some new ones) they were Miss Evelyn and Miss Charlotte. We played all the way until 3:00 (with lunch in between) we had two and a half hours until dinner. We decided to ask Fiona if she wanted to have a tea party. We went outside to her new garden, she was growing vegetables while Hugh was talking to her. We walked over to Fiona and Hugh. "Hi Fiona, hello Hugh! Would either of you like to have a tea party?" Bronwyn asked. "I'd love that! I just need to finish these veggies first." Fiona said. "I would love to go but I promised Millard I would play soccer… maybe another time?" Hugh said. Bronwyn and I nodded. We went inside and asked Miss Peregrine to make some tea. Next we grabbed some leftover scones that were served with lunch. We went to our tea spot and set up. Miss Peregrine came out with our tea a few moments later with Fiona following. "Here's the tea, Olive helped. And here is your other guest." Miss Peregrine said. Fiona, Bronwyn, and I sat down. This was our first tea party in this house.
~~after tea, before dinner~~
After we cleaned up the tea party, it was dinner time. We all went in the dining room and sat down. Miss Peregrine had set out our dinner. It was the same as back at the old house. It was the same amazing, tender, juicy goose we always had. And the potatoes! And the carrots! It was almost like we were back at that house…
After eating we went outside to reset the loop. It was raining, but there was no bombs.
After the reset we all went to bed. I curled up in my bed with Miss Bear.
I don't think this loop will be that bad after all. I thought.
The end of this chapter! I hope it was good!
