I had to run because the dove flew really fast.
After a while, the bird stopped in front of a big hollow tree.
I glanced behind me to see if anyone was following.
When I turned around, the dove was nowhere to be seen. I sat down, suddenly feeling scared and lost.
I took a deep breath and attempted to do what made everyone call me a freak.
I was alone. When I thought no one was watching, I stretched my hands out, and thought. The leaves around me began to swirl and fly around and above my head.
I slightly moved my hands together and the leaves fell neatly into my palms. I told them to disperse, away from my fingers, making a wave of leaves burst outwards, away from my body.
All the pretty colors blended together, flying so fast, it made a rustling noise.
I whispered "stop".
They froze.
When I dropped my hands to my sides, the leaves fell gently and silently.
When they all settled, I saw a woman. She had red hair, fading color, showing her aging.
She smiled.
"You are peculiar. I knew it." she said with hope.
"I am most certainly ordinary, excuse me!" I said, embarrassed that she saw me do what I did with the leaves.
"There are others. Just like you, but different. My loop is too full for another peculiar, but I am sure Miss Peregrine will accept you." The red head said.
"Miss who? Who are you?" I said questionably.
"I, my child, I am Miss Dove." the woman exclaimed cheerfully.
"Now if you would like to know why and where I am leading you to, I suggest you follow me."

Miss Dove explained to me what peculiars were, along the way. She told me about wights, and hollows, and most importantly, the ymbrynes.
We got on a ferry. She had money to pay for the trip.... As if she knew I was coming..
The ferry took us to an island called Cairnholm. Miss Dove marched me straight to the big boulders and rocky cliffs.
"Im taking you to Miss Peregrine, for she will do a better job taking care of you, child." She said sadly.
We stopped at a cave. It was pitch black. Miss Dove ushered me inside, but I didn't budge.
I was afraid of the dark.
Miss Dove had to push me inside the cave, which she said was a loop. She was pretty strong for an old woman.
We walked out.
In the clearing, I saw the roof of a big house. It was beautiful.
"Ah! There it is! Miss Peregrine is expecting us now!" she laughed.
"Dont want to be late dont we?"
I forced a smile.
Miss Dove was ok, I guess. I wonder what this Miss Peregrine she was talking about was going to be like.
We walked through the trees, and onto a lawn with amazing, big bush statues.
The mansion towered over the trees and everything around it.
A girl with big, bulky shoes jogged towards us. Wow, I thought to myself. Aren't those shoes heavy?
"Emma! Delighted to see you once again love! Have you seen Miss Peregrine?" Miss Dove quickly asked the girl.
"Miss P just sent me to look for you. Horace had a dream about you and the girl." Emma replied.
"Come on, I will get Miss Peregrine for you." Emma said, gesturing towards the house. We followed. Just when Emma began to knock, a woman smoking a pipe quickly answered the door.
"Ah! Right on time! Alma LeFay Peregrine, honored to meet you Miss Crofford." She said, holding out a hand.
I shook it. How did she know my last name? Ive never met her before...
"I am so very glad Miss Dove found you! You'll fit right it quite nicely, like a glove. If you dont mind, you are going to stay with us from now on, so I hope you enjoy it here." Miss Peregrine explained. "Now, Emma, why dont you introduce everyone to Miss Crofford, will you dear? As you are doing so, I am going to have a chat with Miss Dove." And with that, Miss Peregrine and Miss Dove slipped away to make some tea.
Emma turned to me. "Everyone is outside. Would you like to meet them?" she asked, eyes full of hope. I had no other choice but to say yes.
Before we stepped outside, Emma looked at me and asked, "I hope you don't mind asking, but what is your name? I didn't quite catch it earlier.."
"My name is Eleanor. Eleanor Crofford."
My name is Eleanor.
