Millards POV
I was moving to a new loop today. It was a bit frightening. I was about to knock on the large wooden door that stood in front of me but it opened before my knuckles could make contact. Behind it stood who I assumed to be my new ymbryne.

"Ah you must be Millard."

"That's me."

I let a nervous sigh escape me, before smiling softly. Before I remembered she couldn't see me.

"I'm Miss Peregrine. Won't you come and meet the other children?"

"Alright then."

Walking through the large doorway, I let my eyes soak in my surroundings.

"Children! Come and meet our new peculiar!"

Miss Peregrine's shout echoed slightly around the large house.

There was a ruckus as a group of peculiars came from every direction to meet me.

There was an array of children. All different ages.

"Children this is Millard."

Miss Peregrine introduced me, putting her hands on my coated shoulders.

"Hello Millard!"

"You may not be able to see him but I expect that you all treat him with respect and love him just as we do everyone else around here. Got it?"

The ymbryne sternly glanced around to meet every pair of eyes on front of her.

"Where are Enoch and Y/N?"

A girl in a green suit and braids spoke up, "Enoch has been terribly grumpy today and Y/N's right there next to Emma."

"Y/N sweetheart, I know you just got here a few weeks ago too, and you know how it feels to be new, so if you could please become visible to the rest of us and help Millard get comfortable, that would be ever so nice of you."

Miss Peregrine spoke softly, her voice like velvet almost coaxed myself to become visible. Unfortunately that was impossible.

Golly she was beautiful. And her peculiarity, it's so similar to mine. She's perfect. I red dust her cheeks and she looked at her feet, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Okay children, run along, Y/N, show Millard around please."

"Yes Miss Peregrine."

With a beckoning motion for me to follow her, she started walking.

"This way is the parlor, and in there is the dining room, oh and through there is the kitchen."

We went on with our tour until finally she showed me to my room.

"You really think i'm pretty?"

She asked with such forwardness if you weren't looking at her you wouldn't guess her face had flushed a deep red.

"Uhm."

I stuttered, choking on my own spit.

"One of my peculiarities is to read people's minds."

"Oh...well yes I do."

I breathed, reaching to scratch the back of my neck.

And she was gone. I blinked and she was gone. But then I felt her peck my cheek, and I heard her giggle and run out of my room. An adorable invisible girl. Wow.
