Miss Wren had cried herself dry and was sobbing dryly, struggling to breath at all.
-----------
Miss Nightjar pulled back. "It's horrible. Half my chest is gone." She said quietly. "I didn't want.you to know because I thought perhaps you wouldn't be interested in me."
-----------------
Mother Dust grinned. "It tastes great."
----------------------
Beth nodded. "I'll had in my resignation tomorrow."
-------------
"He got us to shore...we even rescued the boat and the catch...but I was so scared. You told me not to, and I shoudl've listened!" She exclaimed.
“Oh auntie… you’re home safe…” she whispered. “Caleb kept you safe, didn’t he?”
Sally nodded. "He put me straight in the lifeboat...he did it all right" She promised.
“Good. He kept you safe. He put you first” Enid said seriously
"Yes. But I...I was so scared...I was so scared I wouldn't get home to you!" She cried, destroyed. "I'm sorry!" She felt so guilty.
“It’s alright…. Don’t be sorry auntie, I’m just so happy you’re safe!” Enid said
Sally nodded. "It was so terrifying!" She exclaimed, clinging on.
-------
Cassia looked at Delia. "I can't believe this just happened."
“I know auntie… I know” Enid said softly, rubbing her back. “But you’re home and you’re safe”

“I’m sorry you went through that” deli said softly
Sally started to cry, shaking. "It was to scary!"

“I know” Enid said softly, gently leading her back to the bed. “Come lie down. You’ll feel better when you sleep”

“Of course. I’m glad I could help” Delia

Cassia nodded. "It will be easier when he doesn’t gamble up all the money I make" she said trying to be posetive.

Sally nodded, crawling into the bed. "Stay" She begged, hplsing onto Enid's hand.
Delia nodded. “You can save your money that way” she agreed.

“Of course” Enid said softly
Miss Bunting was exhausted. After hearing what happened to the kidnapped Ymbrynes in Ireland, Esmeralda had ended up having another breakdown, and though Miss Bunting felt no better it was once more upon her to keep everything going.
She looked at the students. "Read chapter 51, ndnI will be back soon" she said, knowing that she needed to check on Alma. Since the incident with the knife she was now literally kept under lock and key, something that seemed to upset her. It didn't help that she wanted Esmeralda and not Rosemary, but could have the later.
Sighing, she remembered she had to check on esmeralda too.
The students grumbled quietly. They were getting bored and they missed more hands on class activities.
Miss peregrine was sitting in her room, her face pressed against the window, her eyes glazed.
Miss Bunting was too tired to even try to calm them down, running down the corridor, locking up her room. "Alma, how are you?" She asked, quickly sitting down.
Miss peregrine looked over at her but didn’t answer, she just continuidad tk stare out the window.
"Alma, talk to me. I know you refused to eat breakfast and I'm worried." Miss Bunting said. She was too tired to beat around the bush.
“I’m not hungry” Miss peregrine said. “You don’t have to worry”
"And how are you feeling otherwise?" Miss Buntif asked. "Any...any more suicidal thoughts?"
“I’m fine” miss Peregrine shrugged, still staring out the window absently. Her hair was loose and she hadn’t brushed it in a while.
"Will you eat lunch later?" Miss Bunting asked. "I can fix your hair if you want."
“Alright” Miss Peregrine said quietly. “I’m not hungry” she added.
"Well you will need to eat something today" she said firmly. "Is there anything you want to eat?" She asked, starting to brush her ling boue-black hair.
Miss peregrine shook her head. “I don’t feel like eating” she frowned, still gazing into outer space.
"Alma, eating is not negotiable. I will not let you starve yourself to death if rhat is your new trick." She said seriously.
“I’m not hungry Rosemary! I’m not doing anything!” Miss peregrine said, whipping around to look at her. There were dark circles beneath her eyes.
"Alma...maybe you should lie down and have a nap? I can tuck you in." She siggested sweetly.
“I’m not tired” Alma said quietly. “Leave me alone”
Rosemary sighed, finishing brushing her hair. "I will be back for lunch." She said simply, standing up and leaving, only to run into Miss Hoopoe.
"I'm sorry I really don't have the time" She excused herself to the older woman, ho seemed to want to talk to her.
“Rosemary, the girls are loosing it” Niss Hoopoe said. “And I got news on Lizzie”
"I'm heading vack to my students. What's with Lizzie? Oh and could you check on Gaby I really don't have time today."
“She’s doing better, but her baby girl is struggling. The one that wasn’t breathing when she was born” Miss Hoopoe reported. “I’ll go see Gaby; but I’ve got to check where Marina is first. She ran off somewhere”
"If you find Marina send her to me. She should be in class but Sigrid said she hadn't seen her today." Miss Bunting sighed, rubbing her forehead. "I'm going to tske the girls to the beach this afternoon if I'm lucky. It may help." She sighed. "And I hope Lizzie's baby gets better."
--------
As soon as Rosemary went Alma went after her to the door, checking if it was locked. She waited when she heard voices outside.
Miss Hoopoe nodded, sighing and going to find Marina.
She knocked on Marina’s door, calling for her.
Rosemary hurried back to class. "Gilrs! What's going on?"
-----------
Marina was in bed, hiding. She didn't feel good. Wilma was sitting on the floor, playing with her new doll while Perla checked on her sister.
----------
Alma left the room when she realized she cpuld escape, careful not to be seen.
“We finished reading” Sigrid said “we don’t know what else to do”
____
“Marina, why aren’t you in class?” Miss Hoopoe asked sternly.
"You do independant recapping and studying for your exam." Miss Bunting said firmly. "I will take you all to the beach to practice in bird form this afternoon. Till then you will have to make due. So either work for the exam, do yeasterdays extra assignment if you haven't, or read chapter 104 and in the other text book. I will be back to cveck." She insisted, knoeing she had to check on Miss Avocet.
---------
"Because she's feeling ill" Perla explained. "I think she has a fever."
--------
Alma went into the kitchen, joyous to have access to it unhindred. She quickly stole a few fruits frommthe bowl, putting them in her pocket. She took a packet of biscuits in her arms too. Then, she went to the knife drawer.
The girls stifled groans and nodded, though they looked excited at the prospect of the beach.
——
Miss Hoopoe frowned, going clear to Marina. “I’ll for real, or Ill like you want to get out of class?” She asked
"She has a fever" Perla repeated. "Don't be mean." She told the ymbryne.
--------
Miss Bunting didn't listen, hurrying off again.
"Esmeralda?"
----------
Satisfied with her loot, Alma started to creep back to her room.
“I’m not being mean” Miss Hoopoe said, going to feel Marina’s forehead and sighing. “You are a little warm” she agreed.
___
Miss Avocet was asleep, curled up on their bed under the blankets.
Miss Bunting sighed, deciding she could take the girls to the beach straight away if she was asleep. So she hurried back.
"Change of plans. We can go to the beach nwo"
The girls cheered, chattering amongst themselves as they put their school things away
"I don't feel good" Marins moaned.
-------
Miss Bunting smield, starting to lead them out of the walk in the warm spanish heat.
“Sit up and let me look at you” Miss Hoopoe sighed. “Did something happen? You were fine yesterday”
____
The girls talked happily as they went, all giddy and anxious to get to the beach.
Marina shook her head sitting up.
-------
Miss Bunting felt sweaty and faint by the time they got there, but ignored it.
"Alrigjt, I want us all to transform." Miss Buntign tried to go first, but instead she was overwhelmed by a sudden onset of dizzyness. She stumbldd, nearly fslling over.
“Miss, are you alright?” Francesca ran over to her.
___
Miss Hoopoe sighed. “Alright. Lie down I’ll bring you rea with honey”
Marina nodded, laying back down.
Wilma looked up. "Granny! I can go eith you?" She asked.
-------
Miss Bunting collaosed then, trying to catch herself on Franscesca.
Miss Hoopoe tucked the blanket back around her and nodded, picking Wilma up. “Come on. Let’s get some tea for Marina.
___
“Miss bunting needs help!” Marina shouted to the other girls.
The other girls came running over, Sigrid soon taking charge. What little medical knowledge she had was more than the other girls.
"Miss can you hear me?" She shook Miss Bunting's shoulder. "Does anyone have water?"
--------
Wilma smiled. "Yeah! Help Marina." The girl smiled.
