"Who are you?! What have you done to Miss Peregrine?! Emma screamed when she saw how the bird they thought was their caregiver turned into a human. It turned out to be Jack.

At first, Jack looked at the children in confusion, standing on his haunches. But after a moment, he stood up and completely regained his human consciousness and composure.

"My name is Kaul," Jack said, hiding his real name. "And now you're all my hostages. Don't worry, Peregrine is safe. Under my care. We kidnapped her from your island a long time ago."

With a grin, Jack looked at the old woman and the children. His gaze was confident and relaxed. "I thought you'd help me with something... Hello, Balenciaga Korelek! How nice to see you again. Your dog Rafe turned out to be a great stuffed animal."

"Fiona and Claire!" one of the children suddenly remembered, realizing that they had left the girls on the island.

"You will see them again soon. It will happen faster if I am safe when my 'friends' arrive. I'm saying this because I supposedly care about you," Jack added with obvious sarcasm. "And if you don't melt the ice of your shelter, you will be ambushed. My friends will surround this room. You will die either at their hands or from starvation."

Suddenly, Jack's attention was attracted by a girl hiding behind an Alley. He felt a strange feeling that Alma would have called caring. Althea stood with an impenetrable gaze. Jack had not felt these emotions for a long time, he did not even feel caring for his sister.

"You... Whose pupil is she? Miss Korelek or Peregrine?" "What is it?" he asked, trying to figure out why this girl had caused him such feelings.
