Have a good day :)

...

It had been days since the system had explained to me about the peculiarities I would gain if I managed to complete the second mission successfully and today it was finally the day when we would go to the island.

By the way, before continuing, I forgot to mention that I also asked the system about that supposed "Update" and what would happen when that happened, but he just told me that I would have to do the mission to find out, so I didn't insist on the subject anymore, anyway, I wouldn't have to wait too long.

Going back to the important topic, that night I didn't sleep well because of the excitement I felt, not because I was going to the island, but because in a few days, my life would undergo a huge change and I would go from being "Crazy" Jacob to being Jacob, the peculiar, something exciting, something I looked for years in my previous world but didn't find.

In my previous life I had rarely been so excited, the first time was when my company became one of the most famous and I started to earn large amounts of money and the second time was when I found out where my biological parents lived, but as you know, that last time didn't go too well... But that doesn't matter, I'm sorry for my previous parents, but now I had a family, who, although not perfect, loved me, so I can't complain at all, there was only one thing that gnawed at my mind all these days, how should I tell my new parents about my condition? I mean, I don't want to leave Cairnholm, I don't want to go back to Florida, my intentions are to stay there forever and explore the exciting world that I have so longed for, but I will be honest, my parents make me feel sorry for them.

While it is true that they had their flaws like everyone else, they were my parents, my family and leaving them made me feel quite bad, don't get me wrong, this is not only because of the feelings of the original Jacob towards his family, but also mine, because now that I had the love of a family and parents who loved me, Abandoning them means that I would hurt them, a lot of damage and that didn't seem morally right to me, that's why I thought and thought I should do, I was clear that I didn't want to come back here, I wanted to stay there with the peculiar children and live exciting adventures, that was something that was quite clear to me and I didn't doubt it, but I didn't know exactly what to do with my parents, it's a very difficult decision to make, I understand why Jacob hesitated to stay in both the film and the book.

That's why I thought for days what I should do with my parents, because as I said before, coming back here is not an option, but I didn't want to make them suffer either, so that left me only one option, to tell them the truth.

Since I won't be going back to Florida (at least for a good while), I'll have to tell my mother that I won't be back, once there, of course, but I won't call her directly, I know it's unfair, but I'm not made of stone and I'm very sad to have to break news like that, so I'll tell my father, I'll tell him the truth when the time comes, that's all I can think of... I can't just disappear or they'll think I've been kidnapped or something like that, so I'll tell them the truth and hopefully they'll understand... and if not, then he will surely think that I have gone completely insane and will try to take me by force, one of two, but whatever happens, I will not return with my father to Florida.

Living in that world has been my dream since I started reading light novels, mangas, books, etc. And I don't plan to live a normal life in a normal world when I have within my reach the exciting world that I longed for so many years, I feel sorry for my parents, but I don't intend to abandon my dream, although maybe I can go visit them sometime, maybe in a few years, when I am of age or something, I'll see, only time can tell...

Anyway, that night I was excited, but I also felt guilty for tricking my parents into taking me to the island, for deceiving them by saying that it was ideal for my recovery when my real goal was to stay there with a group of peculiar children whom I didn't know at all and I was also nervous about what awaited me and throughout the night I remembered that phrase that appeared on the cover of the book my grandfather gave me: "To Jacob Mapellan Portman and the Worlds He Has Yet to Discover"

"The worlds that I still have to discover, isn't that exciting?" – I asked myself in the darkness while smiling.

After pondering for a long time about that phrase and its deep meaning, I fell asleep and I don't remember anything from then on...

…

The next morning.

I woke up suddenly, very early, I had slept little, but due to the adrenaline and the excitement I felt for this trip, I didn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, I was full of energy, ready for whatever the world threw at me, I believed that I could overcome anything today.

"I must admit that, in my two lives, this is the first time I feel so excited about something" – I said as I fastened my shoelaces.

I was so excited that I got dressed without realizing it and before I knew it, I was fully dressed and ready to go on the longest vacation of my life.

Last night I packed my suitcase, which wasn't too big, I only put a few changes of clean clothes in it (since I didn't know if you could wash clothes in Cairnholm with a washing machine), 3 pajamas (at my mother's request because I only wanted to take two) and the box that my grandfather gave me which had Miss Peregrine's letter and the photos of the peculiars, that's all I was going to take, apart from my phone and my charger obviously.

That said, and even though it was quite early, I took my suitcase, put it in the dining room, made myself some improvised buttered toast and ate it while watching TV and waiting for my parents to get up.

A few minutes later, they woke up and were surprised that i was already watching TV, dressed and having already had breakfast.

"Wow, it looks like you really want to go on vacation" – my father said while yawning.

"Quite a few, I'm quite excited about this trip" – I nodded.

"I honestly don't know why you're so excited, son. I've searched on internet and that island... it's not exactly a tourist paradise" – my mother said frowning.

"That's right, are you sure you want to go?" – my father asked.

"Completely and now have a quick breakfast and let's go, the train leaves in two hours" – I said.

After ignoring his question, my father got dressed, had breakfast and then we called a taxi to take us to the train station, it was the first place we had to travel to get to Cairnholm and surely the most comfortable.

"Take good care of yourselves and call me when you arrive" – my mother said while planting a kiss on my cheeks.

"Yes" – we both nodded.

Then we sat in the taxi and headed for the station.

…

Hours later.

It had been a lot of hours since we left home and we had finally arrived to Cairnholm. Although I must say that the trip was not exactly incredible, indeed, the most comfortable transport was the train. After that the transports we had to get on were not so comfortable or so pleasant. In fact, I could hear my father cursing the island on numerous occasions and other vulgar words that I will not say.

When we arrived it was horrible weather, it was cloudy as if it was about to rain but it was not raining. There were a few dimly lit street lamps, but as I could observe as I walked is that Cairnholm had no electricity, but electricity was provided through noisy generators that could be heard almost all over the island.

"Good place to come on vacation" – my father muttered.

But I ignored him.

It's true that this wasn't a paradise or anything like that, but... it was absolutely necessary for me to come here.

"Come on, Dad, we'd better look for the hotel, the weather doesn't look very pleasant" – I said.

My father looked up at the sky briefly and then nodded.

"You're right, let's go find the hotel and take shelter before we get soaking wet" – my father nodded.

Then, we set off and found the hotel without any problems... if that can be called a hotel.

The exterior of the "hotel" was completely ramshackle. It looked like an old house and the façade was faded, as if it had only been painted once and the paint had worn away over time. In fact, the sign didn't even say hotel, but it said: "Two rooms for rent", yes, I'm not exaggerating, it said that only two rooms could be rented.

"Are you sure this is the hotel?" – I asked somewhat skeptically.

"Do you doubt me? I don't like it either, but it was the only hotel on the island" – my father said with a shrug.

Well, from the little I remember about the books and the movie... This place was never cozy in either of them, not even in real life does it seem cozy.

"Let's go in anyway" – my father said.

I nodded and we both entered through the ramshackle wooden door that looked like it was going to fall apart.

The interior was... rustic, devilishly rustic, as if it had been stuck in the 1940s, ironic, isn't it?

"Excuse me, where can I find the owner?" – my father asked.

It was a bald, rather plump man who was behind a bar pouring a beer to a man who clearly didn't know about the existence of the razors.

"You've got it in front of you, I'm Kev" – Kev said with a smile.
