At first I thought  it was Fiona, before I realised it had co e from the conservatory. I rushed to get there - but whatever happened, it included Lily, dead on the floor, and Jason, with one of Enoch's knives with him. The same vines Fiona used yesterday had grown up from the floor, and were now wrapped tightly around Lily's neck. Blood spurted from her jaw and a deep would was found on her ribs. Her shoulder bone was sticking out at an odd angle, and one of her crimson eyes were missing. "A hollow..." I breathed. But it was nowhere to be seen. "You," I hissed at Jason. "You called of, didn't you? And killed it before it did what you wanted to do. Kill her." Jason stood up and grabbed the top of my murky black shirt. "You catch on quick, boy, but if you tell anyone -" "Hugh!" I turned to see Fiona with her hands clapped over her mouth. Jason growled at her. "Get out, sister," he argued. Fiona didn't budge. "Don't. Call. Me. Sister." She growled, and the vines leapt from Lily's dead neck and sliced through Jason leg, making him drop me. Fiona rushed over to me and gave me a huge hug. "Oh, Hugh..." She whispered. "He killed Lily." I muttered slowly. Fiona nodded. "Emma's gone to find Miss Peregrine and Bronwyn and Abe are keeping Horace, Olive and Claire entertained upstairs. Enoch, like always, can't be bothered, and Millard is in this very room." "Don't tell him that!" "Who?" "Jason!" "Oh!" Fiona stood up, grabbed my hand and tugged me up. She then tossed me to the sofa like she had down our first night, but this to s to the one in the conservatory. "Millard!" She yelled. "Now!" All of a sudden, Jason fell forward, unconscious. Millard whooped SNF Fiona high-fived him, working out his whereabouts because of his voice, just as I had done when I was blind. Maybe she got her tactics from me. Emma, Miss Peregrine and Thomas appeared in the doorway. "Jason." Miss Peregrine said sternly. "You led a hollow into our home. You let it kill a girl. You out the lives of every peculiar here in danger, including your sister." I knew Fiona was about to object, so I put my hand over her mouth. She kissed it.
