Later that you you got invited by Emma to play another game with them. The children called it raid the village. Though apparently Alma didn't approve so they planned to sneak out while she was busy and be back for lunch. They told the younger children to approve their alibis and then ran off with you in tail. Though Enoch and Horace chose not to participate.
You watched the chaos begin around you. It started with small things, an invisible force (Millard) tripping a few people. Then a mysterious fire set the pub alight, that being Olive's work. Bees flew around, stinging anyone and everyone. Eventually you decided to get in on the fun.
You decided snakes were terrifying to some. So why not become the biggest one to have ever existed? The titanoboa! You were suddenly a 59 foot long, 4 foot wide snake. People were screaming much louder than before, though you made no move to harm anyone. You knew if you did Alma would kill you.
Everyone enjoyed their torture until people round up an angry mob and you had to leave. Upon arriving back at the house you found Alma, waiting on the porch for all of you. "Raid the village? Again, really? And you dragged Y/n into it this time?"
"Sorry Miss Peregrine." They all apologized at once, though you just shrugged like you didn't turn into a giant snake to terrorize the villagers.
"I'll speak with you all later. Go inside. But Y/n, a word?" You shrugged again, moving to stand beside her. "Did they kill anyone?" She asked when the children had all gone inside.
"Nope, worst they did was start a fire."
"Did you do anything bad?"
"I turned into a giant snake but I didn't hurt anyone, I didn't want you on my case about it."
"Miss Peregrine!" Someone yelled from across the yard, approaching the two of you. No, two people were walking over. "You have some explaining to do."
"Faster than usual... You sure they didn't kill anyone?" She asked you quietly as the two people approached. Now you recognized one as the pub landlord, a rather rude fellow. And the other seemed to be a cop.
"Oh a new one? When did you get another kid? You know you're supposed to make the town aware." The police officer spoke.
"She arrived yesterday. I planned on letting you know later today."
"She's just as ugly as the rest.." The landlord muttered, making Alma send him a sharp glare, effectively shutting him up.
"Unimportant. Ma'am are you aware your children set the Priest Hole aflame, killing three people inside?"
"I most certainly was not. I didn't even know they went down to the village. But I'll make sure to talk to them." She knew very well that they weren't going to leave that easy, but tried anyway.
"A talking to won't do, we need to take them in."
She sighed. "Well, I tried." She stepped forward and kneed the officer in the crotch. He fell to the ground easily. "Always so weak." She muttered to herself as she knelt down and twisted his neck, effectively killing him. Afterwards she turned to the landlord, kicking him in the knee, making it buckle, making him fall over same as the officer. She then repeated the same steps, murdering this man as well. You just stared, unable to do anything. You weren't even sure if you would want to get in the woman's way if you could.
When she stood up again she looked over at you, seeing the horror on your face she seemed to realize what she'd just done. Alma was honestly so used to it she'd forgotten others weren't. "Oh darling, I'm sorry, I should've sent you inside when they arrived." She spoke, putting a hand on your shoulder. You shook your head.
"No, no, it's alright. I don't even know why I'm surprised. Need any help moving the bodies?"

It's short and I honestly just wanted to get it over with, even I'm getting annoyed with myself
