Miss Peregrine makes an entry into her House Journal before retiring for the night.
"Hecate, Ceridwen, and Bastet are adjusting well to their new home.
They seem like such normal little girls that I tend to forget about their true natures.
Well, except for Hecate's blue skin, but that's how normal they seem."
"Meadow's face painting project slapped me back to the reality of our situation."
"Seeing the girls with cat whiskers quickly reminded me of the warnings from the authorities who rescued the girls from Dr. Magnanimous Von Orotund's secret lab."
"'Secret lab' being his basement.
His illegal experiments with cat/human genetic manipulation and cloning were exposed by the abnormally loud meowing coming from the girls shut away in his basement. The neighbors eventually caught on."
"I was warned that there could be surprising transformations in the girls by the time they reach puberty. This is due to the metamorphical nature of Dr. Von Orotund's experiments.":
"It wasn't just cat and human DNA in his experiments.
He also included alien DNA. How he acquired samples of alien DNA is beyond me. I've heard rumors of aliens, and even seen strange things in the sky, but I was never sure of their actual existence on the planet."
"This is the reason Hecate is blue and why they believe there could be physical changes in their future.
Apparently aliens have the ability to morph their physical appearance. The girls do have vestigial cat structures on their bodies--namely for ears and a tail. We have hidden their ears within twists of their hair. Fortunately their tails are stunted and out of sight. I am concerned that they might actually grow into full features."
"I need to prepare for this possibility."
"I should introduce them to other children in the hope that strong bonding friendships flourish. These children could be their support group if the changes do occur. It could be the key to the girl's acceptance in our society and their own mental stability."
"Ugh, there is that creepy feeling again. It always sends a chill down my spine."
"Meadow insists that we have a ghost."
"I have yet to see any evidence of any such thing. Perhaps Meadow's past associations with the paranormal is excercising my imagination."
"Then again, Meadow figured out the Hecate's, Ceridwen's, and Bastet's secret quick enough.
If she insists there is a ghost, then there is probably a ghost haunting the house. She is a sharp cookie." 
"I credit my parenting skills for that."
"But what am I to do with a ghost? Exorcism?" 
"Ah, time for bed."
