"Yes go pack, and yes Alexander be prepared for anything you think could happen. The in-between is a dangerous place and is constantly changing. Only go if you're ready for that." Elenore looked at each of the kids Sumi had chosen to go with her and paused on Kade. The two shared a look that had to be a full conversation. 

"All right Sumi, this is your quest, lead the way," Kade said to her. Sumi grinned and shouted.

"Get packing, meet in the foyer in ten minutes. Yes, you can bring weapons." She grabbed Hannah's hand and dashed up the stairs, the candle they had been holding blew out, but the pair of them seemed to find their way just fine.

As soon as they were gone one of the girls who had not been invited started complaining. "Why is it always Sumi? Why can't any of us go?"

"The more in the in-between the more dangerous it is. Also, it is her quest and technically she wasn't on the last quest she was the last quest." Kade said rolling his eyes and then left the dining room to go up to the attic. His lips were drawn tightly.
