After school ended, Daphne ran to Sophie's locker. Sure enough, she was there.

" Hey Soph, how did you ditch Sandor?"

" Well, it was a complicated process involving needing him to go to Gildingham because of something he wouldn't tell me so Flori is here."

" Flori who?"

Daphne heard a cough behind her. She turned &... " Gahhh!" right behind her was a gnome who looked exactly like her name, with big, wet, brown eyes like dirt, pale green skin, & flowers woven into her dark green hair.

Flori cleared her throat, & said, " Sorry for scaring you." Her voice was like a melody that puts people to sleep. " It seems like this is a private conversation so I will be near, but won't hear what you are saying."

" When you come to Havenfield, can you come without the elixirs? And you getting past my blocking will be a threat," said Sophie

Daphne took a deep breath, " Ok"

" No, please- wait. Did you say ' ok'?"

"Yes, I did. I agree that it is a huge threat & people need to know. But... how many people will be there?"

" Oh, uh, just a few people, like the uh, Collective. You know. Those people."

Daphne was suspicious but didn't argue. " Fine so we leave... now?"

" Yeah, I guess."

" Do you have the elixirs?"

" Yes." Daphne drank the elixir & turned into her normal self.

Flori turned, her eyes wide, " But- What-How?"

Daphne suppressed a smile as they light leaped to Havenfield.
