Zaiden who was still in his pajamas, asked as soon as he entered. "Hazel, what's going on? Is everything alright?"
Hazel stared at everyone and looked at her father's expressions. "As we have an emergency. Lauren fell into a portal, and we need to find her. I don't think I can rest for another minute thinking what was Lauren must be going through. I've been studying a magicsite book, that might help us locate her, but it's complicated, and I can't do it alone."
Elliott was silent while Zaiden spoke. "We're with you all the way. Tell us what we need to do." Elliott had far knowledge of these witch-spells; all he knew was that he had Lauren with him, and that's it!
"We'll do everything we can to find Lauren," Elliott reassured Hazel.
