Kat nodded, "can't you make them stop yelling," she whispered.  "I don't want to go away forever."  She shuddered slightly at the thought, glancing past Julia to the people outside.  "They make each other mad a lot," she added.  "And my mom just left Danae here, it's not fair that she gets to stay."
 
She was right.  Julia looked at the others and then back at Kat before turning around "Come on kiddo.. we're going to stop them from fighting.  I don't want you to go away either."
 
And she didn't.  Rachel wanted out, Derek and the others wanted to protect them.
 
"I'll do my best." she promised as she lowered herself enough for Kat to hop onto her back.  And she would.  Hopefully the others would stop arguing if they saw how upset it made Kat -- especially considering all of their reasons for doing so in the first place was to keep her safe.
 
They just had to be reminded that they were all on the same side.
