Kae is very frightened and confused. First, she was told by an old man to follow a path south. Now she is following a stranger by the name of Gabriel, who is helping Kate and her siblings get to a village where they can be safe. They end up running intomonster known as Screechers and are stuck in a sticky situation

Kate must feel irresponsible. She was told to take care of her siblings and she didn't do it for she had lost her brother in a different time period. Now she has to go back in time to get her brother back and escape alive. "Her mother had asked her to do one thing. Keep her brother and sister safe. And she hadn't done it"(67).

I think that Kate is having a lot of trouble protecting her siblings but at the same time, she has to worry about what happens to her surroundings. In the story, Kate and her two siblings, MIchael and Emma, they have to keep traveling from one orphanage to another which is painful for them since they never get adopted. ow they are going to a place called Cambridge Falls to live even though nobody ever heard of it.
