Penelope led the way back inside.
"Shouldn't we leave the estate?" Ally asked, afraid she would be caught up in a fight. She didn't have any part in the conflict between Quinn and the Collinses.
"That would be dangerous. This estate is the safest place you could be in Lockwood. Did you not see how many guards were rushing? Our father would not leave us with too few guards to protect us," Lily assured Ally.
"Still," Ally said, uncertain about staying.
"If you wish to leave, then go, but I will not join you," said Julie.
Julie held Rue's hand as she walked. At the moment, Rue wasn't afraid, so Julie didn't think she should be afraid.
"No one will be leaving. Now is not the time to act without sense. The estate is safe, and until my mother says otherwise, we will not be going anywhere. I will chain you somewhere if I must to keep you safe," said Penelope.
