Ellie sat in the corner of the kitchen, sipping on her cup of tea. Of course, Conner and Scott had no idea she was there. To them, the chair was empty and vacant, which in all reality it was not. Ellie's eyes lay on her book, a copy of Charles Dickens' [i]A Tale of Two Cities[/i], which sat in her lap, camouflaged like the rest of her. Suddenly a large shadow appeared above her and shaded her book. Then a blue figure descended on her. "Kurt!" She reappeared, visible to the eye. 

"Oh! Sorry, Ellie I didn't see you there..." He said before cracking a small smile. "See...you see what I did there?" He then burst into laughter at his own joke. Ellie smiled, laughing quietly.

"Very funny, Kurt." She said, returning her attention to her book, but then standing up, deciding she was done reading. "Do you know where Professor Hank is?" She asked, turning to Kurt, who shook his head. 

"Try his office or maybe the library." He responded in his German accent. He sat down in a different chair, weary as not to step on his pointed tail. Ellie left the kitchen and headed towards the library in search of Professor Hank. Before she entered the hallway, she forced herself to disappear out of sight.
