'Come on, everyone. People are waiting for us,' she said with a twinkle in her eyes.
As they walked out of the large living room and back into the grand hall, a whole host of people waited to greet them, including Declan and Saleena.
'Declan!' exclaimed Emma as she rushed towards him. 'Why didn't you tell us?' she asked as Lana joined her.
Saleena smiled and walked away as Declan began to speak, 'It wasn't up to me to tell you. Ellie is the guardian, and she must tell you the truth. It's the way it's always been. How are you taking it? Are you okay?' he asked
'We're great, thanks,' said Lana, 'It's all kinda cool, actually. Quite a lot to take in, but cool. So are you, you know... one of us?' she asked cheekily.
Nodding, Declan lifted his shirt, revealing the tattoo in all its glory.
