The family gathers (1)

Kyra and the Dartwood siblings had just walked in when they heard the sound of hooves behind them in the distance.

Kyra turned around to vaguely see a carriage being pulled by two large stag like beasts galloping towards them as dust rose in the air behind.

"Is it them?" For a second, Kyra's heart was uplifted, thinking it was Fredrick and the Greenwood sisters who had come to fetch her. She hurriedly rushed forwards towards the gate in excitement with a grin on her face.

"Miss Waffles..I mean Kyra, wait!" Stephen spoke as he followed her. "Watch out for the barrier!"

Meanwhile, Selena's eyes lit up as she recognised who it was and rushed forwards as well.

Kyra heard Stephen's words, and it was only now after she got closer, she noticed a faint translucent wall in front of her that separated the manor from the outside. She excitedly stood there waiting to see her two friends.
