My Light In The Dark

Chapter Three - Finally some company?

I hear his question but it doesn't register in my mind because I'm distracted by the crystals around his neck, "just like mine" I whisper to myself, but I must have said it loud enough for him to hear me because he follows my gaze and says "hm?, do you like them? I was given them by my grandfather before he died, the last thing he said was "Find her with the matching crystals" I never new what he meant and still don't know." He looks as if he is contemplating something.

I look at the crystals, they look exactly like mine except one, "what is that one?" I ask snapping him back to reality, " hm?, this one?" He said pointing to the clear crystal that sits in the same position as my dark crystal, "yes that one" I reply, he answers "that one is a light crystal" I look at it curiously, "so um, where are you from?" He askeds Moving my attention back to him "I used to live in England, but now I live in a cottage a little way from here" I say looking distant.

"A cottage?" He says " Yes" i reply, "do you live here?" I then ask "No Im just passing through while I look for the mystery girl my grandfather spoke of" he answers I nod looking distant as I debate whether or not to invite him to my cottage, after sometime of silence and deliberation I decide I will offer.

"Would you like to come to my cottage?, it would be warmer there" I offer, thinking about it he finally replys *If you are alright letting a stranger into you home*, I think about it but simply reply "if you were going to hurt me I'm sure you would have by now" saying this I start to head towards the cave entrance while he gathers his belongings then we head off home.
