I woke up the next morning in Tin’s hut. My head was resting on Heathcliff’s chest and I had a small blanket wrapped around me. I got up and walked to the opening of the hut where I could hear voices outside and could smell something cooking.

            “Do you really think that I’m the loyal companion Tin?” I heard Lance ask.

I stayed where I was hiding and listened to what Tin had to say to Lance.

            “Yes I do. I know you Lance, I know that you are scared but you can do this.” Tin told him in a comforting voice.

            “I’m not strong enough; I can’t protect her as well as myself.” Lance sighed.

            “Yes you can. You are stronger than anyone I know Lance; I could tell that you were different when you were given to me to look after you after your mother died. You were only seven years old but you were strong. No matter how much you seem to hate her you will protect her with your life and you will soon see.”

            “See what?”

            “I shouldn’t tell you; you should find out for yourself.”

            “Tin.” Lance sighed.

            “Fine, I will tell you but don’t tell Iris. There is another part of the prophesy. Lance, you will fall-“

Tin was cut off by Heathcliff howling loudly. Damn! What was Tin going to say? I walked out the tent pretending to have heard nothing.

            “Good morning.” I smiled at them both.

            “Good morning, are you hungry? We have eggs and bacon and toast.” Tin smiled.

My jaw dropped open as I looked at him.

            “Seriously? You get that stuff here?” I asked in shock.

Tin and Lance laughed at me.

            “We may live in a world without weird things but we do have eggs and bacon.” Lance laughed.

            “Speaking of which, what is this device?” Tin asked whilst holding up my mobile.

I laughed so much at that. In England everybody had a mobile. It’s weird staying in a world where they don’t have technology like this.

            “It’s called a mobile. Where I come from we all have them and they are used to call each other when we are far away.” I explained to them.
