quickly round to me. ‘Are Clementine and Aurelia ok?’
    ‘Yes, I’m with them now, Aurelia’s fast asleep. Why?’
    ‘I just saw her crying that’s all.’
    Persia went very quiet and when she spoke all traces of laughter had gone from her voice. ‘You had a prophecy of Aurelia crying?’
    ‘I don’t know if it was that, maybe it was, I just saw her crying.’
    ‘Where was she, who was she with?’
    ‘I think she was in your Mum’s front room, she appeared to be alone. I’m sorry I didn’t see anything more than that, it was just a flash.’
    Persia was still silent.
    ‘Persia, it was probably nothing. You know I’m connected to Lucas. Maybe you’ve spoken to him whilst Aurelia was crying and he was thinking about it…’ I trailed off, it sounded lame to my ears. ‘If I get anything else, I’ll let you know straight away.’
    ‘Thank you. I’ll erm… speak to you soon.’
    I severed the connection, immediately regretting that I had spoiled her fun with my silly prophecy.
    ‘You had to tell her,’ Lucas said softly. ‘Something could be wrong. At least they are a bit more prepared for it now.’
    I nodded still wishing I had something a bit more substantial to report than a crying baby.

    In my dreams I sat on my beach for a while, the palm trees stirring in the breeze, watching the waves lap gently onto the shore. With concerns over my hallucinations or prophecies, I had been ordered to rest for a few days. And to placate me Seth had insisted that he gave me a massage as I had missed out on one in Cyprus. He had been incredibly good with his hands and fingers, but I’d only experienced a few minutes of it before I’d ended up here. I really was a lot more tired than I thought. Here, everything was calm, nothing was real, which was why it surprised me when I heard the screams and desperate pleas for help getting louder and louder. It wasn’t just one scream I could hear, it was hundreds.
    I leapt to my feet, frantically and looked around, but my beach remained undisturbed, a calm, tranquil haven whilst somewhere, judging by the torturous screams and cries for help, people were dying.
    I closed my eyes and let the screaming absorb me. I concentrated on one of the cries. ‘Save my baby, please, if I’m going to die, please let him live.’
    I focussed on that voice, blocking out all the other voices, and I stepped through to its source.
    I landed in a field, with grass almost as tall as me, surrounded by mountains. The sun was just breaking above the mountains, bathing the fields in a weak golden rosy light. The gentle breeze swished the grass around me, but other than that it was calm, still, silent.
    Seth suddenly appeared by my side. He took in the field, took in my body, tense, rigid, alert, and he tentatively took me in his arms.
    ‘Eve, are you ok?’
    I nodded, confused. ‘I heard screams.’ I leant my head against his chest, sleepily. Waking from a deep sleep before I was ready was never a good move.
    Seth kissed my forehead. ‘Where are we?’
    I shook my head in confusion. ‘I have no idea, I heard screams, hundreds of people screaming and crying and I slid here.’ I looked around at the empty field.
    Lucas appeared then, looking confused as well
    ‘Eve…’
    ‘I’m fine Lucas, I just, I…..I must have been dreaming.’ But why here, why would I come to a place I had never been to before?
    Lucas and Seth heard it before I did, as they both turned to look at the sky above the mountains, behind me. I turned as well but could see nothing. A low misty haze hung over the mountains. Then I heard it. Faintly, in the distance, I could hear a high pitched whirring and spluttering and a few seconds later the haze broke, a plane was plummeting to the earth, heading straight for us. Its left wing was ablaze.
    The pilot was vainly trying to level out the plane, to try and land straight rather than nose first but they were coming in too fast. My heart was in my mouth as the screams I had
