The Godslingers Next Gen: Chapter 7

Josh's P.O.V

It's been many years, and the last self-induced coma that I had done is probably 2 years, that explains why I looked 15 right now. I had to be careful though with my coma not to do it too long because that would damage my brain.

I walked to outside of Camp border, which was dangerous since it was crawling with monsters, but I guess monsters would now think more than thrice before crossing paths with me again.

I sat down, and started to cry. Where could the godslingers go? I thought... When can I go back in time, when my girlfriend is still my age? Now she would have been 43 or 44 right now, because this is about 22 years later than our last adventure. Meanwhile, I might age, but loses age everytime I induce myself in a coma.

Just then, when I walked around outside the camp border, someone poked me from the back.

I whirled around, and found a little girl staring at me. I wiped my tears and began to say. "Hi."

The girl just stared at me. "Hello, why are you crying?"

I decided not to talk about it. "Hey, girl. What's your name?" I asked the girl.

"Alyssa." The little girl said. "Mommy said that this is a safe place for all of us."

"That's right." I said, getting up. I took the girl's hand and the girl began to talk.

"Today, someone just visited my house, and mommy told me that it isn't safe anymore in my house."

I mused. "Hmm... Who could that be?"

The girl just shook her head. "I didn't heard his last name."

"What is your full name, kid?" I asked her.

"Alyssa O'Neil"
