Avalon: the next generation

Chapter 13

Nathan's POV:

"Mom?"

"Nathan," she said. "are you alright?"

I sat up. "Yeah. I'm okay."

I could see her body relax.

"What are you doing here? How did you do that?"

She showed me her bracelet, and I immediately understood. She grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Someday, you will be able to do that."

I scoffed. "Hopefully."

I turned away from her, only seeing a destroyed mall. Walls were broken, clothes shredded in every single store, and even a whole staircase was crushed into a million pieces. It looked awful.

I also saw Roxie, laying on the floor. She wasn't getting up.

I ran towards her, my mom close on my heel.

When we got there, I kneeled down beside her.

"She will be alright?" said a voice behind me.

I slightly turned my head. I see another middle aged woman, about as old as my mom, with her arm around Heather.

I turned my focused back on Roxie.

Roxie's POV:

I woke up, feeling a sharp pain in my ribs. When I tried to sit up, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't. Just lie down."

It was Nathan. "Nathan?" I said, opening my eyes. I have never been so happy to see him.

He smiled at me, then turned away. "Mom!" he yelled. "She's awake!" Immediately a woman ran into the room, carrying a small, wet cloth. She handed Nathan the cloth, and he put it on my forehead.

I put my hand on it as he pulled his away.

"Thank you," I said. "What happened?"

Nathan's POV:

I told her everything: the monster, the mall, Heather's mom, my mom. It took a little bit, but she nodded, saying that she understood.

"How did I get here?" she asked.

"Nathan brought you here, sweetie." My mom had to embarrass me.

Before I could scold my mother, Roxie said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."
