THE HEROES OF TIME BOOK 2.

Chapter 1

5 Months Later.

The afternoon sun beat down on the small town intensly with no cloud covering the sky, the residents of watershipdown stayed mostly in the shade or the local tavern, into this town a young girl of 11 wandered in. She entered the tavern slowly and sat up onto the bar, the people had stopped their talking and some snickerd at the sight of this young girl sat on the stool,

" what will it be?"

The bartender said barely contanining his laughter

" I am looking for a room" she said

" do you have any money?"

" No, I was hoping to work for the room"

she said and that was when the room burst into laughter " and what job do you think you're best suited for little lady?..." his joke was lost however when the doors to the tavern opened, the room then went silent as the new figure went upto the bar and sat on the stool " what will it be sir?" The bartender said slowly,

" whisky, just one" he said slowly and the bartender went to get it, " hi" the little girl said " I'm susan,what's your name?" She asked, the man looked at susan slowly and sighed " greg"

" why did the entire room go silent when you came in?" She asked and he chuckled a little

" I think they're afraid of me"

" why?"

She asked as the bartender came back with whisky which greg downed in one gulp " I don't know...I've never asked, nice talking to you susan" he said and got of the stool and walked out, folowed by susan " why are you following me?" He asked

" I don't know... do you have any spare rooms available? "

" why don't you just go home?"

" I...I don't have one..."

" please...it..it's just for one night, thats all..after that I'm gone, I promise" she said smiling " oh..ok fine, One Night that's all, don't think your staying with me.. I don't do this kind of thing anymore...I'm retired, and besides it's not like anyone will believe you anyway " he said and led her of with him.

Susan was a little suprised when she found out greg's "house" was nothing more than a battered blue box, the paint had faded a little, the sky was turning a light blue as afternoon swiftly approached " isnt this going to be cramped?" Susan asked " just wait" he said smiling as he opened the doors. Inside she found a massive home

" oh wow!" She exclaimed as she sat on one of the chairs, a man then appeared almost out of thin air dressed in fine clothes " good evening sir...and who is this?" He asked " this is Susan, shes staying with us for One night only then she's leaving" he said as AI hid a smile,

" of couse sir..one night only, would the young mistress like some refreshment?"

" yes Please!"

She said as she walked off with AI, greg smiled, but his smile soon faded when he saw a picture of him, Mark and Josh laughing together, " one night...thats it...im retired now...I'm done helping".

Meanwhile in the surrounding desert of watershipdown a bright blue hand broke through the ground, a low moaning noise soon following...
