♡♡♡Quickly, thank you so much for 300+ views!!♡♡♡




"Right, everybody out. Across the back garden and under the fence. Now! Go! Move!" Nancy yelled as the kids began to run out of the room. she picked a little girl up in the hallway. "Come on, baby, we've got to go, all right? It's just like a game. Just like chasing. Take your coat, go on. Go!"

"Mummy? Mummy? Please let me in, mummy. Please let me in, mummy." The Historian turned to the door as a hand came through the letterbox

The Doctor peered down at the hand and bent down. "Are you all right?"

"Please let me in."

Just then, something was thrown and smashed beside the door You mustn't let him touch you!"

" What happens if he touches me?" The doctor asked

"He'll make you like him."

"And what's he like?"

"I've got to go."

"Nancy, what's he like?"

"He's empty." Then, the phone began to ring again. " It's him. He can make phones ring. He can. Just like with that police box you saw."

The Historian picked up the phone. "Are you my mummy?"

Nancy grabbed it and put it back down on the hook, hurrying through the house again.

The child still pleaded, and then so did a clockwork monkey across the room from them.

Nancy ran from the house and its hand came through the letter box again. There was a long scar on the back of the childs hand. "Mummy? Let me in please, mummy. Please let me in."

The Doctor bend down slightly. "Your mummy isn't here."

"Are you my mummy?"

"No mummies here. Nobody here but us chickens. "

"I'm scared."

The Historian frowned. "Why are those other children frightened of you?"

"Please let me in, mummy. I'm scared of the bombs."

The Doctor looked to her and nodded. "Okay. I'm opening the door now."

The boy pulled back his hand and the Doctor unbolts the front door. When he opens it, the boy has gone and the street is deserted. They share a looked and peer out into the darkness...

"Come on." The Historian said, pulling his hand. "We need to find Nancy. If anyone knows what's happening, its that one."

***** *****

The Historian jumped down onto the train tracks below, sending a grin to Nancy. The Doctor hoped down beside her and grinned too.

Nancy eyed the pair wearily " How'd you follow me here?"

The Doctor grinned. "We're good at following, us. Got the nose for it."

"People can't usually follow me if I don't want them to."

"His nose has special powers." the historian smirked.

"Yeah? That's why it's-"

Thendoctor frowned. "What?"

"Nothing."

"What?"

Nancy laughed a little. "Nothing. Do your ears have special powers too?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Nancy smiled a bit " Goodnight, Mister, Miss."

"Nancy, there's something chasing you and the other kids. Looks like a boy and it isn't a boy, and it started about a month ago, right? The thing we're looking for, the thing that fell from the sky, that's when it landed. And you know what we're talking about, don't you?"
