Chronicles of the Keyblade Book 3: Meet the Doctor

Chapter 2: "I'm the Doctor.

I couldn't focus right… my head ached and I felt like I was laying in a room with the walls on fire. I just wanted to sleep…

Voices… several voices talking over me with hands prodding me. Why wouldn't they leave me alone?… Is that singing?… Am I near an opera house?… No one sings like that…. Oh Lord am I dead? What about Ty? Is he okay?…..

Someone's lifting me to sit up… They're making me drink something…. It tastes good, and it makes the heat go away a bit… I'm laid down again. The singing and talking is still going on… the singing calms me down a little…

Something is pressed against my wound. I want to tell them to stop, that it hurts! I must have managed something because the singing gets clearer and a hand brushes my hair back…. Ty did that… when I was in the Hospital… He'd sing and brush my hair back to help me sleep… Maybe I'm on the Gummie…. But who was that man?…

I'm too tired now…. the singing continues for a while, but fades into the background as I finally fall asleep…

The Doctor waited rather impatiently. He had picked up the girls fallen iPod Touch and was playing with it. She had a couple games, more puzzle games and adventure games than what he would expect. There was one app that had a lock on it that only allowed her fingerprint to open it. He decided to leave it alone.

But looking through it, he found out that she was no ordinary girl as he had expected. She had photos of mobians, a dragon, a human, and several other creatures that humans didn't usually meet. And that mark on her wrist suggested she was more than that.

"Doctor." Delta said, walking up to the Doctor.

The Doctor leapt to his feet and. He wasn't one for staying still for too long. And this was certainly long enough. "How is she?"

"She will be alright now." Delta said. "But she will need rest. She has been severely weakened."

The Doctor blinked and nodded. "How long?"

"Until she can at least stand and walk." Delta told him. "You may stay with her until she wakens."

The doctor nodded. "Thank you Delta." He said, walking over to the strange girl on the bed. The Ood draped several blankets on her to keep her from shivering. She must have been from a warmer place on earth. But he was a months journey from Earth's solar system, how did this human get out here? And she couldn't possibly be human from Earth's empire, his sonic screwdriver's readings say she was born in the late 19-hundreds.

"I will say this about her." Delta said. "Her song has been through several trials. With several more to come. Her song may be the most complex we have heard as of yet."

The Doctor watched as Delta excused himself and walked away. He looked back at the girl. She had snuggled into the blankets, still shivering a little. He wondered if it was a good idea to move her to the Tardis or not. He decided to stay here for now.

He sat next to her. "What a puzzle you are…" He told her. "I've met several humans in my lifetime. and they're all a puzzle one way or another. But eventually I figure them out… You however… You managed to get on my Tardis, a month's journey from your home, wounded and poisoned… I'll have a time at figuring you out that's for certain."

He sat and waited, puzzling her over to pass the time.

My head hurt… but at least the heat was gone…. strike that, I wanted the heat back! It was freezing here! I shuddered a bit and snuggled under the blankets…. blankets? Someone was here then. Using my sixth sense, and my hearing, I found myself in a room. But there was a song in the air… not exactly the same that I heard before, but a similar tune.
