Melanie Tyler

Blink

I wake up with a killer headache. I'm in a room with a white floor and white walls. The room looks old, really old. I try to blink and clear my vision. The room is dusty and I sneeze. Just then I hear someone yelling.

"Is this a joke? Kathy! Kathy!" A hear a girl yell. I stand up, holding on to an old chair to help me up. I go over the door and try opening it, it won't open.

"Help! Can you help me? Someone?" I yell, hoping whomever was yelling would find me.

"Hello?" The girl says.

I yell out. "Hello, can you help me? The door is stuck." 

"Yeah, stand back." She says. I do what she says and I hear banging for a few moments and then the door bursts open.

I cough because of all the dust. "Thank you." I say.

"What are you doing in here? Do you know where Kathy is?" The woman says, she looks a little older than me.

"Who, what?" I say confused.

"Kathy, she was here little more than a minute ago. I swear." The woman says, freaking out.

"Where are we anyway?" I ask, looking around. 

"We're in the old... Wait, how come you don't even know where you are?" The girl says, then she gets panic on her face and runs downstairs. 

"Wait, Wait." She sighs. "Oi, he's gone." She says.

"Who's gone?" I ask.

"This man, he he gave me this letter." The girl says holding up a letter.

"A letter about what?" I ask.

She looks at me. "Oi, I don't even know who you are, why would I tell you?" She asks.

"Well then. I'm Melanie." I say, holding out my hand.

"Sally. Sally Sparrow." She says back smiling.

We walk outside and I decide my only chance of figuring out what's going on is with her.

"Can I ask, uh, Sally, what the year is?" She looks at me and then slight annoyance is on her face.

"Did you do it? Is that where Kathy went? Did you have something to do with this!"  I back up, wow that girl has a temper.

"No, I don't even know what you're talking about. I just woke up with a massive headache in a strange house. I have no idea what's okay on." I say holding my hands up surrendering.

"What were you kidnapped or something?" Sally asks.

I shrug." I don't remember. I just need to find the Doctor and then..." She interrupts me.

"The Doctor? So, you know him?" She asks, my eyes go wide. 

"Yeah, how'd did you know? Do you know where he is?" I ask hopeful.

She shakes her head. "All I know is that he saved me from getting a head shot with a pot." I nod understanding.

We stand there outside, Sally thinking hard.

"Here's the plan. Follow me, alright, don't say anything. My friend she is apparently in the year 1920 and right now is dead. I have to go tell her brother now. So hush up." She says.

I nod, following her into a Video shop.
