Doctor Who Fanfiction

Treasure in The Stars

Who knew that traveling through time and space could be so mesmerizing? For as long as she could remember, Esther was always fascinated by the stars in the sky ever since she was little. Not the ones you would see in children's books, but real stars you would see in science textbooks or even in a documentary series on outer space and the planets. And here she was, traveling with the Doctor, looking at the stars across the galaxy, mesmerized by its beauty and its planets.
"Who knew the galaxy would look this beautiful up close" said Esther, "It's funny how I used to see them in books and the tele and now here I am seeing the entire galaxy in person"
The Doctor smiled and walked toward Esther, leaning against the door frame of the T.A.R.D.I.S. while his eyes wandered to the girl watching the scene in awe. Oh how this never gets old. "And you get to see this everyday" said Esther, "Am I jealous right now?"
The Doctor chuckled, "Maybe" he answered, "This is just one of those rare occasions' whenever I'm not traveling"
"Rare occasions'?"
"Yeah, being a Timelord means I am very busy. You know, wibbly wobbly timey-wimey...stuff"
Esther raised a brow, "Timey-wimey?" she asked herself before passing the thought aside, "well, I'm just gonna study in the library for a bit"
"Alright" said the Doctor, his long slender fingers stroking the controllers of the T.A.R.D.I.S "Call me if ya need anything"
"Will do!"

After reading a couple of books from the library, it was time to move on to another one. Esther placed the books she read earlier back to their proper spot and noticed a certain book that caught her eye. The spine of a blue book caught the girl's attention, it looked tethered like it's been through alot throughout the years. The pages looked yellow, showing its age and possibly coffee stains. Her delicate fingers gently caressed the spine and pulled the book to reveal its cover. The book looked rather familiar to her, it looked more like a diary or a journal. The moment she looked at the cover, she knew exactly who the journal belonged to. She remembered the very person who never left without it and often wrote new entries every now and then before giving the girl a warm and gentle smile that she knew and loved all those years.
"Aunt River?" she said to herself until the sound of an alarm ringed through the T.A.R.D.I.S.
Setting the diary aside, Esther rushed out of the library towards the control center, "Doctor, what's going on?!"
"Just a little turbulence!" said The Doctor, "Hold on to something!"
The girl holds onto the handlebars as the ship begins to shake violently, "A 'little turbulence' huh?" she asked, "Doesn't seem so little to me!"
"Almost there!" The Doctor rushed to the other side of the controls, pulling a lever, followed by a hammer to a bell until the turbulence came to a stop. The time lord smiled and placed the hammer aside, "There we go" he said, "We're finally here"
"Where?" asked Esther
"Bermuda, of course"
The girl raised a brow at the Doctor before walking towards the door. The moment the door was opened, Esther was greeted by swords pointing directly towards her face, "Doctor!" she called, "Is it normal for people to point swords in your face in Bermuda?"
The Doctor rushed to the girl's side and noticed the people holding the swords were none other than pirates.
Space Pirates to be exact.

"Did we seriously get captured by space pirates?!" said Esther, tied up against a pillar with the Doctor on the opposite side.
"Uh yeah, seems like it" said the Doctor, earning a 'you're not helping' glare from his companion, which he then mumbles a 'sorry' to the girl. The space pirates step aside as a tall man comes into view. He was rather tall with a long burgundy red coat with silver trimming, a matching hat with a long white feather and a long black beard hiding his very displeased and threatening frown as well as his deadly glare. The one detail that caught the girl's attention the most was the captain's right hand. It wasn't anything like his left, instead of a hook, it was replaced by a skeleton hand. Just by his appearance alone, you could definitely tell he was the captain of the ship. The first mate, Marshall announced the man as Captain Tanton 'Gunner' Vertect. He steps forward and pulls his sword, pointing it straight to The Doctor's neck, "State your business, stowaways" he growled in a deep masculine voice.
"I'm the Doctor," said the timelord, "this is my companion Esther, we were just on our way to Bermuda but I guess that would have to wait"
"You are in Bermuda" said the first mate, Marshall, nervously chuckling, "Well, technically the Bermuda Triangle that is"
"Please!" said Esther with a look of disbelief, "The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is just that, a legend"
"Oh but it isn't" said the captain, "Take a good look for yourself"
The companion and the Doctor looked across the ship, seeing what humans thought had disappeared long ago. Planes were flying along with ships and boats. Small islands here and there, some further than others. Even creatures from dinosaurs to saber-toothed tigers roaming the strange new world. "Ye better start believing in legends, lassie" said the Captain with a sickening grin beneath his black beard, "For you see tonight, you're in one~"
