The Unnamed Child (Doctor Who)

Chapter 3

-5 years later-

I sat by the door, humming a random tune. Amy was late, and I was kind of worried. Last night Daddy found Buttons. It was bad. He had hit me and I was forced to tell him that Amy made the doll. I heard a car in the drive and stood up. A relieved smile crossed my face. The doorknob turned, the bolts clicked and as the door opened, the smile dropped.  

Daddy stood there and he looked cross. He was holding a large duffel bag- his gym bag- which he hauled into the No Room before coming over to me. "Great, you little twerp."

I knew something was wrong. "Daddy, why are you home? Why isn't Amy here?"

He smacked my cheek hard causing tears to bud into my eyes. "She quit. She said you were the most worthless little brat she ever sat for and that she hates you."

 My tears had started to run. "B-but, S-sh-she said S-she loves M-me A-And-"

My daddy hits my other cheek. "SHE LIED! YOU DROVE HER AWAY!" 

I couldn't take anymore. I ran into my room and sobbed.

Later, I went and tried to eat but just puked it up again. I splashed water on my face and looked into the mirror. My face was bruised from the slaps and I had bags under bloodshot eyes. My thoughts where interrupted by some weird sounds.  

A few bumps, thumps, and the sound of glass breaking came from the No Room. Daddy had a few tantrums in there before so the sounds were not uncommon. I went to my room and dosed off. I registered that Daddy left around eight and it was noon before I finally got up. Around one I remembered that Daddy had taken Buttons into the No Room. At 1:34, the loneliness took over and the idea that I stole Buttons while Daddy was gone came.  

I got the courage and walked to the door. I grabbed the key that Daddy shoved in between the frame and the wall. My mind seemed to get foggy as if something was fighting my mind telling me to turn back. But I continued.

The tension grew as the key went into the lock. The metal turned in my hands, and a deep breath ran from my lungs. Going against all I knew, and my mind seemed cleared of the fog that had enveloped me earlier. I pushed the door open slowly and it creaked open. What I see caused my heart to go into my throat. My hands cover my mouth and tears bud into my eyes. All because of what I saw.
