The Lonely Hero

Chapter 2

     Disclaimer: I will own Doctor Who someday. But currently, I don't. Actually maybe I never will. I'll be a companion instead.

     "Clara! Get dressed! We are going shopping today!" I hear my mom shout up the stairs and into my room.

    "Okay...Why do I have to go again?" I questioned my mom while stepping out of bed.

    "Because you are gonna need to try on some shoes today. You need tennis shoes." she said, turning away from the staircase and walking away. " 10 minutes!" she hollered while walking away.

        We walked through the local Wal-mart, my mom pushing a squeaky cart along the aisle and I walking beside her in my favorite red dress with my normally straight chestnut hair twisted into a perfect in between twist of wavy and curly. We walked around trying to find paper towels, and we ended up passing the toy aisle so naturally, like any ten-year-old would, I found the coolest toy I could. It was labeled " Brand new high-tech laser light" and then in smaller ink "CAUTION: DO NOT SHINE DIRECTLY INTO EYES. MAY RESULT IN TEMPORARY BLINDNESS OR FURTHER EYE CONDITIONS."  Me being slightly a nerd, I honestly really wanted the laser. I could study it and build my own laser. That would be so cool. After quite some begging, my Mom was convinced and she bought it.

      About twenty-five minutes later, we were in Famous Footwear searching for shoes. I instantly found these cool red glow-in-the-dark shoes, but the part that glows up was liquid. We checked out and were headed home.

THAT NIGHT

     I was laying in bed wide awake, but I woke up. Suddenly, I was in the womans house. Confused and scared, I made sure I was awake. I tried everything, but this was the reality. "I dreamed a fake reality for myself because the real reality was so bad." I whispered to myself. I looked around the dark room and saw the glow in the dark shoes hiding away in the corner. The mysterious woman must have bought them for me. I got up and opened the curtains. The warm sunlight felt like small kisses on my skin. I walk over to the dresser and picked out the outfit I was wearing in the dream. The same red dress with the same chestnut hair, and I wore my new shoes. I step outside my room and the whole hallway seemed to change into a school hallway. This is exactly how the dreams inside my dream were. I walk down the hallway for the first time in reality. I felt like the lights should have been flickering, just like my dream. I heard the voices and approach the door marked with an "11" exactly like my dream. Eagar to see what was behind the door, I opened it with haste. I look inside, mouth gaping in awe. There was a noise of a rutting engine in the background and suddenly a voice. It sounded soft. It sounded sweet. It sounded scared and alone but friendly. The kind voice softly said "Hello Clara."
