Lost in Time and Space

Chapter 2: Past disappearance

"Who first?" questioned Ash.
"Well..." muttered Ally, trying to get the tracker to work. She gave it a big smack, startling Ash. She squinted at the small screen.
"England." she said, almost tripping over her backpack as she fiddled with the device. Ash grinned.
"Who are we saving?"
Ally shrugged. "Who cares?"
"It will be a surprise, then." Ash turned around to get ready.
Ash shook her head, reminding herself to grab Ally's coffee.

Ash and Ally left the TARDIS and saw a few villagers on the street.

"It's cold, isn't it?" asked Ally, pulling on her grey sweater. Ash zipped up her knitted sweater to her chin, shivering in the cool air.

" That's odd, there is no one around"! Ash noticed.

"You're right, Captain Obvious!" Ally
said as she laughed.
"Alright, I'm going to investigate while you joke around about my IQ, join me if you like." Ash sighed as she started to walk away from Ally.
Ally followed Ash, still snickering a bit. They treaded on the cobbled street, Ally kicking the grey and black stones with her scuffed converse.

Suddenly, the sisters heard a big bang. They turned around quickly, startled. They heard the noise again, but closer this time. Ash recognized the sound of gunfire.
"What the hell is going on!" Ash yelled, confused.

"I don't know, but my instincts tell me we should run!" Ally said in a shaky voice. She hated the sight of blood.

Ash and Ally ran farther and farther away from the gunshots until they saw a river next to a forest.

"Hey!" whispered Ash. She caught sight of a woman coming with a small wooden bucket, she was scooping water quickly, she looked around as if she was paranoid. She probably was, reflected Ally. Ally took a deep breath, and gathered the courage to go up to the stranger.

"Sorry ma'am, I've lost track of time, what year is it?"

"Its 1914, where are your parents go look for them, none of us are safe out here" ! She hissed rapidly, her eyes flickering around her, scanning her surroundings. Ally checked the forest around them, wondering why she was so paranoid.

"But why? What's wrong?" responded Ash, and the woman narrowed her eyes at them.

"Don't be idiotic, girlie." the woman tugged at her stringy brown hair, and in a flash, was off.

"Wait, I've got it! 1914, the year World War I started!" stated Ash.

"Wow. Our first adventure and we land in a war zone. Fantastic." Ally muttered sarcastically. She tugged awkwardly on her My Chemical Romance t-shirt she tugged on before wandering out the TARDIS.

Suddenly Ash and Ally heard a crack, from the forest.
"What the hell is that"? whispered Ash.
"I'm pretty sure we're gonna figure out soon, whether we like it or not." Ally remarked dryly.
Ally and Ash both pulled out their sonic pens, and slowly walked closer to the sound that was getting a lot quieter.
"Who's there?" asked Ash loudly.
"Shhh, shut up for a second, will you!" Ally whispered to her (idiotic, or so she thought) sister.
The girls saw a black shadowy figure trying to get as far as possible from them, hiding behind tree trunks and logs, trying to blend in with the green forest. Ash and Ally got quite close then the figure disappeared and they heard a crack behind them. The girls panicked and they transformed their sonic pens into weapons. Ally brandished her sword menacingly, while Ash coiled her silver whip. They both pointed their weapons at the bandit and they threatened to kill her in unison. But as they caught sight of the mysterious figure, they realized something.

"Savannah?" questioned a confused Ash. Their (former) classmate scowled at them.
"Savannah, what the hell happened?" asked Ash with a smirk on her face.
"Ugh," she sputtered. "You're such an idiot! Just get me out of this stupid, ugly, dirty place!" Savannah whined at Ash rudely. "And stop waving those-those things around will you?!" exclamed Savannah, watching the sword warily.
"You haven't even answered the question." pointed out Ally. "Anywho," she brushed her dark hair out of her face. "What's going on with you? Are you alright?" Ally asked just to be polite. Quite frankly, she didn't care at all. Understatement, thought Ally.
"Ugh no, I don't care, I've been in this disgusting hellhole for three days, three days without mascara, you monsters!" Savannah screamed temperamentally.
" Well someone has anger issues!" Ash pointed out without regretting her choice of words.
