Traveling With The Last Time Lord ➽ Doctor Who [1]

{5} Ice Warrior In the Soviet Submarine

***

'Jumping', as the Doctor called it, was something that Belle decided was better to go through if she was unconscious. It scrambled her brain and made her feel like she was shrinking in on herself and expanding over and over again, along with the bright blue light that blinded her vision. It was only after the light disappeared and the feelings she felt vanished that she realized she was still crying. She also realized that after she disappeared, she suddenly remembered everything about the original episodes.

What the fuck was up with that? Why did she suddenly forget it? If she remembered it like she was supposed to then she could've avoided Rory dying. Sure, he was going to come back. She knew that. But what if he didn't? What if her being here in this universe screwed up everything so much that Rory was going to be dead for food? She hasn't met River yet so she doesn't know whether or not Rory was going to come back.

"Tink!" A very familiar voice rang in her ears. The voice pulled her back to reality. Belle noticed that she was still in the Tardis. It looked similar to Eleven's but an upgraded version. The voice that spoke to her was also very familiar as well seeing as she had just been speaking to the person before she jumped. She turned her head slightly to take a look at the Doctor. He basically ran down the Tardis stairs that went to the lower level which she stood in. He froze at the bottom step when he looked the girl over, "What happened?"

What a mess the girl must've looked like. Not only were there tears falling down her face, but she was covered in dirt and sweat made her clothes and hair stick to her body. She needed to take a shower sometime soon. "Rory..."

That was the only word she needed to stay. He was probably able to understand where she had come from by the name she said and the outfit she was wearing. The Doctor walked toward her and wrapped her in a tight hug, "Rory ended up coming back-"

"During the Pandorica?" Belle sniffled.

Feeling his head moving in its place near her shoulder, she could tell he nodded, "Yes. We were very surprised to see him as a Roman soldier," The Doctor's tone was light and he spoke in a soft tone. It was almost like he was trying to comfort her without outright telling her that everything was fine or it was going to be okay. Belle never really liked words of encouragement like that. It always made her feel like things were worse than they already were when someone told her the phrase, 'Everything is fine!' or something similar to that. "I mean, of all the things he could've come back as and he came back as a Roman!" Belle found herself laughing at the words. "It wasn't your fault."

More tears arose from those simple syllables. She thought that being in the Doctor Who universe would be more fun than it had been. Maybe it was just a bad episode. Belle moved away from the Doctor, wiping away the remaining tears. She looked down and groaned, "I look awful," She looked just as bad as she thought she was going to. "I'm going to go take a shower."
