My Travels With The Doctor

Emperor Galgafrogist

My Mood had finally lifted when the doctor reminded me that there were only two Galgas left. One more Galga left, FINALLY!!!!! US!!!! I looked back at the line, and it seemed to have grown longer. Whew! Good thing we got in the line earlier! I thought in relief. One of the guards motioned us towards the stone door. He lifted his octopus tentacle and like the front gold doors, swung open, but unlike the gold doors, with a grinding sound. The doctor and I walked in, and the Galga guard closed the door behind us, and we were instantly swallowed by darkness.

There was a strange sound, and I saw a ball of green light hovering in the air. Then light suddenly filled the staircase. The doctor had lit a metal torch holder, that clearly hadn't been used for years. "Come on." he said, then he started to walk up the stone steps. I followed him, thinking of how this day is going to end.       

We walked up the stairs and the doctor turned to a door and knocked. The door swung open so fast, I jumped. Sitting on another golden chair just like the one down stairs except with out ruby's was what I supposed was the Emperor. The doctor bowed low and I curtsied. 

The Emperor motioned to what I knew was a signal that we could rise. However, I did not rise until the doctor rose just to make sure that it was safe. The doctor rose from his bow and I too rose from my curtsy. The doctor spoke to the Emperor except in English. "Emperor Galgafrogist, my old friend!" the doctor said his arms open wide as though hoping for a hug. The Emperor stood from his chair and sort of limped over to the doctor. They hugged and I stepped back, eager to not interfere. Hoping to not be seen, I crept into a dark corner and slid down the wall. But to my great horror, the Emperor caught my eye and let go of the doctor. "Who iz thiz girl?" he said, motioning his tentacle to me in the corner. He had a strong accent of the language the Galgas spoke, but it was still readable. The doctor turned to look at me, huddled in the corner, completely horrified. "She is a human girl. Her name is Sarah." he said. But right after he said those words, I think we both knew he should not have said that. By the word the 'Human', the Emperors eyes turned pitch black. And next thing we knew, there was banging on the door.

The doctors eyes widened. Completely horrified of what he had done. He yelled "I'm so sorry! I have put us both in trouble!". He sprinted over to me, and grabbed my hand. My heart was pounding so hard, I was surprised the doctor could not see it beating out of my chest. I looked back as the doctor yanked me onto the windowsill and saw the Emperor still staring at the place where I was just seconds ago. The door crashed down and I screamed. All the Galga guards were swarming in, and had what looked like some sort of gun. One guard in the front shot at me and the red beam of light missed my head by inches. I could feel the heat on my head. The doctor kicked the circular window and it broke. I gasped. There were more guards swarming down looking up at us and shouting in their language. The doctor yanked out his sonic screwdriver and pressed a button. At first nothing happened and me, the doctor, and the Galga guards froze then I saw something zooming towards us. Something big, something blue, the tardis! 

The Galga guards, noticing what it was, started to run at us. The tardis halted right in front of us and the doctor yelled, "Jump!". I jumped closing my eyes. Then I landed in the cold floor of the tardis. I opened my eyes, only to see the doctor jumping behind me. But before the Galga guards could even jump in to the tardis, or shoot it, the tardis doors slammed shut and we were zooming away.
