Saved (A Doctor Who Story)

Chapter 1:Me,Anna Kingsley

I think I should tell you my story.I've heard stories about "The Mansion".I never believed them.To me and my brother it was just another huge,old, ruined home.It stood at the end of our road.Everyone called it "The Mansion" because it was bigger than every house on the road.It had planks all over the windows and the door was locked.Nobody could pry it open.

One man,Edgar Neely,tried one day.He couldn't but the next morning he was found dead in his home.His throat was slit.He was a nice man.Mid thirties,had a wife and two children.He seemed harmless,unless he had secrets that no one knew about.Then again,he couldn't keep secrets.

Alan is my brothers name. He's nineteen,so he can take care of me.We lost our parents when I was about five.So,we found an orphanage and lived there until Alan turned eighteen.We moved onto Akerman Road in Mackville, Kentucky and have lived here for a year.It's not a huge town.You don't see many people on the street but great weather.Autumns were nice.Winters,cold.Springs and Summers were absolutely perfect.

I made friends,went to a nice school.Everyone on the street was nice to us.It was a perfect,normal life until Edgar Neely's death.It didn't make any sense to anyone.The authorities were brought in.This happened just a week ago.It was terrible.My brother helped Mr.Neely a lot with yard work and other things.We lived next to them and and about half a mile was "The Mansion."All of it changed.

I was walking on the road just the other day and heard beating on the door of the huge home.I didn't dare to go next to it so I ran home.Since then,I've heard screams and it won't stop.So let's move to today,shall we?

I awoke this morning and went downstairs for breakfast.Alan was at the stove with a frying pan making whatever.I went to the living room and sat on the couch.I flipped on the TV and watched Johnny Bravo.'Hm,that's a bit odd.Haven't seen Johnny Bravo on this early.'I thought.

There were boxes lying in the corner that we still needed to get unpacked but we both were busy."Hey,Anna!Go take a shower and get dressed.Breakfast will be ready in about ten minutes!"Alan called to me."Okay,"I said.

I stood up and went to the bathroom.I stripped and got in the shower.In about five minutes I was out.I made it to my bedroom and chose some dark navy skinny jeans and a baggy forest green t-shirt.I put on dirty converse and made it out of my bedroom.I ran down the steps and Alan had just finished making breakfast and out everything on the table.

On the table were two plates with scrambled eggs,bacon and two biscuits.I got a glass of milk and sat down.I finished my plate and gulped my milk.Alan finished and since I was only 15,he had to drive me to school.

I grabbed my backpack and Alan,his keys and headed to his car.It was an old,rusty,red pick-up truck.The only one he could afford,but it worked.We got in and in about 10 minutes,we arrived at MackVille high and I got out.He waved to me and I smiled.

I walked into school and found Emily,my best friend."Hey,"I greeted."Hey!"She turned around and gave me a  huge hug.She broke away and her curly blonde hair bounced around her shoulders.She was wearing a blue floral dress and a light pink tank.A white sweater covered her shoulders."How are you?Have you heard any weird..."she stopped.I shook my head."Not since the other day,"I gave a warm smile.My black hair got in my face and she put it behind my ear."Oh,okay.Good.Well,I think we should get to our first period,"she suggested.She grabbed my hand and we ran to the classroom.I didn't pay attention and it was already the end of the day.

I always walked home since Alan had work.I told Emily good bye and started walking down the street.I made it to Ackerman Road and made it to my house.I just put the key in the lock when I heard a noise.It was coming from the mansion.I walked to the end of the driveway  and looked down.There was nothing there and the noise had stopped.

I walked towards the house and it looked the same as ever.Had the stench it always had.There was nothing out of place but there were a few more leaves on the ground.I looked behind the tree and something moved.I got scared for a moment.'The stories aren't real!'I kept thinking.

I slowly walked over to it and tall person with a tweed jacket on had his back turned to me.He seemed to be holding something."What are you doing?"I asked.He jumped and turned around."Uh,nothing.Nothing that you would understand,"he said with a thick British accent.He wore a red bow tie around his neck.He had a white dress shirt and had a lack of fashion sense."What's that in your hand?"I asked."Where am I?What year is this?What day?Who are you?"he babbled.

He looked serious."You're on Ackerman Road in Mackville Kentucky.It's Thursday,October third,2012.And to answer your last question, my name's Anna.Anna Kingsley,"I answered him.He looked at me oddly."Hello Anna.I'm the Doctor,"he said."The Doctor?That sounds like a drug dealer,"I said."Well,I'm not.I don't think I've come across that one in awhile,"he said.

He shoved past me and started walking down the road."Where are you going?"I asked.He never answered.I caught up with him."Why were you at that house?No one goes there!You could've been killed!"I yelled.I never should've said that.He stopped.He turned and looked at me.He walked towards me and stared into my eyes."Killed?What'd you mean killed?"he asked."Killed.To deprive life.Why were you there?Were you going to try to go inside?Because you couldn't have,"I said."I couldn't?I can get in anywhere.Even that house.Do you know why it was boarded up?"he asked me."No.No one does.It was like that when my brother and I moved here,"I answered.

He turned and started walking away."Can you help me?"I asked.He looked back at me again."With what?"I hesitated."I've been hearing things.But,I didn't tell anyone except for Em.They've been coming from The Mansion and one guy's already been killed and.."I stopped."What kind of noises?"he asked."Screams.And the other day I was walking past it and heard beating.Like something wanting me to come inside,"I told him.He looked back at the house.

"Doctor?!"I heard someone yell.He spun around and a man with a huge nose and a woman with red hair came running towards him."Did you find anything?"they asked him."Yeah a little.This young girl here was explaining it."I heard them whispering and they asked him if he found out what "it" was.I really didn't want to know the answer to what the "it" was so I turned and walked to my driveway.The three of them came to me."If you want to come in all you have to do is ask,"I told them. I got it unlocked and they followed me in.
