Doctor who: Born in Time

chapter 2 The Box

Violets P.O.V

"Hey freak dream of aliens last night"

I shoved past her and her giggling minions. A hand grabbed my shoulder and shoved me into a locker.

"Don't walk away from me freak" she hissed. I froze against the locker.

"Leave her alone Anna" someone said.

"Shut it loser" she snapped,then looked at me.

"I asked you question"

"No...no... I didn't" I stuttered.

She shoved me harder against the lockers. "Don't lie to me we all know about your nut job nightmares"

I held back the tears of frustration. I hated her, she was paige's cusion and she hated me when we were little she used to visit all the time now when she comes over she tries to get as much dirt on me as possible and use it against me at school.

"Tell us violet do you wish you were flying in a tiny spaceship with nut job aliens and freaks like you" she snickered.

"Please... just eave me alone" I begged.

"Answer the question freak" she pulled my hair and I screamed. A few people stopped but no one came to my aid they just stood around laughing waiting to see what happened next.

"Well, go on were all waiting for an answer" she taunted.

A crowd started to gather around us.

"Yeah tell us alien" Someone shouted.

There was no way out of it I had to agree.

"Yes" I whispered.

"I can't hear you"

"Yes" I said.

"Louder freak we can't here your tiny squeaks"

"Yes" I said loudly.

She smirked "I thought so, no run along freak. We'll find out tomorrow what nut jobs dream about"

A gap opened in the crowed and I ran tears building in my eyes.

"Aww, are you going to cry to mommy and daddy, oh wait you can't, because they gave you up. I honestly think it was the best decision they ever made"

That was it I snapped, I ran as far as I could away from the school ignoring the protest's and shouts from the teachers. I looked back, then crashed against something I fell back my bag flying threw the air and landing in a muddy puddle.

'Great, I have probably had the most humiliating day of my life, my books are ruined and I'm going to have to pay health insurance for someone broken bones' I thought miserably.

I picked myself up and dusted off my clothes. I picked up my books from the puddle and put them in my now soaking wet school bag. The stranger bent down to help me and I smiled at him gratefully.

"Thank you" I murmured.

"You were in quite a rush back there, running late to school are you" he said brightly.

"You could say that" I muttered.

"Is something wrong" he asked genuinely concerned.

I looked at the man I just meet, his voice...no... there just dreams.

I shook my head trying to clear it. "Do I know you" I asked cautiously.

He seemed a little nervous but he tried to hide it.

"Maybe, I have one of those familiar faces" he grinned.

"OK...um...can I have my book back please" I asked pointing to his iron grip on my maths book.

"oh... sorry...its a bit wet"

I nodded and put it in my bag.

'Well this isn't akward' I thought sarcastically.

"Doctor" a blonde haired women ran up.

"Two weeping angels, in the grave yard there not moving I don't think they saw me..." she stopped when she saw me. In that one moment her eyes flickered from surprise, to happiness, to concern.

"Who's this" she asked trying to hide her concern.

"River this is..."

"Rook, violet Rook" I cut off. I didn't know where this sudden burst of confidence came from but i rolled with it.

"James bond" the man grinned or The Doctor that was what the river lady said anyway.

'Doctor who?' I wondered.

"Sweetie can I speak to you for a moment please" she jogged off towards the corner.

"Be right back" The Doctor shouted chasing after her. I don't know why but I wanted to follow them so I did and froze.

'This can't be possible' I backed away.

'Its the same one, from my dreams but...no'

This was so not happening right now! I definitely was not dreaming so how on earth could that police box be standing there and the famiar voices walked into it. I took a step towards it, I had to know, With each step I was determined that this box had the answers to my questions. I had to find out why I was having those dreams and why this box and the two strangers inside it were here in reality. When I reached the last step, I gathered corouge then touched the frame. It hummed, I jumped back in surprise. This thing was alive!. I touched it once more and then gently pushed the door open. I closed my eyes scared of what I might find. When I finally opened them, I wished I kept them closed. There was an entire room inside a small little box. I wanted to scream but my voice got caught in my throat.

"What was I supposed to do river, runway after ruining her books. I helped her I had no idea it was her"

"Doctor"

I suddenly felt their gaze on me and I felt very small. The room started to spin and I blinked stumbling back. My vision blurred and the least thing I remembered was someone calling my name before I fainted.
