  "I just realized something," I said as we got comfortable in our cabin below deck. "That soldier, he was supposed to be speaking Spanish. How come he was talking English?"

  "The TARDIS translates it for you," He replied simply.

  "But we are at least a mile away from it."

  "Anyone who travels with me in the TARDIS will have that, no matter how far away."

  "So if you were speaking a different language right now, I would understand you anyways?"

  "Yeh... I guess so."

  I then mumbled, "Awesome."

  "I'm going to the deck to speak with Columbus. Coming?" The Doctor asked me. I shook my head.

  "No thank you. I don't want to get slapped again. I'll stay here, just in case." I gave a small smile.

  "Suit yourself. If you need me, just yell as loudly as you can like a girl who just saw a cockroach."

  I saluted him. "Will do." Then the Doctor left the cabin using a trap door. I strolled around the cabin, examining the beautiful artifacts sitting on the shelves. I couldn't believe that I was actually on the Santa Maria with an alien guy named the Doctor. It was like a dream come true!

  While looking at a golden paperweight, in the corner of my eye I saw the figure from earlier. It had a long, slender body and a large head with a big creepy smile. With its arms at its side, you could see its long knife-like fingers. Its  body was black, the smile was grey and its large eyes were bright pink.

  I tried looking directly at it but it just dissapeared.

  "Who's there?" I tried talking to it. No answer. "Show yourself!" I squeaked. I began to hear siren-like (siren as it mermaid like creatures with gorgepus voices that sent sailors to their death ;) voice whisper in my ear.

  Death is your friend, Emily. It told me.

  I recognized the voice far too well. "No," I said. "Leave me alone!"

  You're parents would love to see you DIE.

  "You tell me this every night! Why can't you just leave!" I cried out. Tears formed in my eyes.

  The Doctor will never love you, dear Emily. It said a bit quieter in my ear.

  "Don't say that!" I yelled, turning around trying to see it.

  But it's true, It said. You will never be loved and always left abandoned by anyone you care for.

  I felt my knees buckle and I fell to the floor. "No! Please, stop!" The thing continued to whisper horrible things into my ears. My body fell flat and I covered my ears, pressing my knees against my chest.

  Life is short, but even shorter for you.

  "What have I ever done to deserve this?!"

  You... Were BORN!

  By that point, I was in full on cry mode, I felt like I was practically dying from the inside out. I started screaming. "DOCTOR!!!! DOCTOR, PLEASE!!!" I could feel the Nightmare creature drag it's fingers down my spine, cutting the fabric of my shirt and nicking my skin. I heard the door fly open and the sound of Doc's sonic screwdriver. I was sobbing like a baby when the Doctor covered my body with his.

  "Emily!" The Doctor yelled. "Emily, listen to me!" I was crying to much to pay attention.

  Your precious Doctor won't be able to save you. Your time is now up.

  "NO!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. The Doctor turned my body to face him.

  "Look at me!" He demanded. I squeezed my eyes closed even further. "I said look at me!" He held my face in his hands, causing me to open my eyes slowly. "Good," He said a bit calmer. "Now, ignore everything except my voice."

  No! The demon screeched, it's voice now of a witch's. You will obey me!

  "Ignore everything." Doctor Who told me. I blocked out the sounds, the waves crashing against the boat, the stomping and talking above us. Everything. "You're doing great, Emily. Just, focus on me." I nodded slowly, tears still welling up in my eyes.

  "How long has that Pinkamenalapanus haunted you?" I started crying again. "How long?"

  "S-Since I w-was ten y-years o-old." I stuttered. I felt a sharp pain in my back from the Pinkamenalapanus cutting me. I screamed in pain.

  "It poisoned you!" The Doctor inquired. I yelled again at the pain. "You have to confront it directly!"

  You can't defeat me. I will destroy you. The creature crawled into my mind again.

  "Emily, focus. What would you tell it without stuttering." I swallowed my pain and took 2 deep breaths.

  "I-I would tell it..." I paused and blinked to take away my tears. I growled, bundling my anger into my throat. "I would tell it that it can't control my life-"

  Oh no, she's doing it!

  "-that I am stronger than it. I will overcome anything that it tells me and I will succeed on top."

  "Emily, you're doing it!" The Doctor said excitedly. I stood up and faced the Pinkamenalapanus, without it dissapearing. I glared right into it's eyes, feeling the poison in my back spreading faster.

  "You have made my life a living hell and you will regret everything you have done to me! I hope you rot in Tartarus! I will prosper!" With that last word, the demoness screeched; I watched as the Pinkamenalapanus covered it's face with its clawed hands. The Doctor tackled me onto the ground and covered my ears as the monster made sounds not even possible by any type of technology. The sound would make your ears bleed.

  A minute after the demon was sent to Tartarus, Doc was still laying on top of me, trying to calm me down from that tramatizing moment. The poison stopped spreading and left my body completely, leaving with the Pinkamenalapanus.

  "Emily," Doctor said. "It's gone. It's left your life for good, never to come back. Just calm down."

  "I can't! I still feel like the demon is eating out my soul! I want-" I was cut off by the Doctor kissing me.

Good luck sleeping tonight ;) I love all of you for supporting me this entire time and I hope you Whovians like this book.

In the series, if I make it to the 11th Doctor, I possibly will make a sequel. You know, have the Doc regenerate, possibly add another companion ;)
