Doctor who: Born in Time

Chapter 17 Alien language and One Step Closer!

3rd persons P.O.V

Amy and Rory asked around the locals trying to pry some kind of information from them. Most sent them curious looks and shuffled away quickly if they got to close. Those who were brave and willing enough told them what they could but nothing that was useful. It was like the whole town was running on fear! An hour later they sat in glass chairs sipping a weird fruit beverage the Christallin race seemed to enjoy. The owner of the beverage shop told them what she could and gave them a drink and table to sit at.

"So..." Amy asked. "What have we got?"

"There are ten elders, they have been here for centuries and have ruled over the planet since it was created... that's not much to go on"

Amy nodded and drank the rest of her drink. "Well come on we can't sit here are all day..

Or night...whatever, we need to find something useful"

" What else can we find we've been asking for ages nobody is willing to talk to us" he protested.

"Well...we'll... we'll...Aha try a different method" Amy grabbed Rorie's hand and dragged him to a clothes shop.

"What are you doing" Rory hissed as Amy grabbed a few items from the racks.

"Getting disguises, make us look more like locals maybe they talk to someone familiar"

"We don't even look like them-"

"You got a better idea roman?" Amy asked eyebrow raised.

"No but-"

"Exactly, now hold these"

She shoved two tunics, a Belaclava and a mask into his hands.

"How are we going to pay for these we have no money"

"Improvise!"

A christallin woman came out from the back of the shop dabbing her eyes with a silk like texture material. She saw customers and imediatley smiled.

"Salma strangers is there something you find interesting in my home shop or are you admiring my cloaking" (Salma- greetings cloaking-clothes so your not confused)

She placed her arms across her chest and Amy and Rory glanced at each other.

"Uh...Salma" Amy repeated crossing her arms over her chest Rory copying her.

The Christallin smiled. "Oh you speak our language?... Salma embers, alle, alle" (Welcome new friends come in come in)

"Uh...ca ullis cloaking" (we want these clothes) Amy slapped a hand to her mouth and Rory stared at her in suprise.

"E Non ka lios Alin" (I didn't know you spoke alien)

"Omg Ka le te" (omg- obviously- so are you)

The woman stared at the strange pair. "Ka aries alins" (Your strange aliens)

"Lo le liose ka lagunes" Amy asked (how are we speaking your language)

"If you wish to speak your home planet language, Image the sound of it in your mind"

"How will that work...oh...well that was strange" Rory said confused.

"On our home planet our language is friendly so we allow those who visit us to communicate with us if they wish it. Once you speak christallin you will always remember it"

"Its a lovely... um...language" Rory said akwardly.

Suddenly there was a loud crash from the back and the womans expression changed to one of fear.

"What was that?" Amy asked slowly walking towards the back room.

"Its nothing" the woman said quickly running up to the door and blocking it.

"Why are you hiding something?" Amy asked curiously peering into the back room.

"Please rest here I'll be gone for one moon minute" the woman disappeared into the back.

"I wonder what she's up to" Amy said tilting her head towards the door.

"Why do I get the feeling were about to find out"Rory groaned.

"Because roman" she pointed a finger at his chest. "The Doctor told us to find information and this is what I call information" she crept towards the glass door and listened in Rory sighed and followed her actions.

"Isa!Isa! Non prey kas" The woman begged to an armour figure. (No,no don't harm them)

"What are they saying?" Rory whispered.

"Hold on" Amy imagined listening to the Crystalis in her mind.

"Ces le essos kiresa fe ka planet"

"They are soldiers fighting for your planet" Amy repeated.

"Isa! ka prom to kelle mi kin squi, mi brace Christallia ire, ist ka ast. Mi fin Christallia embers GIA MI KIN BALT"

"No you promised to keep my children safe. I brought the girl here like you asked. I found the girls friends give me my children back...oh dear..."

"What?"

"Rory we need to get out of here" Amy said seriously.

The man in the armour turned around. Amy grabbed Rorie's hand and they bolted out of the shop before the man could see them. Amy kept looking back making sure no one was following them, suddenly she bounced off something and landed on the ground with a thump.

"Ow that hurt" she snapped she looked up and grinned.

"Doctor!"

The Doctor looked down. "Amy!"

Amy got up and brushed herself down.

"Some thing bad happend" they said simultaneously.

"You go first" Amy said.

"Violets missing" The Doctor said seriously worry gleaming in his green eyes.

Amy and Rory shared a knowing glance. "We know where she might be" Rory said.
