The Guardian's P.O.V
It's been a while since the Doctor saved me and I have loved every moment. Sure I have been stuck on bed rest so I could recover but I'm all healed and ready for my first adventure.
Apparently a lot happened while I was resting some guy named Adam was here, and then messed up and got dropped off. Ha, stupid ape.
Anyway the Doctor has become like a father to me now. I still haven't told him the rest of my background since Rose interrupted us, we haven't had a real private moment to talk.
Speaking of Rose, we have become almost like siblings , at times she has her moments of being like a mother but I see her as a sister.

Anyway the Tardis has locked into some small aircraft and we are now in pursuit of it.
"What's the emergency?" Rose asks.
"It's mauve." I replied
"Mauve?" Rose questions
"The universally recognised colour for danger." The Doctor answered this time. I don't mind that he did I was kind of busy helping him fly the Tardis, which when he discovered I could fly the Tardis was very shocked. I had completely zoned out and only caught the end of the conversation, kind of. I heard something about it being thirty seconds from the centre of London. 'I really need to try listening more, I get too focused on one thing.' I thought, sighing.

As the Tardis materialised in some back ally the Doctor had to make a comment "Do you know how long you can knock around space without happening to bump into Earth?". This caused Rose to say something about...when the milk runs out? I don't know what's wrong with me. Sure I have been having nightmares about..things, but I can go years without a full night of sleep. I have been doing it for ages. Only getting an hour of sleep if I'm lucky. I guess it because of this bond me and the Doctor have now and I feel the need to tell him everything but I don't, and it's affecting me. Like guilt. 'I'll tell him after we are done finding whatever crashed to earth... wait haha I did listen." I am snapped it of my thoughts as the Doctor grabs my hand and we go inside a door he just opened with his sonic. ' I guess Rose has her own job?'
As we enter, the Doctor stops and crouches down so he's eye level with me.
"Are you alright?" He asks, he has a concerned expression.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" It's not a complete lie, I feel fine.. kind of.
"You sure, you seem out of it." He didn't look convinced. Uhhhm. Think of something good, come on brain.
"Yeah, just looking around a lot. It's been a while since I've been anywhere and I'm caught up in my surroundings." I give a small smile as I say this, reassuring him I'm fine. It seems so have worked, his gaze turned from a concerned one to a sad smile. But I saw that a part of him wasn't completely convinced. Oh well, better than nothing.
I stayed near the back wall as the Doctor went up to the stage, stopping the woman on there from singing.
"Excuse me. Excuse me. Could I have everybody's attention just for a mo? Be very quick. Hello! Might seem like a stupid question, but has anything fallen from the sky recently?" There was silence. Then laughter. Why are they laughing? I looked around and saw all of the propaganda posters. We are in the middle of the Second World War. Of course something would have dropped from the sky. The bombs.
I sighed and face palmed and kept my hand over the bridge of my nose, almost hiding my face.
The Doctor didn't see any of the signs and continued to ask questions, only to make the people laugh. The air raid siren then rang and people began to leave. People talked about getting to the shelter. Leaving the Doctor to look around and see a poster about Hitler sending no warning. He looked at me and my almost embarrassed face, whilst finishing his sentence " Bang."
"Nice one. You here next Friday for another show?" The sarcasm in my voice made the Doctor playfully glare at me as he muttered a small shut up back at me, causing me to smile and silently laugh at his reaction. 'Never gonna let him forget this.' I thought with an evil smirk.
We went back into the ally to find no Rose.
"Rose?" The Doctor called out. There was no reply, well not really, a cat meows.
I can't resist, I walk over to the car and start to pet it, making it purr. I just stand there with the cat now in my arms listening to the Doctor's complaining.
"You know, one day, just one day, maybe, I'm going to meet someone who gets the whole don't wander off thing. Nine hundred years of phone box travel, it's the only thing left to surprise me."
I couldn't suppress the smile that found its way onto my lips as the Doctor says this. 'Funny' is all I could think to myself, but I still felt worried for Rose. She could be anywhere. I like Rose and I don't want to know how I would react if she got hurt.. or worse.
All of a sudden, the Tardis' phone begins to ring. The Doctor just stares and glances at me with a confused expression. I can tell from the look on his face he is trying the say ~How is this happening. Did you know it could do that?~. I just shrug and sadly put the cat down, gesturing for him to answer it.
"How can you be ringing? What's that about, ringing? What am I supposed to do with a ringing phone?" He gets his sonic out and a voice interrupts from within the ally.
" Don't answer it. It's not for you." It was a girl.

Umm hi. I know it has been a while since I have updated, I have no real reason accept I'm lazy.
I needed to post something so this chapter is a lot shorter but it's a start.
Can I just say THANK YOU!!! This book has got over 700 reads, I never would have expected this.
Thanks again and if I don't post again within the next couple of weeks please don't be afraid to tell me to hurry up, it will help. I guess that's it hope you enjoyed the start of the empty child
