The Doctor's Daughter

Chapter 10

I don't know where I am. And.... I don't wanna go. I'm in a room with a pink, giant couch, and two giant circular windows to look out from. The room is almost like a pink color, with blue lines here and there squirming around up it. The shape of the room is strange, curving up dome sorta thing. Come to think of it, everything is the link color, from the couch to the walls and the floors and ceilings.
I sit on the squishy couch, looking outside the windows. What I see is astonishing. I see myself, me, in a coma laying on a hospital bed. Tubes are connected everywhere on me, and my breathing is rapid. The doctor, River, and Amy stand nearby, the doctor breaking down hysterically sobbing. River comforts both Amy the doctor, rocking them back and forth.
And right there, the urge is so strong to go to them, my family, to go comfort that I forget everything else. I forget the fact that I'm probably, literally, inside my head right now, sitting on my squishy pink brain/couch. I forget what reality is, which version of what I remember or see is real. All that matters is getting to them. Suddenly, my vision goes black, almost as if it never was really there.I see darkness, and I can't move. I can't move an inch, I can't speak, I can't do anything. I hear a muffled conversation.
"I'm sorry. She has suffered from anxiety attacks since she was young, it's on her records, but of course you wouldn't be aware of that. Something must have sent her into a state of trauma, where her brain felt the need to protect her by shutting down. A normal response, actually. The reason she is in a coma is because this... event, happened to be so traumatic that it put her in an almost permanent state of protection. However, she will come out of this coma in at most an hour. When she wakes up, you will need to keep it from her. The truth about everything, I'm afraid. You will need to lie and say that you, the doctor, aren't the doctor, just her father who was there for her while she was in a coma for her entire life. River, your her mum, who is also just a regular mum who was there for her, and Amy, your her.... sister, I'm afraid. So sorry, but you guys act so alike, and your so young."More sounds of sobs ring through the room, and they sound like Amy's.
"And you will have to change your names. Doctor, your name will be John Smith, as usual. River, your name will be Melody Smith, and Amy, your name is Amelia Smith, because she won't recognize that probably. I'm sorry, but as a medical doctor, it's my job to tell you this news. I will leave you will your family member so your alone when she wakes up." The sound of footsteps get fainter as a door slams shut.
The conversation goes into murmurs, and I can't make out what they are saying it. I hear a few fragments of a conversation, like, 'I already bought a house for us to all live in and portend to be normal in' and 'we just have to cope, she will find out when she is ready'. Finally, darkness swallows me whole and I slip into unconsciousness.
I wake up, and my vision is blurry and confusing. Slowly, it comes into focus, and I see the doctor sitting next to me, holding my hand with one hand and the other wipes tears off of his face. "Emily? Darling? It's me, your dad." He says in a shaking voice. I sit up. "Yeah, your my dad, but your the doctor. What happened? Why are we in a human hospital? Shouldn't we-shouldn't we be in the tardis?" I question, more confused then ever. He widens his eyes, confused as well. "What's a tardis? Honey, you've been in a coma since the accident when you were 5. And I'm not the doctor, but I will ask the neurologist (head doctor for comas and such) for medicine if you need some more."
I shake my head. "What about River and Amy?" I ask. He looks at me strangely. "I dunno what you mean, but if you mean your mum and sister, they went down to the hospital's food court. They will be here soon. Love, do you remember anything from the accident?" My dad asks. Unknowingly, I shake my head no.
"Well," he begins. "When you were 5 years old, mummy and I were driving our car with you in the back seat, and it had rained the night before. The wet roads were covered with ice, and we lost control of the car. You got the worst of it all, your mum and I weren't damaged severely. However, for the past 8 or so years, you've been in a coma. The neurologist said you might wake up with slight amnesia, and possibly only remember the dreams you had in the coma." What he says makes sense. But almost too much sense. It just doesn't seem real.
"So, I never traveled through time and space? I never met aliens, never was kidnapped and tortured, never saved your life, never was under mind control? I never was meant to kill you, you were never a Timelord from Galifray? It was all just a long, sick, twisted dream?" I say with tears running down my face. A little shocked, he nods slowly. "I'm sorry life isn't what it seemed to be, but I promise we will do everything we can to make you enjoy it. After we take you home, we can go anywhere you want. Go on a road trip, Disney, The Bahamas, wherever you want." Dad says with a broken heart. I know he is trying to make me feel better, but it's not working. I just keep picturing him as the doctor.
"We can go anywhere, you say?" I ask. He nods eagerly. I shake my head. "Anywhere except for time and space, which hold the only places I would want to go." I cover my face as I say it, depressed. The neurologist walks in to inspect my head, and I fall back into the depths of my consciousness.

"Emily! Quickly! Wake up!" I look up, my head swimming. I'm in the tardis, the doctor and River and Amy standing over me, Amy crying quietly. The doctor is panicking. "Emily, listen, the other Emily, the look alike that sent you into darkness before, you remember? Well, she trapped you in the parallel universe she came from, one where she was in a coma. Technically, she still should be, but she put you in her place. Hang in there, the parallel forms of us actually believe that you've been in a coma from an accident, that your there normal daughter who they love dearly. When you wake up, don't mistake them for us. We are coming to rescue you, because there is danger in that world. Remember, these people are the exact opposite of us. Hang in there, kiddo, play it low. Act like you live there, like your normal and you belong. Aliens there will kill you if they find out your from our universe. Don't believe ANYTHING that they tell you, and just remember that we are coming for you, coming to help you." The doctor says this all as quickly as possible. "I love you!" Amy shouts. River blows me a kiss. Then my vision goes black once more.
