Travel (Doctor Who)

Chapter Twelve

"Nice to see you in tip top shape." The Doctor says, although I can tell he isn't focused, becuase his eyes are looking everywhere.

"I'm guessing you know where we are?"

He nods, and gulps. "The TARDIS. It's supposed to be in there." pointing to the small cottage, I realize that The Savior and Autumn were in there.

"Then let's go!" I yell, and we start to run, finally getting to the home.

"What was this used for?" I ask, and he shakes his head. "I wouldn't know."

"Don't even." I spit out as we walk into the cottage, seeing Autumn and The Savior huddled up, Autumn terrified as The Savior conforts her.

"Holla." I say, waving, as I hear The Doctor mumble something about the TARDIS being upstairs, the third floor.

For a moment, all is calm, and I sit down, catching my breath.

But only for a moment.

"EXTERMINATE!" I hear, and quickly get up.

"They're at the door!" I hear The Savior yell, and we all sprint to the stairway, The Doctor first, Autumn, me, and The Savior.

When we get to the second floor, I hear multiple Daleks at the first floor, all chanting, and I shiver, realizing how thin the floor is on this floor.

We sprint towards the staircase, as I hear Autumn howl, and turn to see her, half her body on the second floor, and half of it hanging out.

"Autumn!" I scream, and as I run to her, my foot gets caught in a hole, and I start to pull it out, noticing that it has a strong grip on my ankle.

"Oh God." I mumble, and instantly The Savior is by my side, pulling my leg.

I turn and see The Doctor staring at Autumn's hanging body, then at me.

"Help her Doctor!" I scream, trembling.

He stares at me one last time, and runs.

Expect he doesn't run to Autumn.

The Doctor scatters up the stairs, heading to his blue box.

I scream curse words at him, telling him he's a coward as I continue to pull my leg.

The chants get closer, and I stuggle, knowing there's no hope.

"Go! Save Autumn!" I yell at him, and he nods, running to Autumn and her tear stained face.

As he's halfway to her, she looks into my eyes one last time, and drops, leaving a scream behind her.

"Autumn!" I shriek, my face now coated in tears.

I see The Savior tremble, and back up, running to me, knowing there isn't time to mourn.

The chanting is too close, and I scream, telling him to leave me.

"I'm not leaving without you!" He yells back.

I shake my head. "No! Go! It always ends like that! Just go!"

He shakes his head, and finally, my leg gets out of it.

I grasp his hand and run up the staircase, glacing at the hole Autumn fell from one last time, my heart aching.

Out of no where, I hear The Savior yelp, and push me to the side as a blue light goes past me, and I scream.

I stare at his cold body laying on the stairs, and trace his face with my fingers, shaking my head.

"No! No, no, no!" I howl, and rush to the third floor, to see the TARDIS standing there.

I sprint up to it, pulling on the handle, seeing that it's locked.

"Doctor! Open the door! Doctor!" I screech, pounding the door.

That is, until it starts to disappear.

I stumble back, once I realize I'm no longer staring at the big blue box, but instead, thin air.

I drop to my knees, and cradle my head, praying that this was some type of nightmare.

That's it.

A nightmare.

That was all this was.

I shut my eyes tighly,and re-open them to find myself back in Autumn's room, with the gun in my hand, staring at the two faces I thought were gone forever.

"Any ideas yet?" I hear, and turn to face the sick smirk that brought me here.

I get up, and raise my hand, smacking her cheek.

Except it goes right through her.

Honestly. My hand goes right through her.

I back up, she smiles, showing her perfectly white teeth.

"Let's pretend that didn't happen. Okay?"

I slowly nod, and she stares at the gun, then at me.

"Tick tock. I haven't got all day."

I turn slowly to look at the two victims, and sigh.

Then, raising the gun high, I squeeze my eyes, and shoot, not sure who I gave there last breath.

After all, I knew the truth.

It was just another nightmare.
