Mickey and i bolted for the door, me nearly slipping in the tea Mickey had knocked over but i caught my balance easily enough.
"Get off! Get off me!" Rose was yelling, being dragged away from the Tardis by two of the aliens. "The door! Close the door!"
I managed to slam it shut just as an alien grabbed hold of me, pulling me away with Mickey and Rose to a couple of other people – one i recognised as Harriet Jones the Prime Minister.
"Rose. Rose! I've got you. My Lord. Oh, my precious thing. The Doctor, is he with you?" Harriet asked.
"No. We're on our own," Rose said, avoiding my glare.
How could she just give up on the man she supposedly loved? Even i didn't give up on the man and i only just met him! Or maybe that was the odd new attraction i was feeling toward him. It wasn't because of his looks changing, well not completely, but something in my mind was suddenly screaming that he was available. I was broken from my thoughts as one of the aliens said something.
"The red girl," the guy with the prime minister said, pointing to me, "She has the clever blue box. Therefore, she speaks for your planet."
Ah, he was a translator, so i would call him Translator guy for now. Wait, what did he say?!
"What, no i don't!" i exclaimed.
"Yeah, you can," Mickey encouraged, "You're smart, go on!"
"I'm sorry who are you?" Harriet asked me.
"Er, Alex, hi," I waved timidly.
"Alex c'mon, someone's got to be the Doctor and you're the smartest one in here," Rose insisted, "Please."
"They'll kill you!" Harriet exclaimed.
"Never stopped him," i said then sighed, "Okay so, I address the Sycorax – Sycorax, yeah?" i checked with Translator guy, he nodded, "Okay, um, i speak on behalf of Planet Earth, under the jurisdiction of the – the Time Lords," i rambled, thinking of what i had read, "Under the Laws of the Shadow Proclamation, Article 57, it is prohibited to destroy a Level – Level 5 planet if no law has been broken. As there is no representative of the council here, I invoke Convention 15, the cessation of hostile actions in order to Parley."
The leader spoke again and i looked to Translator guy, waiting to hear what he said. Meanwhile, Rose and Mickey were staring at me like i'd grown a second head. Well we were on a spaceship, anything could happen.
"How does the red girl know of these laws?"
"My knowledge is not the thing in question," i said, trying not to back away as i looked at the Sycorax leader, "I order you under these legislations, turn around and leave Earth."
They spoke again and the man translated it for me, looking none too happy.
"You are a very smart girl, but now you're going to die."
"Leave her alone!" Rose and Harriet exclaimed.
"Don't touch her!" Mickey shouted but they were all held back as the Leader stepped up to stand right in front of me, speaking. But for some reason, i could understand what he was saying, and shortly after, the others could too.
"Did you think because you are clever with your words that you would make a difference? We are the Sycorax, we stride the darkness. Next to us you are but a wailing child. If you are the best your planet can offer as a champion then your world will be gutted and your people enslaved."
"Hold on, that's English," the translator said.
"He's talking English," Harriet agreed, and then Rose repeated it, almost grinning.
