Identity Crisis Book 1 & 2

Chapter 6: Anna

Alarms in the Tardis were blaring. They were definitely crashing. The Doctor looked at the new form of Annabel. She was lying on the floor passed out. Her eyes softened at the sight.

She suddenly felt like she was forgetting something, something important....that's right, "WE'RE CRASHING!" She yelled.

Lilith ran to Misty, and picked her up, holding her tight, "Wow I'm glad someone's noticed." She said sarcastically as she held on to the railing.

The Doctor ran around the Tardis, "Oh, not to worry. I have a plan, well kind of a plan. Not really a plan...."

"DOCTOR!!!!" Yaz screamed. She had gotten use to River smoothly driving the Tardis, that she almost forgot the bit of horror and adrenaline she got from The Doctor driving. Then again, she couldn't blame The Doctor for Annabel's regeneration triggering this event.

The Crow, rolled her eyes, as she stumbled, "Mind telling us this brilliant plan sunshine!" She said with full blown attitude, "I almost forgot how horrible you are at controlling this bloody thing!"

"Oi!" The Doctor nipped back, feeling her ego had been a tad insulted. She then remembered, "The plan, right, the plan is....HOLD ON!!!!"

Everyone screamed for dear life, as the Tardis fell through the time vortex. Well, everyone except for Annabel who was still lying in the same spot passed out cold.

Meanwhile the chaos on the Tardis was happening, Annabel was dreaming.

"Sweetie...Sweetie..." A voice called out in her dream.

"River?" Annabel sat up and looked around her, but everything was white.

"I'm right here!" The voice called out once more, a little more assertive this time.

The voice suddenly became all too  familiar to Bell. She didn't want to look up. She didn't want to see. She didn't want to be reminded; that her wife was dead.

A hand slowly made its way to Annabel's cheek, caressing it, as Bell kept her eyes closed tight.

The hand left Bell's cheek, only for her feel a single finger to settle under her chin, and lift Annabel's face up.

"Tsk tsk darling. Do you not want to see your wife? I thought we were on better terms than that." Then voice said, then deepened to a smokey tone, "Open your eyes my beautiful Anna."

Bell opened her eyes in shock at the rarely used nickname that only her wife called her a few times.

Anna was the first nickname River ever called her. However, Annabel didn't like it much. From then on River would only call her that when she was acting stubborn.

"It's you, but you're dead..." before Annabel's eyes was River Song, curly blonde hair and all.

"Yes well, that's quite a confusing story. You see I befriended Hades, and she is letting me visit you in your dreams." River replied ever so nonchalantly.

"You befriended the woman that killed you? Why?" Bell asked as she looked at River like she was crazy.

"Oh hush! A little murder never hurt anyone. Anyways, it's quite the story, but we don't have the time. Now what I'm about to tell you, listen very carefully. You need to do one of two things. You need to either let me go, or..." River was interrupted with the blank world around them starting to shake. River then started to slowly fade.

"Or what? Or what, River?" Annabel screamed while feeling utterly helpless about the situation.

River was now gone, but a voice called out, "Go to The Library!!!"

"I'll find you! I'll make this right! I promise!" Annabel screamed in her disappearing dream.

Bell's eyes snapped open. It took her a moment to realize...oh no...they were crashing!

However, Annabel couldn't stay. She needed to find River. She needed to help her. She need to bring her back to life once more...

Bell stood up swiftly, and looked to everyone, "Well its been...NEW VOICE! I have a new vocal cords! Of course I have a new voice, silly me!" She laughed, then continued, "Well! It's been a pleasure, but I think it's about time for me to go AWOL again. Donna, I mean Crow, come on!"

She grabbed ahold of her regular companion, and pushed a few buttons on her Vortex Manipulator, then she looked up to The Doctor, "As for you, keep that proposal on hold? Let's call it a rain check, shall we? Give me another few decades dearie, then we can talk about wedding preparations."

"With that being said, it's to go!" Bell and The Crow suddenly vanished, leaving the others to fall through time and space.
