A figure stood in front of Eleanor and whispered her name. His voice was breathy and weak as if he was in pain but he stood tall and strait. She tried to walk toward him but her body won't allow it, so there she stood in the blank room with tears streaming down her face. She knew she had to help this man, she knew he was in danger. The back of her hand wiped across her eyes and cleared away the tears. Her insides felt as if they were a sheet of paper being crumpled into a ball. The figure called to her once more with greater fear in his voice. This time Eleanor did not stand still, her legs removed themselves from the floor and she ran towards him. A name slipped out of her mouth and she cried it out.

"Doctor!" she choked out. "I'm here."

He started to lift his head up when a loud noise poured through the room and Eleanor then woke from her dream in tears. She hit the alarm clock sitting next to her and fell out of bed.

She walked over to the mirror and straightened out her chestnut coloured hair and rubbed her hazel eyes.

"Eleanor, hurry up." her mother called from the kitchen.

"Yeah coming Mum, I'll be a second."

Eleanor threw on a red flannel and jeans. She grabbed her worn leather school bag and grabbed a piece of toast on the way out.

"Bye Mum, See ya."

Eleanor always met her friend Lottie at her house on the way to school. To be completely Eleanor didn't care for Lottie. She always wore band shirts for bands she's never heard of and wore shorts that were much too short. Today she wore a Pink Floyd shirt. Eleanor loved Pink Floyd. Lottie talked for fifteen minutes about various types of makeup and boys, Eleanor didn't pay attention. They arrived at school and Eleanor dragged herself to her locker. She pushed her bag into it and sat down and read her book.

"Nora!" Eleanor looked up. She knew this girl was MJ. MJ was the only one called Eleanor "Nora". MJ was the only person who Eleanor actually liked. They had the kind of relationship where they could stay up all night just to tell each other secrets and talk about the newest Star Trek movie. MJ was a tall skinny girl with ginger hair who always wore knee high socks and often said "old sport" to mock The Great Gatsby.

"What are you reading now?"

"Um it's just The Book Thief, its quite good actually, you can borrow it when i'm done."

"Awesome." MJ had the kind of smile that could make you instantly trust her. "Okay, lets go to english now then?"

The day stretched on painfully. Eleanor had loads of homework to finish but her and MJ still found a way to put in a little hike near the wood near their school. They trudged through the dirt and Eleanor tripped over the roots of trees two times. They laughed about Eleanors clumsiness and walked on. The pair had stopped at a large fallen tree about ten minutes in when Eleanor felt that something was watching her. She whipped her head around and a large blue box stood in front of her.

"Hey," Eleanor whispered, "Is that one of those old police boxes."

"Yeah, I wonder what thats doing here."

Something inside Eleanor wanted her to go inside it.

"Im going to go check it out."

"Oh Eleanor no, there could be an animal living in there or something."

"Well it looks new to me, and look the lights on." she said gesturing to the light at the top. "I will be right back."

Eleanor hopped off the log and walked towards the box. She grabbed the door handle, which was surprisingly warm, despite the cold weather. She opened the door looked around then closed the door again.

"It's empty! No animals."

"Well of course it was empty, what were you expecting?"

"A portal to an alternate universe." Eleanor said softly and smiled. "Well lets head back then." Once the two had gone a reasonable distance from the police box Eleanor turned around.

"Shit! I forgot my jacked back at the tree, um you can go on without me, I know you have a lot of homework and all."

"You sure, you're not scared or anything."

"No, not at all."

"Well okay, bye see you tomorrow."

"Yeah you too."

Eleanor stood there until MJ was out of sight then ran as fast as she could back to the police box and threw open the doors.

"You can explain this now," She said, " I know who you are, Doctor."
