The First Time You Meet Him

Chapter 1

A.N.: This is going to be me experimenting with writing in second person. If this story gets enough good feedback, I'll probably write a much larger piece in second person, so please leave me a review telling me your honest thoughts (within reason). If you would like to read a multi-chapter fic like this, please drop me suggestions for the plot line or even just some details you'd like to see. Enjoy!

It was nearing midnight when you heard it. You'd almost been asleep when a dry groaning sound came from the kitchen downstairs, ripping you from your slumber. After a mere two seconds of this, the low thud of something dropping caressed your ears and you sat up in bed, thoroughly waking up. One thing was on your mind: logic dictated that nothing and no one could enter the kitchen from outside without first opening and closing the creaky front door.

In the next moment, a different creaking-door sound came, accompanied by the sound of footsteps traversing the kitchen, and then the living room, and then the stairs, and lastly the hallway right outside your door!

Normal people would cry out in terror. After all, your aunt and uncle couldn't possibly be up, and you have no other siblings, so it could only be a stranger outside your door. But it never occurs to you to utter a peep.

Your heartbeat thunders as the doorknob turns, opening to reveal the strangest man you've ever seen. He looked to be in his twenties or thirties, but his emerald eyes appeared centuries older. And sadder. Coffee colored hair flopped over to his right side. At the sight of you, a smile lit up his face.

Glancing around at the posters on your wall – landscapes of so many places – he approaches you slowly. It's either fear or curiosity that keeps you pinned silently to the bed. The man kneels down, looking friendlily into your face. "What's your name?" he asks, a ghost of a smile on his face, accompanying his soft, deep voice.

You shakily give him your name, wondering what his was and why in the world you trust him enough to give him the information. "Who are you?"

He, never breaking eye-contact, replied "I'm The Doctor." He did not look like he'd ever been to med school.

"Come with me," The Doctor suddenly offered, and your mind completely short-circuited.

"Where?" you stammered out.

"Take your pick," The Doctor replied, sweeping his hand out to the many landscapes on your wall. You glance across the wall at so many places. Honduras, Berlin, Beijing, Rio, Greece…

"Berlin," you decide. "I want to see the Berlin Wall."

"How about seeing the Berlin Wall come down?" He offered. You eagerly agreed to that idea, although you had no idea what he meant.

"Come on then," he said in a normal voice. So different from the soft, comforting whisper he'd been using; this voice was loud and confident.

"Shh," you immediately whisper. "Do you want to wake them?"

"Excellent, wake who?" he fires back, kneeling down to eye-level again.

"My aunt and uncle."

"It doesn't matter if we wake them, we can be back in time for breakfast."

"How?"

"Time Travel, duh. Get your head in it," he commands, ruffling your hair. "Come on."

You excitedly climb out of bed and run after him, telling him to wait as you stop to get some clothes.

Upon entering the kitchen, you observe a blue police box in the middle of the floor. Upon entering the box, you witness the biggest, most breathtaking room you've ever seen.

It was decked in orange shades with a steampunk air about it. It seemed less a room and more a house it was so huge!

"I-it's bigger on-" you begin.

"The inside?" The Doctor finishes with you. "I know."

After another few fleeting moments, you decide on a response.

"So this is how we're going to travel in time, huh? It's pretty impressive, I'll give you that."

"I get that a lot," he replies.

"Well," he says, flipping a switch and filling the room with the same groaning as before. "Let's go then, shall we?"

A.N.: As said before, if you want me to continue the story, then please tell me in a review. Also, tell me what you want me to do with the other character, you. Should I keep them gender neutral or female or male? Should I make them a specific age and so on? Also, give me some plot details! I'm an author for the people, so give me something to write! Thank you for your time and GOD BLESS!
