I do not own Doctor Who! I created Azriel and Lily.
Chapter 1
Candy: Check. Popcorn: Check. Soda and Water: Check. I was going through the list of items that my friends and I will need for this afternoon. So far I had everything, but there was a bunch of us showing up to this marathon that it's difficult to know if you have too little or too much snacks. Still, I have to make sure that everything was all set before I get ready myself. So back to the checklist! Snack cakes: check (those will be the first to go). Plates: check. Napkins: check. Plastic ware: check.
That's everything! I thought, smiling. I hope everyone brings what they are supposed to bring.
My hand went up to my neck and started to play with the silver pocket watch that I wear like a necklace. It is what I have left of my parents since they passed away. Wearing it is easier since it feels like they are with me and I can't seem to open it. It's a habit of mine for whenever I feel nervous or worried. My phone started to go off, playing the Doctor Who theme song for whenever I received a text messege. Bringing myself back to reality, I checked my phone and saw a text from my friend, Lily. It read: Where r u? Better get here within the next hour or we will start without you. L
I checked the time and was surprised that it was already 11 a.m. The marathon was scheduled to begin exactly at noon. Gathering my shower materials and clothes, I sprinted out of my dorm room (I live in a single so I can study without any distractions) and was running down the hallway towards the bathroom. About twenty minutes later, I was speed walking across the college campus from my dormitory to one of the buildings that has the conference room where we were holding the marathon. I manage to make it before they even started to play any of the Doctor Who episodes. Yes, you heard me! This is a Doctor Who party, where the Whovians gather, eat food, talk, and watch episodes of every series of Doctor Who. How do I fit into all of this? I'm a girl who is the walking encyclopedia on Doctor Who. My friend thinks I am the real life Rose Tyler because I have shoulder length blonde hair, brown eyes, and from London (even though I attend to a university in America).
"You're here!" Lily shrilled, as I came staggering into the conference room with the bags of food. She turns back to everybody else who were in the room. "Azriel is here!"
The room cheered and a few Whovians came over and took the bags away from me. I went over to Lily, my only true friend, and gave her a hug. She returned the hug, and then dragged me over to a seat near the room's big screen television. Lily planted me in the seat and told everybody to grab a seat for the marathon was about to start. As everyone started to be seated, I thought I heard someone whispering into my ear. I turned around, but no one was sitting behind me. The whispering continued, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. Then, the television turned on and the room went silent. We started with Series One; all of us get excited when Christopher Eccelston came on screen as the Ninth Doctor. Took us a couple of hours, but we finished Series One and were now starting Series 2.
As we were watching Series 2, the whispering started up again, but this time I can hear what they are saying. It was during the episode School Reunion, I was watching as the Tenth Doctor (played by the incredible David Tennant) walks in as Rose and Sara Jeanne were laughing while trying to solve a case. It was when the scene ended the whispers started once more and the words are much clearer.
Return to your room, the whispers tell me,and be prepared for what is to come. HE has come!
"Sorry, Lily," I said to my friend, who was trying to convince me to stay. "But I forgot that I left laundry in the dryer back at the dorm."
That was a total lie, but I had to do what the whispers say. I don't know why, but it just seems right to do. Once I manage to leave the room, the whispers were telling me to run. Never ran so fast just to return to my room before, but all the while I couldn't help thinking about what the whispers meant by HE. I reached my dorm room within record time, but hesitated at the door. What is happening in my room that is so important?
You must be brave, the whispers say, for HE is an old friend and is in danger!
"What is going on?!" I asked, looking for the source. "Who are you? Why is it important for me to abandon my friends just to return to my room? Who is this HE you are talking about?'
Everything will make sense, the whispers assured me, once you witness your life's truth and see what you are destined to be.
I sighed, inserted my room key into the lock, closed my eyes, and opened the door. Opening my eyes, I turn on my rooms light and saw nothing was out of the ordinary… except for a blue police box on the other side of my room. I entered the room, closed the door before anyone peeks in, and slowly walked over to the strange object. My mind was trying to register that a blue police box had somehow materialized in my dorm room. Only one theory popped in my head and the only person who has a box that can do such a thing.
There is no way he can exist, I thought to myself. This can't be really happening!
After that thought, the door of the blue police box opened and out stumbled is a certain someone that I never thought would exist.
Hey, fellow Whovians! How do you like what I have so far? Favorite and/or review! Prepare for Chapter Two!
