Part One
Chapter 1: My world
When Hally woke she saw that she was down the wrong side of the bed, weird she'd gone to sleep on the right side, how did she get from one end to the other, she'd basically flipped herself from the pillow end to the end were you usually put your feet. Funny. Well not really, but you know.
Hally was different she wasn't like all the other 19 year olds, she wasn't even fully human, and to make matters worse she wasn't even 19...try 357, and still looking great!
Hally had longish brown hair which had a wild style of it's own, and was pretty tall for her age.
Her eyes gave it away though, a deep purple colour that Hally had to pretend were contacts.
Annoyingly Hally's eyes changed colour depending on her mood but always still a purple.
Angry they were deep dark purple.
Scared, lilac.
Calm, her normal indigo.
Happy, violet.
Sad totally out, turquoise.
Ok I lied they aren't all purple.
So, Hally got up and went down the stairs, then she remembered her dream, it wasn't the nicest of dreams so maybe that's how she ended up the wrong way, but how do you flip yourself over as well. She decided to forget it.
Hally usually had odd dreams like that it's sort of the way of the Time Lords.
So she got down stairs and made breakfast as we all do in the world. Her foster mum came down greeted her with the usual grunt, which Hally knew meant "don't ask me anything I don't do mornings."
Chloe (her foster mother) may seem not the nicest of people by this little bit of information, but really she's pretty nice but like I said she doesn't do mornings.
Hally finished her breakfast, grunted back and skulked back up the stairs, wishing school was not in 10 minutes time.
Quickly getting ready, as so not to miss the bus, she dressed her self in her usual scruffy way.
Top un-tucked, socks inside out, shoe laces untied, hair not really brushed, and tie not on. She ran down the stairs and grabbed her bag rushed out and for once actually caught the bus.
She sort of tidied herself up a bit on the bus and made herself look a bit better.
Ok go to school, do boring lessons, eat, more lessons, home, sleep.
Hally repeated that over and over in her head until she finally got to school.
"Ok here we go with the lessons!"
English was rubbish.
P.E was stupid.
Science was boring.
And geography… I'll explain.
Hally had just entered the classroom and someone was already leaving.
Well this is going to be good I haven't even started and someone's left already.
The lesson started.
The teacher was talking about Roman times and how they were so fascinating, Hally just yawned.
What was that?
A small vibration took Hally's attention, to small for anyone else to notice.
The teacher kept rambling on.
Boom
The vibration was coming closer but still only about 10 miles off. She could still feel it, but no-one else could, another thing about being Time Lord.
BOom
Now it was becoming a tiny little noise in the back ground like someone's MP3, you can still hear it but you have to listen really closely.
BOOm, now some of the kids were turning round.
"What's that miss?" someone asked,
" Oh, I'm sure it's nothing, now please listen!"
BOOM, no, now people were starting to question it with quizzical looks and scared expressions. Some ran out the class room to look out the window, others were plain stupid and hid under tables.
"Now kids please stay in your seats".
Hally went out the classroom and into the corridor.
BOOM!, the vibrations hit Hally straight in the stomach, she curled over in pain, people were looking at her, no-one else was effected, but they weren't Time Lords.
Hally managed to stand, and then she started to run, the Boom's were coming and every time they did she had to stop to shield herself, she ran and ran all the way back to Recall Street she rushed into her house.
BOOM!
Hally fell to the ground, and quickly shielded herself, she could feel herself boiling up and she knew that her shield couldn't last forever under such a strong force. Her shield was about to break under the pressure. Hot white pain was pushing it's way through her shield, Hally could feel the presence of another creature, something not from this world, she could feel it pushing down onto her trying to squash her against the cold hard floor beneath. Hally reached out into the heart of the creature and felt it's centre, she used the last remnant of her energy to blow out the life of the creature, Hally's shield broke down the creature plunged down on top of her,
When everything stopped. There was a moan, Hally' s moan. She got up, there was dust, no sign of any creature. She cleared the dust with a flick of her hand. And looked around, where she was standing there was nothingness, just a blackened street, was she dead? In a nightmare? This was no nightmare and she knew it… She turned back her mother was scissored to the ground. She had to look away from the blackened body, she took in the ruining street, there was nothing left of what was once her house or her street. From what Hally could see the damage went on for miles, the whole of East London perhaps, probably the whole of London if Hally had not stopped it. Yet again Hally was alone, lost and alone, in the face of death.
