Okay, so this was written by XTimeGirlX, the prologue… what's going to happen, is she is going to write one chapter, then I write the next chapter, and so on… anyway, enjoy!

I remember the year 1944 well, it was the year the bombs were raining down on London and, the year everything changed for me.

My name is Alice McKay and I am 17 years old. I don't know who's the surname is, I'm an orphan you see; it doesn't bother me though, I never knew my parents, and so can't and don't miss them. Miss Murray, who keeps the orphanage, always told me my mother was alone when she died and that I was just a baby.

But one day everything changed. Some travellers arrived, but they were no ordinary travellers. One was a girl, a little older than me, blonde and very pretty. And then there was the man. He was the strangest man I had ever met, but also the most brilliant. He saved my life.

I don't know his name, I don't think anybody does. He just said to call him 'The Doctor'. But the girl had a name, it was Rose and it suited her I think.

Things had been weird for some time, noises in the night, children disappearing. Then one day I saw them.

I had got up in the night to go to the toilet, I was always scared of the dark but now every creak frightened me to the core. Four children had gone missing that week; I really didn't want to be the fifth. Then I saw them.

Out of the window were a crowd of children, walking down the cobbled street. I recognised some of them. On the right hand side I could see little Jamie Hurst and then there was Abigail Greene. What on earth were they doing? Quickly, I rushed downstairs and outside, thinking I could get them to come inside, that I'd found them! But once I got closer to them I realised with horror.

They were not themselves anymore.

They walked in unison, their eyes staring straight ahead, never blinking. Their eyes weren't the same. Jamie Hurst's usual bright green eyes were shimmering silver, as though light poured from them. All the children's eyes were the same.

They were like...zombies.

It was my scream that alerted them and they turned, in unison to face me. And then it all went black.

I woke up in the dark, laid down on something and I had no idea where I was. Suddenly there was a bright silver light, shining in my eyes. I gathered all too quickly that they were trying to turn me into one of them.

The next few minutes passed as a blur. The Doctor and Rose burst in, shouting various things I couldn't understand. Then The Doctor began fiddling and banging with something I couldn't see but whatever he was trying to do, it worked. The silver light disappeared and some normal lights came on.

As I sat up and looked around, I took in my surroundings. I was laid on a hospital like bed; the crowd of children surrounded me. But they weren't zombie like anymore, they looked perfectly normal!

The Doctor had saved them and he had saved me.

But none of them thanked him, not one. They just turned and ran, right back home. Maybe they didn't remember, I don't know.

But I knew that he had saved my life and so I thanked him. And in return he told me who he was, who Rose was. And he told me what they did.

I couldn't believe my ears when he told me they travelled in time. But I almost fainted when he offered me something beyond belief.

He offered me one trip, a trip in his magical time machine. I could go anywhere, time and space. Wow.

'So what do you think? One trip?' He asked.

And I just nodded, smiling as he led me outside to 'The TARDIS' as he called it.

It was a box. Just a blue wooden box. I frowned but stepped inside as he held the door opened. But my frown soon turned to wide eyes as I took in the impossible interior.

And amazed, I whispered.

'It's bigger on the inside.'
