Chapter 1: Girl on Fire
The teenage girls' expression made it obvious that she was terribly lost. She looked from side to side as she strode rather quickly through the cold, dark streets of a London alleyway. She had dried blood and bruises all over her face, arms, and legs, but the heavy (ripped) trench coat she wore over herself hid them all. An old homeless man who came into the alleyway saw the disturbed girl; he came closer to her and asked her if she needed help. The girl burst out into tears as she nodded no, she messed up her hair and paced in fast circles. You would think she was insane by the way she was acting, the homeless man did. He backed away slowly and started running away as fast as he could. This girl was on fire, literally. She screamed up at the sky so loud, it echoed through all of London. Her hands spouted fire as her face did the same. She screamed and cried and begged for it to stop and after a few minutes of fiery pain, it did.
She looked down at her hands, they were much smaller and all her bruises were gone. She slapped her face to make sure she was awake and alive.
"What just happened here?!" She murmured to herself. She examined her body once more and noticed she that she was almost half the size she was just minutes ago. In her confusion, she hadn't even realized that the old homeless man had actually come back and was about to get something he had left but stood awestruck at her.
"What?" She said shyly then jumped at how small her voice had sounded.
"Weren't you just the crazy girl a few minutes ago?" He asked.
"I-I don't know..." she stammered because honestly she didn't. All she knew was she didn't look like she normally did. She tried and tried but couldn't remember anything, anything at all. The memory of a war, and her previous age (17) was all she could remember.
"You look like a wee little girl!" The man exclaimed.
She held her breath as she squeaked two words "how old?"
"Why my darling you look like you're 5!"
The girl fell backwards in shock. She tried to process all that had just happened but it was too impossible. She got up on her feet, leaving the old man filled with questions, and ran. Tears streamed down her face and her heart ached but she ran, and she didn't stop. She didn't know why or where she was going but after running and crying for about an hour she stopped and figured out why.
She had a lot of running to do because she was going to do what any little girl would do when she was sad and scared and confused; she was going to find her dad.
15 years later
"... and those aliens were the REAL reason the Greeks called it the Olympics!"
Rory rubbed the sides of his head and sighed, sometimes the doctors 'fascinating adventures' weren't all that fascinating. "But I still don't understand why-"
"Shh Rory!" Amy came up from behind him to stop his whining, "You don't REALLY want him to explain it again now would ya?" She laughed. Rory smiled and hugged his beloved wife.
"So what cha doin? Where we goin now?" Amy asked, still hugging Rory as The Doctor ran around the center of the TARDIS looking for a button.
"Well, I'm trying to find a button that I swear I saw just a minute ago!" The Doctor said completely flustered, "where is it!?"
As he paced around the TARDIS, it pulled a lever and pushed two buttons all by itself. The TARDIS shook terribly sending its three passengers to the floor in shock. After a while of loud rumbling and screaming they landed and the TARDIS made the beautiful whirring noise The Doctor loved so much.
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?" Amy shouted to The Doctor as she got up.
"I believe the TARDIS just forced us to go somewhere..." The Doctor jumped up and headed for the door.
Amy helped Rory up as they exchanged a look and followed the Timelord.
The Doctor pushed open the blue doors and a fresh, cold breeze hit his face.
"LONDON! OH SWEET LONDON!" The Doctor shouted up at the sky as he stepped out the box.
"We're in London?" Rory asked as him and Amy stepped out to see The Doctor pacing around. They had landed in fact in a grassy area just on the outskirts of the city of London; about a kilometer away. Meanwhile, The Doctor was laying sideways on the ground with his ear on the grass.
"What in god's name are you doin?" Amy asked as she stood next to The Doctor.
"It's here..." he said mystically, "I can hear it... in the heart of... London..."
"What is?" Rory asked.
"There's a terrible pounding noise, like something's trying to break out of... the ground..."
"Doctor!" Amy laughed, "what if the TARDIS just brought us here to have fun? Or relax? Maybe there just isn't anything wrong!"
"Well then life would be boring and I wouldn't be here." He said seriously as he jumped up and headed for London.
After they walked into the urban city (The Doctor was very focused and hadn't even bothered to look back) immediately Amy saw many stores she wanted to go to (all very 21st century which was the time period they were in) but The Doctor, who was walking a few feet ahead of them, didn't even say a word as Amy begged and pleaded and Rory tugged her along reminding her they had to follow The Doctor.
After they had hit a busy part of the city, traffic and many people, right in front of everyone The Doctor laid down on the concrete sidewalk and pressed his ear to the ground once again.
"DOCTOR! WHAT ARE YA DOIN?" Amy exclaimed as people walked by staring at them in disgust.
"Ya Doctor, it's embarrassing!" Rory added, "get up!"
"No. I'm listening..."
"Listening to what Doctor?" Amy felt uncomfortable as people walked by and gave the three strange looks.
"It's definitely here! We have to keep moving!" Once again The Doctor jumped to his feet and walked straight through the crowd of people not even saying a simple "excuse me". The couple followed in step behind him as the hid their faces in their chests covering their cheeks with their hands to avoid any further embarrassment; though they did look up for the occasional 'sorry!'
It seemed like they had crossed all of London as the sun had hit its high peak and was already starting to fall back down.
"Doctor! We're starving!" Amy whined with her hand over her stomach. The noise level around the city had gone down at four o'clock so as they met an intersection that luckily wasn't that busy, they crossed the road and kept walking till they reached a park.
"I'm so sorry to hear that Amy." The Doctor said without even turning to Amy or with even the slightest sound of concern in his tone.
"No, you're not," Rory said, annoyed, "what is up with you? Why haven't you looked at us all day? Why haven't you talked to us all day? What is so interesting about this city London?" Rory threw his arms in the air in anger.
The Doctor sighed heavily and turned around with his head low and his hands in his pockets, "I know guys, look I'm sorry. I really truly am," and you could hear the sincerity in his voice, "It's just..." he paused for a moment, "I feel this terribly strange connection to this certain part of the city and I have no idea why. I am very sorry for making you walk for five hours straight and not even giving you a good reason why because honestly I don't know why I'm walking either..." Then he plopped on to the ground and started listening again.
"BLIMEY!" he shouted as he stood up and scanned his sonic around, "This sonic isn't reading correctly! The sound is softer! We passed it!" The Doctor turned around and held one of Amy's' hands and one of Rory's' as he started walking again to the middle of the city.
He dragged his two friends to the last place he heard the noise at its loudest and stood in the exact spot, thinking. Rush hour was starting so people passed by once more but now his friends weren't annoyed, they were curious. The Doctor picked out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the concrete; "Nothing! Why isn't it picking it up?"
"Maybe it's too deep underground?" Amy offered.
"No! This is a SONIC SCREWDRIVER," he articulated the words, "Nothing is too deep for it!"
"Maybe it's just broken?" said a voice.
"Oh Amy? Really? My Sonic is NOT broken!"
"That wasn't me Doctor..."
The three looked left, then right to see someone leaning on a parked car in the street. They held up something in their hand and it glowed a beautiful green color and made a spinning noise.
"Okay... Who holds my sonic!?" The Doctor took a few steps towards the car.
The person appeared a girl, or a woman rather. She twirled the screwdriver in her fingers and waved at The Doctor.
"Hi Sweetie!"
