Hi there! This is my first story... Hoping you enjoy it? It's all awkward at the first story because you don't know what to say.
ANYWAYS
(Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story except for Phoenix. All the rest belongs to BBC!)
I was running. Running for dear life. Running from the monsters. I had always thought they were a story. A story, that's all they were. Toclafane. Just a story. But no… real as me. I could have been going crazy. Could have gone insane. But I was still going to run, in case I wasn't.
Running was a challenge though, for I was in heels. Probably not a good idea to wear them on my walk to the lake. It was going to be a peaceful walk, one that I normally did, sitting under the silver trees near the lake, watching the day pass by.
But no, the toclafane had to come and ruin it all, didn't they?
I sighed, as I kept running.
Why were they chasing me anyways? I wasn't special. I was probably one of the dullest time-ladies out there. So why? I sigh, again, not knowing the answers this time.
There was probably a reasonable explanation for it all, probably some prank Theta and Koshcei were getting up to again.
I almost laughed. Those two were always up to trouble, no matter where I looked. They were my friends, best friends actually. We had so much fun all the time….
Me, Theta, and Koshcei were running down the hill away from the school. We had just pranked all of the teachers, making them sprout a tail. Once we got far away enough, we all burst out laughing. It had been the funniest thing ever, seeing one of the teachers sprout a tail of an earth animal, commonly known as a fox. It had ended up getting the whole school laughing. Then, of course, they figured out it was us, and that's when we started running. "Best…. Prank….. Ever…!" I gasp out, grinning. We couldn't stop laughing. When we finally calmed down, we were all grinning evilly. " We have got to do something like that again! That was hilarious!" Koshcei said. Theta and I nodded enthusiastically. We were all going to be in big trouble with out parents later, but we didn't care. That prank had been one of the best we had ever done.
I smiled at the memory. That had been one of the funniest pranks we had ever done, if not the best.
We got grounded for a year, but it wasn't that bad. We had done many pranks after that, but none compared to that one.
The only time I had smiled so much after that was when a special someone kissed me.
Theta and I were walking along the lakeside, gazing up at the moons. We were so entranced by them, we hadn't even noticed our intertwined hands. I was the one to break the silence. "No matter how many times I see those moons, they still look amazing." I whisper quietly. Theta just nods. We stop walking and stare at them for a little while longer. Then Theta interrupted the silence. " There's something I have to say." He whispers. I could hear the nervousness in his voice. At that moment, I had been wondering what he was so nervous about. I turned to face him. "Well, ever since we met, you were always… special. Very very special." He whispered, a faint blush on his cheeks. I stare into his eyes. Crystal blue, as always. I suddenly became very self-conscious, and noticed that were holding hands. But I didn't let go. I didn't want to let go. "I just want to say…. I…" He mumbles, but I cut him off by standing on my tiptoes and kissing him deeply. He, of course kissed back. It was amazingly sweet, his lips against mine in the moonlight. But it felt all too soon when we broke apart. "Phoenix, I…." He sighs, trying to gather his courage again. "I love you." I stare right into his eyes. I was frozen. Not from mortification or anything, just shock. The kind when you hear your crush say the three words you've always been waiting to hear. I finally regained my senses, and brought him into a bone-crushing hug. "I love you too you idiot." I whisper in his ear. He just grins at me, and I grin back. Then he captures his lips on mine again. I would never get bored of that. When we broke away again, I mumble into his ear. "Time to tell my brother the news…" Theta took a grim expression on his face, and I just laughed. Koshcei, my older brother by like two minutes, was very over-protective. "It can wait…" Theta mumbles, pulling me into another kiss. I just grin against his lips.
I hadn't actually seen Theta in a while. I had been missing him a lot. I had wondered what had happened to him. It was odd for him to stay away from me for a long while.
I sighed. I had almost stopped running, thinking about that.
I turned around, and noticed nothing was there.
I sighed. Maybe I was going crazy. I was so lost in my own little world, I didn't notice the obvious. The so, very obvious thing that I am basically slapping myself while writing this for not noticing.
There was a hole in the ground, a very big, deep, hole. Me, being the crazy dreamy girl I was back then, decided not to notice it, but instead walk straight into it.
I screamed as I fell down the very dark, long tunnel. Then, I just blacked out.
I quickly jerked up out of my bed. I had the same dream again. A weird monster chasing me, supposed 'memory's', and falling into a dark hole.
I sigh, and write it in my journal again. It was just a dream of course. I quickly slip out of my bed, and walked toward the closet. I had to get dressed for the day. The normal, boring day. My life was literally the worst. Boring Job, Boring House, Boring Town, Boring Everything!
The only thing interesting was my favorite TV show, Doctor Who. It was about this guy, The Doctor, who was an alien, more specifically a Timelord, and he traveled in a time machine disguised as a 1960's police box. He often had a companion with him, and he got into loads of trouble with them!
I has resolved on watching the episode 'Rose' again. It was one of my favorite episodes, considering I was an avid Rose and Doctor shipper. I grinned at the thought. That ship was always so cute!
I looked through my closet one more time, finally deciding on a black tank-top with a tardis blue sweater over it, a black skirt, tardis blue flats, a Doctor Who charm bracelet and a Doctor Who necklace.
I thought I pulled the outfit off pretty well. It probably helped that I had black hair with tardis blue tips. I really liked the colors blue and black if you hadn't noticed.
The weirdest part of me though, was my eyes. They were gold. Like, completely gold. I had always found that really odd, but didn't pay much attention to it. I was used to the weird stares when I first met people. I often just smirked when people looked confused.
I went to grab my remote off my desk, when I noticed a note.
Phoenix -
Pack your bags. We're moving. Be ready by tomorrow morning.
Mum
I sighed. We were always moving.
My mum was a 'Secret Agent' supposedly. I didn't believe it of course. She probably just didn't have a job. I really had no idea how we kept our apartments.
I started packing my stuff. My clothes, art supplies, Doctor Who stuff, this weird watch thing, my laptop, and then the essentials. In total, it ended up fitting into a suitcase and one backpack. I didn't have a ton of stuff like other people had.
I sat down on my bed, thinking. Wishing we didn't have to move again, just when I got friends. Wondering why I kept having the same dream. Wondering why life couldn't be simple like everyone else's.
I groaned, as I felt a headache coming on. All this thinking wasn't good for me I guessed.
I stood up, but deciding that wasn't a good decision, sat back down.
I groan again, as the headache became more like someone was pounding a sledge hammer against my head. It sucked that I was allergic to aspirin. Last time I had it, I almost died! Luckily we got to the hospital in time.
I layed down on the bed, still holding the suitcase and having on the backpack. I just stared at the ceiling, well actually, David Tennant's eyes. Yes, I had a poster of The Doctor on my ceiling. Have a problem with it?
The pain in my head became worse and worse, until it felt like one thousand drums were pounding inside of my head. My grip tightened on my suitcase. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to hold in the pain.
But it was too much, and I let out a scream.
It suddenly felt like my body was being pulled in a million different directions, and it hurt. It felt like my limbs were being torn apart, my bones being crushed. I couldn't take it anymore, and I started sobbing and screaming. My GOD it hurt.
Just then, my eyes were filled with a brilliant golden light, similar to the color of my eyes. It felt… warm. Homey sort of. Like I belonged in it. I had stopped screaming, but I was still sobbing. Then, everything went black.
For the second time that day, I jerked up. This time, I wasn't on my bed. I was on the concrete, in the middle of London.
I quickly stand up, and look around. There were many people all around me, so I couldn't get a good view, but I saw a lot of tall buildings, and a red bus, and something blue out of the corner of my eye.
I made sure I still had my backpack and suitcase with me, which I did, before turning to the direction I saw the bit of blue. And then I gasped. The Tardis. THE TARDIS!
My hands flew up to my mouth, letting go of my suitcase, and it landing on a strangers foot.
"Oi! Watch it!" He yelled at me.
"Oh my gosh, sorry sir!" I apologize, and pick my suitcase up, then turn back to the blue box.
Slowly walking toward it, I could start to feel it's presence. Sort of like it was in my mind. I started to stroke the door, and the ship hummed. No mistaking it now, it was defiantly real.
But I thought The Doctor and The Tardis were fake… right?
I slowly open the door, peeking inside to see if anyone was in.
I gasped and stepped through the doors as I noticed the insides. It really was bigger on the inside!
Again, my hand flew up to my mouth, and my suitcase dropped to the floor, yet this time it didn't hit anyone.
After a minute of staring, I ran right to the console. No mistaking it, this was 10's Tardis. Or maybe 9's. They looked the same after all.
I stroked the console, grinning as I did so. I had always wanted to do that. The Tardis hummed as I did that, earning a smile from me. Defiantly real. What I had failed to notice, was the 10th Doctor walking into the doors of the Tardis, and smiling when he noticed me.
He watched a few moments, before almost shouting, "Hey Phoenix!" It made me jump a mile high.
I slowly turned toward the 10th doctor, gawking at him. "You didn't have to shout so loud ya know." I mention, finally grinning.
He grins back. "You wouldn't have noticed me otherwise…" He says, smirking.
I just roll my eyes. Then it dawned on me. He knew me. He knew me.
I go back to gawking at him.
After a while he stares at me weirdly, and asks, "What are you doing? Your acting weird."
I just stare at him. Yep, defiantly knew me. It freaked me out a bit, but I was gonna hold that for my 'freak out later' list. "You forgot something." I say casually, making sure none of my freaking-out came into my voice.
He tilts his head sideways slightly, and asks, "What did I forget? I don't normally forget things."
I just grin, and sit on the console. "You forgot to ask what number this is." I mention.
He looks like I had just dropped a piano on him or something. "Right then, what number is it?" He mumbles, snapping out of his daze.
I just smirk, and whisper, "First."
It takes him a second to register that, and he whips his head around, looking at me wide eyed. I'm just sitting on the console, smirking my head off.
"First… but you… how… what?" He said, looking back and forth between me and the console.
I grin and say, "the Tardis let me in, firstly, and secondly I know how this works. Time vortex inside me, dragging me to different parts of your timeline.. blah blah blah." I saw a ghost of a smile on his face.
Then it started again. The headache. I let it get a little louder before casually saying, "Bye Doctor." He whirls around, and sees me glowing.
He looks sad, like as if his best friend died. That's probably what happened sort of, when he learned I wasn't the Phoenix he knew.
I smile softly at him as the golden light covers my vision. And everything went black again.
