The Doctor's Apprentice

Middle-Earth's Child

Chapter 1: The Doctor

It all began very long time ago; longer than anyone would remember. But there is one man who remembers it all. Nobody knows his name, but he calls himself the Doctor. He is the only remaining Time Lord. He has seen things some cannot even imagine. And he was here, on the day I was born. He waited outside of the hospital, waiting for me and my parents to come out. He stood by the side and looked at us, thinking about my future. I saw him, but I don't remember him. He told me this. Now, let's continue our story, shall we?

The day I met the Doctor... Let me think about it... Oh, yes! It was night. The stars were shining bright, and the Moon was full. I was sitting on the balcony, when I heard the buzzling sound. I knew that sound. I could recognise is anywhere. It was the sound of the TARDIS- the Doctor's time machine. I looked around, desperate to find it, to see it. And I saw it. It just stood there, in front of me, around 10ft further than me. The door opened, and the Doctor came out. He was quite a tall man, slim, with a messy hair and a bowtie and fez on his head. Like he was in a rush, he said :"Oh, come on, hurry up! We're going to be late!"

"Late for what?" I asked.

"Oh, for goodness sake, just come! We will be late for coronation of king Aragorn!"

He didn't need to tell me twice. I was already running into the TARDIS. All I took was my mobile phone.

Buzzing started as I entered the TARDIS. The Blue Box, as people used to call it, was bigger on the inside.

"I always wanted to say this: It is bigger on the inside!"

The doctor just smiled. "Yes, yes it is."
