The book thief was on the 74th page of her book when she heard the sound.
*A description*
The sound was something that did not
seem to belong in this world. It was
beautiful yet eerie.
Liesel did not know if she should be scared or excited. I watched her face twitch as a big blue box appeared in the basement. She could not believe what she was seeing. How could something just appear?
I thought the blue box was familiar until a man stepped out of it. He was wearing a long coat which was surreal. I knew this man. I've seen him in so many places. He had cheated me for so long and the chances of me carrying his soul is too thin.
"Who are you?" Liesel asked him.
"I'm sorry, what year is it?" The guy asked her.
"1943."
"I almost thought I was in the wrong date. I need to fix that glitch later." The man was talking to himself. Liesel did not know who the guy was but there was something weird about him.
"Who are you?" Liesel asked once more.
"I'm the Doctor." He grinned at her.
"Doctor? But I'm not sick, why would there be a doctor in the basement? Did mama send you?"
The Doctor knelt in front of her. "You will be if I'm not here. Worse than sick."
Liesel did not know what was worse than being sick and then she remembered her brother, freezing and being buried to the ground, and she knew what was worse.
"Come on, Liesel. Let's enter the blue box." He said with a wink.
"Why?"
"Because we will be good friends someday."
Liesel did not see the answer's realation to her question but Liesel found herself following the man, entering the blue box and the sight shocked her that she made a squeaking sound.
"It's bigger in the inside." She said loudly, clutching her book. "Mama needs to see, and Papa," she tried to go out but the doctor stopped her.
"They need to see."
"Later."
Liesel walked around, trying to take in everything. There were lights and moving things which she did not know the purpose of.
An explosion was heard. She saw the doctor close his eyes. When he opened it, he smiled at her but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"You're safe now, Liesel." The doctor stared at her. He didn't seem afraid. In fact, he looked more hurt than afraid. "Step outside, Liesel."
Liesel did and she realized there was nothing left. Was this the basement she left a minute or two ago? That, Liesel did not know.
"What happened here, Doctor?"
The Doctor found himself lost for words. "You will know when you walk around Liesel."
She walked and she heard the eerie sound again. She looked back and the blue box had disappeared. She ran the the place where it stood and realized that it was indeed gone.
Liesel walked as I carried the souls of the dead bodies. Liesel felt betrayed, she was running, hoping to find something but she only had her book in the wretched Himmel Street.
Meanwhile, the Doctor was in his TARDIS and had to mutter to himself, "See you soon, my Liesel Meminger."
