Chapter One: Introduction (Minky`s POV)
All I was doing was playing with my toys and the new screwdriver Daddy gave me in my room while everybody else was talking and screaming.
I saw something out of the corner of my eye move. The door shut by itself and I couldn't move or speak. I turned around quickly and told myself it would be alright... I was so, so wrong. When I looked back a Weeping Angel stared at me and poked me with a stone finger.
Don`t blink, Minky! I heard my Daddy saying to me.
It was too much and I felt my eyes growing heavier. I was extremely tired. Then suddenly blackness overtook my vision.
...*blink*...
Chapter Two: Landing (Minky`s POV)
I coughed from the clouds of dust everywhere and tried to stand up. My right arm gives out on me and my hearts were beating quicker than ever before.
"Run, little girl, run for your life...!" A woman said as she grabbed me by my hand, pulled me into an embrace, and ran off. When I struggled to open my eyes and breathe she instructed me to cover my mouth with my hands and keep my eyes shut. I didn`t listen to her – I opened my eyes and saw a HUGE cloud of dust about the size of a doubled tsunami coming for us.
"What`s happening...?" I croaked as I pointed towards it.
"Terrorist attack on the Twin Tower buildings... They`re falling down...!" I could tell she has been recently crying so I put my arm around her shoulders – "OW!" She yelped as she rolled her ankle and dropped me to the ground.
"Get up, please!" I tried to pull her but she was too strong. The dust rolled in closer, and closer, until it touched her foot and pulled her in. She waved at me with a smile.
"Run!" She coughed. Then, with a scream she was taken into the mist.
I ran as fast as I could. People were doing the same and dead kids and adults were behind me racing in the waves trying to grab us. I wish my Daddy was here with me, he would know what to do.
"Come on, little girl! Hold on!" A man said as his little boy held onto my hand. We turned into a line of three running from an unstoppable force that wants to devour us whole.
We ran as for a little while until we reached a spot about three minutes out of the city. By then the dust had started slowing but the items inside were still being thrown with every curve, and every bump.
"I think we are good now," The man said with a cough. "Now, little girl, what`s your name?"
"I cannot be here right now... I want to go home!" I cried out.
"Well where is 'home'? I could take you there, if you` d like."
"My name is Thomas," The little boy said.
"Hi Thomas," I giggled. "I think you can`t do that, bring me home... unless you have a TARDIS," I added under my breath.
"Unless I have a – what...? What did you say?"
"A really good car..." I fiddled with the sonic screwdriver in my coat pocket and made sure not to press the button.
"What`cha got there?" Thomas asked as he reached for my pocket.
"Nothing," I said quickly as I smacked his hand away.
"Oh, where are my manners?" The man said with a laugh. "My name is Samuel. Do you know where you are?"
"I... I heard someone say the Twin Towers. Other than that, I have no idea."
"Well, welcome to New York. Any questions...?" He asked with a frown. "And I still haven`t gotten your name."
"I... My name... My name is Minky." I sighed.
"Oh, Minky...? Is that like a nickname or something?" Samuel asked.
"Oh... um... yeah, you can say that."
An awkward pause came between the three of us.
"Where is your home?" Samuel then asked.
"I already answered, it isn`t even here." I leaved the spaceship bit out of my answer.
"Well if it isn`t 'here', where is it?" Thomas questioned.
"It`s just NOT HERE!" I screamed.
"Daddy, can she stay with us?" Thomas asked his apparent father.
"If it is okay with her – so, Minky, would you like to stay with us until we find you your way back? We have the room..."
