Charlie ran into the TARDIS, and slammed the door right behind her. The girl was out of breath, as if she was running for her life. After a few minutes, she set her backpack down and fell into a chair, waiting for the Doctor. For her first adventure, this one didn't turn out so well.
The Doctor came rushing in, just like Charlie, locking the door behind him. "Remind me to never come here again." He gasped.
"Why?"
"Well, everything seemed to be going well when I told the royal guard of Qwertious that you didn't mean to tackle the Queen." The Doctor said.
"Right, I just tripped because I neglected my dangling shoelace. Wait, if you told them what happened, why are you in here looking like you stole something?" Charlie got up.
"Yes, well, after apologizing, we had a few laughs and that's…when I…accidentally…broke the urn which held the ashes of the Queen's grandmother. Apparently, that's considered treason. They changed the laws since the last time I came here." The Doctor sighed. "Where do you want to go now? Ooh, I'm hungry. Are you hungry, Charlie? I could go for something edible."
"I feel a little hungry. Are there any restaurants in the universe?"
"Thousands, but I have just the one and…" Charlie ignored the Doctor ramblings as she reached into her backpack and pulled out a hairpin shaped of a blue lily.
"Hey, Doctor, look what I bought at the market." Charlie stuck out her hand, holding the pin, but the Doctor kept talking to himself, thinking others were listening. Charlie shrugged and placed the pin in her hair, keeping her bangs out of her face.
The truth…a voice whispered inside the TARDIS, capturing the Doctor's attention.
"Did you say something, Charlotte?" The Doctor turned to her, all he got was her shaking her head.
The truth…
"There it is again!"
"What? Charlie asked.
"I keep hearing a voice."
"Maybe it's your stomach telling you let's go to that restaurant already!" Charlie patted the Doctor's shoulder and smiled.
The Doctor smiled back and pulled the lever. Nothing. "What?" The Doctor pulled the lever up and down. Up and down. Still nothing. "The TARDIS! It's stalled." He pressed random buttons and became frantic.
"What?" Charlie looked over his shoulder, "Everything looks normal to me."
"Well, that's because you're human. Something is wrong here. I'm going down below, on my signal, pull the lever." The Doctor instructed as he jumped beneath the console.
Charlie stood and waited to hear the Doctor's command. She sighed and quietly hummed to herself, feeling bored as ever. "Any day now." She muttered to herself.
Charlotte…the same voice whispered.
Charlie heard her the faint sound of her name and turned around. Standing across from her was a man a foot taller than her, eyes of jade, dressed in a sharp, black suit, but completely covered in blood. From head to toe. A horrified look came onto Charlie's face as she saw him.
"Okay, Charlie, let her rip!" The Doctor hollered. He paused for a minute to think about what he said, "I'm never saying that again." A bloodcurdling scream came from above, sending the Doctor into action, "Charlotte!" He hopped up to the console and found Charlotte, out cold on the floor. "No, no, no. Charlotte? Charlotte?" He placed her head in his lap. He pulled out his sonic and scanned her, but at the time, a trail of blood began to descend from Charlie's nose.
