Hi before you start know that I only own my imagination and my OC this is a fan in the whoniverse fic that I really hope you like.
I am lost, I am lost in this never-ending tunnel of colours and sounds, and sometimes I hear screams, sometimes laughter, sometimes from joy, sometimes from suffering. I am alone, there is no one next to me, there is nothing but cold and yet sometimes I feel like the whole universe is around me streaming and twisting, changing, moving and standing still, swirling, spreading, exploding like Van Gogh´s Starry Night painting.
I felt nothing when I fell, when the universe stopped streaming around me I only saw what I thought to be the end of the road, which oddly enough looked like a pool, or what I thought was a pool with the oddest shape I had ever seen and with the clearest water I have ever seen the bottom of the pool was the deepest blue, just the colour of the sky a second before it goes completely dark, the moment when people debate if it´s blue or black, yet I was able to make the distinction. I was enthralled by the colour when I realized, I was about to crash in that same pool, and at the speed I was moving the water would be like cement against my body, the thing is I could not find it in myself to panic, I was not scared of an imminent death, but when it happened when I finished my journey, when I fell in that dark pool, nothing happened, it was as if I had fallen from the edge of it with no more acceleration than the one provided by gravity.
The water was warm, yet it brought me back to my senses, which were lost as I travelled, as if it were full of ice, it took me a second to realize that I was in fact underwater and my lungs in need of air, a foreign sensation as where all others, my muscles where stiff and uncooperative with my desires, I hardly managed with great difficulty I pull myself out of the water body, that left me beyond exhausted I grasped for air in hard breaths.
Then with no warning whatsoever a blinding pain ran through my back and I was forced to turn so I ended resting on my belly in a desperate attempt to lessen the pain that came from two spots, the ones located just between my shoulder blades, once more I never found it in me to scream I could only gasp and small pained whines left my lips. The pain only got worse, trying to stand I managed to get on my knees and elbows, that rest assured was not good to my current predicament, I felt something pushing out from under my skin and then when I thought I would pass out from the strain my skin broke, this time I screamed, and after that first scream I never stopped. In the middle of my misery I still could feel this things coming out from my back growing, bigger and bigger, the increasing weight kept me in the ground.
For what seemed like an eternity all I could hear was my screams and cracking bones, it went on and on, when what I supposed where bones sprouting from my back stopped growing a burning sensation ran through the skin surrounding the new appendages, and it continued its way through the appendages themselves, after that the pain lessened bit by bit, it became more of a numbness that slowly faded away just as my voice did.
During my torment I was not allowed to pass out, and by a sudden shock of energy that shot through my body apparently I would not be able to rest after it either. I found that even when I was making no noise anymore the room I was in was not totally silent, there was a humming, a constant humming, like that of an engine.
When I was able to collect myself I opened my eyes not remembering when I closed them. The light in the room was warm, dim enough to take a comfy nap yet bright enough to read if desired. I achieved with lots of difficulties to stand from the floor, not without falling several times trying to gain my balance which was harder than expected due to the added weight to my back.
Once standing I looked at the room around me, it was a library, the most huge and magnificent library I had ever seen, the weirdest one too, because never before I had seen a pool in a library, I remembered hearing of one in Doctor Who?, they never actually showed it in the show, I mean I had seen the library in "The Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS", but the pool wasn´t there anymore.
I tied walking, I stumbled more times than I can actually count, but in the end I managed to find the equilibrium necessary to walk normally.
As I moved around a bit I read the titles in the books, most of them were history books, the library was several floors tall the first one labelled "Earth History", up the staircase I found no more labels as I reached the seventh and last floor, I found a huge opened book in a quite elegant desk, this of course caught my curiosity, next to the book laid a beautiful sharp metal engraved pointed quill it stood beside an exquisitely patterned inkwell, leaning on the book, I found it was not written in English as the other books I had found, but written in a language I knew well how to read, the only language... then immediately all clicked and the puzzle of my location was rapidly solved. The book... the book was written by hand, it was written in Gallifreyan, the only language the TARDIS does not translate, the TARDIS the only place where a library this big would have a pool just in the middle of everything, the numbers in the ails were not just for classification they were dates!
I remained shocked for longer than a minute, then I closed the book with my finger in the page it was left opened, the title read "The History Of The Time War" sadness filled my heart, and suddenly I could not stand to look at the book, and what it meant for the one who wrote it. I left the book as I found it, turned my back and walked away I descended to the first floor.
Watching the pool where I landed the new weight on my back came forth to the front of my mind, I had suppressed the thought the first time it came by exploring around, but I knew it would no go ignored forever. I still had not mustered the courage to look at what had made its place out from my back, deciding to deal with it sooner rather than later I said to myself "It only takes 20 seconds of courage." So confident in my intents I looked over my shoulder.
A/N: hey there! Nice cliffie don´t you think, yeah well I liked it, we all know what is in my OC´s back don´t we? But tell me what do you think should the character be male or female? This is a Doctor/OC and I go for romantic. But I want to read what you think, please review, and I accept name suggestions for this OC and anything you want to add is cool. I promise that I will post next chapter before the month is over, but please review, you´ll help loads to the faster release of future chaps. Thanks beforehand to those who are up to lending me a hand.
