Planet Earth, the planet of a little race, a race that is only beginning to evolve, they are called humans, they are the babies of the Universe. The problem with this race is that they always think that they know everything. They believe that they are alone in this hole Universe and that all revolves around them but they don't know how wrong they are and how little their existence is in this hole world. My name is Ashley Stewart and I am going to tell you all about my adventures. It all started in England, London, one Monday morning .
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"
" Oh my God! Crazy alarm clock! Ugh it's 6 am already..." I say as I get out of bed. am not a morning person, I never was.
" Honey! It's 6 you're going to be late! And it's the 3rd job you are going to lose this month if you are late again! Hurry up, breakfast is ready for you!" yells my mom from the kitchen.
"Coming, mom! Let me get dressed, I'll grab some toast I am not awfully hungry and I am terribly late." I yell back and go to the wardrobe. I take a pair of blue jeans, a dark blue v-neck sweater and put on my blue Converse. I get to the kitchen, grab my toast, kiss my mom and run out the door.
" Have a good day, honey! Don't forget I leave at 8 for Australia! I'll be back in a month, don't destroy the house." my mom yelled at me as I closed the door.
She often left to participate at some medical congresses, her being a doctor and such. My father was never really home and when he was I didn't really pay attention to him we aren't on good terms since I chose to go to Physics University and not to Med school. He refused to pay for my studies so I have to work the day and study at night.
I run to the bus station and wait for my bus. It should come in a few minutes. It finally comes, I hop on and in 5 minutes I get to the cafe I work. It's a corner Starbucks nothing to fancy but it pays well. This morning something is not right...even though it was almost 8 o'clock there was no one in. Not even my colleagues, it was deserted and a awful smell hung in the air...the smell of rotten flesh. As I walk further to the counter I see Mark, my boss, on the floor, dead and a sort of beast chewing on his right hand. I stare in shock at the awful sight, my stomach lurching, wanting to get rid of its contents. Suddenly the beast turns and at this moment I know it cannot be from Earth, it had huge teeth, a vicious glare and deadly claws. It roars at me and leaps to catch me, I scream and duck under the counter. I jump over the counter and run out back through all the cartons of milk, coffee beans and other. I need to find a phone, to call the police, to call anyone, I am in desperate need of help. I hear the beast screeching and running towards me. It is so fast, I know I couldn't get out of here alive. I get to a dead end and press myself to a wall, I am going to die an awful death, eaten alive by some sort of alien, what will my mom do, my dad? When will they notice I am missing? Will they find a body or will I be completely devoured, lost forever...?
Suddenly I feel a warm hand grip mine and pull me aside, the ugly creature slamming it's head against the wall. I look at the man that saved me, he is young, probably mid twenties, he is wearing trousers, a black shirt, a pinstriped jacket and a light brown coat. He looks kind of cute but it is not the time to be checking out guys. He looks at me, grins and tells me just one word: "Run!".
We start sprinting to the back exit but as we reach it we notice it's locked. I look back and see the thing running at us, I start pulling harder on the door wanting to escape, I don't want to die before I am 21 years old. The man next to me pulls a blue thing resembling a pen and flashes it at the door, opening it. We run outside, close and lock the door just before the creature could grab us.
" Erm, hello...! Thank you for saving me there, without you I would have been long dead. I am Ashley Stewart and you are?" I ask with a blush on my face.
"Hello! I am the Doctor!" he says with a smile.
"Pardon my language but what the hell was that thing? It's clear to me that it was not from Earth. Oh and Doctor Who?"
" Just the Doctor. And no it was not from Earth, it was alien, they are called Sycorax . The last Prime Minister pulverized their ship but this one escaped and unfortunately it regressed in his solitude and gone mad."
" Oh God! Poor thing it may have attacked me but he is so lonely and he wants revenge on what we had done to him and his race. What do we do? We can't keep him locked in the cafe forever, he will get out and as much as I pity him we cannot let him kill more people. How can we stop him?"
"First things first. I need to get something from my vehicle. Come on it's just around the corner it won't take long."
" What was the blue pen thing you used to open the back door, Doctor? Is it a multifunctional key? What do you need to take from your car? I hope it's not a weapon, I hate weapons they only lead to more destruction." I say really fast as we turn left to get to his car.
" Wow, slow down. I'll answer in order. The blue pen is my sonic screwdriver, you can cal it a multifunctional tool because it does more than open doors. It's not really a car you will see and I need a molecular prison. It's not a weapon it's like a cage that shrinks it's prisoner to pocket size. And this is my lovely ship."
" A wooden blue box? Perfect from all the people on this planet I get stuck in an alien situation with a lunatic!"
He enters the box and leaves me alone on the sidewalk so I stuck my head through the door. It is amazing. It is bigger on the inside, it defies every law of physics and it is fantastic! It is definitely not human technology, it is so alien , so beautiful, I could not keep my eyes away from it.
"What is this? This ship of yours? I know it's alien but what does it do? And it's bigger on the inside!How is it possible?"
" This is a TARDIS short for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Basically it travels through time and space, so it's a time machine. And the Police box is just a disguise that's why it is bigger on the inside."
" Okay I think I got it. Anyway get your cage thingy and let's catch an alien"
As we arrive at the cafe we could roaring and screeching sounds through the back door. I thank God that it didn't brake loose. We open the door and get in silently the Sycorax was still eating from my boss so it didn't hear us till it was too late. The Doctor captured him in the cage and now it was a 3 inch monster in a cube, it looks harmless in pocket form.
" So this is it Doctor? We did it we caught the Sycorax. So what now?" I say not really ready to say goodbye to the Doctor and waiting for the Doctor to reply.
"Well yeah, that's pretty much it." he says as i bow my head and nod sadly.
" That is unless you want to come with me. To travel the whole Universe through time and space. So what do you chose?" I grin from ear to ear and look him in the eyes.
" I will come with you there is no way I am letting this chance slip!"
He smiles at my comment but it does not reach his eyes...his eyes are always sad...lonely...like it had seen all the disasters of the Universe and lost all that is close to him. Such a lonely man, such a lonely angel...
Well this is the first chapter. I think it is pretty good but I will leave you to comment on it. I have to say that my SH is in a bit of hiatus because I have so many ideas with this one that I can't write anything else.
