Snowy Beginnings.
I do not own Doctor Who, it's owned by BBC. All I own is my words and my made up characters.
I'm new to the whole posting fan fictions online so I would love to get reviews.
The smell of French Fries filled the air on the trolley in downtown London from one small little bag in a small child's hand. The weather nipped at everyone's noses and ears, Christmas in London was well underway. Lights had been strung, trees hanged, bells and carolers sing through the air.
"Happy Holidays Miss." The trolley drive with a tip of his hat and a wiggly of his nose. He was fat and had a white beard, children where certain he was the big jolly man in red. The girl he was talking to only nodded in reply as she boarded the bright red trolley, she was not one to talk to other. Though it seemed more she really couldn't.
Beyond this madness and blue box appeared out of some strange magic as humans would say on a simple street that very day and a curious clever man stepped as if he was certain something was to spark this very evening.
The night was young as the music twirled the couples around the room in a giant waltz and the food stayed fresh on the table. Everyone seemed as if they were in a trance, step one step two, step one step two. A constant beat of all the people. A girl in a pure white dress cut off just above the knees, it wasn't a winter dress nor a summer, it was right in between. Black boots on her feet and a simple red ribbon tied on her wrist. She wore a long necklace that held a bird cage at the end of it. Long pale locks of hair came down past her waste, choppy and messy at the top as it flowed neatly into the long strands that fell over her snow white shoulders. Cold blue eyes ran across the room as if trying to examine everything.
"Now what's a pretty girl like you standing here all alone? Shouldn't you be dancing like everyone else?" A man ask with a sideways smile and a sparkle in his eye as if he'd just found a new toy. Her face didn't flinch much less even smile it just stayed at a constant like a dolls face. Clear blue eyes traced over him as if she was undressing him with her eyes looking for some reasoning on him to be suspicious of him. She found him interesting though. A simple black and white suit with dark brown shaggy spiked hair and the eyes of chocolate that held a gleam as if he'd seen the universe from every corner. "Why would it be of your concern of if I'm dancing or not?" She inquired back, not in a cruel tone but in a matter of fact. He held a bit of a pouted look on his face for a moment as he watched people finally leave the dance floor to rest. Slowly another song arose into the air. The moonlight sonata dancing without anyone to dance with. The dark haired man grabbed the girls hand.
"Well then you shall dance with me." He said with another smile as he lead her to the dance floor. She followed sheepishly as if she was nothing more than a doll. Slowly the started into a waltz and soon without realizing the songs changed. "This is not your home planet is it?" He asked directly.
"You shouldn't ask a girl something so absurd without asking her name or giving your own ." She said bluntly.
"Feisty." He said with a bit of playfulness behind his breath. "I'm The Doctor, and you are?"
"The Doctor? Doctor who?"
"Just The Doctor."
The girls eyes wonder onto an older man who had entered the room. Quickly couples fled to the dance floor and began to dance. They blocked her view but she knew exactly where the man was and what he was doing. She let go of The Doctor's hand and step back. "I have an associate to talk with pardon." She said with a bow as she headed through the crowed of people and disappearing. Somehow though his eyes kept on her, every last moment she spent talking with the older man from the fake smiles and the slip of poison into his drink. Soon she had bid the man farewell and disappeared out onto a balcony of the old mans great estate. "You do realize you just killed on man?" He inquired her as she stood there staring up at all the bight stars in the sky. "Does it matter. He'll die happy, he's surrounded by many of his kind who respect him as their leader, no matter how many humans died by their hands under his rule." She said looking over her shoulder at him. "Also you must have a very sharp eye for detail to notice I did anything of the sort."
The Doctor stared at her as if she had just done the most horrid thing in the milky way. Somehow though he felt like she really didn't want to kill the man. "You never told me your name or your home planet." He said hoping it would give him reasoning not to be angry.
"Alice, Alice Down. Home planet is Earth. What did you think I was an alien?" "No you are one, I'm not an idiot." "Nope just a clever one, correct?"
He smiled that was the quickest reply he's ever gotten from her and one that seemed like it was actually her speaking and not a mask.
The girls eyes followed back into the dance hall as a scream was let out and the old man laid out on the floor. He was suffering from a heart attack one that he could not survive from no matter how hard the tried. A tear let out from the side of her eye and she quickly erased it with her hand."Ah there is my que to leave this place." The girl said disappearing into the night.
"Ah." The Doctor said just after she left. He found this girl very interesting. He felt like perusing her more than ever.
It was evening the next day and the news had covered the death of the man who died. A famous Politian they said. Alice didn't care he was on the list and that's all that mattered. She hung up a shining orb onto her giant pine tree that was already decorated with golds, reds, and greens. "There we go." She said smiling to herself as she watched the tree sparkle. "Oh so you can smile." A mans voice said cutting though. Just as quickly she had already thrown a warning shot with a knife. The Doctor stood there unfazed yet shaking on the inside with fear. Her eyes looked at him with a killing intent but her could see it wasn't real, it was only a way of protection. "This house is rather old and no one pays any mind to it. There is no pictures, not even upstairs. Where are your parents? I mean you have to be no more than what 17 or 18?" He said as he walked over to her with a smile. She didn't say a thing till he touched her forehead and she flinched back onto her tree. "Why does it matter to you? I make my living and that's all needed." She said in a defensively toned voice. "Plus I'm old enough to take care of myself."
"Oh really how old?" He ask placing his forehead on hers staring straight into her eyes.
This was the first person who actually sent chills down her spine. She was so use to sending this waves towards other she completely forgot how it felt to feel this way, frightened. "For me to know and for you to leave." She said not backing down no matter how frighten she might be. She pulled another knife from the side of her sock and placed it close to her arm. "Why do you have so many knifes on you my god." He said as he back away.
Suddenly a loud boom shook the large household and the two fell over on top of each other.
"Moving a little too fast don't you think." The Doctor said with a wink of his eye as he looked down at her. He then quickly got up and looked around the event was interesting to him.
"Does that happen often around here, A big boom, falling and so on?" He asked helping Alice up off the floor. She dusted off her teal and black striped sweater dress and ignored him. She walked outside and looked up into the sky. "Alien battle ships, not very common in England. Thanks for asking." She said pointing up at the sky as snow flakes began to fall from the bottom of the air ship. It was quite queer snow from the bottom of a ship.
"Well then lets find out why they're visiting Earth with such a bang then." The Doctor said with a skipping step as he grabbed Alice's arm and drug her along for a new adventure.
