The Lighthouse of Time
Disclaimer:I do not own anything of Doctor Who. Though the lighthouse of time is my own creation.
He was running,running faster than he was a few minutes ago. But the mud and the puddles still slowed him down. To make matters even worst, it was a lighting storm. It was brutal and striking all around the field. Yet, he kept on running. This man had no fear of dying,but, he knew he didn't want it to be today. He spotted a dirt road and hopped the fence to it. About a few yards away he spotted a young girl. About nineteen, wearing a red coat,she had brown hair down to her shoulders.
The man ran past a bike, "Must of been hers." he thought."Hey you!" he shouted to her. The girl turned around, she had green eyes and was absolutely beautiful. "Run!" he shouted at her."Just run!" Without thinking or saying a word the girl just ran. The man caught up with her,they were near a line of trees and a small cottage."Who are you?" she asked. " I'm the Doctor." he said proudly. "But...Doctor Who?" she asked again. "Just the Doctor." he said rushed.
" Just follow me and I'll explain later."
"But I must get home." she said looking toward the left.
"What's your name?" the Doctor asked her.
"Jane." she said calmly.
"I knew Jane once....well.... Sarah Jane was her name. Nice girl,brilliant girl." the Doctor rambled on. "Jane,how would you like to go on a trip?" the Doctor proposed to her. "I'm sorry,Doctor, but I really must get home." she said apologetic. "I can have you back before your missed." he guaranteed and he held out his hand toward her. She looked toward the left, she then looked at the Doctor. He smiled at her twitching his fingers about. She smiled back, took his hand and ran with him.
"How old are you?" the Doctor asked.
"Nineteen." Jane replied. " How old are you?" she asked in return. "Very old." said the Doctor thinking about his very very old age. "In face some would say ancient." Jane laughed at the remark, " Impossible. You don't look ancient." The Doctor replied, " Once your with me Jane, you start to believe in the impossible." Jane then wondered if she really should have gone with the Doctor.
They traveled near the forest line when they came to the great blue box. " What is that?" she asked puzzled. The Doctor leaned on the door, " This is my ship." Thinking about the impossible Jane asked, " But, shouldn't a ship be in the water?" " Some can and some do but my ship doesn't. Remember the word impossible." He then opened the door, "Ladies first."he gestured inside.
Jane waled through the doors amazed and shocked. "It's bigger on the inside!" she gasped. "Yeah,isn't it brilliant?!" the Doctor just as amazed as she was. Jane turned toward the Doctor and asked straightforward, " Are you a magician? Or some sort of wizard?"
"No, not at all,Jane."replied the Doctor who slightly chucked at the notion. " I'm a Time Lord. And this..." he said looking around, " This is the TARDIS!" he proclaimed to her. "Your a...a....Time Lord?" she stuttered, just the idea of a Lord of Time but her uneasy. " Yeah."said the Doctor excited. " It's great isn't it?" Jane walked around arms folded. " You are a Lord of Time?" she asked still very puzzled.
" Well..." he began. "That's my race, my species. I come from a planet of Time Lords. We can travel through of space and time. Sadly, I'm the last one of them. The rest of them and the planet were destroyed in a huge war. So this is a ship,yes,yes but it is a time machine as well." The Doctor then noticed that Jane looked a bit paler than usual. "Jane?" he said walking closer to her. "Is everything alright?" " Time Lord. Time machine." she said speech slurred, her eyes then closed as she fell to the floor. "Jane!" the Doctor shouted as her knelt down to grab her. " Jane,wake up!" He gently slapped her cheek at little to get her to wake up. He then thought for a moment, "This has never happened before...I think." He carried her and sat her down on a chair in the console room.
"Off we go!" he said to himself and to the non-awake Jane. "Doctor." she mumbled. He quickly turned, "That's it!" he said happily. She slowly stood up but the Doctor sat her back down,
" I wouldn't if I were you." he told her as he pulled on lever on the console."Why?"she asked still mumbling really not aware of her surroundings anymore. The TARDIS the suddenly jerked around as the engines churned. "That's why." the Doctor said holding onto the railing. "What's happening?" Jane asked startled and slightly more alert. " We are traveling through time. Moltobene!" shouted the Doctor as he ran around the TARDIS console pressing buttons and turning knobs. Jane sat in amazement watching this man she only knew for a few minutes.
She knew she would never forget this time in her life. The suddenly everything changed. The storm was still brewing and now, it was worst than ever. Lighting struck the top of the TARDIS just as it was dematerializing. "What!?" the Doctor shouted slamming his fists down on the controls. The TARDIS then violently shook and spun around the main room while the Doctor hugged the clear pillar in the TARDIS. "What's happening now,Doctor?" Jane asked shouting at him. "Lightning hit the TARDIS while we were leaving." explained the Doctor. "We are moving in time but were traveling too fast and moving too dangerously." "What's going to happen to us?" Jane asked,she was utterly terrified. The Doctor looker at her,she had fear in her eyes. Just like so many people before her. "I'm sorry."he began almost crying himself. "I'm so sorry." Jane started to cry,the Doctor looked around searching for hope. "Wait!" he said. The Doctor then shimmed over to a spot at the console. It was a small silver button. "That's it. Were going to be alright!" he said in amazement.
"What is it?" Jane asked puzzled but still scared. "This button."he pointed to it and looked straight at her. " It's going to save us. If it still works we'll be fine." "Well what are you waiting for,Doctor?"Press IT!!!"Jane shouted at the top of her lungs. The Doctor just smiled at her and pressed the button. Suddenly, everything around them went black,then to gold,then to pure white. There was no sound and you couldn't hear and see anything. Just pure white. Then they were back, "Did it work?" Jane asked confused. The Doctor looked at the computer monitor, "Oh yes!Yes it did." He swiveled it around and showed it to her. "It's a lighthouse."she said astonished but also trying to keep calm. "Not just any lighthouse." replied the Doctor. "It's the Lighthouse of Time."
