How to pronounce Taies's name. Ty-ees
Chapter One: Part One: Doctor Who?
I groaned as my alarm clock rudely woke me up from my slumber. I turned over to hit the snooze button, hoping to get in a few more minutes of sleep.
"Taies, get up! You've got a job to go to!" My aunt yelled into the room. I sighed. Looks like that's a no on getting a bit more sleep. I hated mornings. Like really really hated mornings. I reluctantly got up and trudge to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Before I made it to the bathroom I saw that my cousin Rose was almost ready. She looked over at me.
"You better hurry, or we'll be late." She advised, while smirking.
"Yeah, yeah." I mumbled tiredly. I showered as quickly as I could and got dressed when I was done. I quickly threw my hair up into a messy bun and grabbed a jacket. I made my way to the living room where Rose was waiting for me, and my Aunt Jackie was on the couch. I quickly gave my Aunt Jackie a kiss and Rose and I left. We caught the bus to work and our boring day began. The day seem to go by very slowly. Rose and I spent lunch with her boyfriend Mickey. We goofed around and just had a good time, unfortunately that had to end when Rose and I had to go back to work. I spent the rest of the day folding clothes and cleaning out the dressing rooms.
"This is a customer announcement. The store will be closing in five minutes." One of the workers announced over the intercom. I sighed in relief. Once it was time to leave Rose and I made our way to the doors to go home.
"Oi." The security guard said, shoving a plastic bag in my face. I groaned and grabbed the bag.
"I'll come with you." Rose offered.
"Thank you." I said gratefully. We quickly went to the lift and I pushed the button leading to the basement. As soon as the doors opened we rushed to the Chief Electrician Wilsons office, to give him his lottery money. The door was locked though.
"Wilson? Wilson, we've got the lottery money." I called out. We waited a moment but got no answer. "Wilson, are you there?" I called out again. Still no answer. I gave a questioning look to Rose, but she just shrugged her shoulders. "We can't hang about cos they're closing the shop." I shouted at the door. Yet again, no answer.
"Wilson! Oh come on!" Rose yelled, getting frustrated. We both froze when we heard a clattering noise a little ways down the corridor. "Hello? Hello, Wilson, it's Rose and Taies." Rose called out, starting to walk towards the source of the noise. "Hello? Wilson?" Rose called out again.
I grabbed her arm. "What are you doing?" I hissed. "You can't just go waltzing towards the suspicious noise!" I half whispered, half yelled.
Rose gave me a funny look. "Why not?" She asked confused.
"Because, that's how the first victim dies in scary movies." I pointed out.
She rolled her eyes. "It could've been Wilson."
I held up my pointer finger. "Or, it could be a mass murderer with a hook for a hand." I said ominously.
She snorted. "You've watched way to many horror movies." She accused while laughing.
"Maybe." I agreed, after a minute. I sighed when Rose grabbed my hand and dragged me along with her to where we heard the noise. We found a door. Entering it, we saw that it was a store room. I turned on the lights. There were boxes and dressed mannequins crowding the room. We went further into the room looking for Wilson. We both jumped when the door slammed shut. Rose and I looked at each other and ran back to the door. We both tried opening it but it wouldn't open. "You've got to be kidding me!" I yelled out in frustration. We quickly turned around when we heard a noise behind us. Rose once again went towards the suspicious noise. What is with this girl? I sighed but followed her anyways.
Is that someone mucking about? Who is it?" Rose yelled out.
"Yes Rose, because the crazy psychotic killer is gonna answer back. 'Yeah, over here making a sandwich, ya want one?' " I said sarcastically. She shot me a dirty look. I turned around when I heard a small squeaking noise. "Rose." I whispered loud enough for her to hear. She turned around to see what I was seeing. One of the mannequins was starting to approach us. I started to push Rose backwards. "Yeah, you got us. Very funny." I said, stuttering slightly. Two more mannequins started to approach us behind the first one.
"Right, we've got the joke. Who's idea was this? Is it Derek's? Is it? Derek is this you?" Rose said with fear lacing her voice.
"I don't think it's Derek Rose. He's not smart enough to pull this off." I reminded her. More shop window mannequins started to move towards us, backing Rose and I into the wall. I grabbed Rose's hand and squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the impact. The only thing that came was a hand grabbing mine. I looked up to see a man.
"Run." He said, pulling Rose and I along with him. The mannequins right behind us. We made it to a lift and quickly piled in. The man quickly hit the button to close the doors. They were almost closed when the head mannequin stuck his arm through. The man started to yank it until it popped off. I gasped.
"You pulled his arm off." Rose said with a disgusted look on her face.
"Yep." He replied casually, throwing the arm to Rose. "Plastic." He clarified. Rose gasped as she caught it.
"Very clever. Nice trick. Who are they then, students? Is this a student thing or what?" She demanded to know.
"I doubt they're students Rose." I mumbled. They both heard me though. Rose huffed and the man smirked at me. He then turned to Rose with his arms crossed.
"Why would they be students?" He asked her.
"I don't know." Rose said a little confused.
"Well you said it. Why students?" He pressed.
"Cause, to get that many people dressed up and being silly. They got to be students." She explained. He just nodded his head and turned to me.
"You don't think they're students?" He asked me.
"No." I answered.
"Well why not?" He asked.
Well, because who would go that far in a silly little prank? I mean, who in their right mind would stick their arm through closing elevator doors?" I explained. He nodded his head and turned back towards the doors.
"You both have good points." He praised.
"Thanks." Rose and I said simultaneously.
"They're not students." He said looking up.
"Whoever they are, when Wilson finds them, he's gonna call the police." Rose stated matter of factly.
"Who's Wilson?" He asked turning back towards us.
"Chief Electrician." I stated.
"Wilson's dead." He said carelessly, giving us a sideways glance. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach.
"Those plastic things... Did they..." I asked, not being able to complete my sentence. He gave me a sympathetic look.
"Yes, I'm sorry." He said sincerely. I felt tears prick my eyes and, felt a lump starting to form in my throat. I was pretty close with Wilson. He was such a nice man. The doors finally opened and Rose went on a mini rampage.
"That's not funny! That's sick!" She spat. He ignored her.
"Hold on. mind your eyes." He warned backing us up. He pulled out some little device thing and did something to the elevator controls to make them spark.
"I've had enough of this now!" Rose yelled. He just ignored her though and ran down the corridor. Rose and I immediately followed. "Who are you then? Who's that lot down there?" She demanded to know. He continued to ignore her though and kept walking. This made her really angry. "I said who are they?" She yelled, extremely frustrated now. He looked at me.
"Is she always this hostile and pushy?" He asked.
"Oh yeah." I said, nodding my head.
"They're made of plastic. Living plastic creatures. They're being controlled by a relay device in the roof, which would be a great big problem if I didn't have this." He said, pulling out a small bomb and showed it to us. We made it to an exit door and he pushed it open for us to get out. "So I'm going to go up there and blow them up, and I might well die in the process, but don't worry about me. No, you two go home. Go on. Go and have your lovely beans on toast. Don't tell anyone about this, because if you do, you'll get them killed." He warned us, then closed the door. Rose and I looked at each other.
"Did that really just happen?" I asked Rose, not really wanting to believe that, that just occurred.
"I think so." She mumbled. We were startled when the door suddenly opened.
"I'm the Doctor by the way. What's your names?" The man now known as the Doctor asked.
"Taies and Rose." I said a bit confused.
"Nice to meet you,Taies and Rose. Run for your lives." He said, waving the bomb at us. He went back inside leaving us by ourselves in the alley again. Rose and I stood there for a minute, until I grabbed her hand and started running. We made our way to the main road, fearing that the mannequins might find us. We ran across the road not paying attention to the black taxi cab approaching us. Right before he hit us, the taxi driver slammed on his breaks.
"Watch it!" He yelled at us. We ignored him and ran to the sidewalk. We stopped and turned around to face the department store. Rose and I both jumped when the department stores roof blew up, along with the upper floors. Rose and I ran away from the scene. I stopped though when I saw a strange blue box. It had 'Police Public Call Box' written on it. I slowly went towards it. I've never seen anything like it.
"Taies, come on!" Rose yelled, breaking me out of my trance. I ran to her, temporarily forgetting about the strange blue box. We quickly made it back to the flat where the news about the department store was on and Aunt Jackie bombarded us with questions and was in hysterics. After a few minutes of questions the phone rang and Aunt Jackie immediately went to answer it.
"I know. It's on the telly. It's everywhere. They're lucky to be alive. Honestly it's aged them. Skins like an old bible. Walking in now you'd think I was Rose's daughter and Taies's niece. Oh and here's himself." Aunt Jackie said pointing to Mickey. Mickey sat down between Rose and I. He hugged Rose and then hugged me.
"I've been phoning your mobiles. You both could've been dead. It's on the news and everything. I can't believe your shop went up!" He exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"We're alright, honestly, we're fine. Don't make a fuss. I assured him.
"Well what happened?" He asked.
"We don't know." I said, lying through my teeth.
"What was it though? What happened? He asked again.
"We weren't in the shop. We were outside. We didn't see anything." Rose said, also lying through her teeth. Aunt Jackie interrupted us.
"It's Debbie on the end. She knows a man on the mirror. Five hundred quid for an interview.
"Oh that's brilliant! Give it here." Rose said in mock excitement. Aunt Jackie handed her the phone and Rose ended the call. Aunt Jackie sighed.
"Well you two have got to find some way of making money. Your jobs kaput and I'm not bailing you two out." She said pointedly. The telephone rang and Aunt Jackie quickly answered it. "Beth! They're alive. I've told them, sue for compensation. They were within seconds of death." She ranted to Beth. Mickey looked down at our drinks.
"What're'ya drinking, tea? Nah, nah, that's no good, that's no good. You're both in shock. You two need something stronger." He insisted.
"We're alright." I assured him.
"Now come on, you both deserve a proper drink. We're going down to the pub, us three. My treat. How about it?" He insisted again, trying to pull us off the couch. Rose and I smirked.
"Is there a match on?" Rose asked playfully.
"No, I'm just thinking about you two." He defended. I laughed.
"There's a match on, ain't there." I said knowingly. Mickey pouted.
"That's not the point, but we could catch the last five minutes." He offered. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Go on, then. We're fine, really. Go. Get rid of that." Rose said pointing to the plastic arm from earlier. I didn't even know she brought that with her. Mickey gave Rose and I a kiss and picked up the arm. We said goodbye to him after he said goodbye to us. Once he got to the door, he turned around and pretended to be strangled by the arm. Rose and I laughed.
"Goodbye Mickey." I said, still laughing. He laughed and then left. After Mickey left I finished my tea, then went to Rose and I's shared bedroom. I said goodnight to Rose and Aunt Jackie, who was still on the phone. I put on some pajamas and fell into bed, falling straight to sleep.
