Author's Note: This is the second instalment in the 'Mysteries of Time' series. The first is called Reminiscences. Enjoy.
It was a peaceful winter's day in England. Particularly in the small neighbourhood in Chiswick where the Nobles lived. Unfortunately, a bout of freak weather the night earlier had covered their driveway under three feet of snow so, the whole family was outside, shovelling. Wilfred Mott went inside and sat on a bench in the shielded porch. The others went around to the back, and very soon Donna was the only one left in the driveway.
"Come back in Donna!" shouted Wilfred. "You'll catch a cold if you stay out there any longer." After all, it was nearing the end of winter and the changing weather could make someone ill. "And God knows what aliens are out there, and when they'll visit our planet next?" he muttered as an afterthought. The winters since the Doctor had last visited had been surprisingly quiet, and he didn't want this one to be any different. "Come back in here, Donna! It's getting colder!" he shouted again. But Donna could not hear her grandfather, because she could see what he couldn't from the restricted view of the porch. A giant alien spaceship flying over their neighbourhood.
She stood gaping at it for a while. An uneasy feeling tugged at her stomach. She tried to suppress it, but it refused to give up. A memory flashed in front of her eyes, but she shook it off. Wilfred, noticing that something was wrong, approached her. "Oh no!" he thought, as he saw the ship. He heard somebody whimper and turned to his granddaughter. "Donna, you alright?" he asked her, but there was yet another whimper. Donna felt panic well up inside her, taking over all her senses. "Gramps?" she squeaked nervously, turning. She collapsed in front of him with a look of pure terror on her face and screamed, a moment that would haunt Wilfred Mott for the rest of his life.
Reviews would be nice. :)
