Hope you enjoy my fanfic, please review if there's anything I need to fix, or of course if you would like to offer me compliments :)
Enjoy:
There it was, the noise, the one she had been taught to wait for. It meant he was here, the man planted in her dreams; the one she had to kill.
She was ready for him; she had been trained for this. She knew – not from being taught – just knew instinctively, that he had to die. It didn't matter how she did it, whether she used a knife or a gun. He just had to die, as soon as possible.
And then the box was suddenly visible; a blue police box from the 1960s that served as the man's spaceship.
The door creaked as it opened and a man stepped slowly out. "Where am I?" he said, "why have you brought me here… Hmm… No matter, you always have a good reason." As he spoke, he stroked the edge of the box, what was wrong with this man? Was he mad?
He looked around, scanning the room slowly. A look of confusion spread across his face as he saw her and then turned quickly to delight. "River!" he said as he stepped towards her, arms outstretched, long coat splaying out behind him. "River, it's so great to see you… But, last time I saw you, you looked so sad… I thought, maybe I wouldn't see you again…" He trailed off as he saw the blatant confusion in her eyes; River? River who? He was supposed to know me; that's what I had always been taught, that he'd know me when he saw me.
"River? Don't you recognise me?" he asked, clearly as confused as her.
She looked at his face, brown eyes; dark hair flopping to the side, top hat perched on top. It was the Doctor; the man she was looking for, she was almost certain of it… But he didn't know her… Or at least knew her by a different name. She looked at him again, more carefully this time; perhaps she had found the wrong man. Maybe, there was another Time Lord on Earth with a TARDIS with a broken chameleon circuit. It might not be him. "Who are you?" the words fell out of her mouth before she could stop them and she knew immediately after they had that she should not have said them.
He looked at her, "I…" his bottom lip had begun to quiver, "I… I'm no-one…" he said with a sigh, and then turned and stepped back inside his box. She stood still for a moment, considering what to do; he was upset about something and had seemed to think that she was someone else.
She had to follow him.
The door creaked as she opened it, the hinges were rusty; surely the mad-man-with-the-box could fix that, couldn't he? The man was sitting on a seat opposite her, with his head in his hands, quietly crying. Suddenly he lifted his head, there were tears running down his cheeks, his teeth were gritted and she could tell that he was trying his best not to start crying again.
He began to pull levers, push buttons and turn handles, the central column began to make noises, then; the whole room shook. She fell to the ground and looked up, only to see the mad-man-with-the-box staring down at her.
He forced himself to smile at her and then said, with his voice cracking a little, "So… Time for an adventure, don't you think?" She was taken aback, she had assumed that he would kick her out, but no, he was offering her a trip in his box and she couldn't refuse an offer like that. She nodded eagerly and grabbed his hand, which pulled her to her feet.
He looked up at the central column, "come on old girl; take me somewhere amazing!" Then he pulled a red lever and the room shook again, "Geronimo! Allons-y! Ha!" he shouted towards the roof.
When they landed only a few moments later, she was relieved, yet disappointed that the journey couldn't have lasted longer. The mad-man-with-the-box asked her to close her eyes as she stepped outside, and she complied with his wishes, simply because it felt like the right thing to do.
When she was finally allowed to open them, she couldn't help but gasp, it was amazing. "Here we are!" he said, "Fellspoon!"
"This is… Brilliant, just brilliant… But why did you bring me here?"
He looked at her for a moment as if he didn't quite know what to say, and then, "look at that, the mountains, just look at them, aren't they brilliant?"
And he was right, the mountains were brilliant, she had never heard of mountains swaying in the breeze before. She was about to ask him again to tell her why he brought her here, and then she realised; it didn't matter. This place was fantastic, what did it matter that she had no idea why she was here and who she was with? She should just enjoy herself.
"Come on then!" she shouted, skipping away from the mad-man-with-the-box, "let's get a closer look at the swaying mountains!" He watched her and laughed, then skipped along after her smiling to himself.
There will be more on the way, don't worry, and I know that it's not all that long, but I wanted to end this chapter on a high.
Please review :D
