The strong scent of applegrass returns to my nose as my eyes open slowly. I almost forgot I snuck in here. The memory of my mom comes back to mind as I sit up on the bed. My eyes are still heavy from my sleep, as I take one more look around the room before leaving for the console room. I notice Rose is still asleep. no shock she is a human. Jayden is sitting in a corner reading through symbols and what they do in a book. And my dad, still eyeballing Jayden as he flies the TARDIS. I laugh a bit at the bunch in the area. A samurai, 2 timelords and a human still knocked out cold. The thought makes me smile and I take over flying when my dad leaves for a minute.I look to Jayden as he glances up from his book.
" How are you so good at flying this thing? " He asks tilting his eyebrows at me.
" First of all, the TARDIS isn't a thing, its a she " I say disappointed " Second of all I have a strong connection with the TARDIS "
" Oh really? " He says with a slight smile " How? "
" I was born in her " I say with a cheery voice and the TARDIS makes a sound. Showing her confirmation.
A drowsy Rose stumbles in to the console room with the help of my dad. I wave at Rose who returns the wave while holding onto the railing. The TARDIS makes its amazing noise, made by the brakes, as it lands in our preset co-ordinates. A slight shreek comes from Jayden as a thump indicates our complete lading. He must still be getting used to the "Bigger on the inside" factor. I take his hand and help him to his feet as the four of us head to the door. On the outside stands a mountain a million feet tall. My dad is about to explain when I cut him off.
" This is- " He starts
" Mount Kilimanjaro " I say with a gasp " 19,341 feet tall, dormant, so we must be in Tanzania aren't we! "
" Yes well I was going to get to that if you'd let me! " He says frustrated
" Sorry you know how I get excited! " I say jumping up and down, before my face turns worried " Aren't there like a million diseases here? We should probably get back into the TARDIS! "
" No, as long as we are standing here the TARDIS is protecting us. " He says and I give a sigh of relief.
Even though I am assured, I go back into the TARDIS to fetch some protection rings for Rose and bangles of the same matter for Jayden. The essence in them protect them from the diseases of Tanzania. They smile at me as they put them on, I feel better after they are both wearing them. We walk from the protection barrier the TARDIS formed for us and begin to explore.
" Ya know, one day I might wanna climb Mount Kilimanjaro " I say with cheer as we walk on the small grassy field, my dad scanning it with his sonic " I wonder if I did and shouted at the top of my lungs if anyone in the area would hear me "
A laugh comes from the others before I get a response.
" Eh, probably not " Rose says shooting down my idea. I sigh as we continue searching before I stop as I step down on what feels like metal.
I brush the dirt and grass slightly covering it to reveal a logo I know all too well. The symbol on the chest of a cyberman. I go into panic mode, there could be danger all around us and I dragged Jayden into the middle of it.
" DAD " I shout and my dad rushes over to examine the symbol.
" We need to get back to the TARDIS " He says looking at us all.
" Why what's wrong " Jayden manages to say before we all go silent to the sound of rhythmic metallic pounding of cybermen's feet. I stop the others before they take off running.
" No, we can't run from them " I say and get a whining sound from Jayden. " If they are heading this way they must know we are here, and if they know we are here, then they could be guarding the TARDIS"
They look at me in shock. My face in a frowning expression.
" If we head for the TARDIS, " I continue " We could be running into a trap "
Jayden steps closer to me and I take his hand, I won't see him hurt. I brought him into the mess, I will get him out. The pounding gets louder as the cybermen get closer. I start thinking of ways to kill the cybermen, raygun? No that'd require string, a domino, a cork and a laser pointer. What about a magnetic inhibital disrupter? No I'd need a penny, an olive, 3 coils and a rubber band. I sigh, before looking down at my necklace. Of course!
" Their here! " I hear Jayden panic.
I remove the my necklace and to a spin to turn to the cybermen, slightly kneeling as I do. My eyes glow yellow with regeneration energy, showing that my plan will work. A beam shoots from my necklace and hits one of the cybermen, causing all of them to fall to their knees and have their heads explode. I turn to my group.
" RUN " I say and we dash back to the TARDIS. As I suspected earlier it was guarded by cybermen, and as we run, I shoot them with my necklace like the others. We get inside and I collapse to the floor, I must have used up too much of my regeneration energy at once to kill the cybermen. But it was worth it to keep Jayden safe.
Jayden helps me up and sits me in the pilots chair so my dad, even though he hates it when anyone sits there, checks me over just to yell at me later.
" What the hell were you thinking?! " He says angry with me.
" What? No thank you? " I say looking at the three of them " I saved all of our lives back there and this is what I get? "
Saying that, Jayden gives me a kiss on the cheek before walking away. He knows my dad doesn't like him, he knows he really shouldn't get in my dads way when he is mad.
" You know that was a stupid waste of regeneration energy " He says shouting at me.
" I wanted to keep you guys safe! " I say causing their faces to look shocked. I storm back to my room before falling asleep angry. I know its bad to sleep angry as I will wake up madder than before. But I saved them and they were un-grateful. I am starting to regret ever leaving the team.
