Haymitch cautiously pushed open the door to the old, abandoned building and stepped inside. It wasn't much and looked to be close to come crashing down, but it was the best lead he had gotten in nearly twenty years.

Ever since Maysilee had just disappeared of the face of the earth, he had been searching for an explanation, no matter what anyone else said or believed. May's twin sister, Mackenzie, had told him again and again how she dreamed of Maysilee, alive and well in some castle, clad in extravagant dresses. She'd even dug up an old history book with a portrait from a few centuries ago that did undeniable look exactly like Maysilee and was underwritten with Mademoiselle Donner.

Mackenzie was convinced that her sister was trapped in the past. Haymitch thought it was some mad coincident.

But now one of May's niece Madge's friends had gone missing and her little sister had recieved a letter from allegedly eighty years ago; suddenly, Kenzie's theory didn't seem quite so insane anymore.

So now Haymitch was hoping to find some kind of clue in this dump of a building that that Katniss girl had warned her sister to stay away from no matter what.

Finding nothing on the ground floor, he climbed up steps that creaked dangerously with his every move, exploring room after room. Haymitch found himself drawn to a room much like any of the other and found the windows in it boarded up. Under much groaning and cursing, he tore away the planks and looked over the newly exposed garden.

It was overgrown and uncared for like the house itself, but grand. The statue of a weeping woman stood atop a fountain in the centre of the garden. No, not just a woman; she had wings. A weeping angle.

He rolled his eyes at the kitsch of it and turned to leave the room when he sensed a movement behind him. Haymitch spun around quickly only to find that there was nothing there.

Leaning out of the window with a scowl, he found no one outside either. He was about to just shrug it of as his imagination when he realised the angel statue had disappeared."What the hell?"

As if things hadn't just got confusing enough, the door to the would-be abandoned house was thrown open. Haymitch rushed towards the staircase but was stopped by a voice drifting up towards him."Keep your eyes on the angel! No matter what you do, don't look away!"

Haymitch spun around once more, finding a monstrum a mere foot from him. It was the statue, undoubtebly, but nothing had ever looked less like an angel; fangs bared and claws outstretched, it was something that could have crawled out of a nightmare.

"What is that?"Haymitch yelled back at the disembodied voice, keeping his eyes fixed on the statue. The hasty clicking of high heels moved towards him, as did the voice."Just don't blink! I'll explain later."

Not blinking was easier said than done. Haymitch's eyes felt as if he'd rubbed chilli into them by the time the voice's owner pushed past him, placing a mirror taller than herself infront of the statue.

"You can blink now, it's trapped,"the woman told Haymitch, adjusting the huge butterfly pin she wore in hair equally massive curls."But we should still get out of here post-haste. This area is simply infested with weeping angels."

Haymitch followed her as she made her way down the stairs faster than seemed doable on the heels she was wearing and towards a blue box that seemed to be her destination. He grabbed her arm just as they reached what turned out to be a Police Box."Wait! You said you'd explain. Who are you? What was that thing? What the hell is going on?"

"Oh! How rude of me,"the woman said, eyes wide in shock."Where are my manners? I'm the Doctor, hello. Lovely to meet you."

She shook his hand with both of hers as he just stared. That wasn't even an answer. That just threw up more questions. Doctor who? Before he could ask, she already continued."As for the Weeping Angels, they are just one of the many, many wondorous things this universe has to offer."

She snapped her fingers with a dazzling smile, the door to the Police Box swinging open."Care to see more?"
