Scene 4
In a large hall, possibly dining hall. The room is filled with hundreds of mirrors, covering every piece of wall. The Doctor and Mary are stood in the middle.
DOCTOR: When I said every mirror in the house, I was expecting maybe 10, but wow. Okay, so now they're in one room. Was anything taken from this room?
MARY: No.
DOCTOR: Okay good. Right so they're all in one room, reflecting only what is in this room. You may ask what about all the other rooms where my things were taken? Where have they gone?
Pause.
DOCTOR: I did actually mean ask me. But never mind. Well, watch this.
The Doctor pulls out his sonic screwdriver and pushes the button. It lights up. All the reflections of the rooms the mirrors originally came from are projected on individual mirrors. We can see a house maids banging on the glass in one mirror, the husband on another, Matthew banging on one. The TARDIS is still projected on the mirror in Mary's room.
DOCTOR: You're mirrors aren't mirrors Mary. This alien or whatever it is, is jealous of you.
MARY: Aliens? What?
DOCTOR: Allow me to explain. This alien or foreign being, came down to Earth, however it had no immediate form, and it's just a shadow. It needed a form, but rather than going for a simple form and living the quiet life, it's chosen yours. It wants everything that you have. It wants your life Mary. However there was a catch, this alien when it landed on Earth, it fell into a sub-parallel universe, it can easily hop to and from your world and its. But it can't just stroll into your world and take things. That would cause a collapse in the dimensions. So it placed itself seemingly into your mirrors. Making them a gateway. Anything you've had as a major part of your life, it takes. It grows in strength until it can take you. The simpler the mind form, the easier it can take. But because you're aware of what it's been doing, it's going to take some time to get you.
Suddenly, in another room. CRASH. The Doctor sprints to the sound of the noise.
DOCTOR: AMYYYYYYYY!!!
Runs into the kitchen, where there is a metal tray on the floor with smashed glasses of milk.
DOCTOR: No, no, NO. They never listen, go in a room with no mirrors, and what do they do.....
Realises.
DOCTOR: There are no mirrors in here. How did it..?
The Doctor looks at the smashed glass, and there in one of the fragments is Amy, banging on the glass.
DOCTOR: It's growing in strength. And right now, we need to hurry. COME ONNNNNNN!
Doctor sprints out the room and back into the hall.
DOCTOR: Okay, okay think. Think. THINK! Why would it take Amy? We've only just got here. Why are we here? What is it doing? Why can it project through glass? What is It? Why is a llama a llama?
Pause.
DOCTOR: Focus. Think.
MARY: Doctor.
DOCTOR: Not now Mary I need to focus.
MARY: No but Doctor. The stories I read to my children every night. I think they brought you in to this.
DOCTOR: Of course! Stories. Placing us into everyone's minds.
Pause.
DOCTOR: But how did you even know about us? I mean stories about me, before its even happened. Before you even knew I existed.
MARY: It was a book. I'd never seen it before, but it was there on my shelf. Full of wonderful tales about you.
DOCTOR: Where is this book?
Scene 5
The Doctor and Mary are back in the library. Mary reaches up to a shelf and brings down a book. It's River Songs diary.
DOCTOR: Ah....
MARY: It just appeared one day, and all the time, grows bigger...it does make a good read though.
DOCTOR: Mary have you ever had a visitor to this house that seemed slightly odd? She was maybe looking for me.
MARY: Now that you come to mention it. Yes.
DOCTOR: Did you ever see her leave?
MARY: I er....
DOCTOR: Commanding Did you ever see her leave?
MARY: No.
DOCTOR: Now you see I'm very angry now. Shouts to the sky. NOT ONE MORE PERSON IS BEING TAKEN. DO YOU HEAR ME? NOT ONE MORE.
The Doctor places the book in his pocket.
DOCTOR: To the Hall of Mirrors.
The Doctor and Mary walk out the room.
