We got the next chapter up! Woo! I'll try and upload as much as possible but we do have other things such as school to get on with too.
Chapter 2
"Well, if I am to find out the cause of the unknown problem, I think we should search the obvious places first. Let's start with your house, then anywhere else nearby," The Doctor answered.
"Ok. Which room?" Annabelle said.
Without answering the Doctor took a couple of steps to the nearest door. He then knocked on it, before placing his ear against the rough wood. Annabelle stood there an expression of confusion plastered across her face.
The Doctor then stood up and pushed the door. Once he had entered the room, he reached in to one of the pockets in his jacket. Annabelle curiously stood on tiptoe to look over his shoulder to see what he had pulled out of his pocket. She could barely see it, but it was silver and had little green bulb at the end of it.
Suddenly he put his arm in front of him and moved it side to side as the object made a 'zuurhing' noise whilst giving of a faint, green glow.
"What did you just do?" Annabelle asked her brow furrowing.
"Oh, just scanned the room for anything that should not be there. He flicked his wrist and the object elongated. The Doctor's eyes scanned the readings – nothing unusual seemed to be there.
"Nope, nothing here. Let's go down stairs," the Doctor concluded.
After a good half an hour searching they had still found nothing. When the doctor had finished getting the readings off the object which was now called a sonic screwdriver (Annabelle still couldn't grasp the idea of why he would want a sonic device in a screwdriver form, but decided it was best not to ask in too much detail about certain things.) he slumped into the armchair in the middle of the room. Annabelle realised, from the huff of breath he released as he sat down, that he was frustrated.
She stepped to the other side of the room, where she then sat down in the other chair. The room went silent apart from the sound of breathing and the ticking of the clock on the wall. The Doctor's eyes were still taking in the surroundings, whilst Annabelle began to chew her nails.
No sooner had she completely ruined the first two on her left hand when the Doctor suddenly leapt up. Her head shot up.
"Well, if it isn't here, then it must be somewhere else." The Doctor said. He turned on his heels and marched halfway up the stairs, only stopping to look in the mirror to readjust his bow tie.
However, before Annabelle had time to properly get onto her feet again, the Doctor had re-appeared on the stairs again.
"Hey you!" He called.
"Me?" Annabelle asked.
"Well is anyone else here? No. Come on, I thought you said you were going to help me find this thing?"
"I did, you jus-"Annabelle started before she was interrupted.
"Exactly! Now hurry up! We've got to find this- this- whatever it is!" laughed the Doctor as he continued back up the stairs. Annabelle followed.
They entered her bedroom again and the blue box was still there. The Doctor confidently stepped over to it, before pushing one of the 7 ft high, wooden doors. An orangey, warm glow escaped from the gap.
"We're travelling in that? It's just a..." Annabelle glanced up at the sign above the doors that read 'Police Phone Box' "It's just a phone box!" she finished.
"Just a phone box? I can tell you that there is more to this that meets the eye. It's a TARDIS!" The Doctor explained, disbelief tingeing his voice.
"A what?" Annabelle said.
"Oh... I'll explain it while we're on our way- just go inside!" The Doctor rolled his eyes. He then entered the TARDIS, leaving the girl standing there unsure of what to do.
The Doctor stepped out again. "Right, that's it!" he walked over to her and pushed her in the direction of the TARDIS. Just as he got to the doors he stood in front of her and said, "When I go somewhere you are meant to follow! It is a simple rule and most people understand it straight away. You don't though, which is weird." He looked her up and down before giving her a gentle push into the TARDIS.
A bright glow startled her. She had to blink a few times to adjust to the light.
Her lungs sucked in a large amount of air as she stood there staring at the image before her. Inside it was not at all how she imagined.
"It's bigger on the inside! What? How can that even be possible – it can't be!" She squeaked.
"But it is isn't it?" The Doctor said, a grin forming on his face. He was already at the controls fiddling. "This is the TARDIS. Time and relative dimension in space, is what it stands for and she is my girl – no one else's, so don't go getting ideas!" the Doctor informed.
"Uh huh..." was all Annabelle said as she tip toed carefully up the steps to the main console. The Doctor was running around it, flicking various switches and buttons. He typed something in on what seemed to be a keyboard.
"Where are we going?" Annabelle asked curiously, glancing around the side to see the Doctor.
"Wait and see..." Was all he answered, quickly looking at her. He then pressed a blue button and twisted another, which made the machine make the familiar whirring. Finally he pulled a red lever, which made everything go crazy.
"Ahhhhhh!" Annabelle screamed whilst half falling down the stairs she had just climbed. She managed to grab onto the railings which stopped her injuring herself so much.
"Can you stop screaming? It's giving me a headache!" The Doctor shouted above the noise.
"Sorry!" she shouted back. Her face had gone pale and she looked vaguely ill.
Unfazed by the trauma that Annabelle was experiencing, the Doctor casually pulled another lever. The shaking stopped. The girl now dropped to the floor chocking slightly before getting back onto her feet.
The Doctor happily walked past her in an excited way. He opened the doors again, a gateway to another world. He poked his head around the door.
"Amy, Rory!" The Doctor called into the unknown space. "We've got to go!"
