We stepped out of the Tardis, the doors closed behind us. I turned around to look at it. "It's.." I began but the doctor cut in "Yes I know It's smaller on the outside..can't begin to tell you how many times I've gone through this with other-" I stopped him this time. "No, I was going to say it's blue.." I glanced back over to him standing there with a confused expression. "Blues my favorite color..hm..I guess it being small on the outside doesn't phase me...wait why doesn't it phase me?" I said quickly, this was a space ship. The only space ship I've ever seen and it looked like a police telephone box.
The doctor reached into the inside pocket of his pinstriped suit and pulled out a small metal looking instrument that was glowing blue at the tip. "That..I think I've seen one of those before" I said automatically walking over to it and touched the tip with my index finger. The doctor stood there in silence for a moment before he pressed a small button and it began to hum "It's a sonic screwdriver.." I nodded, once again he pressed his mouth into a hard line while he looked at me, as if he wanted to tell me something. He sighed as he released the small button and the sonic stopped humming, he glanced down at it then placed it back in his pocket. "We need to see Dorium..this way" he said trying to smile.
Where ever we were definitely didn't smell like earth. It was a little warm and crowded by all sorts of creatures. I felt dizzy for a moment, it almost felt like all of this didn't feel real..I walked behind the doctor through an odd looking crowd and spotted about 4 creatures that stood no taller than the doctor, and had white glass orbs attached to a small cord, there eyes were dark, their mouths scared me for a second before the doctor looked back at me and smiled "Oi, don't mind them" he stopped walked and turned around "Their actually the ones I want to talk with first" he grabbed my hand and we began to walk toward them "what are they?" I asked in a whisper "The Ood" he smiled brightly, "Love an ood"
He strolled up to the first ood "hello there" he said. The Ood nodded and touched his white orb that began to glow a little brighter as he spoke softly "Hello" he replied. "ah well I was just looking for Dorium Maldovar..Haven't seen him around have we?" The doctor said brightly
the oods orb glowed again "Dorium Maldovar can be located where the headless monks put him.." the ood replied. The doctor nodded and muttered a thank you and took my hand "why do we need to see 'Dorium'?" I asked curiously. "He might be able to tell me whats going on.." he paused and turned towards me "I want you to go back to the Tardis" he said in a serious tone. "why? didn't you want me to come along?" I actually felt a little let down. "No no I do but I remembered something just now..I need to see Dorium but it's where Dorium is located..it's not safe for you to go, it's my fault for not remembering sooner." he let go of my hand and took a single key out of his pocket.
"This is the key..go in and close the doors. Nothing can get through, just stay there until I get back it shouldn't be long" I took the bronze looking key and our finger tips touched. I felt a jolt go right through me. The Doctor narrowed his eyes at me, but it was hard to tell if it was out of anger. "I'll be back soon" before he turned around he gave me a brief hug then walked off. I made my way back through the crowd to find the Tardis behind an old building, other creatures walked past it without a second glance. I stood in front of the doors and grabbed the handle, it shocked me. I jumped back and stared at my hand, it felt warm from the shock.
"what was that for?" I mumbled as I took the key and slipped it into the lock. I cautiously touched the door handle but it didn't shock me this time. I walked in and closed the doors behind me. It was massive on the inside, I walked slowly, taking it all in. the strange looking columns glowed softly, the control center was a bright greenish color that sat there in silence. I found the chair and sat down. My feet hurt from all the walking and running..running..why was I running? A foggy memory was there, like trying to remember a dream. I was running from something..silver..something big..scary. "the Cybermen?" I said out loud to myself. I tried to remember more. I closed my eyes and relaxed.
There was screaming..i remember hearing a women screaming. A flash of blue light and the feeling of warmth around my body, I was floating? I dismissed the thought, of course I wasn't floating. I narrowed my eye brows trying to think..if I could only remember what happened. I stood and circled the Tardis's control center, gazing in wonder at all the knobs and switches. How does he fly this thing? I stepped back a little. My curiosity was burning but I refrained from touching anything. Who knows what would happen if I tried to figure this out. I turned around to sit back down, my flip flops suddenly decided to break.
I tumbled forward and hit the side of my skull on the metal grated floor. My head stung and started pounding. I'm never this clumsy, I turned on my side and looked down at my broken sandal, the rubbery part that goes between the toes had snapped. That's what I get for buying shoes at a cheap store. A sudden flash went through my mind. I was shopping..there was an explosion. Fire..panic. There was some people with me. My family..my parents stopped there because I asked them to..it was the first time I had seen them in a few years since moving across country..my family. I froze..screaming..my mother was screaming. I remained still, tears clouding my eyes. Both my parents..the only real family I had left that I trusted. Their gone, I could feel it in my chest. The ache was unbearable. I turned on my side and curled up on the metal floor beside the console.
I didn't want anything. I didn't want to see anyone. I just wanted to lay there until the end of time. I placed my hands in front of my face and sobbed quietly. My body shaking, this is the first time I've cried this hard in god knows how long. No wonder the doctor wouldn't say anything..I sobbed harder at the thought. If he had told me I wouldn't have believed him, I would've screamed and went into full panic. Just then I herd the Tardis doors open..
