Chapter four: Idiot.


Star Dust by Hailey Black

Have you ever wanted to just flay away from it all? Up into the clouds, to soar thought the sky? Touch the start, and the moons, and all the other worlds? I want to sit on the rings of Saturn and watch the earth turn, and I want you to hold me in the asteroid belt as we watch all of creation taking place around us. But, if you decide, this galaxy is just too small, and you fly away, with out me. Leave me your star dust, and a memory to hold, because you are my universe.


"Well you're an alien, at least these used to be human." She breathed teasingly into his ear. He rolled his eyes. Guess they were going vampire hunting.

The Doctor rolled his eyes and tugged Seraphina back in the direction from which they came. She came along easily and stopped the Doctor point to a door. He raised an eyebrow at her and she nodded her head nudging him to open it. The door open to a pitch black room, Seraphina passed the Doctor and moved into the room pulling him behind her. Once the door was shut she let out a sigh.

"Vampire? You're kidding me. Right?" She asked. The Doctor couldn't see her in the dark but from her voice she was just in front of him. He couldn't help the soft smile on his face, thought it still held a firm undertone of fear and worry.

"No, I'm not kidding you." He said reaching a hand out and trying to find hers. He did and gave it a small reassuring squeeze. She let out a nervous laugh and shook her head thought the Doctor couldn't see it.

"Bloody brilliant. So what kind are we dealing with? Like old Dracula movies or this new Twilight crap?" She asked, the Doctor could almost hear the eye rolling in her voice. He chuckled and pulled her closer to him, trying to keep her safe.

"Neither. Actually vampires are quite different then the movies depict them as. They are, I suppose handsome creatures, but you see they're very vain. They only feed off of other vampires." He explained. Seraphina snorted.

"Oh, yeah... Because that makes perfect sense." Seraphina muttered sarcastically. The Doctor smiled softly.

"To them it does. To them human blood with tamper with their perfect DNA… Didn't stop them from messing about with humans though centuries ago. The vampires have come to the conclusion that they can't just feed off pure vampire, or risk extinction. So they began to feed off of those containing traces of their blood. Still won't go fully human though. They started almost making these… farm. Where they'd keep people and-.." Seraphina cut him off.

"Harvest their blood… Okay, so they took Seamus?" She asked worried, "But that means he's a vampire, or sorta, he has some blood… Why didn't they take his mum then?" The Doctor heard her heart rate quicken slightly and he pulled her closer.

"Yes. They have Seamus, but like I said, keeping them for blood, so he's somewhere, in this building, alive. His father may have been the one carrying the vampire blood. Not his mother. Seraphina, I need you to be very, very brave for me, can you do that. Because you're human. Very, very human, and they will not hesitate to kill you. Understand?" He asked her keeping his voice gentle but firm.

"I understand, might not drink me, but they'll sure as hell murder me." She said squeezing the Doctor's hand. He nodded his head.

"Exactly, you're in the most danger here. They don't want to kill the ones with good blood, so they can feed, and they can't feed off me. But I need you, remember what you said earlier? You know this place like the back of your hand."

"I do… Tell me, where would they be storing the people?" She asked starting to pull the Doctor into the dark room, which he soon figured out, was a hallway.

"Somewhere near then, lazy creatures don't want to go too far for feeding, so they're in this building. How many people would you say went missing?" He asked letting Sera lead the way.

"Eight." She replied with no hesitation. "Three woman, five men." The Doctor nodded his head going into a deep thought.

"So a medium sized room, they may be cold blooded killers but like I said, they have this weird things where they think they're better then everything else in existence, so they wouldn't put their own kinds all bunched up and crampy. Even if they are just keeping them to eat them." Seraphina paused and thought a moment.

"Come on, I have an idea..." She muttered quietly, "But we're going to have to go upstairs and cross directly over the vampire, okay?" She asked.

"Okay, we need to be incredibly careful, if they hear us…" He let that one hand out in the air before Seraphina nodded and turned leading the Doctor to an old set of iron stares. She let go of his hand and as quietly as possible she began to climb. The Doctor followed her every move, trying to keep his boots from making any sort of clang. Half way up she stopped and turned slight to whisper to him.

"No the step I'm standing on, but the next one, it clangs. Loud, hope over it, okay?" She whispered before turning back around. Sera managed to gracefully lift herself up and over the unusable step. The Doctor took a deep breath and waited for her to go up another step before lifting himself. There was a small clang there deafening silence as both the Doctor and Seraphina held their breath and listened closely. Nothing.

Together they both managed to make it to the second level of the button factory. The Doctor grabbed Seraphina hand again making sure to keep her close to him. He leaned down to her level.

"Where to now?" He whispered glancing around. He could see better up here, for there were part in the ceiling that were missing letting in the moon light. He could now make out all of Seraphina's face. She looked pretty in the moonlight, het dark black hair shinning with an almost blue tint, her green eyes still sparkling with all the danger around her.

"We need to be quiet, the floor are thin. Take your boots off, we're going to walk directly over them to get to the room." She ordered. Seraphina leaned against the Doctor untying her black converse and setting them on the ground next to each other. The Doctor chuckled quietly as she wiggled her sock covered toes, which happen to be bright pink with little green zig zags on them.

"Nice socks." He commented taking his turn to lean on her and undo his boots slipping them off and placing them next to her shoes. His frowned looking down at his tan sock, "Mine aren't cool…" Seraphina smiled sadly grabbing his hand and squeezing it.

"It's alright, when we fix this, I'll buy you some really cool socks. Glow in the dark ones even." She promised seriously, "Everyone should have cool socks. They're like a secret only you and your feet know about." The Doctor grinned happily.

"I'm holding you to that promise." He whispered as she grinned back up at him. Seraphina gently tugged the Doctor and started to walk keeping her footsteps light. When they got to another door Sera put a finger to her lips telling the Doctor to be extra quiet, he nodded in understanding.

She slowly opened the door avoiding making a creaking noise and grabbed the Doctor's hand again pulling him through. The room was large and completely cleared out besides some old machines moved against the walls. The floor had a thick layer of dust on it thankfully, which helped mask their footsteps. Seraphina stepped lightly going very slow and pulling the Doctor along with her.

The Doctor stepped and the board beneath his foot made a loud snapping noise, Seraphina pulled him forward eyes going wide.

"Doctor!" She whispered frantically eyes going wide with fear. Out of the corner of his eyes he spotted something. He let go of Sera hand running to the door and closing it, sonicing the lock.

"That'll buy us some time." He announced running back over to her, "But not enough, do you trust me." He asked her seriously looking into her eyes. She nodded her head.

"With my life." She confirmed. The Doctor smiled sadly at her before pulling her towards one of the windows that was party concealed by one of the machines. He looked down at her again.

"There should be a small window ledge just out there going under all the windows. Right?" He asked quickly, there was banding on the other side of the door. She nodded her head, "I'm going to climb out there, and you need to follow me, okay?" He asked trying to keep any and all panic out of his voice. Again all she did was nod her head.

The Doctor let go of her hand climbing out the glassless window and onto the tiny ledge, he scooted over to the edge and grabbed on tight to the building extending a hand for Seraphina to grab. She did so, and he felt it shaking slightly in his so he tightened the hold in it gently pulling her out and next to him. He wrapped his one arm around her middle and pulled her close, making sure she wouldn't be seen.

He used his free hand to hold onto the building for dear life. There was quiet as the door inside swung open and whoever was in there began to explore. The Doctor squeezed Sera silently telling her she needed to be very quiet.

There was shuffling from inside the building and some talking as the people searched for what made the mysterious noise.

"Do you smell that?" Someone asked, defiantly male. The Doctor held Seraphina closer trying to keep her away from the open window.

"Yeah, human… and something else too, something different, what do you reckon it is?" There was a deep sniffing noise.

"Someffin poison." Someone said bluntly.

"Think we need to tell boss…" The first person that spoke asked, there was the sound of flesh hitting flesh and the second voice spoke again, hot and angry.

"Are you an idiot? Of course not, he'd have out heads! We tell him nothing, got that? If whoever it is comes back, we kill 'em." He said angrily. There was silence followed by heavy footsteps and a door slamming shut. Neither the Doctor, nor Seraphina moved.

"He hit me…" the first voice mumbled. There was a chuckled.

"Yeah well you was bein' an idiot." There was another sound of flesh hitting flesh.

"You're the idiot,"

"Yeah, I'm the idiot, sorry." This time two sets of footsteps before the door opened and closed heavily behind him. AS soon as it did that the Doctor let out a heavy breath of relief. Slowly Sera climbed back into the room and stood close offering a hand to the Doctor to help him in.

They stood in complete silence for a minute before the Doctor looked down at Seraphina to make sure she was alright,

"Okay?" He asked in a whispered looking her over. She was shivering slightly but besides that she looked fine.

"Freezing…" She whispered back starting to rub her arms to make friction. The Doctor noticed, she wasn't shivering from fear, she was shivering because she was standing on a second story window ledge at one in the morning in January.

"Here take my jacket." He murmured slipping of his tweed jacket and wrapping it around her. She smiled sticking her arms in the wholes.

"Thank you." She muttered her shivers slowly stopping, "Well that was a close one… So vampires are idiot, or…?" The Doctor shook his head smiling slightly.

"Some of them are we got very lucky…" He said before taking her hand again, "Now what do you say to locating those people?" Sera smiled and turned walking carefully and pulling the Doctor along with her.

"I say, let's go, we've got lives to save."

Oh. I hope that was okay, sorry it was short and kinda blah, but I'm all sick and yadda yadda. So I've decided, if you want Seraphina and The Doctor to encounter and specific aliens feel free to ever reveiw with what alien, or go ahead and send me a PM. Either way I'm taking suggesting, and course doing some of my own. Please review so I know you're reading.
