(A.N. Sorry for the horribly long wait. I completely lost motivation for writing for a while, and I still have no idea how to write fight scenes, so completely delaying that... As usual, any advice on anything, or even just pointing out mistakes would be incredibly helpful. Thanks!)
Chapter 4: Bigger on the Inside
Rachel's eyes widened with shock. 'Well, this was new.' She thought to herself. No one, except maybe Alyssa, had been anywhere close to protective of her. She barely even remembered her parents, and Aunt Cass had been anything but protective. 'More like; Go on, I can't be expected to do this for you forever. ' Rachel thought bitterly. It was- rather nice to not be expected to be completely independent anymore.
"Rachel, close your eyes. You don't need to see this yet."The Doctor's voice told me as I shut my eyes tightly. A small buzzing echoed through the room. Then a sob. And another. Clangs and thumps were heard all over. "It's okay now. You're fine. It's fine now." I slowly cracked my eyes open, as an influx of sudden brightness hit my eyes. I hissed quietly.
"You okay?" He asked worriedly, fiddling with his bow tie. "Bright..." I muttered. His laugh rang throughout the room, making a small smile come across my face. "Alyssa!" I suddenly yelped out. "Huh?" He gave me a strange look. "Alyssa!" I repeated. "Where's Alyssa?!" I heard a sharp bark from down by my boot. "There she is." He pointed out, unnecessarily. That set me off, and I started laughing. His chuckles slowly faded in to my laughter as he slowly led me out of the ship, making our way through fallen cybermen left and right.
I slowly leaned into his side, tired from tall the excitement and the adrenaline rush. "Come along now, Rae." He said softly, leading me out the door. "Rae?" I muttered quietly. "Short for Rachel. Is that fine? 'Cause if it isn't, I can stop and just call you Rachel, 'cause that's your name, right-" He rambled on. I interrupted him in a small voice. "Rae's perfect." He just smiled.
We slowly walked through the forest from earlier, him practically pulling me along the pathway. We finally came across the box from earlier, sitting in the exact place we'd found it this afternoon. It was really out of place here, I noted. He let go of my shoulder that he'd been using to drag me along to walk forward towards the police call box. He spun around to face me, one hand on the door. And as he slowly opened it, a golden light leaking through the cracks and an inherent warmth cloaked the both of us. "Welcome," He paused dramatically."To the TARDIS." I stepped inside, past him, only to be greeted with a small humming and the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen.
There was a platform suspended in the middle with catwalks coming off the sides. IN the middle of this, was a small control panel with all sorts of buttons and levers of all shapes, sizes, and colors. There were other staircases making their way elsewhere through holes in golden-orange walls, decorated with glowing- bubbles? Maybe? "She's bigger on the inside..." I voiced with awe coloring my tones.
"Yes, yes she is." He grinned. "Come on, I'll take you to your bedroom. You look about dead on your feet." I asked the one thing that had been bothering me. "MY bedroom?"
