Didn't know if I was going to finish this or not. However, I hate leaving it unfinished. So, I'm going to finish it. I've got a plan and some delightful plot twists.

"See look! Village" The Doctor said smiling back at River and I. It was the wrong moment to look back at us. I froze right as I was stepping over a log. The sudden quantum lock was like being slammed by a gust of wind. There was nothing I could do, my weight was off balance, and I crashed to the ground, dirt flew everywhere. I felt the quantum lock disengage, they must have immediately turned away. Quick thinkers. I didn't move for a second, just rested. I think parts of me might have chipped off when I tripped. I groaned internally, I felt a piece of my shoulder missing. This is what happens when I go cavorting with my sister's enemies. No wonder people don't cross them. I jumped when I felt a hand on my arm.

"It's not much farther," She promised pointing. I pulled myself into a seated position. "And if the Doctor can manage to walk this far, I know you can too."

"Oi!" I wonder if they ever got annoyed with the jabs they constantly made at each other. Ignoring them I looked at where River was pointing. There peeking through the trees was a village. My sister's voices were a distant screech in my head and now a bit louder than they were this morning. They were coming for us. I stared at the village, but I didn't get up right away. I had been dwelling on that village for the better part of the day. Actually, from the time we'd set off this morning until the time the sun was high in the sky I'd been preoccupied with thoughts of the village. Now I saw it and my stone shook slightly and I pulled my wings in close. River and the Doctor were still not looking at me trying to be considerate of this blasted quantum lock. At least, they were trying not to look. I wonder if they realized how many glances they snuck at me…I kept locking and unlocking. It was actually making my stone achy.

"Oh hush. Don't pretend like you haven't been groaning every time you stubbed your toe on a rock." She shook her head at him.

"It's because this is the boring parts of the story. This is why I have the TARDIS to skip over the boring bits!"

"Stop pouting! It makes your chin look bigger." He threw his hands up in the air and turned away from her. He passed for a moment.

"Does it really?" He suddenly asked. She barely spared him a glance over her device that she'd pulled out.

I touched her arm and pointed to the ground. She and the Doctor read what I had scratched out on the silly log I'd tripped over.

So many people. I haven't been around many people in so long. I'm a Weeping Angel.

"You're nervous!"

People hate us for a reason. They will fear and hate me. I'm an Angel.

The Doctor was grinning ear to ear. I really had no idea why he was so happy, every step we got closer to the village I got tenser and tenser. It was like voluntarily going into a quantum lock every time I thought about all the people that would be there. What if they'd heard of Weeping Angels? "An Angel nervous," I raised an eyebrow at him. "You don't know why that is important do you?" He asked looking at my face. I gave him a thumbs down…easiest way of saying no.

"It shows you are different. You think about what other people are thinking. You feel! You love a sunset, you're scared of danger, and you're nervous about meeting people." He crouched down in front of me. "You wanted to help people in danger." He touched my hands. "You were brave enough to look at who your people were and fight to be something different. Those are things that make the best people in the universe." I felt like I was in an intense Quantum lock as he was talking. It made me feel, well it made me feel less like a Weeping Angel. I hoped he was right. He didn't' really know me very well though. However, it did give me some courage to get up. So I pushed myself to my feet and gave a thumbs up.

"Shall we?" River asked. She was fluffing her hair, brushing dirt off her clothes, and pulling the zipper of her shirt down just a bit.

"No flirting!" The Doctor said, but he was eyeing her. She winked at him while pulling out her gun and pressing some of the buttons on it. "And no shooting!" He scolded while wagging a finger at her.

"Only if they shoot first," she assured in a smooth sultry voice. She was different from any life form I'd ever meet. She didn't seem the kind to shoot people without cause, I think she just liked getting a rise out of the Doctor who looked like he'd swallowed some sour candy at the thought of a fire fight.

We began making our final approach to the village. The Doctor practically skipped along now. He kept talking while we were walking. He was spouting off theories as to who these people on the planet were. There were no records of people on the planet he recounted to us. There was very little information on the planet at all. Only that people liked to use it as a graveyard because of how pretty it was. The Doctor had immediately been intrigued. He told me, more than once, that he loved a good mystery. After all, he knew almost all the planets out there, or so he said. He told us that Gallifreyan children had to pass Species and Planets of the Universe 101. It was like Kindergarten for them. But, he didn't remember this planet. The word Gallifreyan sounded familiar. Either was, he was clearly intrigued and was going on about it. River was smiling at him and shaking her head at the same time. She occasionally threw off an off the wall theory, to which the Doctor would pause for a moment and seem to actually consider the theory. It was clear she wasn't being serious, but the Doctor was enjoying the wild theories.

We pushed our way through the line of trees, and the three of us saw who was there. I hadn't seen these people at the graveyard I used to watch over. Then again, we were on the other side of the planet. The looked different from the Doctor and River. As we broke through the trees I was immediately thrown into a quantum lock. There were three of them, and it looked like they had been waiting for us. River had immediately holstered her gun, and stood up straighter. She respected whoever these people were. The Doctor was smiling, as if he was seeing old friends. The creatures held something in their hands, but with their open hand they gestured to their village.

"Welcome friends we've been expecting you."

"Oh?" The Doctor said looking genuinely pleased.

"You've had a long journey, but it is time for a rest. The hardest parts are ahead of you"

"Thank you, if you ask him he'd say it was long." River said gesturing to the Doctor.

"The hardest parts are ahead?" The Doctor asked.

"Come, the Ood Council will speak with you about that." The Ood turned and looked right at me. "We know of Weeping Angels. We hear your sisters over the expanse of this land. Their darkness is coming. We feel your fear too. Don't worry, you are welcome here. We will do what we can to help you and the Doctor."
