When the Tardis stopped I ran to the door and opened it only to find a curtain in front of me. I rolled my eyes and pulled back the curtain.
"Whoa" I said as I saw this little market place and beautiful Greek looking buildings.
"Ah here we are Ancient Rome, well right now it's actually new Rome" the Doctor said from behind me.
"Oh my god this is amazing" Donna said going up and hugging the Doctor.
"I'm here, in Rome Donna Noble is in Rome" she said.
"This is so amazing when I get back I am totally going to be able to ace History when we go over Rome" I told him.
"The weird part is everyone is dead" Donna said.
"Well don't tell them that" the Doctor said, I giggled.
"Hold on a minute, that signs in English are we at Epcot" Donna said looking disappointed.
"OH MY GOD this is even better I've always wanted to go to Disneyworld. I love you even more Doctor" I said hugging him.
"No no no no, and sorry for bursting your bubble Darcy but, that's the Tardis' translation circuit makes everything in Latin English. We're actually talking in Latin right now" the Doctor said.
"Really" I said, than I covered my mouth.
"Oh my god I just said really in Latin and I'm talking in Latin right now also this is so cool" I said. The Doctor laughed at my excitement.
"So what would happen if I said something in actual Latin like Veni, Veday, Veci what would happen" Donna asked him?
"I'm not sure your asking a lot of question's aren't you" the Doctor told her.
"I'm gonna try it" Donna said walking up to a cart.
"I'm gonna follow her and see how this goes" I told the Doctor following Donna.
"Well hello there you two what can I get you" the cart vender asked us?
"Um Veni, Veday, Veci" Donna said.
"Sorry what umm Me no speakay Celtic. Is your mother crazy" the cart vender whispered to me. I laughed and told him no. Donna looked at him completely shocked and walked away.
"What's he mean by Celtic" Donna asked him?
"Welsh you sound Welsh now we learned something let's go" the Doctor said making us move on. I felt as if someone was looking at us and turned around and saw this chick with weird makeup(AN:possibly Karen Gillan if no one knew that) that made her look like she belonged in Star Wars staring at us. I quickly gained speed catching up with Donna and the Doctor.
"So what about are cloths" Donna asked him?
"Oh here in Rome anything goes it's like SoHo but bigger. And by the way that fire had nothing to do with me" the Doctor said.
"What fire" I asked him?
"The one that had nothing to do with me" he said.
"Last time I was here I never got the chance to look around Parthenon, Circus Maxium, the Olympics" he said.
"Hot Gladiators" I said Donna and I looked at each other and laughed.
"Where is everything though" the Doctor asked? I looked behind me again feeling that weird feeling and saw the same chick with that makeup staring at us. Apparently I was the only one seeing this though because no one else paid attention to her. I had to run to catch up with Donna and the Doctor again.
"I'm not an expert but there's seven hills of Rome aren't there. How come they only got one" Donna asked? I felt the ground start to shake and heard a rumbling noise and realized it was an earthquake.
"Wait a minute one mountain with smoke coming out of it which means" Donna said.
"We're in Pompeii" I said.
"And it's volcano day" the Doctor said.
"Quick find a bathtub and a mattress" I said reciting what I heard from those emergency videos I watched in Science.
"It's ancient Rome they don't have bathtubs or mattress' Darcy" The Doctor said.
"Well do you have any better ideas" I told him.
"Yes run to the Tardis" he said. We ran to where the Tardis last was, the Doctor pulled back the curtain it was hidden behind except nothing was there.
"Oh your kidding me" I said.
"Don't tell me the Tardis is gone" Donna said.
"Ok" the Doctor said.
"So where is it" I asked?
"Donna told me not tell you" the Doctor said.
"Oi don't get smart with us in Latin" Donna said. The Doctor ran over to the owner of the cart Donna and I had talked to.
"Hey did you see a big blue wooden box right there" the Doctor asked him?
"Yeah I sold it" the cart owner said with this smug grin on his face.
"What" I said practically about to jump on him and attack him for selling the only way of us getting out of Pompeii alive but Donna held me back.
"Who'd you sell it to" the Doctor asked?
"Old Chaikillius look if you want to fight with someone about it go and settle it with him. Down Fourth Street big house can't miss it" the cart owner said.
"Thanks ,wait what'd he buy a big wooden box for" the Doctor asked him?
"Modern art of course" the owner of the cart said. Then three of us split up and went looking for the house. I couldn't find anything except some really cute clothes but still I met back up with Donna and the Doctor.
"I found it so quick come on lets go" the Doctor said grabbing me and Donna's hand.
"But what I found this little amphitheater thing and I was thinking we could ring a bell and get everyone together" Donna said.
"What do you want a bell for" I asked Donna?
"To warn people" she told me.
"We can't do that though" the Doctor said.
"But why what day is Mount Vesuvius supposed to erupt" Donna asked?
"Tomorrow" the Doctor said.
"Well that's very easy we could just evacuate everybody couldn't we" I asked him.
"But we can't" the Doctor said.
"But wait you're the Doctor you fix things you save people" Donna told him.
"Yes but not Pompeii it is a fixed point in History that cannot change" the Doctor said. I finally got what he was saying but Donna wouldn't seem to let it go.
"Say's who" Donna said.
"Say's me" the Doctor said.
"So" Donna argued.
"Tardis, Time lord yeah" the Doctor said.
"Donna, human, no. So what I'll just tell them myself. And Darcy will do it with me won't you" Donna asked me.
"Well actually-"
"Oh no she won't because she agrees with me and dosen't want to go around be called a mad woman telling everyone they're all going to die tomorrow right Darcy" the Doctor said interrupting.
"Um" I said as both of them stared at me wanting me to choose a side.
"Never mind we need to go get the Tardis and then we are leaving and that's final" the Doctor said walking off. I slowly started to follow him.
"Well I might just have something to say about that SPACEMAN" Donna yelled at him following him.
"Oh I'm sure you do" the Doctor yelled back. I realized there were a lot of people staring at us.
"And that concludes our play Mad People In the Streets hope you enjoyed it and see you" I told them before I ran off and followed the Doctor and Donna. When I reached the house the Doctor had just caught a very important looking statue from falling.
"All right there we go" the Doctor said as he lifted it up.
"I'm sorry business is closed for today I'm expecting a visitor" the man of the house who must have been Chaikillius said.
"Oh that's me I'm the visitor" the Doctor said shaking his hand.
"And you are" he asked?
"I am Spartacus" the Doctor said.
"And so am I" Donna said.
"As am I" I said getting the joke.
"Ah Mr. and Mrs. Spartacus and a little Spartacus as well" Chaikillius said.
"No we are not together" Donna and the Doctor told him.
"Wait little" I said but obviously he did not hear me.
"Oh well brother and sisters then of course the three of you look alike" he said. Donna, the Doctor and I looked at each other.
"Well I'm not open for trade today" the man said.
"Trade" the Doctor asked?
"You know marble" he said.
"Oh that's wonderful because I'm the marble inspector" the Doctor said flashing his psychic paper.
"Oh curse's how the gods have unexpectedly placed an inspection on us" the man's wife said.
"This is my wife Mentilla and my son Quintus" Chaikillius said pointing to his family members.
"No nothing to worry about of course that looks like wood to me" the Doctor said pointing to the Tardis in the middle of the room.
"I told you to get rid of that" Mentilla said.
"Well I'm sorry we're going to have to take it off your hands" the Doctor said.
"Of course I have to suggest that you and your family go on a nice holiday what do you think Spartacus" Donna asked the Doctor?
"I don't know what you mean Spartacus" the Doctor told Donna.
"Well don't you think they should get away because of the volcano" Donna said.
"What" the man asked?
"That huge volcano on your doorstep" Donna said.
"What" the man asked again?
"How do you not know what a volcano is-"
"Ah Sparatacus' how rude of us we haven't even greeted the household gods yet" The Doctor said interrupting me while steering me and Donna out of earshot.
"They don't have a word for volcano yet they learn it tomorrow when it happens" the Doctor whispered.
"Oh great they can learn a new word as they die" Donna said.
"Donna stop it" the Doctor said flicking water on the wall.
"Don't tell me to shut up that boy over there he's what 16 tomorrow he's going to burn to death" Donna said.
"And that's my fault" the Doctor said.
"It isn't if we save them" Donna said.
"Announcing Lucius Peterus Dextrus" one of the slaves inside the house said.
"Wow try saying that five times fast" I said as he walked in.
"Well this is Spartacus, Spartacus, and Spartacus" Chaikillius said pointing at us.
"A name is nothing but a cloud on a summer wind" Lucius said.
"But the wind is felt most clearly in the dark" the Doctor said. Donna and looked at each other having no clue what the heck they were saying.
"Ah but what is the dark other than an omen of the sun" Lucius said.
"I conceit that every sun must set, but then the son must also rise once the father is gone" The Doctor said pointing at Chaikillius and Quintus.
"Very clever sir" Lucius said.
"He's Celtic" I heard Chaikillius whisper to him.
"We'll just be over there" the Doctor said.
"I'm not going" Donna said as he pulled us towards the Tardis.
"But you have to" the Doctor said.
"But I'm not" Donna said.
"Come on Donna, I don't want to die so just listen to him so we can go" I whined. Then the Doctor stopped and turned around.
"Whoa where'd you get that" he asked?
"From the rain the sun and wind" Lucius said.
"That looks like a circuit" Donna said.
"And yet computers aren't meant to be created for another 2000 years" I said.
"No I created it. I saw it last night in a vision while I slept" Lucius said.
"Your telling me you created that in a dream what are you like the mayor" Donna asked him?
"Excuse my friend she's from Barcelona" the Doctor told everyone.
"He's like the town psychic" the Doctor explained to us.
"There laughing at us. Those three over there" I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around and saw this teenage girl.
"Forgive our daughter Melina she's been inhaling the fumes of the gods" Mentilla said.
"But can't you see she's sick" Quintus said.
"Not now Quintus" Chaikillius yelled at his son. I looked at her and saw she was really pale with bags under her eyes.
"She's to be accepted into the Sybilline sisterhood we've been told she has remarkable abilities" Mentilla said.
"The word of women is never as powerful as the prophecies of men" Lucius said. I gave him an evil glare.
"Why are you consuming the fumes" the Doctor asked Melina.
"They gave me strength" she said.
"Obviously not" I said.
"Is that what you learned from the Doctor" she said to me.
"What? How do you know who I am" the Doctor said.
"I have seen many things like you call yourself Noble, and you are called Darcy" Melina said to me and Donna.
"I'm so sorry" Mentilla said.
"No it's ok" the Doctor said.
"You three come from very far away" Melina said.
"Women are never as good as men" Lucius said.
"Oh but I think she just out prophecized you" I told him.
"Is that so then how do I know he is a man from Gallifrey. His city is consumed in fire and a message for him from the gods is that she is returning. And you Noble daughter of London you have something on your back, and you daughter of John Lightwood your life has been changed forever" Lucius told us. We all stood there completely shocked.
"The worst is yet to come Time Lord" Melina said and she fainted right there. Donna and I walked off to her room with Mentilla.
"She didn't mean to be rude. The Gods speak through her" Mentilla said unwrapping a scarf on Melina's arm while she slept.
"What's wrong with her arm" I asked her? Melinas skin was a weird grayish color on half of her right arm.
"Irritation of the skin, she never complains about it bless her, she said you three had come from far away tell me have you ever seen anything like it" Mentilla asked Donna and I. We both felt her skin.
"It feels like stone" Donna said.
"Is there any way you can fix it" Mentilla asked us.
"Sorry no" I told her.
"Well it's alright if there's anything you two need just call for me and I insist you change into these cloths" Mentilla said getting up and giving Donna and I some cloths then going to her room. I didn't want to be rude but I stayed in my comfortable jeans and tshirt while Donna changed.
"What do you think goddess of Venus" she told me and a now awake looking Melina.
"That's sac relige" Melina told Donna.
"So what do you do here in Pompeii do you go shopping got any girlfriends" I asked her?
"I'm sworn to the sisterhood my whole life which means I have no social life" she said.
"Do you get any choice in that" Donna asked her.
"No I was given the gift of sight and so I had to be in the sisterhood" she said.
"So what do you see tomorrow" Donna asked her? I looked at her knowing the Doctor would be pissed at her for asking.
"The sun will rise and set. Why is something special supposed to happen" she said.
"No" I lied but Donna went on and told her anyways while Melina covered her eyes which was quite weird and childish and if it was me I would have covered my ears if I didn't want to hear something.
"This is false" Melina said.
"No it's not I swear" Donna said.
"Look the truth is no one ever knows what going to happen tomorrow so believe what you want to believe" I told Melina.
"That is a lie also. I have the gift of sight" Melina said.
"Do you ever think it's just your really good at guessing" I said. Before she could answer there was a loud explosion in the living room of the house and we went to expect it.
"What was that noise" Mentilla asked?
"Everyone get out" the Doctor said running in the room.
"Doctor what is it" Donna asked?
"Just get out" he yelled again. Then the furnace exploded and out popped this lava monster. No one was moving.
"The God's are with us" Melina said.
"Darcy, Donna run I'll get the rest of them out" the Doctor said. It didn't take long for Donna and I to agree with him so we ran out of the house. But then we were picked up and carried somewhere. The people who took us where these women with same makeup as I saw on the woman who was following us earlier. They took us to a temple or something and held onto me while they strapped Donna down onto a table.
"You have got to be kidding me" Donna said as she one of the women held a knife over her.
"You will be silent" the one with the knife said.
"Listen sister you may have eye's on the back of your hands but you'll have them in the back of your head when you let me out" Donna said. I tried to struggle against them but these were strong chicks.
"You will be next" the one with the knife said as she pointed the knife at me.
"Oh really then why not just fight me huh I could take you. Come on you scared your going to get beat by 15 year old" I told her.
"Make these voice's cease forever" she said as she was about to stab Donna.
