Chapter 9
Everything around me seemed to slow down. The room suddenly seemed cramped. Didn't see this coming did you? I thought to myself sarcastically.
"Uh… W-what?" I stuttered in shock. What did he mean the Doctor's companion? He smiled and looked at me with his pure black eyes. I have to get out of here. Before he could do anything else, I swung my leg between both of his. As he fell in pain I turned and ran to the door. Once out of the room, I found James staring at me confused. I slammed the door, kicked off my black heels, grabbed James' hand and ran down the hall.
As we ran, we turned down the hall to the left and sprinted up some stairs. He began to slow down and I forgot that I wasn't with the Doctor, so I slowed to a fast pace for him.
"Where are we going?!" he yelled. I let go of his hand and began looking down hallways to make sure no one saw the two of us. Once it was all clear I turned to James.
"I'm so sorry, but I promise you that everything will be fine. I just need to find the Doctor and tell him what is really going on here." I began as I recuperated. "I also need to get you away from me. I'm their target so you should go find your mother and leave. Act like you never saw me or heard anything about me. Can you do that for me?"
"What?" James asked. I found an empty room and escorted us into the room. The room wasn't dark; the only thing that gave the room light was from the moon outside the window. The room had two sofas, an arm chair, and a few bookcases. We sat down on one of the sofas and I decided to explain to him the situation.
"Well, I thought it was odd that they would have told us who they were going after. I mean, who announces to the world who they're going to assassinate? But then one of them tells me who they are really after, because surprise, it's me!" I waved my hands in the air sarcastically. I sighed and continued, "So basically I need to get out of here, and the safest place to be in the Tar- I mean my friends home, vehicle, thing…" I twirled my thumbs around each other. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked over to see James smiling in a way of comforting me.
"Well," he began, "I'm not going to leave you. I can help you."
"What? But you can't, didn't you hear me before? You are in danger, if you stay with me."
"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." He smiled at me.
"Did you just quote Albert Einstein?" he nodded. I sighed knowing this wouldn't go anywhere. I smiled lightly and stood up.
"Alright kid, let's go find us a Doctor."
~O~
We were able to make it outside unnoticed and found bushes near the entrance of the palace. While we hid in some bushes just outside of the Buckingham Palace, we watched as people left in a hurry. Some families were being escorted be security others were waiting for a car to pick them up. There I saw the wife and son of the Whitman family being escorted into a car by security. I felt relief wash over me. At least they got out alright.
Off to the side I saw someone who was leaving that I thought was the Doctor, and then realized it wasn't him. I then saw a woman near the gates looking around worried. She had dark brown hair, her dress was a low cut pale pink and she looked really thin. Her body wasn't that thin. But her face seemed so thin that it made her look twice her age. Obviously she looked twice her age because of how much makeup she had on her face. She was probably a drug addict.
"I wonder what has happened…" I whispered wondering who she was looking for.
"That is my mother." He said dryly. I looked at him and saw his face. It's a face that looked familiar and yet I would never think to see on a kid. His face was full of obvious hatred for the woman. I looked at him concerned. I decided not to talk about it at the moment. I put my hand in his shoulder and gave a small smile.
"She is your mother you know. Take it from me and appreciate the time you have with her." I thought about my mother. I never met her and wish I had, but I could never ask the Doctor to go back in time for me to meet her. Especially not after the incident with Rose and her father.
James stayed quiet and didn't respond to what I had said. After a few seconds of silence, I saw an opening for us to leave the premises, so I took it. I grabbed James' hand and ran off the property. The cold air smacked across my face as I ran. My blue dress was getting in the way so I had to hold it up by my free hand. We ran down the streets of London trying to find the way to the park where the Doctor and I had appeared.
After a while of running, James and I slowed down to a walk trying to catch our breaths. I finally found out where I was and which direction I needed to go. James walked beside me but didn't say a word the whole way to the park.
The park had a path that would take me to the TARDIS. The lamp posts where the only light that lit the dark cold park. Hide Park didn't look that different from the future. Except that I couldn't see all of it because it was dark. Anyway, I felt uneasy walking into the park in the dark. Maybe it was because it was dark or cold or I have seen this scene from a movie. The girl walks into the dark cold park. The wind picks up and she would begin to hear sounds. Then she would end up being killed by a psychotic man who was just waiting for her in the bushes.
However, it seemed too easy. I just got away without any serious problems. What if they wanted me out here in the park? Perfect place to kill someone. If that were true, then I really needed to get to the TARDIS.
"Come on James, we need to hurry." I said as we entered the park. The walk seemed to take forever. James and I both walked in the park. I looked down at him but he didn't appear to be afraid. If he was, he never presented it on his face.
As we walked I heard a stick break. I quickly turned around to see no one there. Yup. I'm going to die like those women from the movies. Some crazy man is ganna jump out of some bushes and kill me. I sighed and hoped it was just my imagination. I kept walking and listening to every sound. The air seemed to get colder as we walked closer to the TARDIS. That's when I swear I heard my name being called.
"What?" I whispered. I stopped and looked around only seeing James standing there looking at me confused.
"What? Did you hear something?" James looked around as well.
"I swore I heard my name being called, but it was probably nothing." Just as I said that the voice grew a bit louder.
"Alex!" the voice yelled. It seemed far away and then I saw who it was running towards us.
"Wha- but, What? How did he…?" I trailed off. Off in the distance from the direction we came from, was a man in a blue bowtie running to James and my position. Soon something came falling out of the tree. It was a Snoelemahc, it looked like it was the same one that tried to capture me earlier. He stomped up to me and I pushed James into some bushes.
"Run James! And don't look back!" I screamed at him hoping he listened. I heard wresting in the bushes and hoped it was him escaping. Another one came out of the tree; he turned to go after James. The first one told him to leave him because they already had me.
I tried to swing my fist at the first one but the second one grabbed my arms and pinned them behind my back to make sure I couldn't escape. I swallowed hard and my heart picked up its pace. As the Doctor got closer he saw what was going on and ran even faster. The first one pulled out a long dagger. The blade was black but the sharp part of the blade was silver. Fear began to rise inside of me.
"Don't. You. Dare." The Doctor said bitterly, and was only about a few meters away. I watched him as my arms were pinned. The one with the blade smiled wickedly and turned to the Doctor.
"And what will you do, Doctor, if I do it? Hm?" his words poured out like poison. The Doctor straightened his suit and glared at him.
"You really, don't want to know." He said icily. I could see the tension rising. Another one fell from the tree and held a gun like thing. He pointed it to the Doctor and shot it at him. I flew the Doctor away and to the ground.
"Ah but Doctor," he smiled and turned back to me, "Oh I REALLY do." As he said that, he pulled back his blade and shoved it through me. He pulled it out and they let go of me. I fell to the ground in unbearable pain trying to breathe. I heard the Doctor scream and the Snoelemahc disappeared by a transport. The Doctor scrambled towards me and turned me so that I was lying on my back.
"Everything will be alright, Knight." His faced was in complete horror but he was trying to hide it behind a small smile. But of course I knew better.
"Because…you're a," I coughed, "Doctor, Right?" I laughed a little and coughed at the same time, trying to lighten the mood.
"Hey don't laugh. You're injured." He seemed to actually smile a little bit. But soon it disappeared as he looked at my wound. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and scanned me. I felt so tired and began to feel cold. My eyes began to shut.
"Oi! No sleeping." He tapped my face a little and my eyes wouldn't listen.
"Doctor… it's not your fault…" I began. "Just promise me one thing. Please…" I began to tear up. "Don't travel alone." Those were the last word before darkness was the only thing I saw.
