Chapter eleven
Nine cautiously walked into the living room where everyone else was sitting around and casually chatting. The only really nervous one was Ten. He was pacing and glancing around, as if he was looking for the Radieren who had called them all for a "family meeting." Nine guessed Ten thought he was in trouble or for trying to escape or something like that.
"Alrighty folks!" The Radieren shouted happily as she appeared with a loud pop. "I know that time doesn't really pass here, but night comes and goes because you all seem to go to sleep. Anywho, we thought that it'd be nice if you had holidays! Like Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays and Valentine's Day! So to start off the holiday specials we are going to start with… Drum roll please?"
The Radieren looked happily at everyone who just stared at her in shock and confusion.
"What?" Ten asked, completely confused. He never really celebrated Holidays before.
"Yeah, we have a calendar and everything now, with dates and such for the Holidays…" The Radieren explained as she helped up a calendar. "Now, drum roll please!"
Slowly and quietly everyone made a soft drum roll, still looking slightly shocked.
"Halloween!" The Radieren announced and surprisingly Martha shot off the couch, doing a fist pump.
"Yes!" She shouted then looked around at everyone who was staring at her. "Oh um, hi."
She quickly sat back down and much to her relief everyone looked back at the Radieren.
"The décor is already up and you have to make it back to your rooms by walking through the haunted maze! Have fun," The Radieren smiled before disappearing with a loud pop, leaving everyone alone in the suddenly dimly lit room. Ten slowly got up and peered down the dark hallway to his room. He shrugged his shoulders and was about to simply walk down when Nine stopped him.
"You don't want to look weak if something really scary scares you in there and you come racing out, do you? We go as a team," Nine whispered and surprisingly Ten nodded his head in approval.
"Alright, Nine and I think we should all go down the hall together," Ten smiled happily.
"Yeah, okay that'll be good," Amy nodded her head as everyone got off the couch and walked toward the hallway. It was so dark you could barely see your hand in front of your face. Nine, Ten and Eleven walked in the lead. Slowly they moved forward, trying to make sure everyone could keep up and not get lost.
"Can you move any faster?" Donna hissed at them, causing Ten to jump a little at the sudden noise.
"Do you want anyone to get lost?" Eleven hissed back, he was tired of all her sass.
"Oooh," someone whispered from the back of the group and Donna shot them a death glare, not that it could be seen or anything. It was just a habit.
"We are moving slower than a snail," she fought back and a quite but deadly argument broke out between Eleven and Donna.
"We are moving kind of slow-" Nine was whispering to Eleven before there was a very familiar sound.
"Ex…ter….min…ate," the robotic voice sounded through the hall, causing everyone to fall silent.
"What?" Ten whispered quietly as he froze in his steps.
"Delete…Delete…"
"Not good," Martha whispered as the group moved closer together.
"Mummy…. Are you my Mummy?"
Most of the group was confused, all but the three Doctors, Rose and Jack. Rose instantly grabbed Nines hand and clung to him for dear live.
"She wouldn't," River growled quietly as she looked around, referring to the Radieren. That was when a light switched on about thirty feet down the hall to reveal a Weeping Angel.
"She would."
"Don't blink!" Someone shouted and everyone stared at the deadly statue.
"I know!" Most replied. That was when Jack felt like something was breathing down his neck. Slowly he gulped and turned around. The hallway was still dark which only made the growing fear in the pit of his stomach grow. He took a deep breath and took a small step forward. That was when the lights went on and staring him in the face, only three inches away, was a gas masked child. There was a loud girlish shriek and everyone turned around to see Jack backing away from the abnormally tall monster.
"Th-that scream w-wasn't me," Jack choked out while backing away.
"Sure," Nine sneered quietly while he too backed away with Rose. The child stood there occasionally cocking his head. His breathing was loud and heavy. Skin pale white. The scariest part though, was he said nothing.
"Guys?" Ten asked quietly, his voice cracking slightly in fear. "Who's looking at the statue?"
Amy let out a short scream as everyone turned around and of course, the weeping angel statue was closer.
"It got closer!" Donna gasped while pointing a finger at the cursed psychopath made of stone.
"Where has she been?" Rory asked quietly, gripping Amy's hand tightly.
"She hasn't met them," Ten replied. He then gulped. "Who's looking at the gas masked child?"
Everyone turned around again, only to see the child was holding it's hand out threateningly.
"The statue!" Someone shouted and they all turned to look at the angel again, which was closer. Of course. "The child!"
"Amy, Rory and Donna!" River shouted. "Stare at the statue! Martha, Eleven and Jack stare at the child!"
Everyone who was instructed to do something did as they were told while River got everyone else into the middle of the small circle they formed.
"We need an escape plan," she stated, trying to keep her voice calm and steady.
"What's that grinding noise?" Nine questioned as he looked around the room. "Oh, the wall just fell away… we could use that as the escape plan."
"You don't say sweetie," River stated sarcastically. "Okay, Amy, Rory, Donna, Martha, Eleven and Jack, back away slowly towards us, at the last moment we will drag you into the hall and we will all run. Everyone understand?"
"Yes," everyone stated firmly and started backing up. They ran down the hall, occasionally glancing behind them.
"Wait," River held out a hand as they came to a cross road. Three different ways to go, other than going back. One forward, one to the left and one to the right. "Forward."
Slowly the group inched forward, until that is, another gas masked child appeared in the middle of the group with a huge flashing light. The group split into four. Jack and Donna running down the left and River, Eleven, Amy and Rory running down the right. Ten raced back down the hall and had reached for Rose, only to see she was already running forward, her hand intertwined with Nines. Both of them kept close. He ignored the pain in his chest and kept running, this time getting his hand grabbed by Martha.
"Wait," Ten stated as he stopped and looked around. It was dark, they were alone, and they were both terrified.
"We split up…" Martha whispered, horrified by the mere thought.
"We need to get to our rooms, we can only assume the others can get to their rooms as well," Ten whispered quietly as he squeezed Martha's hand. She nodded her head and hugged his arm before they both started walking down the dark hall.
**Break line!**
Eleven leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. He had barely enough time to make sure River and Amy made it were with him before he had started running.
"Eleven," River sighed with relief as she grabbed him by the bowtie and kissed him firmly, making him practically melt. "We must not be there yet."
"He sure looks like he likes it though," Amy commented as Eleven sunk against the wall, a goofy smile across his face.
"This is Halloween! Not Valentine's day," The Radieren complained when she appeared with a loud pop, causing everyone to jump. "But seeing as you were all scared witless I'm stopping the maze right here."
She clapped her fingers and everyone appeared in the same hallway, the light wonderfully filling everything. The sight before them however was very, very strange indeed. Donna and Jack where hugging each other, sitting on the floor and screaming. Nine had Rose behind his back, his chest puffed out bravely, almost like he was defending her from something. Ten and Martha were holding hands, walking and chatting quietly.
"Oh… is this another illusion Doctor?" Martha asked quietly in the same tone she had been speaking in.
"No I don't think it is," Ten stated while shaking his head. "This is most likely, probably real. We better make sure though."
Ten walked up to the Radieren and suddenly slapped her across the cheek, causing everyone( except Donna and Jack who were too busy screaming.) to gasp in shock.
"Yup!" He stated while popping the P, his eyes dark with anger. "It's real. I'm going to bed, goodnight. Pleasant dreams."
He quickly turned away from the Radieren and walked off, Martha trailing close behind.
"Someone stop their screaming," River finally sighed while crossing her arms.
"My pleasure!" Nine shouted happily and raced over to the two. "Hey! Love birds, it's over."
Jack and Donna slowly stopped screaming and looked up, their eyes wide. Jack quickly let go of Donna and backed away from her… or tried to, she still held onto him.
"Okay, maybe just trick or treating for next year…" The Radieren stated while rubbing her cheek and looking after where Martha and Ten had left. "Maybe it was a little too scary."
"Ya think!" Donna suddenly shouted and jumped off of Jack who scrambled off the floor.
"I'm sorry! Next is Christmas! And you weren't in any real danger, all of those were pretend," The Radieren assured her and disappeared with a loud pop.
"I'm going to bed," Donna growled and stormed off, grabbed Jacks hand and yanking him with her.
"Doct-Nine?" Rose questioned as she quietly walked up to him. "C-can you walk me t-to my room?"
"Of course," he smiled, wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her off. Amy and Rory and already disappeared after Ten, not wanting to make a scene.
"W-well i-I'm going t-to bed," Eleven stuttered as he backed away from River who had a mischievous glint in her eye. "A-are you coming?"
"You can bet your bow tie on it sweetie," River smiled as she and Eleven walked down the hall, arm in arm. Yes, it had been a terrifying experience and none of them wanted it repeated(Including the Radieren.) But they would look back on it and of course, they would laugh. Everyone needed a good scare once in a while. And who knows? Maybe it brought soon to be couples closer.
