Chapter Twenty One

There's a Crack in my Bedroom Wall.

Rory had never seen the Doctor so upset. He was pacing furiously around the room, muttering angrily, running frustrated hands through his hair. He was sure he could see a tiny glimmer of tears protruding from the Timelord's eyes.

He knew the Doctor missed Amy. He obviously needed her. Rory reached and stopped him pacing for a second, "Go back for her." He said calmly.

The Doctor blinked, "What?" he said, dazed.

"Amy. Go back for her, you need her with you."

The Doctor shook his head, "I'm not risking her life even more here." He said furiously, turning back around and beginning to pace again.

He knew Rory was right. He needed Amy back.

DWDWDWDW

Amy sat on the sofa in her lounge, head in hands. She hoped and prayed that the Doctor wasn't going to leave her here. If he did she would have a long wait.

Fresh tears spilled out her eyes as she thought of him. His crazy hair, his stupid bow tie, his infectious grin.

She rubbed her eyes furiously and looked up again, surprised when a small light seemed to be in the centre of her vision.

Thinking it was just a reflection, she turned her head, only for the speck of white light to follow. She got up and tried to go to the light, but it just kept getting further away…almost as if…

It was in her eyes.

She squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again. The light was still there, bigger. It seemed to be growing, a shape forming out of it…

A shape that looked like…

An agonising pain shot through her head, as if her mind was being torn apart, and she gasped, clutching her head. She fell to her knees, her eyes tightly shut, clenching her fists against her forehead. The bright light didn't go away even when she closed her eyes. It was there, bigger. The crack in her bedroom wall, in her mind.

And suddenly she felt as if she was being eaten away. Her memories were being wiped, quicker and quicker, this time she could actually feel it. She could feel them sliding away and god knows where they were going. Faster faster…

The pain was more excruciating and a swampy feeling clouded her head. She fought to keep conscious but failed…falling…falling…falling…into a dream.

DWDWDWDW

The Doctor finally forced himself to go out the room. He needed to find the Dream Lord, but that seemed impossible considering he could snap his fingers and disappear. Where the hell would he be? In some secret lair, waiting? The Doctor doubted it.

Perhaps…

He raced towards the room where the TARDIS stood, fumbling for his key and thrusting the door open, Rory close behind feeling confused.

He ran up to the monitor and grabbed the screen, typing furiously.

A picture of different rooms of the TARDIS cropped up, too many to cram onto one screen. The Doctor scoured through different rooms and finally found one, pointing at it and exclaiming "There!"

He rushed off underneath the control panel and Rory took a peek at the screen.

A figure was there. Black hair straggling out of a tight black mask and two bright blue eyes staring through the holes in the mask. Christina.

The Doctor came up with some weird object, that looked very much like an old fashioned joystick used to play car games on the computer. It had large red wires attached to it and some strange electricity stick at the end of the wires. He plugged this into the monitor and suddenly, on the screen, the Doctor appeared next to the figure as a flickering hologram.

"Christina's double, I believe." He said darkly.

The figure looked at him, startled, knowing there was nowhere to run. All the doors disappeared around her as the TARDIS began to defend the Doctor. "I suppose so." She said, confidently.

Rory watched as the Doctor tipped his head on one side.

"I have to tell you now I'm not a man who gives second chances, so tell me now where is he."

Christina's double pulled off the black mask and a smile wiped across her face. "As if I'd tell you, Doctor." She said.

The Doctor breathed in heavily, looking straight into her eyes, "I know who he is." He said. Christina's smile fell from her face in an instant, worry springing into her eyes. "So tell me. Where is he?" the Doctor continued, glad this had had an effect on her.

Christina took a step back, slamming into a cold hard wall.

"I…I…don't tell him I told you. I'll be killed. He's…on the other side of the crack in your companions wall. He's been hiding there…"

The Doctor smiled, nodding, "Thank you. The TARDIS will make sure you get out somewhere. So go, now, before I change my mind."

Christina's double could hear the darkness in his voice, and fled, suddenly appearing at the top of the stairs near Rory. She took a terrified glance at him, headed for the door and ran out to wherever the TARDIS had landed.

The door slammed shut behind her and the Doctor returned, unplugging the strange device. "That went well!" he said brighter than he felt.

He punched in the code for Leadworth silently, not showing Rory how worried he was.

The chapters seem to be getting shorter don't they? :L

Review! ;D pwetty pwease! I'm nearly at the one hundred mark! :O :O :O
