13. Back to Waiting
"They left!" Mariana ranted to the T.A.R.D.I.S. using her British accent. "I cannot believe they honestly left-they had the keys with them! Why on Earth would Sally leave running like a panicky young child?" Sally Sparrow was taking the weeping angel attack like a champ until the fear finally got to her. Sparrow ran away in terror, leaving Talitha Blackwell no choice but to follow her. Mariana stopped pacing and tore off her glasses. She pressed the bridge of her nose and exhaled.
Tardis gave her a sympathetic hum.
What a ridiculous ending to that part, Mariana was frustrated at how salvation was right there for Sally. I hope they're okay, though. She had never been a fan of Doctor Who, so she barely remembered the details of this episode. There were some videos, she recalled, and she knew what weeping angels were and how they worked as 'killers'. Other than that, this was all a new experience to her.
"Do you believe they'll be alright, Tardis?" she asked, emotionally deflated.
No answer.
"So, I'll have to wait and see" Mariana started another decade of her rosary. Really, this is...not even her mind had a word for it. Fine, I'll wait some more. "Do you mind if I simply wait in this room, Tardis?"
"Tardis was alright with it, so she settled under a terminal and laid around on her back. She felt tired, plain and simple. After a while, she must have dozed off, for she woke up later, and she could have sworn the air was just a little more comfortable. Her lips curved into a little smile.
"Thank you," she breathed, and closed her eyes again after checking a monitor. The last thing she remembered wondering about was whether or not Alexandra was having fun. She was the real Whovian, so hopefully she meets her favorite characters...
