Author's Note: Sorry about another long break, college hit harder than I thought. If I'm being honest with you guys, there won't be another update until Thanksgiving break.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN DOCTOR WHO! Yet...
Sarah had spent the last year with James and Jayne. Thankfully she was old enough that she didn't need any schooling and was able to get a job. She occasionally ran into that mean old woman who always gave her dirty looks. Though Sarah knew it was weird, a young girl living with a couple that wasn't her parents.
"Hello Diane, nice to see you today." Sarah chirped from behind the grocery store counter. "Just looking to fill up for the week?"
Diane nodded and let Deborah run over. "Hello, Miss Faraday! I'm 10 today!" She happily squeaked.
"Well a very happy birthday to you, Miss Deborah. Have a candy bar, my treat." Sarah winked at the child before she turned to help the next customer. The child ran back to her mother giggling.
"Goodnight Sarah, lock up for me will ya?" Sarah's boss, Mr. Roberts said, as he walked out the door.
"Of course she will. My girl is responsible." James said as he walked in the doors.
"Yeah, so responsible that he won't let me walk home alone." Sarah laughed. "Goodnight Mr. Roberts."
After Sarah locked up the pair walked down the street and Sarah sighed. "I love living with you and Jayne but I wish that we could be home."
James hugged his best friend. "This is your home," He pauseed "for a while at least. I just hope that when you meet the young Mr. and Mrs. Jones that they are kind to you."
Sarah punched James on the arm. "Stop it you old sap. You sound like my dad. Whatever the fuck happened to us being best friends?"
James nudged her. "I aged and you didn't. That's what happened." He tripped over the curb and quickly regained his balance.
Sarah laughed at her friends. "Well I'm glad you never got over your habit of meeting the ground with your face!"
James groaned. "I will tell Jayne that you were battering your elders."
Sarah pouted. "You can't call yourself my elder if you're gonna tattle on me. Don't be a bitch about it."
A voice spoke from the shadows. "What did I hear you say young lady? You better not have cursed at my husband."
The pair jumped. "I'm sorry Jayne. He was just being a brat." James chuckles and pokes Sarah's side.
"Don't you think I didn't see you aggravating her Mister. You both get your rumps in my house this instant before y'all are both in hot water."
"Yes ma'am." They chorused as they walked inside the house, giggling.
Sarah smiled and thought to herself, "Maybe staying here for longer won't be so bad. I love James and Jayne and I'm tired just thinking about jumping back in time again." Of course the second Sarah decided that she wanted to stay put a Weeping Angel showed up.
Around midnight there was a faint crashing sound and a few minutes later someone knocked on the front door. Sarah could hear James groggily talking to someone, but Jayne won't let her get close enough to hear anything specific. "James'll let me have it if you get involved in some sort of nonsense Missy, you're gonna stay back here with me."
James shut the door and walked over to Sarah and Jayne. "Apparently something has happened to Abigail McComb. Her mom said she heard a crash in the kitchen and Abigail is missing from her bed." James sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "I don't like the fact that a little kid is missing, we should help look."
Jane nodded and Sarah said, "Poor Mrs. McComb, do you think something happened to Abigail?"
"I'm not sure, let's just go help Mrs. McComb and her husband look. Abigail couldn't have gotten far." Everyone had a flashlight and was calling Abigail's name. The beams of night cast freaky shadows over everything, but one shadow in particular nearly stopped Sarah's heart.
"James! Jayne! I need your help over here!" Sarah called as she stared face to face with the stone monster.
Her adopted parents ran over and James skidded to a stop, never taking his eyes off the monster. Jayne, having never seen a Weeping Angel before, looked at the frozen pair. "What is it? Guys, we need to be looking, we don't have time for a statue."
"Momma Jayne, you need to keep your eyes on it. This is a Weeping Angel and you need to keep your eyes on it or we're in trouble."
"Sarah, I think it's time for you to go back." Sarah heard the sadness in James' voice as he spoke.
"James this is silly. Sarah is allowed to help us look for Abigail." She attempted to pull him away from the statue, but he pushed her off. "James! Why is God's name did you do that?!"
"Jayne, hush and stare at the statue. Sarah, isn't going back to the house, she's gonna leave us for good. You best say your goodbyes and we nobody is gonna find Abigail for the same reason." James walked closer to his best friend without taking his eyes off of the Weeping Angel. "Are you ready Sarah?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her. "It's been good knowing you, go easy on me when you see me again, I was all sorts of confused before you found me."
Sarah sniffed. "I don't wanna go James. I love living here with you and Jayne. I like working at the Grocery Store, I love seeing Diane and Deborah."
James sniffed. "I know Sarah, but you'll see me again, I promise." He laughed. "Just remember to tell me all about the Weeping Angels, and have fun. If I remember correctly we meet at the best party ever."
Teehee, that 10 quote just fit so perfectly there I had to!
