Olivia woke up in a daze. The previous day had been a whirlwind of report writing and essay marking. Glancing around her bedroom, she rubbed her eyes and got out of bed. She lived in a small dormitory at the school she taught at; Whitwicks College. It was rather cosy, only a desk and chair combo in the corner and a small lightbulb wired into the ceiling, providing a small amount of light. There was a satchel bag that was placed neatly on the chair and a few textbooks and children's drawings scattered around the desk. A knocking on the door brought Olivia back to reality.
"Come in," she said, covering her mouth as she yawned. A young student, probably no older than eleven, walked into the room with a small note. Her ginger hair was in two pigtails and green eyes shined through thick-rimmed glasses.
"Liv, the teachers are all taking a day off today," she said, "I don't know why...are you going to have a break today too? Even some of the students are leaving for a long weekend."
"Probably not, Holly," Olivia sighed, "I might have a little fun day with my students. Did you want to join? Your teacher is off anyway, so why not?"
"I might, because of the whole disappearing teacher act," Holly paused for a bit, a grin gracing her face, "Oh, and I want to see how my big sister teaches."
Olivia smiled and checked the clock. It was five-thirty; too early to prepare the classroom."Meet me in the teacher's lounge at seven," Olivia stated, "You're gonna get some early work experience."
The younger sibling left and Olivia was alone again. She decided to get ready and took her clothes to the shared bathroom in the teachers' block. It was better kept than the students' bathroom, but that was because of the mass amount of neat freaks, including Olivia, who didn't like showering in dirty areas. The entire school was quiet and sounded like it was deserted, save for a few early students. Olivia had a look around the building and got ready for the day coming.
She checked herself in the mirror and turned around a bit. Red hair framed her face brushing the tops of shoulders. There was no specific uniform for teachers and staff, so Olivia decided to wear a white summer dress with a light cardigan, seeing as the weather wasn't too cold, but it wasn't summer yet. In other words, she looked like a regular 21-year-old.
Satisfied, she walked out the doors and made her way to the teachers' lounge half an hour early. After seeing her little sister sitting cross-legged on the fluffy carpet with a mug of hot chocolate in her hand, Olivia laughed and slid the glass door open.
"Looks like someone's having fu-" She stopped halfway when she saw a man at the coffee machine. No one was usually up this early and no other teachers were meant to be around, "And you are…?"
The man turned around with a happy grin plastered on his face. He wore a blue pin-striped suit and a beige trench coat over it. His brown hair was slightly spiky at the front, having that little bit of style and he donned a pair of red Converses.
"Oh, I'm John Smith, a temporary teacher here," he replied, "Holly's been telling me about you, Miss Lancaster. May I join you in teaching the remaining students in the school?"
"That would be great help, thanks," Olivia grinned, but held back slightly, as this man was a complete stranger to her, "seeing as the students here-" she took the time to glare playfully at Holly "-can be a bit of a handful." John smiled brightly and joined the siblings as they had breakfast in the lounge, sitting on beanbags and cushions.
"Pass the milk!"
"Say please, Holly."
"Please?! Now can I have the milk?"
"…is this how you usually interact?"
"Yes! Get used to it!" The arguments were light-hearted as they giggled and laughed all the way until seven-thirty, when they left for Olivia's class. They put up an announcement on the PA systems before they left.
-X-
"ALL REMAINING STUDENTS OF WHITWICKS COLLEGE MUST MAKE THEIR WAY TO CLASS 7-B IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL BLOCK! YOU GOT THAT?! THANK YOU!" Holly yelled into the microphone. She took a quick glance over at the two adults, who put up a quick thumbs-up.
"Did I do alright?" she asked as switched off the PA system. Olivia shook her head with mirth and John grinned.
-X-
Holly grinned at the memory and went on ahead to sprint to the class. Olivia and John hung back a little as they walked through the hallways leading to the aforementioned room.
"Before we actually start the class, do you have any qualifications or proof of being an actual teacher?" she asked, realising she probably should have asked earlier. It was a valid question as the disappearance of all the teachers - sans Olivia and 'Mr Smith' - was very surprising and sudden. Olivia had heard some rumours floating around about alien invasions, but she never paid much attention to those things; keeping her job and taking care of her sister was more important. If there was an invasion, why would they make their appearance so obvious and kidnap so many people? And why was it so sudden? These were the thoughts that circled her back of her mind at that time.
John showed a small wallet with a piece of paper on it. Olivia looked at it closely and squinted when she saw the moving blurred words. It reminded her of those visual illusion things that looked like they were moving when you looked at them.
"I can't see anything," she concluded, crossing her arms.
"You just have to look closer!" he insisted. Olivia shook her head.
"I'm not one to fall for these sorts of things," she stated, "What is it? Psychic?" No other words were uttered as the duo reached the classroom door. Olivia opened it up and saw a very small group of children. There was Holly, another two girls from seventh grade, two boys from junior year and another sophomore boy. Not very many people at all.
"Where'd everyone go?" she asked and checked for more people around the class. Of course there were others; one timid girl in her freshman year and another from first grade. They were hiding under the desk, like little animals frightened by a huge fanged predator.
"Hello there," Olivia smiled and held out a hand to pull them up, "I'm Miss Lancaster, a teacher from senior school. May I ask why you two are hiding?" The two girls shook their head in unison and shuffled back further behind the desk.
"Sorry, miss. It's the wolf, miss; the big, bad wolf," they chorused in unison as though in a trance. A frown flitted across John's face at the mention of 'bad wolf' but returned back to his original expression when Olivia took a quick glance over at him.
A few boys walked through the doorway and into the class. The first thing Olivia noticed was that their eyes were glassy and their irises were coloured black with celestial patterns swirling around.
"The big bad wolf, Miss Lancaster, Doctor, be very afraid of the big, bad wolf." Holly ran over to Olivia as the remaining people in the class turned to the trio and chanted 'bad wolf'. They inched back, ever so slowly, until the zombie-like people got too close. John turned back first and high-tailed it out.
"Come on ladies!" he called, gesturing for the siblings to follow him. Olivia didn't know why, but that man was suspicious, but in the face of a potentially dangerous situation with her sister nearby, she would trust anyone who wasn't immediately dangerous.
She swiftly locked the door behind her after Holly jetted out of the classroom as quick as a fox. Well actually, her hair was already red, so half of the job was already done. They ran through several corridors and dodged incoming unidentifiable flying objects.
"Just who are you?" Olivia screamed at the mysterious man, as she dashed after him with Holly in tow, "You can't be John Smith; anyone who wants to impersonate another person would use that name; it's too common! Plus, you don't even look like a John Smith kind of person!"
"Fine, I'm not John Smith! I'm the Doctor, and before you even ask 'Doctor WHO?', it's just the Doctor! I'm a Time Lord from the planet of Gallifrey, anything else you want to know?" the man yelled back.
They arrived at the entrance of the school where a man was waiting in front of the doorway.
"Well, well… who do we have here?" he smirked, well it looked like he was smirking because of the tone in his voice; a bright orange mask covered the majority of his face. Short black hair stuck up from behind said mask and the man wore a black cloak with red clouds on it. Holly instantly recognised the character.
"You're Tobi-slash-Madara, well not really….I think you're Obito, but it's only sort of only been touched on in the manga. But to the point, YOU'RE FROM NARUTO!" she exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger. She was shaking slightly, her eyes wide and fearful, so Olivia could've only guessed that Tobi, or whatever his name was… isn't a good guy.
"Ah, someone knows me," Tobi said, amused as he raised his hands and formed a stance with his hands. It looked to Olivia like something from one of those cheesy martial arts films.
"Why are you here?" the Doctor asked, "If you are from a so-called comic, why and how have you came to this world?"
"Investigating already… We can't have that…" Tobi murmured, "How about I send you back in time to stop you prying into my plans? That could be fun. And I know about your time-travel machine; you're not going to be seeing that for a while. It will be very useful to my cause. Thank you for that."
"You won't be able to get in," the Doctor stated somewhat smugly, "Many armies have tried and they can't knock down that door. What makes you think you can get in?"
"I'll dispose of it if I cannot get through." Tobi said casually.
At this point, Olivia was thoroughly confused at the mention of a time-machine on top of everything else and Holly still hadn't moved since seeing the evil Manga character, still terrified. "Hang on, what?!" Olivia exclaimed, she was so far out of her depth at this point, she was a teacher; this wasn't part of her job description but she was determined to get some sort of explanation. This caused both men to look at her. "You're a fictional character and you've got a time machine. How is that even possible?"
"Too many questions; say goodbye to this world, for this will be your last look at it," said the masked man, "And don't worry about the students; they will be returned to normal. They will forget everything including you three. No one will think to look for you. Goodnight." Tobi made quick hand movements and the world turned black for the trio.
A/N: Ahhh! This is my first chapter of a story I have been working on! I don't know whether this is up to scratch with your standards, but I have tried to at least get spelling and grammar right... I will get a beta to look at this. If you are willing to help with this, I know it may not be the best story, but I have tried. I've got about another three chapters, but I'll wait a while until I update this. For now, enjoy!
EDIT: Beta-ed! :) Hope it sounds better! :D
