Chapter 3: Inside the TARDIS

"Cee Vinson."

Cee sat, frozen on the spot. Blood pounding in her ears. Just when she was about to walk up onto the platform, a man ran up behind her and was yelling something but she couldn't make it out. Her head was too fuzzy to even think, or eat, or breathe…

. . .

When Cee woke up she felt a strange buzzing in her ears and her vision was all out of sorts. Then she realized there was no point to staying awake so she slowly drifted off to sleep… Or she would've if a strange voice wouldn't have interrupted her.

"So, did we enjoy our little nap?"

A strange man walked into the room. Not her room, that's for sure. A nice room with pink walls and silk bedspreads. And the man. That was the same man that had yelled at the spirit. He was smiling at her.

"Who are you? And where am I?" Cee asked, cautious yet ferocious at the same time.

"Ohh, I'm the Doctor and you are on the TARDIS. And I know who you are, Cee Vinson, and I'm here to save you." He said confidently, as if it was a fact.

She wanted to say 'What's a TARDIS? I want to go home!' but she just nodded her head.

"Glad you understand, now…" He was interrupted by a red-haired woman who had just entered the room.

"Doctor, we need to get out of here, the crowds are getting hard to control and Rory is not doing a very good job holding them off." She said to him, a hint of worry just slightly visible in her voice.

"Amy, give me five minutes." He replied, sounding annoyed.

Amy rolled her eyes and walked back out of the room.

"Don't mind her; she's just annoyed there's another girl on the ship." The Doctor joked. "Now are you okay?"

"Yeah, just a little shaken," Cee said. "Now what happened after I passed out?"

"Well, that might take a while…"

"Doctor, Tell me. I deserve to know." She said firmly.

"Okay, fine." He replied, suddenly a bit annoyed with her too. "When you were called, I finally realized what was happening. That 'spirit' of yours, it's draining peoples' life sources. I'm not sure exactly what it is yet but I'm going to find out, ok? Anyway, after you passed out, it caused a great big thing, so we were able to sneak you out easily. Then we brought you back to the TARDIS, and she must like you because she made this nice bedroom, and you've been sleeping ever since. Although some people are starting to get restless and are trying to find you. Rory tried, is trying, to hold them off but it's not working. So we have to get you home as soon as possible. There. The whole story. Can I leave now?"

Cee nodded.

"But one more thing," she added. "What ever happened to the spirit?"

The Doctor looked at her for a second, then left.

. . .

Cee sat there for a second, wondering what to think. Then she stood up and walked out of the bedroom. She walked down the hallway and into a big room with metallic walls and a big thing in the middle of it. And there in the center of it all was the Doctor, pressing buttons and flicking switches like it was nobody's business. Then the floor jolted underneath them, and she had to grab on to a chair behind her. Then it all stopped.

The Doctor took hold of Cee's hand and led her outside. But it wasn't outside anymore. It was her room, her real room, not the one on the TARDIS. She smiled and walked to over her bed. The Doctor slowly walked backwards into the TARDIS and shut the door. Cee turned around at the sound but she was too late. The TARDIS was disappearing right before her eyes. She yelled with fright and her mother ran startled into her room. She looked at Cee and wondered what had happened because she had not seen the TARDIS. The TARDIS was already gone.

Cee flopped back on her bed and cried.
