A new Chapter. Finally. Longest one so far, and I seem to be typing a LOT more than I used to in my chappys. ENJOY!
Chapter 6: What about you?
Sophia was close to fainting. Close. Not quite there yet. Sophia, you're a Timelord, The Doctor's words echoed in her head.
"Sophia, why is Captain Jack here?" The Doctor asked.
"I- I called Torchwood, earlier, because last night I saw the Daleks in my dream… After you coming back to Earth, though."
"How did you do that thing, you were a guy, now you're a girl…?" Rory questioned.
"A trick I learned. I figured out how to make extra energy in my body, and I used it to change what I looked like. Made my entire body change. It's weird, and I only do that when I have to."
"When would you have to?" Amy joined the interrogation.
"Stop trying to get me to talk about stuff I don't wanna talk about!"
"Do you want to stay on the TARDIS?"
"Yes."
"Then answer the question!"
"Fine. If I had to live on the street again, and couldn't get any money, I'd steal food. I would break back in and leave money to make up for the food I stole, and the place I stole from would stop any police cases."
"What do you mean 'live on the streets again?" The Doctor pressed.
"I… I lost my home when I was ten. My mother went missing, never met dad, whom I'm guess is The Master. We didn't want to go to an orphanage, so we ran. Ten years old, traveling on our own, half-way around the world, finding other orphans and taking them with us, protecting them, feeding them, and finding them temporary shelter."
"Abigail and Raenef, are they two of the kids you found?" Rory inquired.
"Yes."
"Where are the others?" The Doctor took over.
"Found them homes. Some people who would take them in."
"What about you?"
"Me?"
Sophia wouldn't answer. She was still feeling lightheaded from what the Doctor said.
"Doctor."
The name was so familiar. She swore she knew someone named the Doctor that never looked like this generation. Who was he?
"Doctor."
Fire. She remembered fire and screaming, so much screaming, and a man. A man and a door.
"Doctor."
Running, running in a field of red grass all alone. So very, very lonely. Playing with imaginary friends. So alone.
"Doctor."
The man with the door in the field of fire. He asked her a question. "What about you?" "Me?"
"Doctor!"
Sophia was clutching her head in pain. Memories rushed around in her head. Memories she hardly recognized. She fell onto her knees, eyes scrunched shut in agony. Her breathing quickened to an alarming rate. The room- no, the world- felt like it was spinning around her.
"It is." Sophia gasped, opening her eyes to meet the Doctor's.
"Sophia, what's happening?"
"The world is spinning…"
"You need to tell me what's happening!"
"I can feel the Earth spinning… through the TARDIS."
"Tell me." The Doctor said calmly, mostly because he was shocked by what she had said. Sophia closed her eyes and relaxed as well as she could with the realization of the Earth's spinning.
"There's a little girl. She's running in a field of red grass. She's all by herself…" She said with great difficulty.
"You need to keep talking; I need to know what's happening."
"Now there's screaming. And fire, so much fire. The little girl is running, running from the fire. She has some people with her. Three other little girls, a boy and an older woman. They must be a family…"
"Keep going."
"It hurts. Doctor, it hurts." Tears started to run down Sophia's face.
"I know, but you have to keep going."
Taking a shaky breath, she continued, "They're running towards a man. A man and a door, but there's no building. The girl, she's begging him to get her family to safety, but he says he can't. Sh-she tells him to take them away to somewhere safe, but to leave her behind. H-he… He a-asked…"
"What about you. He asked the girl What about you and she said me." The Doctor finished for her. Sophia's eyes snapped open.
"H-how?"
"That man. Do you know who he is?"
Sophia opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't speak. Her eyelids started to flutter, and she let out breath she hadn't known she was holding. Everything went black.
"What did you do to her!" Drew shouted, running over to his sister's side.
"Nothing! I swear!"
"Why I oughta-!"
"Drew! Leave him alone! He didn't do anything!" Sydney yelled holding back her twin.
"Let go of me!"
"No! You're just gonna punch the Doctor!"
"Thank you… um?" The Doctor couldn't recall her name.
"Sydney."
"Thank you, Sydney!"
"You are SO not going to have that sleepover!" Drew yelled.
Sydney dropped her brother back onto the ground. Once he was on his feet, she knocked his feet out from under him.
"Really?"
"Yes."
This time when he got up, he wasn't knocked over. He sighed with satisfaction.
"What are we going to do with Sophia?" Captain Jack asked.
"Give her a temporary room to rest in. Her head will sort itself out."
The Doctor was starting on making her a temporary room, when Sydney and Drew interrupted his work.
"Can we design it?" Sydney asked, excited for a chance to show off her art skills.
"Why? Are you even sure she'll like it?"
"Trust us. We know all things Sophia!" Drew was excited to show everyone his decorating skills.
"Okay. If you're sure. She can always change it later anyways."
And so, the Dynamic Duo set off to work.
