"Right then Sarah!" The doctor grinned "Where to next?"
"Oh! I don't know, probably some lost moon of Poosh" She replied grumpily.
"Oh no, I've been there, it's terribly boring" He answered "Come on Sarah!"
Suddenly, the TARDIS shook. Sarah Jane flew off her chair onto the hard ground. The doctor held tight onto the console and pressed a few buttons and the vehicle stabilised.
"What on Earth was that!?" Sarah Jane asked, now climbing up off the floor and grabbing hold of the console.
"Err… Sarah" He pointed at the chair that Sarah was once sat on, now behind her.
"What is it?" She turned around and froze in fear. A tiny clown doll was sat, staring deep into Sarah's eyes. The doctor walked around the console to Sarah and stood in front of her, blocking her view of the clown.
"Sarah! Are you alright?" He asked with his hands on her shoulders, trying to comfort her.
"Yes… yes, I'm fine" She let out a fake smile, but the doctor could tell she was lying.
"Now, Sarah… your not scared of clowns?" He asked, Sarah didn't reply. The doctor walked behind the Clown and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. Sarah walked to the other side of the console, for safety. The eyes followed her around the room, she just thought it was her imagination. The sonic buzzed as he held it up to the clown. The doctor let go of the button.
"Now… how did you get in here?" He asked himself. He walked back over to the console unit and placed his screwdriver into a slot. The machine burst into action and flew through the space and time vortex.
"Where are we going?" Asked Sarah, hiding behind the doctor.
"Wherever that clown came from" He replied still walking around the console flipping levers and buttons.
"And where is that?" She asked still watching the clown.
"Earth…1976…somewhere near London" He replied as the TARDIS landed "You coming?" She followed the Doctor out, oblivious of the clown's movement.
The two stepped out of the TARDIS and their eyes scanned the perimeter. They were in some empty high street. Not one person to be seen. A young girl, probably the same age as Sarah Jane, approached the travellers.
"Hello, I'm Alex, welcome to Jevelin" She smiled as the doctor was searching through his pockets for his sonic screwdriver.
He scanned the air and looked into it.
"We're on Earth but not even the Sonic can tell where" He whispered to Sarah Jane.
"She just said, Jevelin!" Sarah Jane replied.
"Sorry, do you two want me to go?" Alex asked.
"No, no, no!" Sarah Jane grinned "I'm Sarah Jane and this is the Doctor!"
"Nice to meet you both" Alex smirked back.
"But Jevelin, isn't a place on Earth" The Doctor whispered to Sarah "I know every town, every place on Earth and Jevelin isn't one of them"
"Well, it must be!" Sarah Jane replied "Is there any Clown dolls here?"
"Actually, there is a antique toy shop that's known for having them here" Alex answered "Would you like me to show you?"
"If you wouldn't mind" The doctor interrupted. Alex led the two down the empty high street.
"Why is it so bare?" Sarah Jane asked "It's like Sunday but more quiet"
"Unfortunately we don't get much visitors here" Alex replied.
"We?" Sarah Jane asked, noticing that Alex took awhile to answer.
"Yes… the…residents" She replied. Sarah Jane could tell she was hiding something. The Doctor, a few paces behind, caught up with Sarah.
"When two strangers come out of a police box and ask questions about clown dolls, wouldn't that seem strange to you?" He asked.
"Yes, and just now she was acting strange about the residents here" Sarah Jane whispered back to the doctor.
"Well, at least we know we're at the right place" He grinned.
"Here it is" Alex smiled and held her arm out to the entrance.
"It's open?" The doctor asked surprised when all the other shops were closed, for what looked like months.
"Yes, it's open all year" Alex smiled again. Sarah was starting to get irritated by her constant cheeriness.
The Doctor walked in first and looked around at the shelves full to the brim with all various clown dolls. Sarah Jane walked in and froze in her skin. She was living her nightmare. She took a few paces back but was stopped by Alex in the doorway.
The doctor looked around the small shop. On the outside it looked like a warehouse but this just looks like a tuck shop. He walked over to a door that said 'Staff Only'.
He blasted the handle with his sonic and opened the door.
"No! You're not allowed to go in there!" Alex rushed passed Sarah Jane and towards the Doctor now on the other side of the door. Sarah tried the shop door but it wouldn't budge. She shook the handle but she couldn't escape. She felt trapped. Like the walls were closing in. Like the clowns were pouncing off the walls and grabbing her legs…
Sarah screeched as the clowns pulled her to the ground. She screamed for the doctor but he didn't come…
