Chapter 4
Trapped in the tardis.
Annabeth felt groggy when she woke- as if she'd travelled through the time vortex in nothing but her skin. Her head was pounding and she glanced around at where she was. The gang, doctor, Clara and Jack were sprawled in varying places around the tardis console. She sat up and rubbed her head. The tardis made a concerned noise.
"It's alright old girl. I'm fine." Annabeth answered the tardis and made her way to her feet and to Jack who wasn't breathing. "Here goes nothing..." She whispered beneath she kissed Jack, causing the man to sit up.
"We're you kissing me?" He asked confused as Annabeth sighed and got up before making her way to the console. She placed both hands on the desktop of the beloved tardis and cried.
"Annabeth?" Jack asked, for the first time using her real name. He followed her to the console and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hay, love. What is it?"
"The evil, it's my fault, Jack."
"What do you mean it's your fault?" The American asked as the doctor and Vastra began to stir.
"My past is your future Jack. You don't even know who I am yet. Who I will be." Annabeth said turned away from him, the tardis murmuring comfortingly. Annabeth let out a sniffling laugh. "I know old girl. All of time and space, I promise, one day I will."
"You can understand Her?" The doctor asked groggily.
"Yes. We have a connection... Which I am sure you have realised Doctor." Annabeth sighed as she stroked the wall of the console room only to recieve a comforting hum from the tardis. "Hay old girl."
Strax and Clara awoke with Jenny last and Vastra was quick to help her wife to her feet. There was another crash above them and the tardis juddered. Annabeth stared at the doors. Jack stood with her as a tannoy was blurted into the tardis.
"Dr Song we know you are there in the wicked blue box. Come out now and we will make your end quick... You foul mouthed traitor." A thick foreign accent said in a commanding voice. Annabeth took a deep breath, one that shuddered when she released it.
"Annabeth, what have you done? To want whoever they are to kill you?" Clara asked.
"I killed a good man. A man I loved." Annabeth sighed and patted the tardis lovingly. "Will it always be this way with the women of my family, old girl?" The tardis made a confused noise. "I thought you might say thst." Annabeth concluded before she turned to the door which lead deeper into the tardis.
"Time to run." She said just as the main doors cam crashing in. Jack and the others didn't need asking twice and charged after her.
