Chapter 2
Road Trip
Lilly's POV
I ran to my house to check if Allyson was home. I had a strange feeling like she was missing. She was. "ALLYSON!"
Allyson's POV
When the TARDIS finally landed I stood there in shock unable to move. This was really happening. I was the doctor's companion. Once I steped out there my life could be on the line. Wherever the Doctor is there is trouble. Surely he knew that by now. I smiled finally at him.
"Well come on then!"
We ran out the door and I instantly stood in awe of the place. On one side pure peace. No fights at all. Everyone was at peace. Some were singing and others were smiling or shaking hands with one another. I turned around and my content stopped. Screaming and suffering. People beating one another up and Daleks were attacking them and restraining them. Some were shipped away in Dalek ships.
"Notice any patterns?"
He always needed to know his companions. Every one of them different. Smart ones, Pretty ones, Athletic ones, Kind ones, but all one thing in common: They were crazy enough to travel with the Doctor. Rose was especially important to him. She seemed to have all of the above and much more. She had a beautiful face as a personality. She loved him as much as he loved her. She was compassionate towards all things and knew how to control him. She was my favorite one to read about. She was something special, but wasn't pure goodness. She had a pang of jealousy toward the previous companions.
"Allyson?"
"I'm thinking. Um, well for starters they have different behaviors. Also over on the white side with peace are the Mothers, Elders, and Children. On the red side they have Teenagers, criminals, and policemen."
"Yes, quite right. And?"
"They are being invaded and punished by the Daleks."
"Yes, that's it. So the question is what's holding them back? They are being prisoners and they aren't even fighting," he threw a stone at the force field and it shattered blasting a force of electricity at the Doctor. It shocked him sending him down.
"DOCTOR!" I shouted and went to him, "Now we haven't been here for more than a minute and your already being electrocuted. My, my what a madman you are?"
"Yes. Now help me up, Allyson."
I grabbed his arm and pulled gently yet efficiently on the Doctor's left arm.
"So, they are being trapped into there. Why then? A race doesn't only need mothers and children! How will the mothers even become mothers? They need fathers and where did the elders come from."
"Why aren't we in either one of the sections then?"
"Good point."
The Doctor took me east through the ally. Then, there was a sign that blinked gone. What did that say? Forgive.
The trail split off again into to paths and the sign blinked back: "forgiven" and "forgiveness". The places we saw were innocence and Evil.
"We ought to head to Forgiveness unless you want to go to Evil, Allyson."
"They're just human."
"Wrong I've cqmoflagued you to them. They are actually much larger beings and have many abilities and forms. They even have unique abilities. This is like your super hero's on Earth but since they all are 'special' none of them are. In fact with all their abilities they need a stronger powerful government which may seem like a dictatorship to you, but of they listen and rarely use all of their powers they are rewarded to innocence. If you go against all their strict codes and laws you head to evil for a trial. If they find you innocent you head to forgiveness and they judge you even further to head to forgiven."
"Oh so exactly how tall are we?"
"A little less than ten foot."
"I've almost doubled in height?"
"I guess you can say that."
"What are we doing here anyway?"
"Oh, I had thought we just got a look around. You know."
"What's wrong Doctor? You always go out saving. What's wrong with this time period."
"We really need to go."
We ran toward Forgiveness. "Doctor, what's wrong with this world? There is always a problem! What is it?"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhh. We have to get to their leader and I need to talk with him. He had summoned me and if I don't meet him...he's a very short tempered man, Allyson."
"Oh, so you were...summoned."
He smiled and nodded then realizing we need to be quiet he looked upset and signaled me to be quiet. We traveled a long way to get back to where we were supposed to be. We saw the buildings in the distance and stood up.
"Why did he summon you?"
"I don't really know. That's my problem. It could be worth it and it could be a waste of my time and yours. If you see something Allyson let me know."
"Okay, so we are splitting up?"
"No. I can't imagine you'll be staring at every bush I stare at though. Stay behind me though, because they can be highly hostile."
"Then why are we here?"
"Shh!"
I got very annoyed with him now. I came with him and now he thinks he can just boss me around forgetting it's my choice. I obeyed though after all he knew more about these people than I did. Or almost people. Not people, they are not people.
"They may not be human, but they are people, Allyson. Don't think so negative!"
"What? How did you...do that thing?"
"You mumbled to yourself."
"I would have known if I mumbled to myself! How did you do that? How did you know what I was thinking?!"
"Shhhhhhh...you are going to get us caught! I'll tell you later! On the TARDIS."
Oh, great. Maybe he is a mind reader too. Now, even my thoughts are safe. Oh my God what did he think when I called him a pervert! I should just shut up he can probably hear my thoughts now.
I followed him trying to clear my facial expression. I scanned the area trying to memorize every detail I could. Wait! Why are they hostile? He said they were hostile.
"They think Time Lords are just like Daleks."
"Please just stop, Doctor! You are freaking me out."
"So, you didn't want an answer?"
I sighed at him. It's weird when a man can just see right through your thoughts like your mind is transparent. He didn't notice I called him a pervert though. He knew I was disgusted with him. When. I called them not people he knew I had doubts over them from my expression and assumed because The Doctor is great at that. Assuming correctly. Now he can probably see realization on my face and-
"So figured it out yet?"
"Oh, I think you know the answer. You can see the realization on my face and now the hint of sarcasm with a knowing smile."
"You are correct, Allyson. Now can we keep going?"
I nodded. We followed the trail up a steep hill. I fell a few times like the clumsy girl I am. The Doctor simply chuckled at me and held out his hand to help me up. I didn't know if I should be mad or laugh along. I guess I should warm up to The Doctor. He is showing me nothing but kindness and all I have shown him is disgust and hatred. That's awfully rude. I just smiled at him instead showing of acceptance.
"My your one of the more stubborn companions. Perhaps that will wear off when you get older, Allyson."
Now I scowled at him with my arms crossed in front of me. He just laughed, "Proving me right."
"Oh, shut up!"
"Come on then! Let's explore this amazing planet. It'll be fun." He held out his hand and I grabbed it and ran with him. I am only sixteen and can be heading to my death as we speak. Better, I guess than the life I'm leaving behing full of hate and unappreciation. I needed to trust The Doctor though. All I'm sending him now is fear and doubt which isn't fair. He's saved so many lives before. All his companions live a happy life. I'll be one of them. Perhaps I'll stay with him forever. He'll find a way to preserve me and I'll live forever!
He looked back at me and smiled a bright smile, "Well, you are starting to get it! Trust. That's all I need and I'll save you.
I've saved so many and you know your risks. You may be stubborn, but intelligent as well. I know that when it comes to it you'll be fine. Only the ones with spirit last long in the TARDIS. They don't die of they don't but they don't last long either. It also doesn't mean spirit is the savior to everything."
"Doctor, I get it. Now, then how do they know your a Time Lord?"
"Here they have strong scent glands. They'll pick me out in about a minute. We can make noise now but don't shout. What have we got now? Oh, It looks like about thirty seconds. Brace yourself to run, Allyson. Fifteen more seconds so turn and...run!"
"TIME LORD!"
"Here they come! Duck they'll begin shooting soon. Hurry, hurry to the TARDIS."
"I am running!"
"Duck! Duck now!"
I ducked just in time. They began shooting and The Doctor guarded me with his body.
"Okay up. They see who I am. I am not a threat! I am here to save you from an incoming wave of Daleks."
"We can handle ourselves, Doctor! Stop interfering. Leave!"
We ran back to the TARDIS, not thinking twice about our situation.
