The Doctors point of view again. I'll get to Sarah's point of view soon enough.
I threw in a little bit of Toby's point of view in there too. I hope you like it. :) R&R
Anyway, thanks for the review, that meant a lot. There is a lot more of this story coming, I just have to type it up from my rough draft :D. Here's your cookie, setter28. *Hands cookie*
Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who or The Labyrinth. Sadly.
On with the story!
DPOV:
The Doctor was searching everywhere in the house, trying to find the source of the signal, so far nothing. He was glad that Toby was in bed because he looked suspicious snooping around the house. He had to find out where the energy was coming from before Sarah got home and he had to leave.
He heard a noise from the living room and he froze, he sighed, it was Toby. He was jumping on the couch...again. He had put him to bed probably five times by now but he kept getting up, he was trying not to get mad, he's dealt with children before, but never for this long. Toby was so stubborn, he told The Doctor when he laid Toby down that he wasn't going to sleep, until Sarah told him a bed time story.
I guess the kid just really wanted his sisters bed time story, because The Doctor tried telling him one once and he wouldn't listen, he just kept tell The Doctor that his stories were no fun and he would start playing around again.
The Doctor walked into the front room, "Toby, you should be in bed, your sister said to have you in bed at nine." Toby continued to jump on the couch and acted like he didn't hear The Doctor, which frustrated him to no end, why didn't anyone ever listen to him? Not only children but adults too, they never listen, then they get into some sort of trouble. "Toby, please, listen to me. Go to bed," he was trying hard to keep back his anger and Toby saw that.
Toby shook his head and decided to egg him on, "Nope, I'm not sleeping! Your not the boss of me! You're not my mommy, daddy, or sissy!" He continued to bounce on the couch cushions.
The Doctor sighed and his anger slipped a bit, "Toby, I am the boss of you at the moment! Please, listen to me!" He was trying to hold his anger back but this child was pushing his patience, he had a time limit and Toby was wasting his valuable time.
Toby got mad that The Doctor yelled at him and he yelled back, "I wish Sarah was here, she would kick you out for being mean!" Toby jumped off the couch and landed on the ground in front of the couch.
Finally The Doctor snapped, he couldn't handle this kids stubbornness, not even Amy was this stubborn, "I wish Sarah was here so I could leave! I should have came to help anyway, I have much better things I could be doing then watching a bratty little kid!" As soon as the words left his mouth he regretted them, he didn't realize how hurtful they were to Toby until he saw his eyes starting to swell up with tears. "Toby...I'm-"
Toby wiped tears that were rolling down his cheeks and he thought of Sarah's story, how mad she had gotten at him that she wished him away. An idea popped his head, and he yelled as loud as he could, "I wish that The Goblin King would come and take you away, right now!"
The Doctor was surprised by his words, he had never heard of a Goblin King before so he assumed it was just a story that Sarah told Toby. The Doctor sighed, "No one is coming to take me away, Toby. I'll be here until your sister comes home."
Toby shook his head wildly and wiped more tears away, "Yeah, there is, you meanie. The evil Goblin King is going to take you far away so you can't be mean to any more people! And no one is going to save you! Sarah wished me away and it worked, she had to go save me, but I won't save you, cause you're a meanie!"
There was a lite menacing chuckle that came from behind The Doctor, he swung around and there stood a tall blonde haired, just a couple feet away from him. The man made a perfectly round crystal appear in his hand and held it out before The Doctor.
The Doctor looked at the crystal, it was beautiful, it was completely clear and glistened in the light. When the light twinkled on it though, The Doctor thought he was going crazy, but he saw something. A face, not just any face, Roses' face. Every time the light would change it's spot, he would see another one of his old companions faces. His eyes went wide when he saw Amy's face in the crystal, he tried to reach out and grab it. "Amy?"
The blonde man pulled the crystal away before he could touch it, he held it out just so he could see Amy's face, smiling at him like she used too. Then he let it drop to the ground, it seemed like time had slowed down as The Doctor watched Amy's face change from smiling to crying.
The loud crash sound made The Doctor jump. The crystal had hit the ground shattering into a million pieces, looking like glitter that someone dropped. Suddenly The Doctors vision was obstructed by a lot of white smoke like the house was on fire, he swung around, franticly looking around for Toby. "Toby! Run, get out of the house!" Everything went black.
TPOV:
It was actually a quite funny sight watching The Doctor swing around like a crazy man. But then The Goblin king stepped around The Doctor and Toby stepped thinking it was funny and started getting scared as he got closer.
The Goblin Kind spoke softly to Toby, trying to make the child a bit less scared of him, he smiled, "Toby, now go call your sister. Tell her that The Goblin King took the baby-sitter and also...tell her...Jareth wants to see her again." He smiled a big wicked grin then disappeared with The Doctor, leaving poor Toby all by himself.
Toby didn't know what to do, he was so scared, he didn't mean for The Doctor to actually be taken away. He didn't think that he would actually come, he thought it only worked for his sister. There was only one thing to do. He had to tell the truth. He had to call Sarah.
