Happiness at Last?
Chapter 3 Aria
Sorry about not updating for so long. Blame it on finals and a bad Wi-Fi connection.
Please, please, please review!
Disclaimer: *sigh. No I don't own Doctor Who. My birthday is soon…
Rose runs off into the field of red grass and wildflowers, shortly followed by the Doctor. She stops short causing the Doctor to have to back pedal so as not to run into her.
"Do you hear that?" Rose asks. Turning her head this way and that to better hear the music floating through the air.
"Yeah" the Doctor whispers. Rose starts off in the direction of the sound. "Rose!" the Doctor hisses, but per usual, she ignores him. Past a grove of tall slivery, oak-like trees, sits a girl. Maybe 11 or 12. Dark hair falls down to her waist and pale arms extend from the sleeves of a dark blue dress. In her long fingered, delicate hands lies a beautifully crafted violin. She looks up.
"Who are you?" Rose send a quick thought of thanks to the Tardis for translating. The doctor slips in to the clearing. "Doctor?" the girl stands and runs to him. She wraps her arms around his legs.
"Aria?" the Doctor grins the way only the Doctor can. He picks up the child a spins her around. "How…?" he asks. Tears of joy run down his face.
"Mother made me hid in Dad's Tardis with a lot of other kids and Time Lords/ladies. When the Time War ended, we went to the Shadow Proclamation. They found this planet. We had to promise to be very quiet, unless there were Daleks or other bad people around." Aria's huge bright blue eyes grow sad. From loss or fear or simply bad memories Rose can't tell.
"Aria, where are the others?" the Doctor asks carefully. Aria visibly brightens.
"The city is this way." Aria grabs the Doctors left hand and Rose's right (after putting her violin in a case slung over her back) and pulls them southward. Towards the city of Time Lords. _
I know I am evil for putting that cliffhanger there.
Please review. If you do I will be more inclined to update faster.
