Sorry again but a short chapter is better then nothing. To make up for it, the next chapter will be in Edward's POV.

Chapter 7
Bella's POV
"Do you want to come inside?" the Doctor asked, his smile becoming noticeably wider.
"Umm sure," I replied sheepishly. We weren't all going to fit comfortably in there. I frowned. Was he mad? I looked up to Edward. He had his perfect crooked smile on his face, but without showing any teeth. It was like he knew something I didn't. That made my frown deepen. I didn't want my husband hiding anything from me.
The Doctor opened the door. I followed behind, allowing Edward to enter first.
I gasped and my mouth hung open in awe. Edwards smile expanded, quickly blossoming to show his teeth.
Incredulously and somewhat stunned I began to stammer. "It's… It's… bigger-"
"On the inside," the Doctor interrupted me, finishing my sentence. He spoke with a hint of boredom in his voice.
He rolled his eyes and laughed under his breath. "Yup, why does everyone always have such a compulsion to say that?" he said with a smile while shaking his head.
"Wow!" Edward exclaimed in amazement "I bet Alice would love this for her wardrobe!" He gave a light chuckle as he spoke. I giggled in response- it was an undeniably truthful fact.
"How is this possible? I mean… wow, this is-" I was speechless.
The Doctor began to fill in the blanks. He spoke fast, using technical jargon that I couldn't really comprehend. All I picked up were the words 'time', 'dimensions' and 'space'. Edward seemed to be hanging onto the Doctor's every word, while I was distracted by this fascinating machine.
We started to edge towards its centre. I was still not absorbing Edward and the Doctor's conversation. There were hundreds of buttons and switches. Like a child I was tempted to touch one, but knowing me I would cause the universe to implode, or something. So I let them be.
I walked over to the other side of the room, staring at the hexagonal fixtures on the walls. The Doctor showed Edward some gadget, I assumed it to be the detector thing he was on about earlier. The Doctor began slightly smugly, explaining how it worked but I was too interested exploring this wondrous ship.
"Boys and their toys"
I thought to myself as I let my shield down. Edwards lips curled up into a toothless smirk and he nodded. I smiled back and let out a little giggle. I loved our silent conversations.
Then it dawned on me. I was stood on an aliens ship. I giggled to myself, but my laugh suddenly changed to a sigh. I realised my life would never be as 'normal' as I wanted it to be. Edward didn't notice my abrupt change of tone. He was still engrossed in the Doctor's conversation.
I sighed again and began heading for the door as Edward and the Doctor began shuffling through an old, large and stained wooden box. I picked up that they were looking for Carlisle's letter.
I wanted to go outside and examine the exterior of the Tardis. I couldn't believe it. I only saw it from the front, so maybe the back is bigger or something. Or maybe it's invisible. I cringed at my theories, embarrassed and thankful that Edward couldn't hear my thoughts unless I wanted him to.
The last I heard of their conversation as I reached for the door was Edward saying in a shocked tone "Wait a second… That's my-" I couldn't absorb anything else as I was too interested in my own investigation.
I opened the door and stepped outside. I walked around the Tardis and I couldn't believe it. It was just a small box, filled with all this wonder inside. I gave in to the Doctor's glorious madness. I turned to head back inside.
Then, I froze.
I saw something flash at the corner of my eye. I quickly swerved round to look behind my back. I gasped.
It was a Weeping Angel. It was too close for comfort, but frozen by my gaze.
It was like the Doctor described. It resembled an angel but it looked menacing and eerie. A cold shade of concrete gray. If I were human I would definitely have shivers of fear tingling up and down my spine.
Thankfully vampires don't have to blink so I kept my focus. Staring directly at this creature who had its claws out as if trying to capture me.
I took a step backwards, trying to head for the Tardis door. Not taking my eyes of the creature.
Then there was another flash at the corner of my eye.
