Amy tipped toed towards the sound in the bathroom. She was afraid of what it might be. She had a sneaking suspicion her mind was playing tricks on her again and she wasn't sure what to expect. Quickly she opened the door to the bathroom to see one of her black cubes rattling and shaking in the sink. It wasn't opening and closing like the other one in the kitchen. It just shook like something was trapped inside it.
Amy ran back into her bedroom looking quite scared. Rory looked down from the book he was reading in bed and noticed the quiet panic in Amy's eyes. "What's wrong?" He put the book down and started to get out of bed.
"No! Don't move" Amy slowly walked up to the bed. "Everything's fine. Just don't go to the loo."
"What's this all about, Amy?" Rory gave her a look.
"There's a cube in the bathroom that keeps shaking. I think it might explode or something." Amy sat still in the bed beside Rory and heard the rattling coming from the bathroom. "Did you hear it?!" She looked at Rory with her big green eyes.
"Amy, I don't hear anything" Rory spoke in a soothing whisper. "Whatever you saw in the bathroom isn't there, ok" He took her hand in his. "Close your eyes and rest"
Amy did as he said and rested her head on the pillow beside Rory. Just as soon as she began to drift off to sleep Amy woke up to the sound of the rattling cube in the bathroom down the hall again. She was scared but she didn't want to wake her sleeping husband and bother him. She just closed her eyes and focused on trying to make it go away. The Doctor said she needed to anchor herself to reality somehow. Her husband was usually the best anchor she had.
When she awoke the next morning Rory was gone and there was a cube on her night stand. She slowly extended her hand to touch it and spikes shot out from it and took her pulse. She could see her heart beat moving up and down on the cube like those monitors in the hospital. "The cube just spiked me and took my pulse!" Amy yelled as she got up and ran down the hall but then reality hit her all at once like a pain in her chest and she realized she was running down the hall of a hospital.
"Mrs. Williams!" A nurse came running after her. "Where are you going?"
"I'm so sorry... I thought... Where's The Doctor?" Amy felt tears welling up inside her eyes. "Where's Rory?"
"They'll come visit soon, Mrs. Williams. Come lay down. You've had a difficult night." The nurse took her back to her room.
Rory came to see her later that day. "Amy, you broke the sink" He explained. "You really don't remember, do you?"
"No, I'm sorry I..." Amy started to cry softly. "I'm never going to get better, am I?"
"Amy, it's ok" Rory took her bandaged hands in his. "You thought you saw one of those cubes again. Remember that?" He waited for Amy to shake her head yes before continuing. "So you took the pole holding up the shower curtain and started beating the bathroom sink thinking it would stop the cube. You completely broke the sink. Your strength was honestly... pretty surprising." Rory smiled but quickly got serious again when he saw Amy's worried face. "It's fine really" He reassured her. "You cut your hands up a little bit but that's it. You're ok now."
"But I ruined the bathroom." Amy felt so terrible.
"I don't care that much about the sink as long as you're ok, Amy." Rory chuckled.
"I... thank you... I just..." Amy tried to collect her thoughts. "I'm just so angry that I can't control myself. I've been trying really hard and I'd been doing so well for so long. I want to be good for you and I keep messing it up." Amy started fighting back tears.
"No, no don't" Rory gave her a hug. "You're plenty good enough." He brushed the tears from her eyes. "I'm sure you'll be out of here by the end of the day, alright?"
Amy shook her head yes and took a deep breath to regain composure. She smiled as Rory waved goodbye and said his quick I love you before leaving the room. She closed her eyes and slept but when she woke up it was dark outside and a cube was hovering in the corner of the room. Just hovering and nothing else. There were no openings and no rattling but it made Amelia so very scared. It came closer and started looming over her. It was hovering right over her head before it disappeared as soon as The Doctor came in.
"So the cubes are finally doing something?" The Doctor smiled excitedly as he walked into Amy's hospital room. He was honestly very interested in finding out what the cubes were doing.
"You just missed it!" Amy pointed at the ceiling. "It was hovering over my head."
"So one is hovering, one's rattling and the other has a little door that opens and closes?" The Doctor thought out loud as he rubbed his chin. "Do you think there's some feelings in you that need exposing? Maybe they're in the cubes, the thoughts you might be trying to hide."
"I'm not hiding anything from you, Doctor" Amy looked slightly hurt. "You're not accusing me of being a liar, are you?"
"No, I simply mean that maybe your subconscious is storing something that you don't even realize is there." The Doctor explained.
"I know you're not human, Doctor." Amy's eyes narrowed. "You never were. But I know you can solve this thing"
"Thanks.. I think" The Doctor smiled as he got up from where he'd been sitting beside Amy's bed. He wasn't sure if Amy seriously was under the impression that he was an alien and he wasn't going to point out how wrong she was figuring it wasn't important to bring her back to reality just yet.. Besides, he figured that if he kept Amy in her dream world be might discover it's meaning.
