"Laura. I want you to listen to my voice. You're here. You're here with me. Do you hear me?" The Doctor said, gently holding Laura.
"Yes." Laura was slipping further away from the Doctor.
"Look at me. Laura can you open your eyes and look at me?"
The Chanting grew to a seemingly ear shattering level.
"Laura. Stay awake! Look at me!" The Doctor said, shaking Laura. But it was no good and Laura slipped into another deep sleep. "Damn..."
The Doctor leap to his feet. "Alright everyone. Great cult meeting. The refreshments were wonderful, and the conversation was just lovely, but I think it's time we called it a night."
An eerie silence filled the room as all eyes were turned to The Doctor.
"Unless you'd rather play charades or something..."
"Who are you?" Getz said, with a quiet focus.
" I'm The Doctor. I'm new here. Is the creepy chanting a usual Thursday night event? I didn't get the memo." The Doctor slowly made his way toward Getz.
"Why are you here?"
"Oh, what a question Getz. Why are any of us here? Let me ask you. Why are you here? You don't belong on this planet. "
"What do you mean, Doctor?"
"You know what I mean. You're not human."
"I don't have time for this foolishness. Sleep!"
Suddenly all of the people in the room made fell to the ground and into a deep sleep. But The Doctor stayed standing.
"Why aren't you asleep?!" Getz growled.
"Well, I'm not human either." The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and let out burst of high pitched sound. Getz dropped to his knees, holding his ears.
The Doctor picked up Laura and carried her out of house.
The eyes held Laura. They held her close. She saw love in their shine. They were warm. They were her master. She was theirs. She reached out her hand to touch them. To touch power.
Laura awoke with a start. Cold silver surrounded her, she sat up and saw The Doctor at the console fiddling with something.
"Where are we?"
"Oh good! You're awake!" The Doctor said, still working away at his machine. "We're inside my ship."
"Your ship? Like a space ship?"
"Well, a time and space ship, yes."
"Okay..." Laura was too phased and disoriented to ask any of the thousands of questions that answer raised. "What are you doing?"
"Ah! Well, you see, I'm building something to combat the control the creature has on the people here."
"Creature? You mean the eyes?"
"Yes. Well that's what it shows you in your dreams, what it really looks like is hard to say. In fact it's impossible."
"What do you mean"
"There are things in the universe that are so unknowable, so indescribable, so...powerful, that they exist beyond understanding."
"And that's in my neighbor's house?"
"Oh no! It's probably lounging in some cracks in between universes, but its turned its attention toward this planet." The Doctor said soldering wires together.
"Why?"
"For food."
"Food?!" Laura said, fear filling her chest.
"Yes. It feeds on dream energy. The more people dreaming at once the bigger the meal."
"That's why I slept so much...is this happening everywhere?"
"No. It's located here. It's hold isn't strong enough. Getz is its connection to this planet, a servant and prophet. Getz is the key. He needed to be here so the creature had a point of focus, but soon its focus will grow strong enough to feed on the whole world."
"How can something like that exist?"
"You can't even imagine the things that can exist, Laura. Besides this thing isn't nearly as bad as its parents." He picked up his gadget and shot Laura a rye smile and held out his hand. "Shall we?"
