I am so sorry for the long wait, life has been mad at the moment. I am hoping to get some more writing done before i go back to college so that i am on top of things again though. I am still alive and i love you all :)
I have no idea if Rory and Amy will appear. Perhaps I will think of a way to do so. But to be honest, I think they suit man eleven rather than fem doc here. We shall see though.
However hold onto your jelly babies, because we are all about to meet Nathan!
They were chasing the cat again, the small ginger tom. It only had three legs, and so they would throw stones at it. He couldn't stand it here. He wanted to go back home. His mum said it was for the better but he didn't see how. The kids picked on him for the way he talked, for his clothes, for everything. Now they were on the way home from school and throwing stones at the cat while chasing it. It wasn't fair. He had to do something.
Running towards the group of children chasing the cat he shouted, "Leave him alone! Pick on someone your own size!" Bad idea. They all turned from the cat they were about to corner and faced him, stone still hands and with sneers on their faces.
"Oh look who it is!" said the ring leader, Jason. He was stalking over to Nathan, who had nowhere to fun. "What's wrong? It's just a stupid cat. Like you it isn't even normal. Go away and leave us alone, we're having fun." He turned away to face the cat which one of the others had caught. It was shrieking and yowling, desperate to get free.
"Leave it alone!" shouted Nathan. His anger was erasing all traces of fear, and he could feel his hands balling up into fists.
"Or what?" Jason raised his eyebrow.
"Or...or...I will fight you." Nathan knew that fighting was bad and that it was a bad idea. He was only small for his age, Jason was allot bigger than him in more than one way. For a start, he was two years older. He was also about 5 inches taller. But he was a bully and Nathan had had enough of him. However Jason just walked towards him, laughing.
"Like you could ever hurt me" he sneered. "I wou-" he never got to finish his sentence. Nathan had closed the now small gap between them and had punched him square in the jaw. He growled with rage and lunged for Nathan, who leapt to the side. However another kid ran up behind him and held his hands behind him, ready for Jason to hit him again.
"You are going to regret that O'Brian!" shouted Jason as he swung his fist into Nathans eye. Nathan howled in pain, and wriggled to escape. As he prepared himself for another punch he heard a voice.
"Oi! Leave him alone!" it was a small woman, with bright ginger hair. She looked angry and was running towards them. The kid holding Nathan let go, leaving him to fall as they all quickly ran down the street. Nathan sat in shock at what had just happened.
"Are you ok?" said the same woman, crouching down to face him.
"I'm fine. Thanks." He murmured.
"What's your name?" asked the woman.
"Nathan. Nathan O'Brian."
"How old are you Nathan?"
"I'm twelve, nearly thirteen."
"I saw what happened there. You punched that boy." The woman didn't seem angry, just worried, but Nathan panicked.
"Please I didn't mean to, they were chasing a cat and throwing stones at it and I just wanted to help it..." Nathan trailed off, looking back at the floor.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You shouldn't be fighting people though. But people also shouldn't fight you like that. Tell you what. You promise not to fight someone like that again, and I promise not to tell anyone about what just happened. Deal?"
Nathan looked up into the woman's face. She was smiling at him, and he knew that he was not going to get into any trouble with his mum.
"I won't. Thank you." He said, before standing up and running off.
He only realized after he got home that he never asked her name. He was just happy that this never got back to his mum.
i will try to update again soon :)
