Chapter 16
"What was that?" Dee Dee said in a panic, standing up in the aisle.
"Just rocks." The flight attendant assured her walking through the aisle to stand in front of everyone, "Now, everyone back to your seats."
"There are no rocks around us to fall." Professor Hobbes spoke, standing behind Dee Dee.
"Nothing could survive on planet midnight." Emma whispered to the Doctor as they sat in their seats, "Right?"
"I don't think so." The Doctor pulled out his glasses and put them on.
Another loud bang sounded on the top of the vehicle.
"There it is again." Val clung to her husband's arm.
"Everyone back to your seats." The flight attendant raised her voice.
Emma stood up and walked to the back of the vehicle and knocked twice on the wall. It knocked back twice making Emma scream.
"Emma!" The Doctor yelled making his way to Emma, "Get away from there."
"It answered." Biff held his wife close to his chest, "Jethro get over her."
Jethro walked up to Emma and knocked on the wall beside Emma's head three times, "That is definitely not rocks."
"Jethro don't." The Doctor warned.
It knocked back three times from behind Emma, but she was unable to move away because Jethro blocked her way.
"Emma, come here." The Doctor said from behind Val and Biff in the aisle.
"I-" Emma tried to push Jethro out of the way, but he laughed menacingly.
"Scared?" Jethro pinned Emma against the wall and knocked on the wall four times.
"Jethro!" Val screamed at him trying to get past the flight attendant, "Leave that poor girl be."
"Get off of me." Emma growled giving her meanest glare to Jethro.
"Relax," Jethro backed away from Emma and put his hands up in a defensively, "Only trying to have a little fun." Jethro walked back over in front of the flight attendant.
"It's not funny Jethro." Val warned.
Four more knocks sounded from just behind Emma, "Emma, come here, now!" The Doctor motioned for Emma to walk over to him.
Emma walked towards The Doctor. One of the Pilots came out of the control room. Her hair was platinum blond and she had ice blue eyes.
"What the hell is going on back here?" She yelled closing the door behind her and smoothing her black jump suit out.
"I'm sorry, Sky." The flight attendant turned around and faced everyone, "Now take your seats, please."
Everyone followed orders and sat down. Val and Biff across from Hobbes and Dee Dee who were in front of Jethro. The Doctor and Emma sat in the front of the vehicle with The Doctor sitting in the window seat.
"For the record," The Doctor whispered to Emma, "It is a very bad idea to provoke something around people who are scared out of their whits."
"Yeah," Emma blushed, "I can see that now."
"Sky, come back here." The flight attendant motioned to the pilot.
"I need to get back there." The Doctor looked over the seat at the flight attendant and the pilot talking.
"Flash your psychic paper." Emma pointed to the Doctors jacket, "Or just eavesdrops."
"Eavesdropping?" The Doctor mocked outrage, "How juvenile."
"Juvenile?" Emma got her complementary peanuts out and started to eat them, "Whatever old man."
"Why thank you." The Doctor smiled and stole a peanut.
"Alright everyone," The Flight attendant started but was cut off by knocks on the top of the vehicle.
Sky knocked five times on the back of the vehicle. One loud bang sounded throughout the vehicle and the lights turned off.
Val, Biff, and Professor Hobbes scream echoed loudly. The lights turned on and all the chairs around Sky were pushed away. Sky sat facing the wall with her head in her hands and crouched on the ground.
"Is everyone alright?" The Doctor asked surveying all of the people sitting behind him.
"Is everyone alright?" Sky mimicked, not looking at the Doctor.
"That is very childish." Emma muttered under her breath.
"That is very childish." Sky repeated loudly.
"Sky?" The Doctor walked over to the crouching woman followed by Emma.
"Sky?" Sky repeated.
"Stop it." Val yelled standing up from her seat.
"Stop it." Sky kept her head in her hands as the Doctor knelt down beside her.
"Sky, look at me." The Doctor said making sky turn to face him menacingly.
"Sky, look at me." She watched the Doctor as she spoke.
"That's not Sky." The flight attendant said walking over to stand behind Emma who stood behind the Doctor.
"That's not Sky." She faced the flight attendant.
Everyone stopped talking. Emma knocked on the side of the vehicle and nothing responded.
"Whatever was out there must be inside her." Emma noted.
"Whatever was out there must be inside her." Sky looked at Emma.
"Make her stop." Val cried out to the Doctor.
Everyone started to yell out things that Sky repeated.
"Stop!" Emma yelled at everyone, "Just sit down."
Everyone stopped talking but no one moved.
"How do we know you didn't do this?" Val yelled at Emma.
"Sit the hell down." Emma pointed to a seat and Sky spoke with her.
"Did she just speak with you?" Sky spoke with Jethro.
"Don't speak just sit down." Emma hushed everyone and Sky spoke in synchronization with her.
Everyone sat down, but the Doctor and Emma, no one spoke. They only sat facing forward. Jethro sat alone in his seat with his arms crossed over his chest.
Emma leaned against the wall behind the doctor and continued eating her peanuts. Emma watched the flight attendant walk over to the door leading to the control room. The flight attendant pushed the button to open the door. When the door opened a loud vacuum sound pulled the air out of the vehicle. The flight attendant screamed and pushed the button to reclose the door.
"The control room is gone." Hobbes panicked and charged over to sky, "What the hell did you to to them?"
"This isn't helping." The Doctor glared at Professor Hobbes as Sky spoke along with both of them.
"I know that she." Professor Hobbes started.
"Did this." Sky finished.
