An Angel's Home
Chapter 4
The Doctor was so flustered he could scream, but not in front of Amy. He stopped and scrunched his face, closing his eyes. Amy was just letting him think. She was facing the other direction. "All you alright?" said a voice from in front of The Doctor. It was a girl's voice. A teenager's voice. Amy spun around and looked at the girl. She was probably 13 or 14 years old and had red hair, just like Amy's.
The Doctor thought it was that voice in his head, so he replied. "No I'm not!"
The girl wondered why he wouldn't open his eyes, so she played along. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know where I am." he said back. That was the first time Amy had ever heard him say something so unsure, so...human. "I lost the TARDIS. I can't tell Amy that or I'll sound stupid. What should I say?"
Amy frowned. He really doesn't know he's saying everything aloud? She thought.
"Who's Amy?" after the girl said that The Doctor opened his eyes. He looked down at the girl who was actually quite tall for her age. She came up to his shoulders.
He turned to look at Amy. "I said all that out loud?"
"Yep." said the ever so encouraging Amy with her arms crossed in anger.
The Doctor paused. "And you...heard it?"
"You lost the TARDIS?" she replied quickly.
"Well, no...maybe..."
"You lost the TARDIS?" she yelled.
The mysterious teenager was quite confused at the moment. Then she shrugged and shook The Doctor and Amy's hands. "The name's Melanie, but call me Lanie!" She said ever so chipper. She wore a tank top and capri pants, all in camo pattern. She had a black equipment belt and her red hair was rather wavy, but it was frazzled and messed up. "Oh and don't ever call me Mel or I'll have to punch you in the face. We done with introductions? Okay now time for questions!" She clapped her hands once.
She acts like The Doctor. Amy thought. A little too much like him.
Melanie put her hands on her hips. "How on earth did you get here?"
The Doctor and Amy paused for a moment. "My ship landed here." said The Doctor.
"And you landed it, bowtie man?" She replied with quite a lot of attitude.
Amy laughed a bit. The Doctor looked at the two as he straighten his bowtie. "Bowties are cool!" he yelled a bit. "And yes, I landed it...well...no, not really."
She squinted her eyes. "Do you even know where you landed?"
He looked at Amy. He knew exactly where they were. He didn't want to tell anyone. He wouldn't tell anyone, but this girl seemed confident. She knew what she was doing. "Yes, of course I do!"
"You said you didn't!" yelled Amy.
"Yeah, well that was a clever lie." He said for the hundredth time.
"Yeah, yeah. Rule one! Can you tell me now?"
The Doctor couldn't meet Amy's eyes. He stood looking at his feet.
Melanie rolled her eyes. "Where do you think you are?" She said to Amy.
"Some place...that's being...taken over by weeping angels?" She stammered out.
Melanie stared at Amy with her mouth open. The Doctor was still staring at his feet. She looked at him and rolled her eyes...again. "This place isn't invaded by weeping angels." she paused as The Doctor stared at her. She took a deep breath and said what The Doctor wouldn't. "Your in the Weeping Angels' home."
