Chapter Five- Little Men & Peace.
When Amy silently opened one of the TARDIS doors; she looked confused for one second before realisation hit her. On the monitor, the figure outside had looked the size of a regular human being but when Amy looked for the thing, she had to look to the floor and stifle a giggle; he barely reached above her knees.
She motioned for Rory to step out and lock the door behind him; he stood to the side of her, just a little behind and stared wide eyed at the little man, or woman, in front of them. He was muttering something under his breath and Amy was shocked to realise that it was English; human words that if she bent close enough, she could probably here.
And just as she was about to do so, the little thing started to hobble forward slowly, their little feet barely making a sound against the rough mud floor.
Motioning with her hand, Amy crept forward to; one wide step from the humans equalled at least five small steps from the little thing. Blip, Amy thought, I'll call him Blip. And then they were following Blip down the corridor and unlike before when the end held nowhere else to go, the back wall was now gone and it was more darkness.
"Come on, faster" Amy mouthed as they kept a safe distance from Blip but hurried to get through the new found doorway. And then, once they were through, they stopped in their tracks and their mouths gaped wide open.
It was a city; a big city that was made of mud and stones; there were towers and mud houses and even buildings that looked like shops; there was a dim green glow covering the whole thing and Amy could see that there were holes in the ceiling where the stars shone down.
More little Blip's were mulling around, running and laughing and just sitting on mud stools; what Rory found my intriguing were the children; because he could surely tell that the girl he was looking at was indeed a child, she had the baby face and the child clothes but she was the same size as the adult they had followed.
"Everyone is the same size" he whispered, almost inaudible to Amy who had crouched down behind at little bump in the mud and was peering subtly over the edge; her eyes fixed on everything below her. She was also looking for a way down and as she turned her head and stood up a little, something in the alien air made her want to sneeze, very very badly.
And she did.
The little Blip that they had followed to their vantage point spun around on his very tiny heels and glared at them with his very tiny bright blue eyes; a sight that even made Rory gasped because the startling colour was such a contrast against the dull brown that smothered everything.
From the front, it was clear that Blip was a male and a very angry one too; he pressed something on his shoulder and shrill sounded echoed throughout the whole place; Amy and Rory had to cover their ears but it did nothing to stop the piercing sound.
"We come in peace!" Was the first coherent sentence that popped into Amy Pond's head, the others were all along the line of curses and wishing the sound would stop but it didn't and Amy didn't know if it got louder or if her mind was just playing cruel tricks on her.
He muttered something was certainly not any language that Amy knew of and her and Rory stood stock still side by side as they waited for their fate.
