A.N.~~ THE INTERNET IS BACK! WOOO! MORE CHAPS NOW!
It had been a few days since the Doctor's and my embrace, Rory, Amy, River, and Jack had all gone back home so it was just me and the Doctor in the TARDIS. He seemed to being more... touchy with me, a little pet here and little pet there, they were all sweet and gentle, making me blush whenever he did so. Now... bored out of my mind I was laying on the floor of the middle panel room and was talking to the TARDIS.
" Ugh! With a machine that can travel through time and space you'd think that we would do something fun, but NOOO we're running around in his wardrobe doing god knows what," I sighed getting more than a bit frustrated, " I want to do something fun! Something new!"
I rolled onto my side knowing that I wouldn't get a real answer from the TARDIS, as I was about to give up hope of doing anything fun the dial on the TARDIS tilted back. The box began to move and shake making me slide across the floor, grabbing a handrail to pull myself up the Doctor ran in looking shocked.
" What's going on!" he yelled over the TARDIS nosie.
" I think we're going somewhere fun... somewhere different!" I was laughing hard as the shakes sent me sliding towards the Doctor.
We held on to each other as we shook, then the spinning turning motion stopped and we seemed to land wherever we were going too. I giggled as the Doctor looked bewildered, I skipped to the door looking back to the Doctor for his approval to open the door. A swift nod was all I needed and the door was opened up to the outside world... I gasped... we were in Paris! I ran out and spun around, it was more beautiful than I could ever imagine, love seemed to float in the air like the scent of summer flowers. He came to the door looking out a bit confused, he didn't know why we were in Paris, he joined me outside and smiled to see my overjoyed reaction to be there. Maybe... just maybe... being here the Doctor might kiss me! My thoughts trailed around my head distracting me.
Then I stopped and froze where I was, it was like we were being watched by something, or someone... I couldn't shake that feeling. Up on a beautiful fountain was an angel statue, it was beautifully carved and I felt the Doctor stiffen next to me. I couldn't take my eyes of the beautiful angel, there were hundreds of tourists were surrounding the fountain.
" Let's get something to eat from one of these sidewalk cafe's Alexandra," said the Doctor gently taking my hand and pulling me to a little restaurant.
I blushed and got all giddy, he probably could have told me to jump off a cliff and I would have, my voice was soft and much more feminine than it normally would have, " Ok... let's do that..."
He smiled a bit guiltily as he sat me down on a old iron patio chair and ordered us drinks and some cookies, " So... why do you think that the TARDIS brought us to Paris Alexandra?"
"Ummm... I was telling her how I was bored and that there was nothing to do... maybe she just made the decision herself... it's happened before," I smiled and when my iced tea arrived I sipped on it.
" True... she could have fueled her decision off of your emotions and took us here accordingly," the Doctor said looking at the fountain, my heart yearned for him to hold my hand again, " Well since we are here do you want to explore Paris a little?'"
"YES! I'd love to!" I giggled and he smiled tilting his head to the side a little bit and took my hand again making me giggle more.
"Well then, let us get going and explore then, GERMINO!" He yelled playfully and pulled me towards an art museum.
I gasped... it was beautiful, the colors, the textures, it was like I could FEEL the emotion coming off of these works of art. The Doctor smiled, he could tell that I thoroughly enjoying myself, leading me from painting to painting, he told me about who had painted them, what inspiration there was behind them. I told him how I could the emotion of each of the paintings and he seemed to be taken aback a bit by my statement, he brushed it off though rather quickly and we went into the different statue rooms.
" Doctor... may we go into that one as well please?" I asked pointing to another room that I felt myself attracted too.
" Of course," he smiled leading me inside the exhibit but froze in the entry, angel statues surrounded us, some looked to be anguished in pain, to be crying, weeping.
The sign above the door in beautiful calligraphy said 'L'Ange exposition pleureur' the TARDIS matrix that would translate things began to kick in. The Weeping Angel Exhibit, I tilted my head to the side repeating what the sign said before I stepped into the room letting go of the Doctor's hand, I found a strange beauty in their weeping faces. The pain, and sorrow... I walked to one in the corner, this one was different, there was an almost sinister feeling coming off of the statue. I blinked, the hands that had been covering the weeping face of the angel were moved and the statue was smiling. I stumbled back afraid blinking again, the smiling face became one with sharp teeth, the gentle hands became claws that were ready to claw out my throat.
Another blink, this time I put my hands up to the angels chest because it had gotten even closer to me, making a triangle with my pointer finger and thumb a short pulse hit the angel in the chest throwing it back to the wall as I scrambled to the Doctor. He looked terrified, surprised, and smug all at the same time.
" Doctor..." I said breathless as we stared at the angel, he nodded putting his hand in mine.
" Run," like a whisper in the wind, he was pulling me down and away, running as fast as we could.
We saw the TARDIS in the distance but... I looked over my shoulder, with every blink a group of angels seemed to get even closer. I knew I had to do something, making the diamond with my hands, words came to me, words I didn't understand.
"Englar Gráta Ég hafna!" The same short burst of energy came and the Angels seemed to freeze making so I would be able to get to the TARDIS safely.
I collapsed at the entry of the door, the Doctor at my side immediately and held my shoulders as I started to hyperventilate, my heart raced faster than it ever had before. Fear... Fear... it poured into my veins like a poison, I was so afraid, I couldn't even control the feeling. It made me shake and tremble, I couldn't think straight, my mind clouded by the irrational feeling that had consumed me. I couldn't feel the Doctors comforting arms around me, or hear him whisper sweet nothings in my ear. Just the same thought echoed through my mind making me sick, the Angels silent scream that I could hear, I could HEAR them.
" Die... death... flesh to eat... time to suck from her body... blood..." their whispers in my head making me dizzy.
Then another voice, comforting, calming, " Shh... little one you are alright... shhh the Angels can no longer get you. Feel the Doctor hold you, drink in the comfort that he is trying to give you, I promise that everything will be just fine."
I was still trembling but leaned into the Doctor, into his warmth, " See? There you go... he has you, he'll keep you safe. Don't be scared little one, you're safe now. Nothing can get you."
As I relaxed and my heart calmed, the fear leaving my body I realized something, there was no one actually talking to me. It was a something... the TARDIS... she had pushed her calm voice into my mind and comforted me. Making me trust the Doctor, she knew that I loved him and was trying to help me, I smiled with gratitude, it had been a long day.
" What next?" I asked the simple question as the Doctor kissed the very top of my head gently.
