Chereads / Zoes world / Chapter 7 - Skara brae

Chapter 7 - Skara brae

We landed with a thud, and the doctor, after grabbing his coat, walked towards the door, he seemed to be in a hurry, probably wanting to get rid of me quickly, he turned around when he got to the door,

"You coming?" He asked, excitement evident on his face.

"You go I think I'll sit this one out" I answered, making my way to the sofa and sitting down. The doctor sighed and then came and sat next to me putting his coat on the back of the sofa

"What's wrong?" He asked I just shrugged, not knowing what to say, the doctor sighed again, "look, I know you're worried about finding out who you really are, but I thought your curiosity to find out who you are would win, usually curiosity wins over fear." He smiled, I shook my head

"I am curious, really I am, but.... but, I'm worried, worried that I may not be able to return to earth, my home"

"Wait, you think I'd leave you here? On Skarabrae?, are you out of your mind? I would never do that" the doctor stood up and sat on the floor in front of me looking frustrated, he held me by the shoulders and looked me in the eye "I would NEVER do that" emphasis on 'never' I nodded wanting to believe him. "Come on, let's go" he held my hand and got me up, then walked me towards the door, picking up his coat once again, he opened the door and walked out making sure I was in front.

He was right when he had said that this planet had stopped in time, there was stone every where, I looked around at all the grass and trees, two men came at us with spears,

"Who goes there?" One of them asked, whilst pointing the spears at us we held our arms up as in surrender then the doctor spoke

"I'm the doctor, from Gallifrey, and this is Zoe, from earth, we're just exploring, look I know the king and queen, call them" I looked at the doctor in awe, I couldn't figure out weather he was serious or lying. A man and a woman wearing the skins of a tiger, with the mouth of the tiger going over their heads like a crown, came into view,

"We do not know you" the woman, I'm assuming was the queen, spoke

"But.... what?, no not you the other queen" there was a lot of murmuring

"I AM THE QUEEN, THROW THEM INTO THE DUNGEON" she spoke, then walked away leaving no room for argument

"What, no, doctor, do something"

"Just.... just give me a sec" he answered, as he tried to escape from the iron grip these men had on out wrists, they dragged us along a path, then down some steep stone steps, they opened a big wooden door and pushed us in. Great a wooden door, you know what that means, right? The sonic screwdriver doesn't work on wood, don't ask me why, but it doesn't, I noticed two other people in the dungeon, the doctor noticed them too, a man and a woman,

"Seth, Kiara" the doctor exclaimed as he hugged them both at once,

"Doctor? What are you doing here?" The woman asked

"Well I was just showing Zoe around when we got captured" he began to explain I felt awkward standing here so I started walking along the wall to seem as though I was looking for a way out "Zoe, come here, come say hello to the REAL king and queen" the doctor called emphasising on the word real I walked over and greeted them, the doctor then asked them how they ended up in here, from castle to dungeon.

"Oh where have you been doctor?" Seth spoke now, "it started over 20 years ago, when Kiara got pregnant we feared not only for our lives but the baby's life as well, so we fled to a planet called earth, Kiara had the baby there and we left her there, there was this couple who had no children of there own, they were talking near the forest where Kiara gave birth, they were talking about treatment so they could have children" I looked wide eyed at the doctor, he was just as surprised as I was "we kept an eye on them until they put our daughter in an asylum for the mentally ill we then had to flee as we were nearly caught, we have been down here ever since" he finished his speech and Kiara now told more

"They come in here everyday they torture us trying to find out where our daughter is, but we will die before we tell them anything" she cried as she hugged her husband tightly.

The screwdriver now came out of the doctors pocket and he started to press buttons on it

"That won't work on wood, will it?" I asked thinking maybe he had upgraded he said nothing just winked then I heard it whirring, no way, the TARDIS materialized around us and the doctor worked a few buttons and we were off along with the king and queen, they were in awe as they had a tour of the TARDIS.

We took them to earth, and explained how I was there daughter, they were happy they went on to explain how they never meant to leave me alone but had no choice, but I explained that I understood. The doctor helped us buy a house we lived together now my dad found a job in an office, fixing computers, I travelled with the doctor my mum stayed at home. I know was happy, happier than I'd ever been, we never went to Skarabrae again.

This the end guys hope you enjoyed
