Nightmare

Part Two

You've been avoiding sleep. The nightmares too much for you to handle. You, the Doctor afraid of a tiny nightmare? You can go awhile without sleeping, but it's caught up to you now. So you lay down on your soft, warm bed and fall into a deep slumber in a matter of seconds.

"Hello, Sweetie," She whispers into your ear.

"River," You open your eyes. You're still in your room. So that's good? She smiles. A smile that means so much more. It doesn't reach her eyes. She's sad and you want to know why. But before you can, she pulls out a gun.

"I'm so sorry." She whispers before pulling the trigger. You don't feel it hit you, but you look down at your chest and you're bleeding. You're hand begins to shine golden… regeneration.

A beautiful spring day on earth. You are sitting in a field of tulips. Funny… you've never really had a taste for tulips, but they looked especially beautiful. Amy and Rory are running through the field, giggling and just being in love. She truly loves him. Does it hurt? It's not her you love… it's the love you love. You miss that feeling. And you want someone. But you can't… complicates everything. "Life is messy," You sigh as you lay your head down.

It's night now and it's a corn field. You see the night sky as you had with Vincent. A cold hand touches yours. You intertwine your fingers with the hand's on instinct. You turn you head to see a girl. She smiled at you, one of those smiles that instantly brings a smile to your face. You have no idea who this young woman is, but you love her. She stands up and begins to walk away. Into a maze of never ending corn. You chase after her, but she is gone.

You wake up still tired. You sit on the edge of the bed with your head in your hands. You know that Amy and Rory are keeping secrets from you. You're keeping secrets from them. Or just one big one.

You walk to the kitchen for a glass of water. Such a human thing to do. The TARDIS muses. You roll your eyes. As you lean against the counter sipping the water, you see a flash of blonde. "Stop playing tricks on me, dear." You say aloud to the TARDIS. I'm not. "Yeah, you are. I keep seeing blonde hair. I just saw it for the fifth time. And I'm sick of it." There's no one else here. Just you, Amy, and Rory.

It's just your imagination. Perhaps.

You settle into the nice leather lounge chair in the library. You watch the calming pool. It's still. Without thinking you walk over to it and just jump in. Pajamas and all. You let yourself float to the bottom. A memory flashes before your eyes, but it's gone now. Maybe you can just stay down here for a while. Forever? You can't and you make your way to the surface. Just before you break the surface you see the blonde again. She's standing right above you, looking down at you. Quickly, you break the surface and look around. The girl is gone. You let out a defeated sigh. You are completely crazy you tell yourself.

You hurry to the TARDIS's wardrobe and quickly get dressed. And wait in the control room until Amy and Rory come out. "Where to next?" Amy asks with a smile. And in an instant you've forgotten the blonde girl and the nightmares as you smile at the pair. Yet it's only for a second.

This was just going to be a one-shot, but I got another idea last night. So here it is. More to follow…

Thank you for reading. Review? :)
