The Littlest Timelord: Cracks in Time

Chapter 17

A high pitched beeping noise came over the communicator.

"What's that?" Amy asked.

"It's a warning. There are Angels round you now", the Doctor told her, "Amy, listen to me. This is going to be hard but I know you can do it. The Angels are scared and running, and right now they're not that interested in you. They'll assume you can see them and their instincts will kick in. All you've got to do is walk like you can see. Just don't open your eyes. Walk like you can see".

The beeping continued.

"You're not moving. You have to do this. Now". The Doctor slammed his hand down on the monitor repeatedly. "You have to do this!"

A few seconds later, Amy appeared next to Elise and River in a flash of light.

River grabbed her. "Don't open your eyes. You're on the Flight Deck", she told her.

"The Doctor's here. I teleported you". River gave the Doctor a smug smile. "See? Told you I could get it working".

"River Song, I could bloody kiss you".

"Ah well, maybe when you're older".

An alarm started going off.

"What's that?" River asked.

"The Angels are draining the last of the ship's power, which means the shield's going to release", the Doctor said.

The wall in front of them rose and an army of angels stood there.

"Angel Bob, I presume", he said, addressing the angel in front holding a communicator.

"The Time Field is coming. It will destroy our reality".

"Yeah, and look at you all, running away. What can I do for you?"

"There is a rupture in time. The Angels calculate that if you throw yourself into it, it will close, and they will be saved".

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could do, could do that. But why?"

"Your friends will also be saved".

"Well, there is that".

River walked up to the Doctor. "I've traveled in time. I'm a complicated space time event too. Throw me in".

"Oh, be serious. Compared to me, these Angels are more complicated than you, and it would take every one of them to amount to me, so get a grip".

"Doctor, I can't let you do this".

"No, seriously, get a grip".

"You're not going to die here!"

"No, I mean it. River, Amy, get a grip".

River finally realized his plan. "Oh, you genius".

"Sir, the Angels need you to sacrifice yourself now", Angel Bob told him.

"Thing is, Bob, the Angels are draining all the power from this ship. Every last bit of it. And you know what? I think they've forgotten where they're standing. I think they've forgotten the gravity of the situation. Or to put it another way, Angels..."

River grabbed Amy's hand and placed it on a handle attached to the console. "You hold on tight and don't you let go for anything", she told her. River grabbed Elise and placed her in front of her. "Hold on tight, sweetie".

"Night, night", the Doctor said as the gravity failed.

One by one the angels fell back into the crack and it snapped shut.
