Doctor Who Fan-Fiction

This is something I write on the way home from my uncle's house, I hope you like it!

Our story begins with a young girl typing away at her laptop, trapped in her tower, telling stories of knights and dragons and damsels in distress. Hardly no one knows who she is, of course there are rumors about the tower in the forest behind the castle, but no is quite sure who lives there. That’s exactly how the king wants it; he wants no one to know about his illegitimate child locked away in the Foster Tower deep within the Blackwood Forest. Esperanza has known little else of life other than her tower and her laptop. She knows lots about the outside world, but she has never experienced it, she has only seen it through the screen of her laptop. Life to Esperanza is isolation. The only other faces she knows is her governess Daphne and her cook Helene. When Esperanza awakens to a strange noise outside her window her heart begins to race, maybe this is her chance to finally experience the world of her storybook characters, the world of adventure and beauty. Quickly pulling on her dressing gown, she rushed to the window and slowly pushed the shutters open. Peering down the side of the tower she saw a man stepping out of a strange blue box. He looked around and shrunk back into his box. She watched for a while before he emerged again, this time with two other people, a man and a woman. The woman had hair such as Esperanza had never seen, it was a lovely shade of orangey red, it intrigued Esperanza to no end. They took in the forest and the tower for a few moments before the first man rushed up to the tower and pointed a strange rod at it was he a wizard? Was he going to burn down the tower with Esperanza in it?

“No please don’t!” Esperanza shouted down at him. “Please keep your magic to yourself!”

They started at the sudden words. “Where is that coming from?” The tall man said.

“Show yourself!” The woman said.

“I am here! In the tower!” Esperanza shouted down to them. All at once they turned at looked at her. All of them seemed a little surprised at her.

“A princess in a tower.” The first man said. “How storybook.”

Esperanza blushed. “I’m no princess, sir.”

The first man began running around the tower, closely followed by the tall man and the red haired woman. Within a few minutes they had run around the entire tower. “So!” the first man said with a sudden burst of enthusiasm as he turned to his companions. “There’s a girl stuck in a tower with no doors, it’s turning out to be a good day after all!”

What a strange thin to say, Esperanza thought.

“Maybe we’re supposed to ask her to let down her hair?” The tall man suggested.

“What good would that do?” the first man asked.

“You know, the fairytale? ‘Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair!’” The red haired woman said.

“All those human fairytales, I can’t keep track.”  The first man said. “Maybe there’s a lever or something around here.” He started to search the area, looking under leaves and such.

“Esperanza rested her chin in her hands and leaned on the window sill. “If I were you I’d have a mind to ask the inhabitants of the tower how to enter.”

They looked up at her again. “Okay then, how do we get in?” The red haired woman asked.

“You simply ask.” Esperanza said. She then proceeded to say the words in the ancient tongue that commanded the stones to do your bidding and the stones opened up at the bottom of the tower. The three strangers looked at each other and a silent agreement seemed to pass between them. Together they stepped into the tower. Esperanza began running her fingers through her hair and smoothing her nightgown. She could hear the strangers making their way up the stairs and around the sleeping dog that lay on the steps. As they reached the top, Esperanza slid the hatch open on the door. “This door, I’m afraid, I cannot open. If I could I’d have left years ago.”

“Well let me see what I can do.” The first man said, taking out his rod again. Terror struck Esperanza’s heart. “Please sir! Don’t use any dark magic here!”

“Dark magic? What dark- oh… This isn’t magic, it’s just a sonic screwdriver… That probably makes no sense to you. Hmmm… Think of a master key that will unlock anything.” He said. “Its nothing like that, but think of a key, if it helps. Oh and I’d step back if I were you.”

Confused, Esperanza took a few steps backwards and after a strange buzzing sound the door swung open. “How did you do that? Nothing but my father’s words can open that door.”

“Nothing but your father’s words and me.” The first man said. “So, why are you in this tower?”

“Before I tell you, I’d like to know who has entered my tower so easily.” Esperanza crossed her arms.

“Oh! So sorry, I’m the Doctor and this is Amy and Rory.” The first man motioned to his companions.


I'll post more at a later date.
