Blink
When the Doctor and Martha go missing, it is up to Willow to find them. However, she soon learns that she may be out of her depth when she faces the Weeping Angels.
***
She didn't know how many days it had been since she had last seen the Doctor and Martha. Willow spent her time sulking in her old bedroom, eating leftovers and letting time pass around her.
As they explored the universe, she was left to roam her father's precious creation. Time machines on Gallifrey could be grown, eventually becoming mechanised by the time they had reached maturity. He worked on so many, but he always said that this TARDIS was his favourite. The ship had a mind of her own, with a life and consciousness so complex that even he could not understand.
It had been quiet. Perhaps it was too quiet.
Usually, she would hear the Doctor and Martha talking or laughing together. However, for the last few days, she had heard nothing. There was never anybody around; Willow didn't even have to hide anymore. For how long it had been like this, she could not say. Time was very different when living in the TARDIS.
In a moment of curiosity, Willow wandered into the main TARDIS console. Everything was stationary, a soft hum surrounding the room. Yet, there was no one to be seen. She strolled over to the monitor, noticing that they had landed.
At first, she guessed that the Doctor and Martha were on a different adventure. Willow was about to leave when a small piece of paper caught her eye. She narrowed her eyes, grasping the note and reading from it.
Willow, if you are reading this, then it has been some time since you have seen us. I can't explain why because it could fracture the timeline.
I'm sorry it has to be this way, but you'll have to figure this out yourself. The only clue I can give you is that the answers reside in Wester Drumlins.
I'll see you soon.
- The Doctor.
In response, Willow rolled her eyes. "What have you done now?"
A quest was not something that she asked for, yet everything depended on her. The Doctor definitely did it on purpose to try and get her out again. Though she found adventures to be thrilling, this will not change her mind. Willow would lock herself away until she had fully healed from her past emotions. Life was so much easier when she didn't know who she was.
"Hey, let me in." "What are you playing at? Let me in."
(she hears the doors and she hides)
"So, we've got another one then."
"Don't know." "We found this outside."
"A police box?"
"Well, it's not a proper one, is it?"
"Doesn't even look like it's from the 1960s. They're not supposed to be this big."
"Who would leave a police box outside an abandoned house?"
"Don't know -- but we can only assume there's been another disappearance."
"But who?"
(willow escapes and heads to wester drumlins)
"Well, this isn't spooky in the slightest."
(before she can head upstairs. she hears a noise. she comes face to face with sally sparrow. they scream)
"Holy shit!" "What the hell?!"
"I'm sorry -- I didn't know anyone else was here."
"Are you the one mucking about?"
"Excuse me?"
"Did you just throw a rock at my head?"
"No! Why would I do that?"
"I don't know!"
"Look, if I did, how did I get round here so fast then?"
"You've obviously got an accomplice."
"I don't. I came here on my own." "I'm looking for my friends."
"Why would they be here?"
"That's a good question."
"Look, if you didn't plan to throw that rock, then who did," "because it's written on the goddamn wall?"
(the wall is covered in writing)
"I'm guessing you're Sally Sparrow then."
"Yep."
"Where did the rock come from?"
"Over there."
(she shines a torch, revealing a weeping angel)
"Beware the Weeping Angels..."
(she rips off more of the wallpaper, revealing it's from the Doctor in 1969)
"Of course."
"Right, well, you enjoy your haunted house -- I'm going home."
"Yeah, that would be a good idea." (sally leaves) "Oh, um, can I borrow a torch?"
(she gives her a spare torch)
"The hell are you doing in 1969?" "And how did you get there?"
***
She didn't stay in Wester Drumlins all night. If people are disappearing from this place, then why would she stay?
"It's moved."
"It's what?"
"Since yesterday. I'm sure of it. It's closer. It's got closer to the house."
(she meets sally and Kathy)
"Oh, my God!"
"You again!"
"Hi."
"Did you stay here all night?"
"No, don't be daft. I hate haunted houses." "What are you doing here, I thought you were too freaked out to stay?"
"I was, so I got my friend to freak out with."
"Hi, I'm Kathy."
"Willow."
"How can my name be written here? How is that possible?"
"I wish I could explain, but-"
(the doorbell rings)
"Who'd come here?" (sally and willow attempt to leave but kathy grabs her arm) What are you doing? It could be a burglar."
"A burglar who rings the doorbell?"
"And technically, we're the ones breaking in."
"Okay. I'll stay here in case of..."
"In case of?"
"Incidents?"
"Okay.
(they open the door, revealing a light-haired man on the other side)
"I'm looking for Sally Sparrow."
"How did you know I'd be here?"
"I was told," (she steps back as he reveals a letter) "to bring this letter on this date at this exact time to Sally Sparrow."
"Looks old."
"It is old." "I'm sorry, do you have anything with a photograph on it, like a driving licence?"
"Just do it."
"But how did he-?"
"It's okay."
(she gets out her driving license)
"I'm sorry, I feel really stupid, but I was told to make absolutely sure. It's so hard to tell with these little photographs, isn't it?"
"Apparently."
"Well, here goes, I suppose. Funny feeling, after all these years."
"Who's the letter from?"
"Well, that's a long story, actually."
"Give me a name."
"Katherine Wainwright. But she specified I should tell you that prior to marriage," "she was called Kathy Nightingale."
(the door slam)
"Kathy?"
"Kathy, yes. Katherine Costello Nightingale."
"Is this a joke?"
"A joke?"
"Kathy, is this you? Very funny." (she heads into the conservatory) "Kathy?"
"She was just here."
"Kathy?"
"Sally, she couldn't have gone upstairs!"
"Kathy!"
"Please, you need to take this. I promised."
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I made a promise."
"Who to?"
"My grandmother, Katherine Costello Nightingale."
"Your grandmother?"
"Sally, listen, what he's telling you is true."
"How?!"
"Look, I can kinda grasp what's happening here," "but I can't do this on my own." "What's that in your hand?"
(the door closes, distracting them. sally barges past her)
"Sally, wait!"
"Just leave me alone!"
(she sees the angels in the windows)
"Shit."
