To save her life...

My first fanfic artwork!!

This is actually for an unnamed Doctor Who script that I'm working on featuring the 11th Doctor, Jack Harkness, the clone of the 10th Doctor that I've decided to call John (because what else would it be?!), and a new character; Shiloh Tyler, the daughter of Rose and the Clone. I've got about 20 pages done so far, and I'm really pleased with how it's turning out so far.

So I'm also including an except from the script!

I'd love to hear what you guys think!

It was the thump that woke him. He looked around the second story room, it was completely dark except for the lamp that showed the many photo albums on the table. Feeling weight on his shoulder, he looked down. Shiloh lay on his shoulder, a smile on her face from sweet dreams. Not wanting to disturb her, he was just about to try and fall back asleep when he heard it again.

Thump…and this time he could swear he heard voices. Someone was in the house.

Wide awake now, he carefully moved Shiloh so that he could get up and moved toward the top of the stairwell. Carefully he moved down the stairs, trying to be as quiet as possible. Once his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could see what appeared to be four…no, five people creeping around the living room, looking in every drawer and shelf for...something.

Just as he was about to take another step, at the front door he could see what appeared to be a silver liquid coming from under it. As the puddle became bigger, it began rising up, forming legs, a torso, arms, and finally a head. It then lost it’s silver sheen and appeared to now be made of flesh.

“Vesperons…” John whispered as his blood turned cold.

“What‘s taking so long?!” one of the leaders said in a harsh whisper. “You said it was here!”
“It’s it. My controller is picking up its traces and the signal’s strong. The stone is in this house. I‘m sure of it.”
The first Vesperon let out a frustrated breath. “We’ll never find it this way.” He then raised his voice, causing all in the room to turn to him. “Spread out and tear the house apart! Dispose of anyone who gets in your way! We need that stone!”

The two of them were in serious trouble. John knew he had to get Shiloh and himself out of the house as soon as possible. He hurried up the steps as quietly as he could, forgetting to skip that squeaky step. Slight as the sound was, the Vesperon leader heard it. “Doctor…”

“Shiloh wake up!” he said as he shook her furiously.
“Mmmm…Dad...it‘s 2:30 in the morning…” she groaned, turning over.
“Shiloh, this is important!”
“But dad…”
It was then that she heard a crash downstairs. The sound made her sit upright.
“What was that?!”
“No time to explain. Follow me!” he shouted.

As they ran into the bedroom, he locked the door and began moving things in front of it for extra protection. Seeing her father like this made Shiloh’s stomach sink.
“Dad what‘s going on?! Who are they?”
“They‘re called Vesperons.” He said as he struggled to move a dresser in front of the door. “Shape-shifters that can turn into any person, creature or object they desire.”
“But what are they doing here? What do they want with us?”
His gaze moved to her necklace. “Chances are, they want that stone. And they‘re willing to get rid of us to get it.”
“This old thing? Well why don’t we let them have it?”
“No! They can‘t have this! If they do, they‘ll…”

A massive slam at the door stopped him mid-sentence. Just the one slam against the door caused a large crack to run down the middle. It wouldn’t hold much longer.
John grabbed her, his eyes intense. “Shiloh, listen to me. You need to get out of her as fast as you can. I want you to go out through the window and climb down the shaft. Run; run as fast as you can away from here. Once they realize the stone isn‘t here, they‘ll come after you. Now once you’re alone…”
“Alone?! Why aren‘t you coming with me?!” she shrieked, wide-eyed.
“There‘s no time to explain!” he repeated in a harsh whisper as another slam hit. “Now listen, hidden a few miles down on Bad Wolf Bay, is a large blue police box; the TARDIS. Above the ‘P’, there’s a key. Take it and go inside. The rest will take care of itself. Once you‘re where you need to be, find the Doctor. He‘ll know what to do.”
“Dad…” she started.
“And one more thing,” he interrupted. “Whatever you do,” he touched the stone around her neck. “Don‘t let them get this. The fate of the world depends on it.”
“But dad…” she said as tears started. “I can‘t do this without you.”
Giving her a sad smile, he held her close. “Don‘t worry. I’ll still be with you. You’re something special Shiloh. I knew from the first time I saw you that you were meant for something bigger than a regular life. You are so much more than what you realize. All you need is the chance to set it free.”

As he held her, another loud slam hit the door. Looking back, he could see that the door was beginning to splinter. He braced himself against the door.
“Now go. I‘ll try to hold them off as long as I can.”
She nodded and started toward the window, but before she did, she hurried back and left a kiss on his cheek.
“Be careful dad…and good luck.”
“You too.” he smiled as she took one last look before slipping out the window.

Only moments after she had disappeared from his sight, did John feel something wet on his feet. Looking down, he could see a puddle of silver liquid. They were coming in from under the door. There was no escaping them now. Slowly he stepped away, preparing to accept his fate. Within a few minutes, three Vesperons had materialized, including the Lieutenant.

“Doctor…” he said with a evil smirk.
“What are you taking about?” John said. “I’m not the Doctor. I‘m human.”
“Scan him.” the Lieutenant said to the one on his left.
Pulling a scanner out, he directed it at John, covering him with a blue light. After a moment, a beep signaled that it was done.
“Well?” the Lieutenant asked. “What does it say?”
“Well…I…I‘ve never seen this before.” he stammered.
“What does it say Sergeant?!” he shouted.
“It says…he‘s half human…half Time Lord.”
John gulped. They knew his secret.
“Interesting…” the Lieutenant grinned. “He’s not the Doctor, But there‘s someone who would be very interested in meeting you. Transport him.”

And before John could voice a word of protest, the sergeant pulled out a transporter gun, aimed it at John and he completely dematerialized. Shiloh had to put her hand over her mouth to keep a scream from escaping as she watched from the window.

The Vesperons were soon joined by a fourth. “We‘ve searched the entire house and there’s no sign of the Vortex stone. We‘re still getting a signal though.”
“It‘s on the move. Burn the house to the ground and go after it. Report to me back at the ship when you‘ve retrieved the stone.”
“Yes sir.”

Realizing that she needed to get going before they came after, Shiloh allowed herself to drop to the ground with a thump. As soon as her feet hit the ground, she took off running down the beach. Only 30 seconds later did an exploding sound cause her to look back. There behind her, the only home she had ever known was going up in flames. Hot tears stung her eyes as she ran. All their things; the photos and the memories were now going up in smoke. But she knew she had to keep running; her father’s survival depended on her.
