Parallel: From Another World [1] (The Parallel Series) ✓

Fear Her - Two

"Who?"

"Dad."

Trish knelt down a little to be eye level with her daughter. "Your dad? But he's long gone. Chloe, with all the lovely things in the world, why him?"

"I dream about him, staring at me."

"I thought we were putting him behind us. What's the matter with you?" Trish said sounding a little broken.

"We need to stay together."

"Yes, we do." Trish nodded going to hug her daughter.

Chloe stepped away shaking her head. "No. Not you, us. We need to stay together, and then it'll be all right."

"Trish, the drawings. Have you seen what Chloe's drawings can do?" Rose looked at the woman who looked deeply upset with what her daughter just said.

"Who gave you permission to come into her room? Get out of my house."

"Trish calm down" Rita held up a hand trying to calm the woman.

The Doctors face grew serious. "Tell us about the drawings, Chloe." He calmly said.

Trish shook her head tightening her hands into fists a little. "I don't want to hear any more of this."

"But that drawing of her dad. I heard a voice. He spoke."

"She's not lying, I heard it too Trish, listen the Doctor can help. Let him help." Rita slowly walked towards the woman whose breathing became a little faster than it normally should have been.

"He's dead. And these, they're kid's pictures. Now get out!" She shouted.

"Chloe has a power. And I don't know how, but she used it to take Danny Edwards, Dale Hicks. She's using it to snatch the kids."

"Get out." Trish shouted at Rose.

"Have you seen those drawings move?" Rose asked pointing to them.

"I haven't seen anything." She denied.

"Yes, you have, out of the corner of your eye." The Doctor told her.

"No." she denied again.

"And you dismissed it, because what choice do you have when you see something you can't possibly explain? You dismiss it, right? And if anyone mentions it, you get angry, so it's never spoken of, ever again."

Trish let out a sob. "She's a child."

"You're terrified of her. But there's nowhere to turn to, because who's going to believe the things you see out of the corner of your eye? No one. Except me."

Trish looked at him. "Who are you?"

"I'm help."

Rita rolled her eyes crossing her arms and staring at the Doctor who for some reason started to feast on the Webbers marmalade with his fingers.

"Ahem." He shot his head up at the two girls watching him with what he registered as a 'disappointed' look. Realising what he was doing he placed the jar behind him. "Those pictures, they're alive." Rose said. "She's drawing people and they end up in her pictures."

"Ionic energy. Chloe's harnessing it to steal those kids and place them in some kid of holding pen made up of ionic power." The Doctor explained.

"Transporting them, she said 'they don't stop moaning'" Rita quoted the girl from earlier. "What could that mean."

"And what about the dad from hell in her wardrobe?" Rose suggested.
