The Time Of The Angels Pt. 4

"Yeah."

"You're so his wife."

"Oh, Amy, Amy, Amy. This is the Doctor we're talking about. Do you really think it could be anything that simple?"

"Yep."

"You're good. I'm not saying you're right, cause I'm not, but you are very good" suddenly gunfire sounds from a few feet away. The Doctor, {Y/N}, River and Amy run back to the main group. A young Cleric has shot up a statue.

"Sorry, sorry. I thought. I thought it looked at me."

"We know what the Angel looks like. Is that the Angel?"

"No, sir."

"No, sir, it is not. According to the Doctor and {Y/N}, we are facing an enemy of unknowable power and infinite evil, so it would be good, it would be very good if we could all remain calm in the presence of decor."

"What's your name?" the Doctor asks.

"Bob, sir."

"Ah, that's a great name. I love Bob."

"It's a Sacred Name. We all have Sacred Names. They're given to us in the service of the Church."

"Sacred Bob. More like Scared Bob now, eh?"

"Yes, sir."

"Ah, good. Scared keeps you fast. Anyone in this room who isn't scared is a moron. Carry on."

"We'll be moving into the maze in two minutes. You stay with Christian and Angelo. Guard the approach."

"Isn't there a chance this lot's just going to collapse? There's a whole ship up there."

"Incredible builders, the Aplans" River says.

"Had dinner with their Chief Architect once. Two heads are better than one" the Doctor says.

"What, you mean you helped him?" Amy asks.

"No, he had two heads. That book, the very end, what did it say?" {Y/N} asks.

"Hang on," River says.

"Read it to me" {Y/N} says.

"What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if one day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us. The time of Angels."

*Time skip*

"Are we there yet? It's a hell of a climb" Amy says.

"The Maze is on six levels, representing the ascent of the soul. Only two levels to go" River says.

"Lovely species, the Aplans. We should visit them some time" the Doctor says.

"I thought they were all dead?" Amy asks.

"So is Virginia Woolf. I'm on her bowling team. Very relaxed, sort of cheerful. Well, that's having two heads, of course. You're never short of a snog with an extra head" the Doctor says.

"{Y/N}, there's something. I don't know what it is" River says from beside {Y/N}.

"Yeah, there's something wrong. Don't know what it is yet, either. Working on it. Of course, then they started having laws against self-marrying. I mean, what was that about? But that's the Church for you. Er, no offense, Bishop" {Y/N} says.

"Quite a lot taken, if that's all right, {Y/N}. Lowest point in the wreckage is only about fifty feet up from here. That way."

"The Church had a point if you think about it. The divorces must have been messy" Amy says.

"Oh" {Y/N} mutters.

"Oh," the Doctor also mutters.

"What's wrong?" Amy asks.

"Oh," River adds, the collective penny has finally dropped.

"Exactly," the Doctor says.

"How could we have not noticed that?" River asks.

"Low-level perception filter, or maybe we're thick," the Doctor says.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"Nobody move. Nobody move. Everyone stay exactly where they are. Bishop, I am truly sorry. We've made a mistake and we are all in terrible danger" {Y/N} says.

"What danger?"

"The Aplans" River says.

"The Aplans?"

"They've got two heads."

"Yes, I get that. So?"

"So why don't the statues? Everyone, over there. Just move. Don't ask questions, don't speak" the Doctor says as they move into an alcove away from the statues.

"Ok, I want you all to switch off your torches" {Y/N} says.

"Sir? Ma'am?"

"Just do it. Ok. I'm going to turn off this one too, just for a moment" {Y/N} says.

"Are you sure about this?" River asks.

"No" the light goes out then back in an instant.

"Oh, my God. They've moved" Amy says, the Doctor and {Y/N} run down the passage, and it is filled statues coming towards them.

"They're Angels. All of them" {Y/N} says.

"But they can't be," River says.

"Clerics, keep watching them," the Doctor says as he and {Y/N} run back to a vantage point of the main cavern. All the statues are climbing up towards them.

"Every statue in this Maze, every single one, is a Weeping Angel. They're coming after us" {Y/N} mutters.
