Arrival - Open

[nicerearbumper]

She felt her palms, slick and sweaty grope around the handle as tight as she could but she was slipping and she knew it. Slowly she slipped a tiny centimeter, by centimeter and she wasn't quite sure if she could do this. If she could actually hold on for that long. She didn't think she could. Somewhere in the midst of panic, she started to scream

Ellie didn't understand why everyone wanted to return home but then these days for her, home was the middle of a War. She'd lost all her friends and as the days passed it seemed ever more doubtful that she'd reunite with her parents.

The most she could do was remember them. Remember and introduce them to new and various other people via her diaries. She'd spent the past few weeks updating it, right up to the moment she'd been brought here. She was making the finishing touches now and soon she'd seek out the Doctor. She'd promised to let him read it after all.

Eyes dead and a wad of paper on her lap, pen in her hand Ellie looked up when the door opened. Another new person.

"Hi."

Rose looked slightly relieved that there was someone there who appeared to be alive. She was alive right? The Doctor said there wasn't such things as ghosts, and she'd never believed any of that anyways. Especially since the last time she saw 'ghosts' they turned out to be Cybermen. This girl though, looked quite alive and she was talking to her.

"Um.. hi."

Of course she looked confused. She didn't want to ask if she was dead, or if they both were and risk getting laughed at. "You don't suppose you could tell me.. um.. where I am, could you?" as she looked around the place, it looked less like a haunted mansion and more like.. well a haunted mansion that people lived in.

Like a lived in look before there was some psychopath who went around and slaughtered people. That's what it looked like. Rose was beginning to have doubts again about whether or not she was dead. Hopefully this girl would know where she was, and what was going on. It's not like she could tell her she fell through a void.

Ellie stared up at the new arrival, it almost seemed as if she stared through her. Inside she was attempting to determine if she was a threat or not. Her fight then flight reflexes were still going strong. Even if she didn't jump at the slightest noise any more.

She shrugged at the question before placing her wads of paper beside her and resting the pen reverentially on top, "Hotel California. I'm Ellie. Ellie Linton." She greeted the woman but made no move to stand up. If you looked close enough it might seem as if she tried ever-so-slightly to bury herself into the wall a little bit though.

Rose couldn't quite tell if the woman was frightened or not. She kind of looked that way. But then it was hard to tell when you were someplace different. "Hotel.. California? Like that song?" she'd only heard it like once or twice, but it was one of those things that you just knew even if you didn't hear it all the time.

"I'm.. not going to hurt you. I just.. it's a long story I guess. Don't know how I got here." she dusted herself off. "Just one sore bottom. Are you.. all alone in here?" she kind of hoped she wasn't on one hand, and the other hand she hoped she was.
