The Doctor's Daughter (Doctor Who FanFic) #Wattys2016

Chapter 26- Rexy and a Clue

Danielle's POV

"Dad?!"

He laughs fiendishly, continuing down the narrow path. A branch snaps back, making him fall backwards slightly. "I installed a security system in the TARDIS a while back."

Rose rolls her eyes, moving a twig so I can duck under it. "Yeah, but no human can crack it. Only time lords and those who have travelled with the Doctor for months."

I cross my arms, allowing the leaves to hit my father in the face. "He's a human! He's never going to be able to figure it out!"

The Doctor chuckles. "Pfft... Then he's not good enough for my daugh-"

"Dad! Please tell me there's a safety question!" He raises a shoulder, wiping sweat from his nose. "Well, the first question is what color are the War Doctor's eyes?"

"Brown." I reply simply.

I nearly run over my father as he stops dead in his tracks. Rose peeks over my shoulder. "What? Doctor, what's wrong?"

"You shouldn't know that, Danny. How could you possibly know that?" I shrug, running my fingers through my hair. "I dunno. I guess I know a lot of things I can't explain. Like math, I can do calculations faster than any of the other students.. And teachers."

He stares straight for a moment, before cracking his knuckles. "Alright, we can talk about this later, but for now, let's leave Rexy to sleep."

I tilt my head in confusion, stepping back as he moves backwards. "Who's Rexy?"

He shushes me, making me ever more curious. "Shhh... Rose, keep going slowly. That, Danny, is Rexy."

I glance over his shoulder, seeing a giant dinosaur, a T-rex in fact, lying not ten meters (thirty feet) in front of us. Another, smaller one, lies a few inches away, curled next to it.

"Rexy and Rexy Jr." I correct, my heart beating faster. "Oh course, of all places and times to get stranded from the TARDIS, we end up in a place full of people-eating things."

"You do realize that their diet doesn't normally consist of humans?"

I roll my eyes at his comment. "That doesn't mean they aren't willing to be a little adventurous!" I whisper loudly, a soft growl echoing from the chest of the beast.

"Once we get a few more meters away, we might want to run..."

Both T-Res come awake suddenly, roaring mightily. "Take that back... RUN!"

Calvin's POV

I pace back and forth. "'My stem's planted firmly', 'I say cage, but not page'? What the heck? I've never heard anything like it! You have to give me a hint!"

The hologram scratches back to life. "Alright, but this is the last hint. Now listen very closely, because I shall only say this once."

I stop pacing.

"Not sum ice."

And the projection disappears, turning into thin air once again. "Not some ice? What?....."

I shake my head, massaging my temples. It can't be water, that doesn't make sense. Did he really say, 'not some ice'?....

Or was it 'not sum ice'?

Could it be an anagram?

Alright guys! I thought this might be fun!

That clue made it pretty obvious (maybe ;) ) but help Calvin out!

What could the anagram be? If y'all can figure it out I'll make sure to upload again by Thursday (or maybe even Tuesday)
