Weeping Angels - Turns off museum lights

‘Behind us,’ cried Rory, pointing. The six Weeping Angels stood at the top of the stairs at the end of the hall.

All frozen in the process of lowering their hands from their faces.

‘Everyone look towards the Angels,’ said the Doctor.

‘Well be absolutely fine so long as…’

K-chunk! K-chunk!

The electric lights at the end of the hall flickered and went out. Rory yelped in surprise.

‘You had to say it, didn’t you?’ muttered Amy sharply to the Doctor. ‘You had to say it!’

K-chunk!

‘Keep moving,’ said the Doctor. ‘Just keep moving!’

Amy and the others slowly backed away as the lights in the middle of the hall went out. Now the only remaining lights were those behind them. In front of them, Amy could make out the sinister, shadowy shapes of the statues of centaurs and nymphs, knowing that somewhere in the blackness the Angels were lurking, waiting for the final set of lights to go out.

K-chunk!

The final set of lights went out. It was as if Amy had closed her eyes.

As they reached the museum entrance, Amy grabbed the security guard, the same guard who they’d spoken to in the tunnel. ‘You’ve got to turn the lights back on!’

He shrugged quizzically. ‘I did not turn out lights.’

‘Well somebody did!’ yelled Amy. ‘There’s still somebody in there. In the dark!’

The security guard snorted and walked slowly over to a switchboard. Rory and Mark caught up with Amy, Mark red-faced with the exertion, Rory wearing his usual worried expression.

‘Hurry up!’ urged Amy.

The security guard made a ‘tch’ noise then flicked down a succession of switches. The hallway behind them flickered into yellow light.

‘Thank you,’ said Amy, muttering under her breath, ‘at last.’ With the security guard leading the way, they hurried back through the brightly lit museum.
