"Dani, huh?" The Doctor said as the girl rushed over to the window and easily crammed herself through it. "Nice name, Dani, it's a very p-"

The Doctor was cut off when the furious banging on the door began to get louder, and he suddenly saw the metal frame of the door give in to a small dent. He quickly turned to the small window and slowly began to slip his arms and head through.

"I'm the Doctor," the Time Lord replied to Danis question as he gradually appeared through the window, the sound of the alien becoming even louder from inside the room. However, as he reached his chest, his progressed slowed and he grunted as he tried to shove himself through. But nothing.

"Oh dear..."

Of course I'm fine (me and TenthDoctorFan)

"He works himself way too hard, doesn't he?" Donna commented, noticing Jacks sudden discomfort. When she focused her hearing, she could hear light whimpering.

"What does he dream about, Jack?"

"Well, it looks to me like a Travarian. And if it is a Travarian then Earth is in a pretty huge amount of danger." The Doctor replied to the girls question. He then realised that he hadn't even had the chance to ask the young, and now American sounding, girl her name. "Sorry, I didn't catch your name, Miss-?"

But before he had even finished his sentence, a loud and bone-crunching bang emitted from the door and the Doctor took a couple of steps backwards in surprise. They needed to get out of there and fast. Using his keen Time Lord vision, he could see stacks of boxes in the dark room and no other means of escape. However, as he glanced over to the back wall, he spotted what looked like a tiny bit of light coming from behind a tall block of boxes. He instantly rushed over and began to remove the boxes, revealing a small window. That was their escape.

"It's a bit small but it's all we've got." The Doctor commented, removing his sonic from his pocket and scanning the window, hearing a small click as it unlocked. He pulled it open and turned to the young girl. "Come on, you go first." He said to her over the loud bangs coming from the door.

Of course I'm fine (me and TenthDoctorFan)

"You're right, he probably is drained," Donna agreed with Jack. "He doesn't stop. I'm pretty certain he hasn't slept since I started travelling with him. I just kinda figured it was a Time Lordy thing, but...now that I think about it, he has worked himself too hard. Poor old guy."

"Well," The Doctor started, bringing the small object to his face and studying it with an intense stare, "If this is what I think it is, which it probably will be, then I need to test it for an H2O source to identify its planet origins."

The Time Lord got to his feet again and placed the object into his coat pocket. He glanced around at his ship, studying the damage. "She should take at least 48 hours to repair, so I've got plenty of time. Leander, would you mid showing me the way to this 'ancient crater'?"

Leander suddenly began to blurt out questions and intformation to the Time Lord, who simply raised his hand to stop the young man from babbling.

"I'll be fine, I don't need to see a doctor," The Doctor commented, straightening up his back whilst holding in a grunt of pain to try and take the attention away from his injury. "Anyway. to answer your first question, no this isn't a tree house. I'll explain what it is later but right now, I really need to focus on...this!"

The Doctor reached down and picked up the small object that had appeared from the sky a couple of moments earlier. He looked over to Leander. "Is there a river or a lake nearby, Leander?"

Of course I'm fine (me and TenthDoctorFan)

"When isn't he in trouble?" Donna commented jokingly to Jack, whilst she finished making the drinks for her and Jack, taking his over to him and taking a seat at the table.

"How old is the Doctor, Jack?" Donna asked curiously. The Doctor had never really discussed his age with Donna, but she knew that he was old. She could always see it in his eyes. "What happens if it's just a kind of 'old age' illness?"

The Doctor kept a strong grip on the young girls hand as they sprinted around the corridor and down the darkly lit hallway. Office doors zoomed past them as a threatening growl emitted from behind them. The thing was now in pursuit of them. The Doctor knew that they wouldn't be able to outrun it. They had to find another means of escape.

Pulling out his sonic screwdriver again, the Doctor aimed his tool at a large metal door with a sign above it reading 'Storage'. The sound of angry steps behind them almost shrouded the Doctor's thoughts as he crashed into the door and quickly opened it, shoving the young girl in first, and then throwing himself in afterwards. He speedily slammed the door shut and aimed the sonic screwdriver at the lock, hearing a satisfactory 'click'.

Of course I'm fine (me and TenthDoctorFan)

"Yeah," Donna replied to Jack. "It's the Doctor, I'm sure he's been through much worse."

Donna and Jack entered the kitchen and Donna wandered over to the kettle to prepare some tea for her and the time agent. "So Jack, how did you find us? How did you know we were in that castle thing?"

The Doctor was relived when the young girl took his hand without much hesitation and he led her to stand beside him. The night guard continued to keep eye contact with the Time Lord.

"You can give up the act," The Doctor said sternly, tightening his grip on the girls hand. "No wonder my TARDIS picked up a signal here, you certainly don't belong here, do you?" As the Doctor questioned the man, he began to growl. A low threatening growl that began to get louder and louder the more the Doctor spoke. "What are you doing on Earth?"

Suddenly, the man seemed to stop his menacing growling and before the Doctor could say anything more, the human figure of the male began to change. Even through the darkness of the corridor, it was clear to see the mans skin beginning to crawl and change. His once pink skin began to turn green, and the man pilled on pounds of green flesh, growing long clawed hands and a snout that replicated a lizard snout. Without trying to draw to much attention, the Doctor leaned over to the girls ear and whispered into her ear.

"On the count of three, I want you to run with me. Don't let go of my hand, you got that?" He told her firmly. "You ready? One...two...three...RUN!"
