The Reaper

oh Joy

"Sakura?"

"Why do you look so different?"

"I'll explain later, when we're not in danger"

Indra ran over to stand with Rose, Harriet, and I. Margaret turned towards me and hissed.

Suddenly, electricity enveloped Margaret, causing her to roar and convulse in pain.

"Come on!" I yelled to the others. They wasted no time in running past the alien. I was the last to pass her, making sure the others got by safely. Just as I passed, Margaret swung her claws around and just missed me. I turned to the man once we got out of the cabinet room. "Get out! Get everyone out! We'll handle this!" I told him. He hesitated for a moment before nodding and running off. I caught up with Harriet and Rose.

"No, wait," Harriet said, stopping. "They're still in there. The Emergency Protocols. We need them." Just then, Margaret burst through the door and we took off down the hall. The Slitheen chased us through a series of rooms. We stopped at a door and struggled to get it open in our haste to get away from Margaret. I heard the elevator ding and turned to see the Doctor standing there.

"Hello!" The Doctor waved to the Slitheen that had been bearing down on us, distracting it just long enough for us to get the door open. We ran into what appeared to be a sitting room.

"Hide!" Rose yelled. Rose hide behind a cabinet, Harriet behind a screen, and me behind the couch. As I heard Margaret enter the room.

"Oh, such fun. Little human children, where are you? Sweet little humeykins, come to me. Let me kiss you better. Kiss you with my big, green lips," she said sweetly, making kissing noises. I pulled a disgusted face. "My brothers," Margaret said as two more Slitheen entered the room.

"Happy hunting?" One asked.

"It's wonderful. The more you prolong it, the more they stink," Margaret replied gleefully.

"Sweat and fear," the other Slitheen said.

"I can smell an old girl. Stale bird and brittle bones," the first one said.

"And a ripe youngster, all hormones and adrenalin. Fresh enough to bend before she snaps," Margaret said.

"And one full of fire," the second brother said, "she will be difficult to catch."

I heard Rose scream as Margaret pulled back the curtain she had hidden behind. I jumped up. "Hey! Leave her alone!" I yelled and the Slitheen turned towards me. "Take me."

"No! Take me first! Take me!" Harriet yelled, jumping out from her hiding place with her arms raised, gaining the Slitheen's attention. The Doctor came running in with a fire extinguisher. He sprayed one of the male Slitheen in the face.

"Out, with me!" He yelled. Rose pulled the curtain down over Margaret's head before all three of us ran behind the Doctor.

"Who the hell are you?" The Doctor asked Harriet.

"Rude!" I yell at him.

"Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North." Harriet replied.

"Nice to meet you," the Doctor greeted quickly.

"Likewise." The Doctor sprayed the Slitheen again and we all ran out.
