Doctor Who and the Cabin of Hunger

Episode One

Zakopane, Poland, 1932.

A British blue Police Box, a spaceship/time machine called "TARDIS" (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) materialised in the forest of the Tatra Mountains nearby the town, not too far from the border with Czechoslovakia. From there, a 6 years old-looking child came out of it. He was a beautiful child, with medium-length wavy brown hair, emerald eyes and freckles on his cheeks. He was wearing anachronistic garments for the era he was currently in: A dark green frock coat, grey-ish waistcoat, a green cravat, white trousers, knee-high black socks and brown shoes, making him look like either the son of an English nobleman or a child cosplaying Oscar Wilde.

This boy however wasn't a normal human child, he was an alien traveller, a renegade Time Lord known only as the Doctor.

"Woah...Look at this view!" He said, admiring the town from the forest with childlike glee, "Eastern Europe sure has great rural landscapes, doesn't it?"

Curious by this new location, the Doctor decided to go for the exploration.

He closed the door of the TARDIS with his key and ran through the forest.

He didn't know why he was running, but he thought it would feel nice doing that.

It was a great idea doing that, it gave the Doctor a quick and great landscape, feeling surrounded by so much green felt lovely. Until he reached a cabin. It was small and made of wood, located on a hill and a dirt path leading to it.

"A cabin in the middle of a forest?" he thought, "Quite an unusual place to live in. There's a high chance a psychotic mass murder lives there so that the Police and curious strangers couldn't bother them...Let's go check it!"

And so he did, he cautiously approached the cabin he noticed someone taking mushrooms and various food from the trees near the cabin. That person was a short young woman, presumably in her early 20s. She had short, slightly messy brown hair and blue eyes and was wearing a black blouse with an orange dress on top of it and a necklace with a blue pendant.

"She must be a local." the Doctor thought.

Not wanting to bother her, he distanced himself.

However, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings and accidentally crashed into a tree, attracting the girl's attention.

She went to help him. "Hey, are you okay?" She lends her hand to him.

The Doctor took it and managed to stand up. "I think so, I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. Thank you."

"You're a bit clumsy, you know?" The girl chuckled, "I'm Mariah, what's your name?"

"Smith, John Smith." the Doctor used his fake identity, "But for my friends I'm the Doctor. Nice to meet you, Mariah. Are you from here?"

Mariah seemed a bit reluctant to answer. "Well...Not really. I'm from Ukraine, I'm here with my friends."

"An Ukrainian? We're a bit far from it, maybe she's having a holiday with her friends?" the Doctor thought, scrutinising Mariah's face.

"Say, "Doctor", where are your parents?" Mariah asked."Huh? Well..." the Doctor thought of a believable excuse, "I don't know. I think I got lost...Oh! Idea! Can I stay with you for the meantime?" He tilted his head.

Mariah nodded. "Sure, why not? I think the others will like you. Follow me!"

After the Doctor helped Mariah with gathering mushrooms and other stuff, they entered the cabin.
