The Doctor's POV

"I look around but can't see anyone. Just then someone jumped out from behind a box.

Luke?" I ask puzzled. 

"Doctor," Luke says putting the gun down.

"What's with the gun? Where is your mother?" I ask quickly.

"Oh yeah sorry about the gun. Sarah Jane passed away last year," he says looking sad bringing the conversation up. I can't believe it! Sarah Jane can't be dead, oh no.

"The funeral was missing you but you couldn't be found," says Luke.

"I'm so sorry Luke. I had no idea. Where is this?" I ask.

"I hoped you could tell me. I have this gun for my protection, but only because of being in this place. I was with Clyde, Rani and then I was here," he says.

"With your mother not alive, maybe someone wants you because," I began.

"Because I'm the perfect human, yeah maybe. Don't worry Doctor though. Clyde, Rani and I have been protecting earth carrying on from her and with my little sister or you could call her that. I hope she is okey. I had left her at school. I have no idea if Rani and Clyde would of picked her up. I do hope they did," Luke sighs.

"Don't worry Luke I am here now, I can take you back in the Tardis," I smile.

"That be great, Doctor," Luke smiles.

"Maybe not yet," says River as she comes out the Tardis behind me.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Tardis seems too not want to respond, Hey I'm River," she introduces herself.

"I'm Luke."

"I'm Merlin," Merlin said from within the Tardis.

"Merlin? Don't tell me that's the Merlin?" Luke asks.

"How do you know about him?" I ask Luke.

"Read about him," Luke says.

"Of course you did. So Luke why do you need the gun? When have you or Sarah Jane needed a gun?" I ask. 

"Since I nearly died. I've come close to death quite a lot, being with my mum but the creatures that are here. They already got me once. Next time I won't be so lucky," he says.

"What do you mean got you once?" asks River looking interested.

Luke lifts up his sleeve and shows the deep cut on his arm. It looks sore, bleeding still slightly and inflamed maybe even a little bit off colour. "River I think it could be infected. How long do you think the Tardis will take, I don't even know why I'm asking you about my Tardis," I say.

"At least an hour or two."

"Great hopefully we won't be killed by then. We must leave as soon as its ready," I say.

"I could heal Luke," says Merlin as he comes out from the Tardis and over to Luke.

"You have healing magic?" Luke asks.

"Yes I do. As much as that may seem strange or odd its true," says Merlin before he places his hand on Luke's arm and begins to say a spell. It was quite interesting as I couldn't understand it and the Tardis translates everything, but I guess it can't translate what's not meant to be real or known before by the Time Lords.

I watch as Luke arm heals and smile as Luke looks relieved and amazed. "Wow, I can't believe you just did that. Thanks Merlin," smiles Luke.

"No problem, Luke."

Luke's POV

"This is where I was attacked," I tell the Doctor as I lead them into a tight corridor.

"I see how you could struggle to get away. How did you get away?"

"I found the gun and I used it against it. It fled, still alive. Not even the gun killed it. I didn't want too Kill it but in that moment, when its your life or there's you can't help but panic. I'm sorry, Doctor. I'm not sure what they are or what they want," I say to him.

"It's not your fault Luke, you don't have to say sorry. Right plan of action. I want you three to stick together and go back to the Tardis. I'm having a quick look around and then I'll be straight back," The Doctor says.

"You can't get rid of us that easily sweetie," smiles River.

"River do this for me.

"Alright."

We watch as The Doctor walks off. "Come on then, back to the Tardis," smiles River.

"Sorry but who are you too the Doctor?" I ask.

"Ah, I'm his wife Luke his wife," she beams.

"That explains a lot," I laugh.

"Exactly what I thought," Merlin laughs.

I yell was heard nearby. "Doctor!" shouts River running back the opposite way we where meant to be heading. I looked at Merlin and he nodded his head. We both ran after her, The Doctor could be in trouble.

If he is, we may not make this out alive.
