Alone Together (Doctor Who Fan Fic)

Kidnapped... and Betrothed

Sorry this took so long to upload. School is insane. Literally. One week to completely put together an eight minute video with a storyboard and only two days where my whole group could meet up after school and no days to work in class. Ugh. And I know that's no excuse but we had homework piled on top of this as well and that's only form one class. That is not even considering the homework from all my other classes and college applications and dealing with drama and dance and community service and scholarships and don't be a Senior guys. It's just not worth it. Seriously.

When you came to, you almost screamed. The room you were in was elegant. The walls made of some stone that shimmeredan iridescent green in the light . There was an open balcony to the left and the bed your were on had some sort of soft, smooth sheets and felt like laying on a cloud. However, this was not the source of your anxiety.

Sitting on the bed, not more than a foot away from you, was the man you had seen in the carriage. He smiled at you when you shot up from where you were laying and scooted back, almost afraid. No. Really afraid. He kidnapped you and probably drugged you so you would pass out! Who knows what he would do next?

"Angel, don't be frightened." the man said, holding his arms out. You looked at him skeptically, one eyebrow raised. There was no way you were going anywhere near that psycho. "No harm will come to you here. Do not be afraid." You shook your head and scooted further away from him. He frowned for a minute.

"I don't know if you noticed, but you kidnapped me, dude." You said to him with a bit of honesty but mostly sarcasm. His frown deepened.

"What do you mean, 'kidnapped'? Your family will be informed as soon as possible. You are in no danger. You are allowed to leave the palace at anytime. You are no prisoner here." He said. This confused you. Why make you pass out if he was going to just let you leave?

"Well, then I guess that means that I will be going then...?" you said, almost questionably. He smiled and nodded so you stood and started walking towards the door. However, when you were about half way around the bed, psycho rich guy stood up and started following you towards the door. You stopped before you grabbed the handle and turned to glare at him. "What are you doing?"

"Going outside with you." He replied simply and you scowled.

"Why?"

"Because I am also not a prisoner here and thus free to follow you." He said with a large smirk. You sighed at this logic shook your head.

"Fine, whatever. Tag along if you want." He seemed a little confused when you said tag but he seemed to accept your reluctant acceptance of his company as he still followed you. When you got outside the room, the hallway, made from the same material as the room you were in. You looked to the rich guy and he smiled and took the lead. You followed closely behind him.

"So, what are you called?" the man asked. You shrugged, figuring that if the man wanted to keep you prisoner, he wouldn't be leading you outside to your freedom.

"(y/n)." You said, looking down. You felt kind of awkward now, following him when you were the one who wanted to leave in the first place. "What about you? What's your name?" He chuckled for some unfathomable reason.

"They call me Nyrlkaar Redgydin. You, however, may call me Naalyn." He said it like it was some sort of honor and you had to snort.

"Alright, Naalyn, then I have a question. Why did you take me here?" He nodded though he didn't turn around. He looked back at me with a smile.

"Because you are my Forever One." You blinked. Unsure of what that meant, you just gave him a slight smile although you were swimming in circles in your head. 'Forever One'? What the hell is that?

"That's nice..." It was then that you realized that the two of you had made it outside into the alien landscape. Although, to him it must be like taking a stroll in your own backyard. You also noticed how close he was standing to you so you took this new site as an excuse to move away. "This is amazing!" You said, referring to what must have been some sort of garden as you turned away from the man and took a couple steps to be safe. There were multi-colored flowers, stone benches and all sorts statues littered about the area in front of you. It was almost enough to take your breath away.

As Naalyn was explaining the different flowers, talking to you as though he expected you to know some of them, you had to admit that this was nice. Boring, but nice. It was on the umpteenth flower that you heard it; that miraculous and wondrous sound. Your head shot up, recognizing the sound from the only time you had traveled in it. Then you spot it, materializing only a few feet away from where you and Naalyn were standing, was the TARDIS. Overcome with excitement you ran up to the TARDIS right as the doors opened and the Doctor was standing there. His determined face quickly morphed into one of surprise when you ran up and hugged him, well... tackled would be a more apt description.

The two of you fell back and the Doctor looked at you, still shocked as his eyebrows scrunched together in confusion.

"What?" he asked. Sort of understanding his general confusion you clearified.

"Yeah, this guy over here," you said, jerking your thumb back at Naalyn standing behind you. " ... Doesn't know how to kidnap people very well, plus I figured the TARDIS could find me, eventually, and my escape plan would probably take way longer than you finding me anyway. Not to mention he was letting me go wherever I wanted and wasn't hurting me. He was just being really creepy. Said stuff about 'Forever One' or something. Weird." You rambled, realizing only now, that you hadn't even thought of escaping. You just knew the Doctor would try to find you. The Doctors eyes then shot up as you finally got up off of him and turned to face Naalyn, who didn't look very happy.

"Hello, I would kindly ask that you refrain from future contact with my soon-to-be wife." Naalyn said, as he stood, glaring at the Doctor with his arms crossed. The Doctor crossed his arms as well but you were too shocked to say anything. 'Soon-to-be wife'? That's ridiculous! There's no way you'd marry Naalyn. You weren't even from the same planet for crying out loud! The Doctor and Naalyn started going at it, the Doctor saying what he thought you would feel in this situation and Naalyn arguing that it was tradition and you had already consented by not rejecting the proposal when you first woke up, but before they could get very far, you moved to stand between them. You silenced both males arguing around you with a look to each before turning to Naalyn.

"Look, Naalyn. I'm flattered, honestly, that you want me to be your wife. But, to put it bluntly, it's never going to happen. I don't know you, you don't know me," At this Naalyn opened his mouth to speak but you held up a finger to keep him silent,"and you didn't even ask me. I would have straight out refused when I woke up if I had known. Which I didn't. And kidnapping is a lousy way to propose." You told him before turning to the Doctor.

"Thanks for coming to rescue me but I don't need you to talk for me. I can come up with plenty of good reasons not to marry this guy." And with that, generally pissed off at the situation, you walked into the TARDIS, leaning up against the rails and waiting for the Doctor to come back inside. You didn't have to wait long. Soon, the Doctor walked silently past you to the console and sighed as he started pressing buttons and pulling levers in what seemed like no particular order. Soon, the time rotor started pumping and you could hear the noise; the miraculous noise from earlier that had filled your heart with hope. The Doctor was silent as he turned to look at you sheepishly. He was about to open his mouth to apologize when you held up your hand, smiling at his confused face. "No, don't apologize. There's no need." The Doctor looked more confused.

"What? But you were right. I was-" You shook your head.

"No. I was right, and I know it. And I can tell you're sorry by looking at your face. Just don't speak for me when I can speak for myself. Remember that and I'll drop it, deal?" The Doctor smiled his biggest smile when you stuck out your hand.

"Deal." He said giving your hand a shake and returning to the console. You walked up next to him and turned to look at him.

"So where to next?" You asked and he smiled looking at you with a fire burning behind his eyes as he pulled a lever that threw the two of you hurtling into the Time Vortex.
