The Forgotten

Chapter 2

The doors to the TARDIS burst open and spilled out the coughing trio and billowing smoke. "What is wrong with you!" The Doctor exclaimed at the box. Worry painting his face. "It's like she's upset with me." Smoke was coming out of the open doors.

"Maybe use less mallet next time." Rory was standing by the Doctor staring at the police box. It had been their home for so long he was starting to grow attached to the ruddy thing. Every time the Doctor pulled out the rubber mallet Rory would flinch and stroke the nearest part of the TARDIS.

"Where are we?" Amy wandered around outside breathing in the smell of pine. They were in a forest that much she knew but beyond that she had no clue. "When are we?" She wondered out loud.

"DOCTOR WE NEED TO MOVE THE TARDIS!" Rory yelled in a panic.

"She doesn't want to listen to me. Why?! What's wrong?!" The Doctor bounded over to Rory who was knelt down on the ground. There was a body right next to the TARDIS what looked like a wing was pinned underneath. The Doctor stared in horror and immediately began pushing the TARDIS off. "Help me you two!" He yelled out.

Amy ran over and helped Rory and the Doctor push the TARDIS over. After many attempts and a lot of "sorry"s from the Doctor, they managed to topple her over. The TARDIS groaned in objection to being practically kicked aside. "Well maybe if you didn't land on people we wouldn't!" The Doctor snapped at the box.

He knelt down next to the body. It was a girl and she still had a pulse,but it was rapid, her wings stretched out beside her. They seemed sturdy since they toppled trees over when they had fallen at her side. They were magnificent, almost 3 meters each. A few feathers were bent in odd ways which made the Doctor feel extremely guilty. He ran his fingers along the bones to see if anything was broken, asking Rory the nurse to do the same to the other wing. After delicate inspection they assumed nothing was broken. She was just unconscious.

They folded up the girls wings and got to putting the TARDIS upright, which was easier said than done. After the task was complete the Doctor ran into the TARDIS straight to the medical bay. He grabbed all he could including blankets a lamp and two torches. He didn't want to move her until she was conscious.

When he ran back outside he was greeted with an odd sight. The girl had moved. She had cocooned herself in her wings, a motionless bundle of feathers. He set the things down and ran over to her. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and began waving it around her.

"That's odd." He announced to his companions. "Oh this is wonderful!" He exclaimed suddenly bouncing on the balls of his feet. He looked like a kid at Christmas. "Look! Look! Look at it and tell me what it says!" The Doctor shoved the screwdriver in Amy's face.

"I don't see anything." She answers wearily.

"Exactly!" The Doctor jumped with glee and ran back over to the feathered bundle. "The sonic isn't picking anything up! I have no idea what species this is!" He liked his finger and stuck it in the air then licked it again. As if tasting the air. "Earth, we're on earth. Earth. But why are you on earth? What business have you on earth?" He stared at the feathers in wonder.

Dean shoved his way through the forest. Gun ready and flashlight beaming. He could hear the other two behind him. Cas was burning hand prints into trees every now and then to mark their way. Sam was calling out.

"Meredith!"

"Wings where are Ya!" Dean joined in the chorus.

"Hey Cas, is there anyway you could like lock onto her and fly over?" Sam asked.

Cas shook his head. "She's hidden from me. All angles in fact. Much like the ward I burned into your ribs, only its naturally a part of her."

Sam sighed. It was worth a shot. They had to find her. Maybe her wing was broken like when she showed up at the bunker. That took two months to heal and three until she could fly again. He couldn't bare to think of her injured. She'll be fine. Right?
