Faking Human Ch. 2

"Sabryna, come along!"

A short blonde haired woman scowled at a rather attractive man. He had thick waves of light brown hair and a pale complexion making his pink cheeks stand out on his face. Hidden behind a set of thick lashes, was a pair of hazel brown eyes. He stuck his hand out for the woman and she took it as they continued running.

"Keep running!" she called out, her pale green eyes wide with terror, "I think they're gaining on us!"

"Guess this wasn't the best planet to picnic on, huh?" he laughed flashing her a smile.

She let out a hysterical laugh, "Oh, yeah, like you didn't know that the planet was home to the Vermisacé!! You know, those flesh eating bats that are following us?!?!?!"

"Are they bats? Huh, I thought they were flying rats. Oh well, keep running! We're almost to the Tardis!" he smiled down at her, their fingers intertwined.

She scowled at him, "I really hate you sometimes. Taking me all over the place, and you knowing full well that there is something dangerous there. You're so mean to me."

"That's not true. I don't know that there's something dangerous on every planet."

"Most planets."

"More like a few."

"...All of them. Now come on! I want to be safe inside the Tardis!"

The two of them kept running, the bats following, their mouths open and dripping a skin numbing venom. They ran over logs and through trees before they finally came across a big blue phone box. The man let go of her hand and ran to the box and quickly opened it. He stepped inside and held out his hand, "Come on Sabryna!"

She surged the last few feet and flew into the Tardis, knocking him to the ground and kicking the door closed at the same time. The two of them laid there, laughing for a while before they calmed and stood up. They looked at each other with smiles before they stepped apart.

"So, where to now? Woman Wept? Cheem? Oh! We could go to Romulus!" the blonde smiled as she walked over to what looked like a console.

The man hummed behind her as he thought it over in his head, "We could go to Remus instead."

"Remus then Romulus?" she smiled, her green eyes sparkling with excitement.

"I think that sounds good," he smiled as he stood next to her and pulled a lever, turned a knob, and dinged a bell. "But first... there's something I need you to do."

"What's that?" she asked, a smile on her face as she looked at him.

He looked at her and placed his hands on either side of her face, "I need you to wake up."

"What? But I am awake," she said firmly.

"Sabryna... You're dreaming. I need you to wake up and promise me something," he said softly.

"But I am awake!" she pleaded softly, her eyes stinging with unshed tears.

"Sabryna, listen to me. I need you to wake up. But you have to remember who I am. It's very important. Do you understand? You need to wake up and remember who I am," he said as his hands dropped to her shoulders and he squeezed them tightly.

"But... but I do know who you are! You're... You're..." a frown crossed her face as her brows furrowed in confusion. "I can't... I can't remember you're name... Why can't I remember you're name?!"
