The Lost Series : Christmas Special

The Doctor and Kitty were carried inside the massive crystalline castle and taken down into it's dark, cold depths to a make-shift prison. Numerous Tomtenisse lay, coughing and wheezing, too sick to move inside thier prison cells, some laying or leaning against the wall, grey and very still. 

Too still. 

The Guard tossed them inside one of the cells and left with loud echoing heavy footsteps. 

"This is awful!" Kitty whispered, more to herself than to the Doctor. It wasn't being held captive that was bothering her, but the suffering of the sick Tomtenisse scattered all around her. 

"Ah...It's just a prison." The Doctor commented, already his specs were on and he was crouched on the floor inspecting the thick beams of quartz that locked them in. 

  "What about the Shadow Proclamation...." Kitty voiced 

"Your idea didn't work...now lets try mine..." 

"Alright, stop rubbing it in. At least I had a plan." Kitty wasn't in the mood for the Doctor's light-hearted criticism. "And I mean, how do we contact them? CAN we contact them?" 

The doctor paused...."we could.....come over here." 

"what?" 

"Come over here, just for a second." The Doctor motioned her toward him. She stepped forward. "sonic." he asked grinning. Curiously, she handed it to him. She watched as he used both of the Sonic devices pressed either side against one of the Quartz bars. It hummed loudly, making them both wince. The bar shook and vibrated, glowing a mixture of golden, blue and hot yellow before finally it cracked. 

The Doctor kicked the cracked bar and the bottom half  fell to the ground with a thud. 

"Right, stand here." The Doctor instructed. 

"why?" She asked slowly

"here, come on!" 

"fine." Kitty obeyed the Doctor, sorely hoping he was not about to ask her to do what she thought he was. 

"Through you go." 

"Are you crazy!? I can't fit through there." she protested.

The doctor measured her height with his hands and then put it against the bars, then he measured her width and did the same-just to prove his point. "Doctor's little helper." he grinned "Through you go." 

"Fine-but if I get stuck-"

"you won't get stuck."

The Doctor watched with some amusement as his petite companion ducked down and began to wiggle through the short slim gap he had created through the bars. 

Finally she stood up on the other side. "Now, you. Do that thing again-make a bigger gap." 

The doctor shook his head. "Take these" he offered her the sonic devices. His screwdriver and her pen. "Go back to the Tardis-use the highest settings, one either side...."

A large crystalline hand landed hard on Kitty's shoulder, almost making her fall to her knees, before she was hoisted up by her hood. Her quick thinking made sure she at least grabbed her sonic pen from the Doctors outstretched hand. 

 "Hello again!" He heard her squeak. 

Red glowing eyes appeared on the other side of the bars with a growl.

"Not a very good prison." The Doctor grinned "Not when you have a timelord with a Sonic screwdriver captive, sorry." 

The crystalline being grunted before turning away, dragging Kitty with him.
