"Where's Martha!" The Doctor screamed. The pig man scrambled to hide. "What've you done with her!"  I put a hand on the Doctor's back.

"The others...they don't try to hide like that." I pointed out.  

"I didn't take her." The Doctor looked at me.

"He can talk." I whispered. We moved, standing directly behind him as he hid his face in the wall.

"Can you remember your name?"  The Doctor asked.

"Don't look at me." I reached forward, putting a hand on his shoulder He winced.

"Do you know where she is?" Tallulah asked, walking foreword.

"Stay back! Don't look at me!" 

"What happened to you?" I questioned.

"They made me a monster." He looked at me, revealing he was only half pig man. His hair was normal, but his ears were pointed,  his eyes drooped and the bottom of his nose was a snout, but it was still shaped like a normal nose.

"Who did?" The Doctor asked.

"The Masters."

"The Daleks. Why?"

"They needed slaves." He replied, "They needed slaves to steal more people so they created us. Part animal, part human. I escaped before they got my mind, but...it was still too late."

"Do you know what happened to Martha?" 

"They took her. It's my fault, she was following me."

"Were you in the theatre?" Tallulah asked.

"I never...yes."

"Why? Why were you there?" She shot back.

"I never wanted you to see me like this."

"Why me? What I got to do with this? Were you following me? Is that why you was there?" She took a few more steps forward. He moved away from the wall, turning to face her. I moved back towards the Doctor.

"Yes." She backed up slightly.

"Who are you?" I reached back, grabbing onto the Doctor's coat, his tie rubbing against my wrist.

"I was lonely."

"Who are you?" She repeated, walking even closer to him.

"I needed to see you."

"Who are you?" She was right beside him now.

"I'm sorry." He told her.  He turned away, but she grabbed his arm.

"No, wait. Let me look at ya." She pushed him back into the light. "Lazlo? My Lazlo?" She touched his face, fixing his jumpsuit collar, tears in her eyes. "What've they done to you?"

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." The Doctor put a hand on my elbow, gently moving my hand and stepping up beside Lazlo.

"Lazlo, can you show us where they are?"

"They'll kill you."

"If we don't stop them, they'll kill everyone." I replied, the images from before flashing through my mind again. He looked back at Tallulah, who smiled sadly at him, then back to us.

"Then follow me." He stepped around Tallulah, and the Doctor did too, pulling me along behind him.

We peered around the corner to see a heard of pig men. They were all snorting nervously.

"SILENCE! SILENCE!"An electronic voice said. The same voice filled my memory again, only this time saying "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"   I grabbed the Doctor's hand again, and he gave me a knowing look, squeezing it.
