I lay awake in a windowless cell that River moved me to. I pull weakly at the chained that attach me to the wall. It was useless. I couldn't brake free from these emotional and physical chains holding me down. I lost hope in The Doctor. I hung my head and sighed.

I looked up and jumped at the sight of River ready for my next daily beating. She raised her hand and slapped me hard across the face. I fell to the ground. From there, she kicked my as hard as she could in the gut. I winced in pain. For her final move, she took her belt and whipped me hard in the back. I arched my back and clenched my teeth in pain. I tried to scream, but my throat was too dry, and all that came out was a little tiny croak.

I closed my eyes and tried to deal with the sprouting pain all over my body. Tears rolled down cheek in oceans. I let them roll down for a while. I looked at all my cuts and black and blue bruises. I stared at them until I heard the sound that I took as a sonic screwdriver.

I try to cover up all my marks that River caused me, but it doesn't work. My clothes are to torn. Just then, a bow-tied alien peaked his head through the door. He opened his eyes wide when he saw me all scraped up and skinny to the bone. It has been a couple weeks since River captured me. I looked to the ground embarrassed.

"What has she done to you?" He said with concern filling is voice. I just stayed quiet. "We have to get you out of here. He soniced my chained and helped me up. I could barely stand. He finally decided to pick me up bridal style and run me to the Tardis.

DOCTORS POV***

I finally found were she was and got her out. He was just skin and bones when I saw her. I knew I had to get her out. I picked her up and sprinted towards the Tardis.

"What are you doing with my prisoner?" we ran into River right before we got to the Tardis. She had so many emotions in her eyes, some I couldn't read. I could tell she was angry that Dakota was taking me away from her, jealous because of the same reason, but the one I didn't why was sadness. There was a huge amount of sadness.

"Why are you sad, River?" I asked scarcely. She hesitated before tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Why should I tell you?" she snapped back at me. I looked deep into her eyes.

"I see all the emotions just tell me," I tried to stay calm and handle this in a kindly fashion. She hesitated as she looked to the floor.

"You love Dakota more than me!" she crossed her arms as tears continue to roll down her cheeks in oceans. I put Dakota down for a second. I looked into her eyes as she smiled. She understood.

"I could never love Dakota more than you." I lied as I put my hands around her wist. She smiled as if she wanted me to do something. She has finally forgiven me, Dakota, and especially, herself.

"Go," she ordered. "Go off with Dakota. Take her to places she would never get to see on her own. " She pecked me on the lips as she stepped back. I went over to Dakota and picked her back up. I turned to River to ask her a question.

"When will I see you again?" She put a finger to her lips.

"Spoilers," and with that see left. I ran to the Tardis with Dakota. I looked back to see if River was there, but she wasn't. I sighed, smiled, and turned toward the Tardis.
