Trapped

Chapter 4

She opens her eyes slowly. Where is she? This isn't the Castle. Did she? Oh that's right. She got out. She won the game. Finally. It was so long. She can still feel it's breath, still hears the flies, can still feel the way it burns her when it touches her sk- No. Don't think about it.- What about her friends? Are they okay? Did she get to them in time?

It takes her a few moments to register the concerned faces above her. But she can't focus on them right now. She needs to find Bill and Clara. Needs to make sure they're okay. She has to find them! But where is she?

If she was on the TARDIS she would be in her room. This room is different. It's not Clara's or Bill's either. It's not even Rose's. So where is she? And why does her head hurt so much?

"Where?" She starts, but can't finish it. She feels the darkness try to pull her back in before she sees it. But she's got to find Bill and Clara! They need her help! It's Missy! She's gonna kill them! But the dark looks so inviting. Maybe just a moment- no. She has to find them. They need her.

"Hey, Doc, how're you feeling?" She hears the question and looks towards it's speaker.

"Who are you? Where am I? What have you done with Bill and Clara?" Her voice is low, dangerous but also so far away. Everything sounds foreign to her ears. Another person speaks still male, but different.

"Don't you remember us?" She can't think. If she knows them, she should have them in her memory bank. But she's pulling a blank. Nothing matches then in the database. She's standing. Trying to anyways.

That's strange didn't the floor used to be further down? And why are the people in the room taller than her? Normally she's the tallest person in the room.

"What have you done to them?" It suddenly hits her why everything looks sounds and feels different. She's regenerated. She hopes she didn't hurt Bill and Clara with her energy.

But something's wrong. She couldn't have only just regenerated. She felt comfortable in this body. That normally didn't happen until about a month or two after having the body. And even then it's only if she's been moving in the body.

How long ago did she regenerate? Where are Bill and Clara? She has to find them. She needs to. Before they get hurt.

"Doctor, calm down. We don't know who you're talking about. It's us. Ryan," The girl points to the youngest man in the room. "Yaz" points to herself. "and Graham." Yaz points to the other man.

"Where are we?" She needs to know. She wants to know. She has to know.

"We're in the TARDIS." The 'In Yaz's room' goes unsaid but is heard. They're all looking at her with concern, but she doesn't know them.

"Where are Bill and Clara?" She yells upwards. It doesn't matter what direction she yelled. The TARDIS could always hear her. Always.

You know where they are. You just have to look deep enough in your mind.

It's the only response her ship will give. She searches her mind and finds an unwanted answer. "No. They can't be." Her ship beeps. It's telling her that it's sorry. They both died a long time ago.

But they can't have!

She cries.

I don't believe that! I can't!
