Part 2

"I just checked the doors. They're locked." Cassidy said.

"Perfect time to test the sonic screwdriver," I replied. I got the screwdriver over the lock and pressed the button. There was a brightish light, and a second later, the doors were unlocked.

"It's the real thing, alright," I said as I pulled open the doors. We closed them when we got in, so no suspicion would come up.

"This place gives me the creeps..." Cassidy whispered.

"Like the creepy kitties?" I whispered back.

"Yep." We walked down the halls until we came down a hallway with a lot of cells.

"Jail cells... the second thing I saw... look in each cell... I'll look left... you look right." I whispered.

"Okay," Cassidy whispered back. We started looking in cells while walking along.

"I don't get it. All these cells are empty." Cassidy whispered.

"Keep looking. There's someone in here. I can feel it." I whispered back. We kept looking in the cells... then I slipped on a banana peel and fell on my back.

"Ow!... What the heck did I trip on now?!" I said, upset.

"You alright, Melissa?" Cassidy asked.

"I'm fine.... banana peels?" We looked in the cell behind to the left of us... and right in front of us... was the Doctor... the Ninth one, to be exact.

"H..Hello." I stumbled, not knowing what else to say.

"I thought he'd be taller..." Cassidy whispered to me.

"Any taller, and we'd be looking up and getting a kink in our necks," I whispered back. No joke... the Ninth Doctor was six feet tall... so he pretty much towered over the two of us. Luckily, for us, he sat down, so he was about level with our eyes.

"You two must be a curious bunch for being out here so late at night." He said.

"We saw your Tardis, Doctor.... also... you dropped this." I said as I got the sonic screwdriver out from my pocket. The Doctor was actually checking his pockets to make sure.

"Sure enough. Must've had a hole in one of the pockets. In that case, thanks for finding it." The Doctor replied. I was going to hand it to him, but then he said, "The lock only works from one side. I think it's safe for you to do it on your side." Luckily, I knew how to use it. I did the same procedure as I did on the double doors beforehand. Once the cell was unlocked, Cassidy opened the door and closed it when The Doctor got out of the cell.

"By the way, I'm Melissa. This is Cassidy." I said, introducing ourselves.

"Nice to meet both of you." The Doctor replied. We were in a conversation for a while, not aware of what was going on... until something "hit" me like a train hitting a car. There was still someone else here. The open door to my left seemed like it was trying to get my attention... okay, not literally.. but I could hear a whispering-like sound calling my name... and it made me want to walk towards it.

When I was about halfway to the door, I heard the Doctor yell, "Oiy! Where do you think you're going?!"

I also heard Cassidy say, "Melissa, wait up!" They both started running toward me. When they almost got to me, my head started hurting again, worse than the first time. The pain forced me to lean against the wall and sit down with my hands holding my head.

"Not again.." I heard Cassidy sigh. "What is it this time?" The Doctor kept asking me questions, but I could hardly make them out. I thought I actually heard Cassidy shush him as well. I think she also mentioned the first time it happened... that I saw images in my head.
