Part One


A/n: Hello, and thank you for reading. If you haven't read my story New Faces, it explains how Romana and K-9 are traveling with the Tenth Doctor. You can still follow it even if you didn't read it, but I would appreciate if you read it. This is the second story I've written in the series. The series' first season ends with The End of Time. Sorry for the First Part being so short, but they always are with me. This will be a four part story.


All Billie could remember was that she had to run. Wind blistered her face as she did her best to run against the raging blizzard. She couldn't see five centimeters in front of her face.

"Zip," a large bolt of energy went flying past Billie's ear and she fell to the ground face first. They had found her. She could now hear the stomping of Vig's heavy feet over the constant howling of the wind. Finally they came to a stop and she heard a crunch as a runner hopped out of his sled and on to the snow.

"Well, well. What do we have here," the runner asked himself as he walked towards Billie. In an attempt to escape, she stood up began to sprint as fast as she could against the wind. However, the runner quickly fired his energy weapon into the back of Billie's leg.

"Where do you think you're going," the runner said, walking over to Billie and flipping her over on her back with his foot. His skin was deathly pale and his long strands of white hair made him hard to see in the blizzard.

"Well, you were fun to catch. Weren't you?" He put his energy rifle straight to her head. "Oh well, everything has to end I suppose."

Billie closed her eyes. This was the end. She thought briefly of her home back in Aberdeen. Her mother and father were probably worried sick about her. And all her friends at university would be wondering where she was. She would die in a blizzard on an alien planet.

She heard the Vigs that were carrying the runners sled let out a loud screech and gallop off.

"Oi, you," the runner yelled, "where the hell are you going?!"

An odd screeching groan echoed through the storm and Billie opened her eyes to see what was happening. She was surrounded by an orange-brown dome. Standing behind six sided console, was a blonde girl with fair skin wearing a long green velvet coat. She was holding hands with a lengthy man in a brown pinstripe suit.

"Who in the name of God are you," the runner said pointing his weapon at the couple. Both the man and woman put there hands up in the air.

"K-9," the woman said promptly. There was a red flash of light and the runner fell to the floor.

"Good boy, K-9," the Man said walking over to Billie and helping her up. "Hello," he said cheerfully, "I'm the Doctor!"
