Chapter 1: The Planet Of Shade
"Doctor,where are we going?" Clara laughed as the Tardis spun uncontrollably around the space. The doctor looked up and smiled widely. He started to pull the lever 5 times and then suddenly the whole Tardis stopped as Clara and The Doctor flew to the back. Clara looked at The Doctor with a gleam of curiosity in her eye. "Go ahead, see where we are!" The Doctor said urging for Clara to go outside. Clara smiled and then rushed to the door. She looked behind her at The Doctor and then opened the door. She walked out to see a dull gray planet with falling leaves off of dead trees and no sign of life anywhere. "Doctor where have you taken me?" Clara asks. This wasn't the exact picture she had in her mind of the planet. She was inside a dead forest. No color except gray and dark brown of the dried leaves were painted across the landscape. Every step she took she felt as though she could hear a faint scream. The Doctor popped his head out of the door and looked around. His face seemed dimmed. He looked at Clara with a sense of despair. He walked back into the Tardis and looked at the screen. Yes, there it was, they were at the Planet Of Shade but what happened to it? He ran back outside. "Is anyone there?" He shouted. Silence followed. The Doctor bent down and felt the rotten leaves. At first he looked upset but then he started to look confused. He took the leaf and put it next to his ear. 'Does he hear the screaming too?' Clara thought to herself while seeing The Doctor examine the dead leaf. "What happened to you?" The Doctor whispered as if he was talking to the leaf. "Who did this to you?" Clara looked at The Doctor in disbelief. "Are you talking to a leaf?" Clara asked holding in a laugh. The Doctor looked up at her, his face offended. "Yes, I speak leaf." At this point Clara couldn't help but laugh. "You speak leaf?" She said laughing so hard everything in the forest must have heard. The Doctor ignored her as he continued to look at the characteristics the leaf in front of him had. The leaf was lifeless with a musty color with no signs whatsoever of life, but still The Doctor could hear the screaming coming from the leaf as if it was being tortured. Suddenly to screaming became louder and louder and then silence. Not one word from the leaf. The Doctor looked around the forest. Everything was completely quiet. Not even a small sound coming from anything. As if they were given a signal to stop every sound. Clara had noticed that The Doctor was looking strange. "Doctor, what is it?" Clara asked with concern in her voice. The Doctor looked up straight at her. "Someone else is here."
