A/N: I don't own Doctor Who.
"Right!" the Doctor said as the TARDIS jerked to a halt, the sound of materialization fading. Taking Amy's hand, he led her down the stairs to the door, pausing briefly. "Now, we are on the planet Versuia, which has beaches of amethyst and oceans of liquid diamonds, so no stealing." Seeing her roll her eyes, the Doctor flung the door open, breathing in the clean air. Before Amy could brush past him, he caught her arm, gaze hardening. "Oh, one more thing. If you see a dotted black beetle, stay away from it. A single bite had enough venom to make you go insane."
Lovely, Amy thought, shuddering inwardly. Following the Doctor through the dense forest, stopping dead in her tracks at the view. "Whoa, wish I had a camera with me. Can you even swim in a sea of melted diamonds?" Receiving no answer, she turned in time to have the Doctor slam into her, his weight carrying them into the lapping waves. "Hey, you could've given me some advanced warning, you damn Time Lord!" Flinging her arm out, she threw liquid diamonds in his face.
"You want to play, Amy Pond?" the Doctor growled, dunking her beneath the surface for a few second before releasing her, grinning innocently. Dodging her lunge, he climbed onto the beach, leaning on his elbows. "All right, that's enough, unless you want to become frozen in there when the sun goes down." Grumbling, she joined him, collapsing beside him as the sky darkened slightly. Noticing Amy was stifling a yawn, the Doctor stood, helping her upright. "Let's get going-" Hissing suddenly, he looked at his wrist, blanching visibly. Quickly flicking the beetle off him, he waved aside her questions. "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Choosing to remain silent, Amy shadowed him on their way to the TARDIS, hoping nothing bad would happen.

"Doctor, are you ok in there?" Amy called outside his room three days later, hearing muffled groans inside. Finding the door unlocked, she cautiously stepped inside, wondering why everything was dark. Squinting to see, she discerned a huddled mass in the corner. "Uh, how come you're on the floor?"
"K-keep away from m-me," the Doctor grated, groaning loudly. Hearing Amy walk closer, he snarled angrily, bolting to his feet. "Get. Out. Please. I'm n-not safe to be a-around."
Rapidly making a decision, she clicked on the lights, gasping at the sight that greeted her. "My God, Doctor! What's going on?" Sweat was flowing down his pale face and twisting veins snaked up his arm, disappearing near the base of his neck. Jumping as the Doctor manually shut the door, Amy felt her heart accelerate, swallowing thickly. "W-what are you doing?"
"Apparently you don't know the meaning of 'get out', Pond," he rasped, stalking toward her. Trapping Amy against the wall, he proceeded to run his hands along her throat, feeling her pulse. Unexpectedly yelling, the Doctor stumbled from her, fists clenched. "You need to run, Amy, before I lose control entirely."
Not keen on staying, Amy hastily unlocked the door just as she was tackled, banging into the opposite wall, dazed. Shaking her head, she regained her balance, dashing for the TARDIS' control room. Listening to the Doctor running after her, she hopped to the console, voice breaking. "Br-bring me back to E-Earth and co-contact River Song! Hurry!"
"I'm afraid you aren't going anywhere, Amy Pond!" the Doctor roared, knocking her under the flight controls as the time machine started to jostle wildly. Grabbing Amy's leg, he pulled her slowly backwards, eyes blazing.
"Oi, get your bloody hands off me!" she screamed, kicking him hard in the head which only aggravated him more. Yanking her foot free, Amy sprinted in the direction of the doors, leaping out onto the almost-empty street. Dimly aware that a couple people were staring, she whirled when the Doctor shouted behind her, sonic screwdriver in hand. Before she could run, he snapped his wrist forward and the object collided with her temple, hard. Pain flooding her mind, Amy stumbled, touching the wetness on the side of her head, horrified to find that it was blood. "D-Doctor, stop, please!"
"AMY! HOLD ON, I'M COMING!"
Eyes narrowing at the sound of River's voice, the Doctor seized Amy around the waist and forcibly carried her to the TARDIS, securing the doors. Manipulating the controls, he held on while the time machine began its dematerialization cycle, laughing evilly. "No one's going to locate you, Pond, not where I'm taking you. You're all mine."
