The Haunted Cabin
Summary: The Doctor and Donna end up in a snowy mountain side cabin by mistake, but its not as cozy as it seems.
...
"So where are we off to today, Doctor?" Donna asked him as the Doctor swivelled around the Tardis pulling on random switches and gears.
"We, my darling, are off too... Shanghai, 1930!"
"Really! You mean during the time when it was the happening time for the city, when all the wealthy British were there?" Donna exclaimed excitedly.
"Exactly!"
Donna jumped up and down in delight, then ran over to the doctor and jumped into his arms.
"Ommph" The Doctor grunted as he caught her in his arms, suprised.
Donna grabbed his face and kissed him on the cheek. "Love you! Love you!"
"Well, we ought to get going then," he said, pulling away from her.
Donna braced herself as the Tardis began to jerk and move, the Doctor switching switches and pulling random bottons.
"And were off!". The Doctor put his arm around Donna and let out a satisfied sigh.
Suddenly the Tardis jerked violently to the left. Donna let out a wail as she was violently thrown to the floor, landing on her back hard. It didn't help that the Doctor fell right on top of her.
Donna gasped as the wind was knocked out of her.
"Aggh, Donna, oh God, are you okay?" He said, his face close to hers. He carefully lifted himself off her.
"Mmmm," Donna moaned "I'm alright.".
The doctor picked her off the floor and brushed the dirt of her clothes.
"Well," he sighed, "let's see what happened. He walked over to the controls and pushed some buttons.
"Oh dear, ummm...we aren't exactly in Shanghai.".
"What?"
"Yeah...it looks like I slightly miscalculated...we are in... ugh...Alaska, remote...somewhere in the mountains, present time.".
A deep frown appeared on Donna's face, her skin going slightly red. "Thanks spaceman!".
The doctor tossed Donna her winter coat, boots, hat, scarf, and gloves. "Well, time to bundle up, were going to check it out!". He ran excitedly to the back to grab his winder clothes. Donna was dissapointed about missing Shanghai, but she had to admit the doctors antics put a smile on her face.
The Doctor looked over at Donna, who was all bundled up. "You look so adorable," he said, patting her on the head. Donna frowned slightly, but a smile was forming slowly on her face.
"According to my calculations, there should be a little cabin right outside this door- aggh! Blimey!"
They both let out a loud shriek as blinding, bone-chilling snow hit them both in the face.
"Well, its a little crisp I guess," the Doctor said, taking Donna's hand.
"Look, I can make out the cabin! It's there behind those trees, right where I said it would be!"
They trudged through the snow eventually making it to the front door of a quaint, cute and slightly romantic wood cabin. It wasn't very big, just a bungalo.
"Well, hope no one's home, because were going to be spending the night here, the heavy snow is blocking signals on the tardis and I can't get it moving." He knocked loudly on the front door.
No answer
"Alrighty then," he said, taking his sonic screwdriver to the door. The door popped wide open.
The Doctor ushered Donna in first, putting his hand on her back.
"Wow! Its beautiful!". Donna smiled. "This won't be so bad after all. "
The interior of the cabin was cozy and rustic. It included a tiny old-fashioned kitchinette in the back corner, a lovely living room with hardwood floors, two cozy love seats across from one another with a wood coffee table in between, and a giant fire place on the wall parrallell to the sides of the sofas.
To the left side of the fireplace was a door that led to a small bedroom. Donna followed the doctor into the bedroom and sat down on a large, queen sized bed with a soft red duvet cover and large pillows. "It's cozy! A great place to spend the night. I hope the owners don't come back tonight. "
"Yeah," The Doctor said, peering out the window, because you can't even see the Tardis anymore, the snow is too thick, its an outright blizzard out there!"
Donna gasped, staring at the white ocean they seemed to be under. She shivered slightly crossing her arms. She had taken her jacket off, but for some reason she was chilly now, even though the place had felt toasty when they arrived. It wasn't just that, she felt something else...a weird, uneasy feeling.
"You alright Donna?". He looked at her with slight concern.
"Yeah...just a little chilled suddenly."
He grabbed a blanket from the bed and wrapped it around her shoulders. She grabbed his hand as it neared her shoulder and held it against her shoulder.
The Doctor smiled and squeezed her hand. "You sure you're alright?"
She nodded. "I just feel... I don't know, off. Don't you?"
He shook his head. "But remember, I'm not exactly human so..."
"I'm sure it's okay, I'm probably just being silly, I just feel creeped out." Donna stood up and walked back in to the living room, then wandered into the kitchen.
"I'm hungry, I hope there's food here. " She opened the pantry, a sigh of relief flooding her. The pantry had a wide assort of food, and tea!
"Its tea time, I hope they don't mind, would you like some tea Doctor?".
"Yes darling, that would be perfect. I'll get the fire going. "
