My eyes slowly opened as the incessant noise from my alarm clock blared in the quiet house. It was nice living alone. No one complaining or making noise. I did my daily morning routine, but I left my bags on the table, seeing as it was a Saturday. I glanced at the shopping list and winced as I noticed Molly was out of food. As if on cue, the Australian shepherd bounced out of her bed and circled around my legs, yipping joyfully. I poured myself a bowl of cereal as I reviewed my plans for the day, which totaled up to about four things. I was startled out of my day dreams by a loud banging on the door. Molly sprang up and bounded to the door, barking noisily. I shooed her away and opened the door. Leaning heavily against my doorframe was a man. His dark brown hair was messy and fell slightly over his face. His jacket was ruffled and his bowtie hung at an awkward angle. But I recognized him immediately.
"Doctor!" I exclaimed. He suddenly collapsed, and I just barely caught him.
"Oh, hi Kate." he said to me, and then passed out. Out of nowhere I heard a cloister bell chiming, and looked up to see the TARDIS with the door cracked open. Hoping no one would see me; I drug the Doctor over to the TARDIS and pulled him in. Instantly, the door shut behind me. I was momentarily scared, but the lights came on and the room was brighter. I leaned down to see if he had any injuries, and that's when I saw it.
"Doctor," I whispered, "what happened to you?"
On the side of his face there was some sort of metal device with flashing lights, but upon further examination, I noticed the device seemed to be connected to his skin. Suddenly the TARDIS lurched, throwing me sideways. The TARDIS jerked again and my head banged against the rail, making my vision blurry. I heard the familiar whooshing sound as the floor rocked back and forth. Suddenly the cloister bell sounded one mournful note and everything stopped moving. The door behind me slowly creaked open. I saw some people turn to look at me, and then I blacked out.
