"Run!" Was the first thing he heard after walking out of the TARDIS.
He looked around for the person who had yelled it, but saw no one. "But we just got here!" The Doctor turned to Clara, "we never run this soon." Just as he finished talking, though, a girl dressed in a Victorian styled dress ran into sight. As she ran past the two stunned time travelers she stopped and looked into the Doctor's eyes.
"Run dammit! There is no talking to this thing. I have angered it and now I think it wants blood. There is no stopping it!" She looked back the way she had come as something not of this world screeched loudly. "That'll be him. He is very close now. Are you going to run or just stand here?" She took a few nervous steps away from them.
"Well Clara, are you up for some exercise?" The Doctor held out his hand in her direction. She grinned and put her hand in his.
"When haven't I been?" She answered.
"Good, let's go! Follow me." The girl said and started running in the opposite direction of the loud grunts and screeches of the creature.
She was fast, even in the dress. She was a few yards ahead of the Doctor and Clara. She quickly veered to the right heading in the direction of a building. As they got closer a pungent stench of animal waste got stronger.
"What is that?" Clara asked covering her nose.
"That is the stables!" The mystery girl answered, smiling. She was enjoying this as much as the two of them.
"And why are we…?"
"Oh, that is brilliant!" The Doctor interrupted Clara. "Cover up our smell so it can't track us."
"Correctomundo!" The girl said, as she slid open the door and ushered them inside.
When Clara was through, the girl closed the door quickly. She then leaned against the door looking at the Doctor and his companion.
"So Doctor what are you doing here?" The girl asked.
"Well, see that is a funny story. I was bringing Clara home, but the TARDIS had other…. Wait, how did you know who I am?" He said as he realized that she had said his name, or what everyone called him.
"I'm not sure." The girl answered, looking confused. "Maybe one of you said it?" She said a little desperately.
"I don't think so, but we can talk about that later. The question is what is a Llysnafeddceffyl doing in Victorian times? Also what did you do to make it angry? They are usually very peaceful." The Doctor turned to look accusingly at the girl.
"I didn't do anything. I stepped on a stick and woke up the creature. It jumped up and when I tried to be calm and talk to it, it charged at me. I started running then. It was insane." The girl answered.
The Doctor opened his mouth to go on a tangent about something, but Clara started talking first. "I'm Clara, and this is the Doctor, as you know. What is your name?" Clara held out her hand.
The woman took it and shook it. "My name is Cherie. It is nice to meet the two of you." Cherie looked grateful that the other woman had stopped the Doctor before he had begun.
"Why were you near the Lisnafeedsefl?"
"Llysnafeddceffyl." The Doctor corrected, as he began to pace in front of them.
"Yes, that." Clara said giving him a look.
Cherie watched the doctor pace as she explained that the servants had been talking of an alien roaming the grounds and breaking things and terrorizing the animals. They were all terrieifed of going out at night and would keep to their quarters as much as possible. Cherie had simply gone to investigate the creature that they were all scared of.
"You have servants?" Clara asked eyes wide.
"Really, Clara? This woman goes out to investigate a possibly dangerous alien on her own and all you care about is that she has servants?" The Doctor was staring at Cherie like she was a new specimen. "You humans never cease to amaze me." He said softer.
"They aren't my servants. I'm staying with a friend, they are her and her husband's servants. Why do you say humans as if you aren't one yourself?" Cherie looked at the Doctor curiously.
"Because I'm not!" He exclaimed. "shhhhh shht shhh!" He said quickly.
They all fell silent as they heard approaching footsteps. They all moved towards the door. Cherie opened it a little bit and they all peeked out at the unusual creature. It closely resembled a hairless horse, with iridescent blue and green skin. It was also covered in a thick slime that fell off of it, landing of the grass.
"That is disgusting." Clara whispered as Cherie and the Doctor murmured, "It's beautiful." simultaneously.
"Wait, what do you mean you're not human?" Cherie whispered urgently looking at the Doctor, whose head was just above her's looking through the gap in the door.
He just grinned down at her and put a finger over his lips. Then he went back to admiring the Llysnafeddceffyl.
After a few minutes of sniffing the air, the Llysnafeddceffyl turned and went back the way it had come. The Doctor pulled open and hurried over to the slime left on the grass.
"Doctor?" Cherie stormed out of the stables after him. "What did you mean?"
"He is a Time Lord. Really old, two hearts, and really frustrating."
"Oi! I'm right here!"
The Doctor was now on all fours poking the slime and smelling it. The two women just watched, one with disgust and the other with frustration.
"So he is an alien too then?" Cherie asked Clara. Then her eyes widened, "you're not an alien too, are you?"
Clara started laughing. "No of course not, I'm as human as you get." Cherie looked relieved.
The Doctor suddenly stood up and started to follow the Llysnafeddceffyl.
"Where are you going?" Cherie yelled after him.
"I need to get to the TARDIS." He said over his shoulder. The two women had no choice but to hurry after him.
