'Just run' shouted the doctor

Horatio and Archie were walking to their ship the Indefatigable to set off on a mission in southern France. Horatio in his Lieutenants uniform and Archie still a midshipman but acting lieutenant. They were talking about the events that might meet them on this voyage, when suddenly BASH someone runs into them and falls to the ground in front of them.

'Sorry , I'm so sorry' as the person who bumped into them was in actual fact a woman dressed in a very peculiar way to Horatio and Archie but to anyone in the 21st century it was ordinary , black skinny jeans , long grey shirt , blue hoody attired with a belt and brown boots.

'That's okay, may I help you up' asked Horatio

'Thank you' she said placing her hand upon his and brung herself up from the ground then brushed herself off.

She turned around in the direction she was going in, but then realised who had helped her .She recognised Horatio and Archie from somewhere or people who looked a lot like them. She was just about to ask them when she saw her pursuers looking down alley ways where she had just come from.

'Bye' directed at Horatio and Archie who looked quite puzzled and startled.

'Who was that' Archie enquired

'I don't know , but who ever she was she is in a hurry' Horatio said with is eyes looking around the corner where the woman had disappeared.

The girl stopped near a store with everything in it form top to toe.

Everything was running through her head.

What was she going t do? Did the Doctor get away? And if so where is he? What are they? Why are they after her and the Doctor?

First she went into the shop to hide and brought a hat to hide her face a ribbon to tie her hair up ,a shirt of the fashion and jacket , a pair of breeches and boots of the fashion , to blend into the crowd so she wasn't as noticeable.

She went over to the counter and put the right amount of money down and the shop keeper looked stunned

'Is there any where I can get changed' she said

The shop keeper just kept staring at her and pointed to the end of the shop were there was a cubical.

She got changed and came out looking like a recognisable man of the century. She held the clothes she was wearing in a bundle and led them on the counter and put on top a pound.

'Can I leave these with you?'

'Yes' said the shop keeper with a nod. And with that she walked out the shop and mad her way cautiously to towards the TARDIS.

'Horatio, who do you think that girl was' asked Archie once they were aboard the Indefatigable.

'I don't know Archie, but who ever she was I don't think we will be seeing her again' Horatio said looking towards the port.

She was debating whether or not to go back the way she came to trick her pursuers but as she went around the corner she saw them, so she decided to get back to the TRADIS another way. She pulled her key from her jacket pocket, took a look around her and went into the TARDIS. She went over the platform and rummaged around in the Doctors things to try and find a waterproof bag of something as you never know what's going to happen. After about 10 minutes or rummaging and finding some peculiar things, she finally found what she was looking for and packed a few essential things along with spare clothes, warm clothes and other stuff she might as well pack as it seemed that the Doctor has not come back yet and it would be best to be as far away from the TARDIS as possible as she didn't know where they were, where the Doctor was or who they were.

The Indefatigable was setting sail out to patrol the seas of southern France.

'Lieutenant Hornblower take her out' commanded Captain Pellew

'Aye, Aye, Sir, Weigh up the anchor' shouted Hornblower

'Prepare to lose the main sail'. And the ship was creeping slowly out of her docking station.

The Doctors assistant ran round the corner in a panic and darted for the shop she went in earlier. The shop keeper asked if she wanted her clothes back. Well she might as well as she was here.

'Thank you' she said

She opened the door and peered around and saw a ship ready to go out of the port. She put one foot out the door when she heard 'Hey, she's over here'

She ran towards her left and was stopped in here tracks by men she turned to her right they were there as well. She was surrounded and the only way out was straight in front of her, she thought.

She ran the fastest she ever had ran before with her bag on one shoulder. She suddenly stopped as the next step she would take would be into the harbour. She spun around quickly and saw her pursuers closing in on her.

'Right then, get wet or go with them…um…'she said out loud.

She made her decision. She took off her boots and threw them towards her pursuers who were about 5 metres away from her. She chucked her bag into the sea and dived head first into the harbour as she did so her hat fell off and was bobbing in the sea. When she surfaced she saw the men that were after weren't going in after her and started to turn away.

'SIR'

'What styles' enquired Mr Kennedy

'There's someone who just jumped into the harbour sir' answered Styles

'Why would he want to do that?' said Mr Kennedy

'Should we rescue him, Sir' asked Matthews

She swam towards her bag which was next to the ship and a rope was thrown down to her.

She caught it with one hand and pulled herself near the ship until she could get to the foot holes
