A/N: This is based on DW, which the BBC owns, but it follows the adventures of two new characters and their acquaintances. Enjoy!

The Silence approached silently, cornering a solitary figure against the inner wall of the asylum. "Where is the other one?" one rasped, pointing menacingly at the young woman who looked like she was in her late twenties standing calmly at the center. Her light brown hair was loose from its customary ponytail, cascading down the back of her navy blue coat like a fountain of silky chocolate. She stared back defiantly with a hard glint in the depths of her currently bright green eyes.

"Far from here by now," the woman spat out, discreetly looking for any sort of weapon she could use against the creatures. Unfortunately, there was nothing in this bare, poorly lit solitary confinement area. She glanced at the aliens again, taking in details that she would later forget. The Silence's agents were a strange mix between the stereotypical 'Martian' minus the mouths, balloons covered in old, dried dripping glue, and business men. The three fingers sparking with electricity that pointed at her were the least of the woman's worries. As of this moment, she was more focused on keeping any one of the creatures in her sight, for fear of forgetting the present danger.

To think that after all that had happened she would end up dying in a mental institution on Earth at such a young age. There was still so much left to do in the universe, worlds to discover, galaxies to explore, and it was all waiting for her. Her and her friend, that is. Well, at least she has a chance. As long as she's careful and tries to not die again, she should be able to live enough for both of us, the woman thought. Wishing to cherish the memories of her final few moments, she closed her eyes, promptly forgetting about the Silence looming before her. Instead, she remembered a time when life wasn't as complicated, before her name was lost to the stars, and just before she had left for the greatest adventure of her life.

A/N: This is the short prologue. Chapter 1 is in progress, we may meet the Doctor briefly at some point, and other such twists and so forth are forth coming. I'd like to thank my friends from TARDIS-POTTER for all the inspiration they provide. Review please!
