Chapter 2

Not Earth

It was dark. The TARDIS was completely silent, having to shut down for an unknown reason. The emergency lights slowly turned on and filled the console room with a warm red glow. The Doctor stood up, uninjured. He quickly pulled the console moniter to look at it but realised it wasn't working. He cursed under his breath, and his eyes grew wide.

"Clara?!" he yelled, running around the room. He spotted her, laying on the grated floor unconscious. Her forehead was bleeding, the gash was swollen. He hurried over to her and knelt down and layed her head in his lap. "Clara? Come on, wake up..." he trailed off, his voice shaking with fear. She started moving her head and her eyes fluttered open. "Doctor..?" she whispered, tears running down her face, the gash burning her head. The Doctor cupped her cheek with his hand and wiped the tears. Clara sat up and put a hand to her head and grimaced. They both stood up and looked around at the dim console room. "What happend?" Clara asked looking at the lifeless time rotor. "She shut herself down," he answered, "and we landed." She walked slowly torwards the doors while the Doctor tried to get the TARDIS to power on. Clara opened the doors and her eyes grew wide.

"Doctor, come look at this..." her voice filled with astonishment. He walked over to stand behind her and looked out of the doors. The TARDIS landed in a forest. The trees were covered with leaves that were colored like a suset. Oranges, reds and purples, giving the leaves a painted watercolor effect. It's nothing that Clara has ever seen before. "This isn't Earth." the Doctor told her. "Then where are we?" Clara asked. "I haven't got a clue, let's look around."

The two of them stepped out of the TARDIS and onto the unfarmiliar ground. They walked in opposite directions, still in each others' sight. The forest was deep, the trees blocking and covering every inch of space in front of them. Thick ghostly fog started to roll in, making their sight even worse.

Avoiding tripping over thick solid roots sprouting from the ground, Clara walked through, admiring the beauty of the everlasting woodland. She noticed there weren't any sign of any creatures living in the forest, which concerned her. It was dead silent except for the leaves rustling in the trees from a gentle breeze.

Then she heard it.

A low, grimm howl coming from behind her.

Clara stood dead in her tracks, waiting to hear it again. She then heard loud snapping and felt leaves hovering down from above in all dirrections. Now hearing uneven footsteps, she turned around very slowly and let out a fearful scream.

The Doctor heard it. He was examining the ground and scanning the trees with his sonic screwdriver as he heard the faint shriek. 'That scream...' his thoughts were jumbled and disrupted with worry.

He ran.

"Clara!" he yelled at the top of his sprinted through the thick trees and avoided getting hit in the head by hanging branches. He made it to a clearing in the dense forest and slid to a stop. There stood Clara, cornered, by creatures he had never seen before in his many lives, and that scared him to death because he didn't have a clue what to do to save his impossible girl.

Cliffhanger! :3
