Cat and Mouse, Really - Chapter 2

A/N – I'm really sorry I've taken so long to write this, I've been busy catching up on sleep before I start year 10 tomorrow, so yeah. I don't think I'll update often, but I will try to be as fast as possible. I'm trying to juggle school, homework and two jobs, so it will be as often as I have time.

A/N #2 – A great big shout out to MargaretMacDonald123 for your support and to my great friend Tairulz for Beta-ing the first chapter 4 me

When she woke up, everything was blurry, and her head hurt like hell. The girl was on a cold metal floor, through which she could feel vibrations. Engines, she thought to herself. She was still a little groggy and it took a minute to sink in where she was.

Shit, they've caught me! she screamed in her head before she realized that she hadn't been alone. She looked around, which was quite difficult whilst trying to act asleep. She also had blood dripping down her forehead getting quite close to her eyes.

There! she thought as she saw the blob of red across the walkway from her. Amy was surrounded by Daleks, much like herself. They were in the parliament of the Daleks, right near the prime minister itself. She wasn't sure whether to call it a him or her, so she settled for it.

"YOU ARE AWAKE, CHILD. DO NOT TRY TO FOOL THE DALEKS" the minster said (are they saying anything if they speak in monotone? Or are they stating it, the girl pondered for a moment). As she stood up, she gripped a small vial in her palm.

She wasn't sure how this one would work, it was only a prototype and she had never tested it before. She glanced over at Amy, feeling relieved that she was awake. She didn't want to have to drag her out of here when hell broke loose. She tried to tell her to be ready to go in that glance, and she knew it worked when Amy gave her the smallest nod.

The girl turned back to the minister to address him face to… well, whatever he had. "Ah, so you've finally caught me. What are you going to do with me now? Torture me? Experiment with me? Or are you just going to kill me?" the girl drawled as she wandered ever closer to the minister. "DO NOT COME CLOSER OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO EXTERMINATE YOU!" the minister retorted. The girl saw her opportunity.

"What, so you mean don't do this?" she spat out as she stepped closer, then ducked to avoid the gunfire aimed at her back. As the shots fired over her, one hit her mark. CRASH! The glass case around the minister had exploded. She took her window and threw the delicate glass vial into the minister.

This mix did more than she could have hoped for. Going by the pandemonium around her and the lack of weapons fire, she had (at a guess) disabled their weapons and self-destruct AND knocked out the hive mind all in one almighty swoop! The girl sprinted over to Amy and put Amy's hand on her Vortex Manipulator that, until then, had been disguised by a tremendously strong perception filter.

All she could feel was that all too familiar feeling of being sucked through a hole just a little too small. It took her a few moments to realize where she had brought Amy. "Close your eyes! NOW!" the girl demanded, hoping Amy hadn't seen much. "Why?" Amy asked, a little nervous. "I shouldn't have brought you here. Where and when do you live?" the girl asked, the worry showing in her voice. "Corner of West road and Road 10, New York, and 12th of January 1940" Amy replied, strangely casually. Why did I bring her HERE? Of all places, my Workshop! Now she'll be in even more danger. All I can do is get her back as quick as possible, thought the girl as she typed the co-ordinates into the VM.

After a few brief moments and that weird sensation from travelling the time vortex, she spoke. "Here we are." The girl said to Amy, staring in awe at the dark brown cobblestone building with a sloping white-tiled roof. Amy must've opened her eyes because she then said, "It's not much, but it's home." Amy then walked up to the door and greeted a strange man whose eyes said he was older than he looked. Rory popped into her head.

"Come in, Come in" Amy called out to the girl "The least I can do is offer you a cup of coffee!" The girl walked cautiously up to the door and stood awkwardly on the doormat. "I'm Rory, by the way, Amy's husband" the man said to her whilst offering his hand to shake, continuing with "and what's your name?" Amy, thankfully, intervened by telling her husband that "She'd prefer not to say." Rory was a little confused, but recovered quickly with "What can we call you, then?"

The girl thought quickly and came up with "Star. That's what my dad used to call me when I was a kid." Amy, ever the gracious hostess, invited her in and got Star settled in on the sofa. "What would you like, Tea or Coffee?" Rory inquired. "I don't mean to be a pain, but would it be possible to have hot chocolate? I don't mind if you use hot water in it though." Star asked. "Of course that's ok. I'll go and make drinks now." Rory told her before he disappeared off to where Star assumed the kitchen was.

Amy sat across from her and they just stayed there in silence for a while, before Amy asked "So, where was it that we were that I was not allowed to see? And also, why?"

A/N – I would love to read any reviews you want to send me whether they're one-liners or a whole page! Can you guess who the girl is yet? (I hope not)! Once again, if I've made any mistakes at all or anything is even a little confusing, I'll happily clarify or fix things. I'm open to any suggestions on places the girl can go, and I'll also do a shout out to anyone who is really supportive/helpful!
