Chapter two:

"Professor who are these people?" Anita asked, watching fearfully as Bellatrix and Lucius began pacing the cabin.

"Yes Professor" Lucius hissed in contempt "do explain who we are"

Keeping her voice level River replied, "Why don't you explain Lucius, and you can tell them about the night we spent at your manor as well"

There came a maddening cry of disbelief from the left side of the cabin and everyone turned to face Bellatrix. The pupils of her eyes were dilated, giving her an even more frightening appearance as she glared at Lucius.

"You've been unfaithful to my sister with this th-this thing?" "Do you mind?" River said coolly, her annoyance evident.

Bellatrix ignored her and instead gave Lucius a searching look,

"Of-of course not" Lucius replied finally, although he looked shaken.

With a scream of frustration Bellatrix darted forwards, for a second it looked as if she were about to strangle River, but at the last second she diverted to the right and grabbed Other Dave by the throat, the stick in her hand pointed level with his forehead.

There was a stunned silence before everyone except River and Lucius burst into laughter.

"You know that's a twig right?" Proper Dave chuckled.

River took a deep shuddering breath as she began to speak, "I'm so sorry Other Dave, but that's a real weapon, it's called a wand"

The scene instantly shifted back into tension.

It was Bellatrix's turn to laugh and she did so with vicious glee.

"Special to you his he? Is this the one you love then Professor!" she cackled, indicating to Other Dave.

Before River could open her mouth to reply Bellatrix released Other Dave and instead turned on Proper Dave.

"Or is it this one?"

"No" Lucius began; seeming very eager to help "The one she loves goes by a title, The Doctor!" he sneered.

The look on River's face told him all he needed to know, Bellatrix relinquished her hold on Proper Dave.

"Shall we go pay The Doctor a visit? Oh no, the Songbird doesn't like that now does she?" Bellatrix cried mockingly.

She made her way over to Evangelista who began screaming hysterically at the sight of her. Proper Dave moved to comfort her, or perhaps only to shut her up, either way he was stopped by Lucius who pointed his own wand directly at the other man's chest.

"Nobody move!" Lucius cried, everyone froze.

And then there was a CRASH! From the doorway.

"I said nobody move!" Lucius cried in irritation.

A voice replied from the doorway, "Yes, I know, but I couldn't resist because this just happens to be a 15th century Venetian vase which contains an encrypted Binary code that leads to the tomb of the 12th Emperor of Orion 2.0"

They heard the sound of what was left of the vase in question being trampled on and all turned to the door.

River took one look at the red bowtie and tweed jacket before she screamed,

"DOCTER, RUN!"

Bellatrix's grin widened, "Doctor, we meet again"


Told you the Doctor would make an appearance :D

also, as you read on, remmeber where the vase leads, it'll all make sense later!
