The Doctor ran urgently over to the window, peered outside and quickly turned away. He jumped over to a door and tried to open it. Nothing happened. He tried the window, nothing. He gave a small smile to Amy and Rory and continued searching for a way out. Rory realized what the Doctor was doing and started searching for exits after a minute or two, Rory pushed a button and a beam of blue light, not unlike the transporter beam that were transported in appeared.

River was enjoying a typical day in her jail cell and was currently eating fine pastries from a far off planet. Just because she was in jail didn't mean she wasn't treated well. She took another small bite and stared aimlessly at the wall of her cell. Soon, screaming erupted from down the hall and River smiled, could this be her way out? She rushed over to the cell bars and drew her hidden gun from her under her cot. She spotted a faint blue light coming down the hallway and she hesitated, what if it wasn't a way out? River shrugged off the feeling and blasted open her cell door, leaping out into the hallway.

Amy stared with eyes wide at the transport ray in the middle of the room and shielded her eyes from the harsh blue light. Soon enough, the light subsided and she drew her arm down. Amy smoothed out her red hair and turned to the Doctor, only to see a woman standing beside him. She had light brown, very wavy, even curly hair. "River!" Amy exclaimed, and ran over to the woman. "Hi Amy, its nice to see you again!" River replied and turned to Rory. "It's...Rory, right?" she asked. "Yeah, hi." came the reply.

"So how do we get out?" Rory asked ten minutes later. River shrugged, she had tried to help them find a way out but it just didn't seem possible. In fact, she was starting to think that since they were all brought here, they would have to work together, and with Rory sulking, they really couldn't do much. River sat down beside the Doctor and reviewed what they had, "We've got three bottles of water from the mini-fridge and seven bags of dried...food from the freezer…" Rory tuned out,

Why does everything go wrong when I'm with the Doctor, will we ever be able to leave this place? I just want to leave and get Amy back to somewhere safe...I bet the Doctor could do it. Wait, I could do it, it doesn't always have to be him, I just gotta change my attitude a bit.

The Doctor smiled at Amy and River, Rory seemed to be off in his own little world and they couldn't really get a response out of him. "It's okay, I'm sure we'll be able to get out of here." the Doctor assured the people around him, and as soon as he finished, they all plunged into darkness.

"Doctor?"

"Here and alive!"

"River?"

"Also here!"

"Rory?" … "RORY?"

"Oh, umm...alive!"

"Good." Amy finished and cast her eyes upwards. It seemed that they had fallen through a trapdoor and into a sort of dungeon. A large black gate loomed up in front of them, casting long shadows over the group of travelers. Amy drew her arms around her and rocked back and forth, trying to stay warm. She could see her breath in front of her and gusts of cold breeze blew past her. The Doctor rubbed his hands together and jumped to his feet, ready for almost everything. Rory got up too and bounded over to the gate, examining it.

"I wouldn't touch that if I were you." Amy jumped at the voice. Rory tilted his head slightly and looked up as the trapdoor could be seen closing. The Doctor smiled, "Hello! Who are you?" he asked brightly.

"I am….the maze keeper." the voice replied, the sound echoing all around them. Rory nodded, "What do you want with us?" he asked a bit too aggressively.

"Oh, not much little human, just a simple test…" and so it began.

And...Cliffhanger. Yeah, I know...but you'll just have to wait and see! How was it? Good? Bad? Wibbly Wobbly? Whatever it was, let us know. Thanks for reading!
