Part 3

Now there's one thing I should tell you, keep an eye out on other creatures in this world."

"What do you mean?" the Doctor asked her.

"Doctor, look!" Grace pointed up at two flying creatures that are coming towards them. The two try to run but they're feet are stuck to the ground.

Just as the creatures were about attack, they stopped midair as their claws almost reach the Doctor and Grace. "Did you ever think I will let you die now?" the fortune teller told them, "Luckily, I'm keeping you alive just to make this game of mine more lively." The fortune teller made the creatures disappear and freed the Doctor and Grace from the ground. "Now here is the only rule in my game. Survive and find an exit to this place and you'll return."

"And what if we don't?" the Doctor fortune released the flying creatures and trapped the Doctor and Grace again. "Alright, we'll do it!" the Doctor shouted which made fortune teller free them and made the creatures disappear.

"That's what I thought. You better start running, or I'll release my pets again. And to make it more interesting."

The fortune teller release two new monsters with big teeth and claws right in front of them. The Doctor and Grace started to run as the creatures chase them. The two keep the throwing furniture at the creatures so it to slow them down. The constant furniture throwing made the furnitures in the house in the physical world fall down from the shelves. The Doctor and Grace stopped running and hid in a corner while the creatures are still running.

"I can't keep up with the running like this, Doctor!" Grace said.

"Well you better be used to it. In all of my travels, there's always running." Just then they heard noises from a door near the them. As the Doctor opens the door, two people storm out with candlestick ine each of their hand.

"Are you with her?!' one of them asked them.

"No, we were chased by her pets and we need a place to hide." the Doctor told them.

The two let the Doctor and Grace inside as soon as they heard the creatures coming. When they entered, they find about 15 people, including the boy Grace met, filling the room. Most of them were afraid because they are lost in the another dimension.

"How are we going to defeat this fortune teller or whatever she is." one of the people said.

"Well, if we are going to defeat her, we have to go to the central mind." the Doctor said, "But this place is like a maze, it might take weeks to find it."

"We have a map scriber who knows every inch of this house. He could lead us the way."

"Then let's go there. Grace you stay here."

"Why not?"

"You need to help the people in this room and besides, I thought you don't another trip about aliens or supernatural."

"Ugh you have a point, Doctor." Grace said as the Doctor and five people left the room.

After exploring a few rooms, the Doctor and a few people approached to the master bedroom at the end of the hallway. The Doctor opened the door with his Sonic Screwdriver and when they entered the bedroom, it is very different than the other rooms they're in. The room is filled with wires that connected to the ceiling and a weird metallic structure on the floor.

"What is that?" one of the men asked.

"That, I believe, is the central brain." the Doctor replied as he walks around it. "It seems that the more she wears the helmet, the more metallic her mind is."

"What does it mean?" another person in the group said.

"By the looks of this, it means she's already dead. She's not human anymore. Shutting it down will be impossible now and the only thing we could do is destroy it." Suddenly the place started to rumble and the group tries hold onto something. "It seems that she heard us!" the Doctor shouted, "We must destroy it now before who knows what she'll do to the world!"

Back in the campsite, Grace is feeding one of the patients when suddenly she creatures she and the Doctor encountered before are banging their way to the door. The other people heard the knockings and are starting to get scared.

"What is that?!" an old woman asked.

"It's those creatures. They have found us." Grace replied.

"Then what are we going to do?!" another woman asked.

"I'll tell you what we'll do. We fight back." Grace told the people, "If we want to survive, we have to fight those creatures back to where they belong."

Grace's words of enthusiasm made the people stand and want to fight back. They grab whatever weapons they have in the place and are ready to fight. As soon as the creatures break the door, the people charged and fight back.

Back in the bedroom, the Doctor and his group are still holding onto something as the room is still rumbling. "What are we going to do now?!" one of them shouted.

"We only have one option! If I can correctly throw something into the ceiling, it might stop her!"

One person went to his pockets and took out a knife. "Here, take it!" The person said as he threw the knife to the Doctor. "It might be small, but that knife could break into anything."

"I only have one chance." the Doctor said to himself.

The Doctor threw the knife up in the air and hit the ceiling connected to the metallic brain. As the knife falls to the ground, a large electrical surge happened to the brain. Every machinery is starting to explode as the Doctor and the other people escape the bedroom. Back in the campsite, as Grace and the other prisoners are fighting, the creatures disappear and all of them were relieved.

"No, stop! What have you! What have you done!" the fortune teller shouted to the Doctor. She then screamed since she couldn't handle the electrical surge that is happening and then died with the helmet still on her head.

When the electrical surge was over, every prisoner, including the Doctor and Grace, went back to physical world safely. The little boy Anton was found by his parents and they were happy to see him again. The man who was staying in the fortune teller's house woke up and found himself alone in the house with no sign of the Doctor or Grace.

The two walked back to the TARDIS with Grace feeling tired. "So how about one more trip?" the Doctor asked her.

"I don't want another one. That is probably the most heart pacing events I've experienced in my life. And I'm a heart surgeon for God's sake."

"Don't worry, I promise this time this won't be about aliens."

"Where are we going now?"

"Italy."

"Why there?"

"Well, since I know that you like Puccini and couldn't go to tonight's opera, I've decided to bring you to do his premiere of his opera La Boheme."

"You're kidding. That is my most favorite Puccini opera of all time."

"Consider this a short vacation." the Doctor remarked as he pulled the lever and the TARDIS dematerilaized in Romania.
