When Kira did open her eyes again, the sun was setting and the mountains were nowhere to be seen. Now they were in a valley, the grass was short, and a tree stuck up here and there. Kira had never been out of the house she grew up in, so a new place, no matter where it was, was something wonderful in it self.

Kira sat up and watched the sun sink closer to the horizon. There was flat grass in every direction, as far as the eye could see, but Kira didn't really care. Her interest was in the building that they were heading for. It looked more like a prison then anything else, but, as always, Kira couldn't tell the difference.

The long four-story building was made of concrete, with iron bars at every window, and a barbwire fence surrounding it. Inside the fence was at least a mile of thick trees that broke off to a courtyard around the main building.

The car slowed to a halt at the front gate and a guard walked the length of the car. Then they were waved in and the gate opened. They drove through and Kira watched them lock the gates behind them. The car stopped at the front doors and Naomi stepped out, opening Kira's door. Kira hesitated, then scrambled out, glancing around nervously.

The front doors opened with a creak, and a woman with long curly golden hair walked down the steps toward them. She was wearing pale brown guard uniform and had a stun gun in a holster at her hip.

"Kira," Naomi said softly, and Kira turned to face the golden haired woman.

"hello… Kira?" the woman said kindly, glancing at Naomi for approval, who nodded.

Kira looked the woman up and down suspiciously, and kept her distance. The lights on either sides of the door flicked on as the sun dipped below the horizon and Kira jumped.

The golden woman laughed, "it's just the night lights, don't worry."

Naomi smiled, "Kira, this is River Song, she's a guard here, she'll protect you."

Kira frowned, 'protect' wasn't a word Kira heard very often.

"Come on, let's get you settled in and then we can all have a good nights rest," Naomi said, gesturing for Kira to follow River, who turned and walked up the steps and into the big building. Kira followed hesitantly, peaking through the door before walking in.

A dark wide hallway stretched in front of Kira, but River walked forward calmly and flicked a switch at the end of the hall. The hallway was bathed in a soft light and Kira wasn't scared anymore. The wallpaper was a swirl of green and a yellow/brown color, making it seem as if they were in a forest. Kira walked forward slowly and River held out her hand kindly. Kira shrunk back only slightly and shook her head.

River smiled, "alright," she said, "come on, let's go see your room."

Kira nodded, a small smile lighting up her face.

River led Kira up a flight of stairs and down another similar hallway, except this one was blue, with river-like wallpaper, and to a door on the left at the end.

"Here we are," River said, pushing the door open.

Kira stared at the room beyond in wonder, the last of the sunlight shone through the window on the right and onto a white bed on the left. A chest of drawers stood next to the door also on the left and a door in the far corner offered a closet. There wasn't any wallpaper in this room, instead the walls were painted a soft rose color.

"Do you like it?" River asked, as Kira walked inside slowly.

Kira nodded and walked over to the window, watching the sun vanish for the night.

River smiled, "welcome to the Demens facility, Kira."
