It was pure luck that saved Sabrina, one swing more and she would have been completely lost. As fast as her reflexes let her to, she pressed the red button by her side and the bus made a sudden halt. She heard complains as she placed her Bordeaux sneakers on the sidewalk… soon the bus was gone and Sabrina left alone.
It had been years since she last walked down the streets but they seemed familiar to an extend where Sabrina would have believed that she actually lived there.

As she dotted the landscape a well-known figure appeared… it was her mother. Although she couldn´t exactly see the woman's face, the warmth and safety she radiated was more than enough conformation for her. She sped up, but not more than necessary, the last thing she needed was more attention. As people walked past her she caught herself in starring at them. Their eyes, she kept thing to herself, why do the glow? the sun? no it's cloudy today. She was ripped out of her daydream when someone bumped into her, it was the woman from before and as expected, it was her mum.
"It´s not what it looks like" she began but noticed that her mother didn´t pay any attention, she didn´t even look in her daughters direction. Sabrina tried again "hey mum?"
Still no response.
Being as well behaved as she was, Sabrina gave it another go "can´t you at least look at me while I talk to you?" her voice was not as soft as before, it was more correct to call it demanding. Still Sabrina's mother kept her silence and the demanding face of her daughter turned to concern.
For as long as three minutes Sabrina's mother just stared, looking at nothing… the strangest thing was that she didn´t blink either. Then her eyes began to glow and she moved again. This time Sabrina didn´t care about interrupting people, she ran to her mother's side and begged her to stop…
And she did.
The next moment was forever burned into Sabrina's skull… her mother, had vanished.
In the seconds that followed the calm streets was flooded with people screaming.
Sabrina was lucky enough to push herself to the side of a building but others were not as lucky. She inspected her surrounding when the first flood of people had vanished, those caught in the stampede were hurt but none of them severely injured.
Sabrina wasn´t medically trained, but basic first aid was a piece of cake. She found whatever she could to help and ran to the fallen.
"What was that?" a man helped Sabrina patch up the most hurt.
"Don´t know" she replied "but whatever it was, it was defiantly alien".
"Like Cybermen and the Darlek´s?" another said.
"Could be" Sabrina sighed.
The situation finally calmed down so much that Sabrina could leave the place and find her mother… she ran past a man with a phone and made a halt. With a simple typing she called the rest of her family.
"Hello" a male voice sounded "Marcus Noeland speaking".
"Listen!" Sabrina began "whatever plan´s you have, cancel them and stay indoors, crazy things are happening down town, alien stuff".
Marcus let out a laugh "always so funny that baby sister of mine".
"I mean it!" she frowned "besides, I´m not the youngest" … "but seriously, get Sarah and tell her to stay home I´m coming as soon as I find mum again" her voice instinctively became a nod sadder "just… take care, O.K?"
Marcus finally understood the seriousness "I promise", he then hung up.
With her family a little more safe, Sabrina continued her search.

Around Tower of London Sabrina found her mother again but there were still no way to get through to her. "Want it or not, I´m taking you home" Sabrina took her hand in her mother´s and pulled her away. Instead of the feeling of movement, Sabrina felt like she was forced to her knees. She then turned her head to see that neither her mother nor herself had moved at all. Sabrina felt dizzy but still hold her mother´s hand, refusing to let go of it. Sabrina was sure that her mother, or whatever possessed her was the source of the dizziness. Despite the headache Sabrina was persistent "why don´t you find someone worth anything?" she swallowed whatever was on its way up. "I mean this woman can´t be of any use at all" the odd sensation of being forced to her knees took over again and Sabrina began to notice pictures in her mind, did the alien communicate with her?
She tried to decipher the images… Light, darkness, snow, lava, a medical cross, blood and a box… a blue box.
At that moment she threw up and let go of her mother´s hand. "How should that make any sense?" Sabrina looked at her mother, knowing that she wasn´t there and she was talking directly to the alien "I don´t know what you want, but please just leave me alone" her voice was sad and helpless.
The alien took a hold of Sabrina´s hand and the dizziness returned. This time Sabrina saw girls, all of which she had never seen before. Then she heard a voice "The Doctor is coming; the bringer of darkness and destruction is here".
Right after the dizziness disappeared and Sabrina´s mum and the others were all gone.

The Doctor found his Sonic Screwdriver and pointed it towards the sick shoulder.
"Forget it" Sabrina gasped and punched the Sonic out of The Doctor´s hands "you´re not bleeping me with that crazy thing!"
"Then what do you want me to do?" The Doctor looked at her.
"My phone" she replied "use my phone".
"To what… call someone?"
Sabrina took her phone from her jacket pocket and placed it over the wound "hold it" she demanded.
The Doctor did as told and the blood stopped pumping as viciously as before.
"By god what kind of doctor are you?" Sabrina sighed "it´s called basic first aid"
The Doctor kept quiet "how long?" he then asked.
"Take my jacket and warp it around my arm and shoulder over the phone… make it tight".
The Doctor tightened the jacket while the silence continued.
Clara saw her moment to break in "that thing´s not gonna do any good" she looked at the arm "it may hold the blood back, but you´re still losing it" she then pointed at the Screwdriver "believe me, that thing can fix you".
Sabrina decided to believe Clara "O.K., but do it fast".
"It will hurt then" The Doctor said moving towards her.
"The hell with that" Sabrina swore "don´t want to bleed out either".
"She does have a point" Clara nodded.
The Doctor let out a sigh, removed the jacket and phone and pressed the Sonic Screwdriver down into the wound. Its green light was almost shadowed by blood but slowly it appeared again as the flesh healed.
Sabrina cramped and would have rolled into a ball if not for The Doctors firm grip on her arm. She hissed and bit her tongue in order to hold her voice back, otherwise she would have screamed in pain.
It took The Doctor around half a minute to stitch the wound together; he carefully examined it to ensure that it wouldn't spring again…
"I said that thing was dangerous" Sabrina pointed at the Screwdriver as the intense pain finally calmed down.
"Sassy one, eh?" Clara laughed, smiling at The Doctor "thought you hated sass?"
"She is not staying" The Doctor remarked "we are helping her and then leaving like nothing ever happened"
"But you said you saw your old companions in her mind" Clara hold The Doctor back "I don´t think it´s coincidence, first me who have seen all of" she paused "'you" … "and now her, the girl who have met your friends".
"Sorry to interrupt" Sabrina said "but am I useful or useless?" the whole situation was still just under her skin.
Despite Clara´s words The Doctor didn´t change his mind "we find your mother, nothing more" he looked at Sabrina. "And I don´t want to hear anything else from you, no trips, no 'thank you' gifts and under no circumstances; no companion"
"Fine" Sabrina rolled her eyes "don´t wanna spent the rest of my life with and old geezer like you anyway"
"Yup" Clara laughed "defiantly a sassy one".
Again a silence fell over them, this time with a little more tension. Clara moved a little while The Doctor again returned to his troubled facial expression.
"But who were they?" Sabrina then asked "I know that they were you 'companions', but where are they now?"
Clara´s face made it clear; this was not a topic that anyone talked about… The Doctor did make a change in his eyes but he kept his calm.
Sabrina's phone suddenly rang to the big surprise of all three of them.
"But we are in flight?" Clara looked at The Doctor.
"Yes" he nodded.
"Then how is it ringing?"
"How should I know?!" he looked at the bloody phone "we are out of range".
"What do you mean by 'out of range'?" Sabrina looked at the phone.
The Doctor sighed "we are in space… outer space".
