Doctor Who Prelude

Chapter 4

Rose and the Doctor ride out of the TARDIS with great pace.

"Where did you keep this?" Rose asks.

"In the stable and his names Arthur,"

"Oh? You have a stable now?"

"Well yeah, the TARDIS has a lot more to be explored yet," they arrive at the carriage and jump off. "Good boy Arthur good boy," Rose searches the carriage itself while the Doctor investigates the bodies of the guards with his sonic screwdriver. They've had their necks cut at a precise angle. Rose jumps back out of the carriage.

"She's gone,"

"I don't blame her, looks as if she's in a spot of trouble here," he gets up and looks around. "The only thing is, which way could she of gone?"

"HELP ME!" comes a loud cry. The Doctor and Rose look at each other for a split second and jump on Arthur and rush to the noise.

The old man named the "Doctor" sits down beside the blonde woman on some hay.

"You've come about the time war," she says.

"Indeed I have," he replies, looking uneasy however.

"The war's getting worse," she says. "People are dying and you want to end the suffering?" he looks at the floor.

"I-I do," the woman gets up and goes to a chest on the other side of the room. She reveals some orange crystal.

"This is it. This is the moment that will end it all,"

Clara rushes to the Doctor hanging out of the TARDIS.

"DOCTOR!" she shrieks. People begin to notice below. Clara puts her hand out to help him in, but when she does, the TARDIS moves heavily backwards.

"G-Geronimo?" the Doctor pleads. A helicopter has grapples onto the TARDIS from it's light outside. "Great, that's all I needed," he grumbles to himself. They begin to descend.

"Huh, well at least that gets us out of that situation," Clara says as she looks down at the people.

"I think I've just had a heart attack...or two," the Doctor sobs.

The Doctor and Rose rush through the forest on Arthur.

"What do you think it is Doctor?"

"I have an idea," he tells her. "But I need to see it in the flesh," they see a woman with ginger hair in an elegant dress ahead rushing away. "Your majesty!" The Doctor shouts. She keeps running.

"Stay away! I know what you are!" Elizabeth roars.

"What are we supposed to be?" Rose asks the Doctor. He smiles.

"Well, looks as if we've got some Zygons on our hands,"

"Zygons? What are they?"

"Shape shifters, that's why she's terrified of us, we might be one for all she knows," They get to the side of her and halt Arthur. "We aren't those...things," the Doctor looks at her.

"How should I know? A man was helping me, he took me so far and turned into this horrific creature," she breathes heavily. Then they can hear a distant roar coming from somewhere in the forest.

"See, we can't be that thing if we're here. So...Elizabeth, meet Rose Tyler," Rose waves. "I'm the Doctor and we-" the Doctor suddenly hears a noise familiar to him that makes him stop. A whirring noise. It's close. It's the TARDIS noise.
