The Doctor moaned loudly as the television static returned. "OH COME ON!" He yelled as he flipped through every channel.

"You won't find her."

He turned quickly knocking into the tiny table where the television set rested. He watched as it came crashing to the floor the screen shattering into a thousand pieces. "GOD NO!" He threw himself onto his knees and stared at the remains of the one thing that tied us together.

"You broke it!" The little girl shouted her eyes welling up with tears.

He stood up and glared at her with angry eyes. "If you wouldn't have scared me like that I wouldn't have broken it. Now tell me where she is!"

"He's has her."

"Who?"

"Arthur." The little girl sat in her chair her long black hair draped across her shoulders. "My dad gave me that television set. He told me to wait here until he got back."

The Doctor could see the pain in her eyes whenever she mentioned her father. "He never came back though. I know how it feels to lose someone you love."

She turned her head and stared up at the Doctor who was quite taken aback by her appearance. What he expected to see was a beautiful child, but instead was met by a broken girl covered in bruises and scars. "You have to help Arthur. He's not like us. He's…" She hesitated for a moment. "…the devil."

"Right yeah the devil go figure."

"Daddy came here because they have something that could fix Arthur, but he killed them all. Arthur doesn't want to be fixed."

"Arthur doesn't have much of a choice. I'm the Doctor and that girl in the telly is my friend."

"He won't let you have her. She belongs to him now."

"Well we'll just see about that. Now there must be a way to get to the center of this place."

"The dark tunnel."

"And where is this dark tunnel?"

The girl's head turned a complete 180 degrees which made the Doctor's stomach turn. "Good luck Doctor. You're going to need it."

He shuffled past her not wanting to stare upon the gruesome sight any longer. Immediately upon entering the tunnel he could feel a wave of hot air blow across his face and the foul odor of rotting flesh filled the air. He grabbed his coat and wrapped it over his nose before pulling out his sonic screwdriver and slowly making his way down deeper into the tunnel.

I lifted my head as silence fell. I stared up at the boy who was now sitting in his chair in front of the television almost as if he had forgotten everything that had just happened. By now I was scared for my life. I didn't know when the child would lash out again or what he had in store for me, but I knew I had to end it. I reached into my pocket expecting to find my screwdriver, but it was gone. "Where is it? What did you do with it?"

The boy raised his arm and pointed at the television set. "I put it in the TV. It's mine now."

"That's stealing! Didn't your parents ever teach you it's not nice to take things that don't belong to you?"

"My parents are dead."

"So are mine, but I still have manners you know."

I watched as he flipped through the channels stopping on a commercial for ice cream. "Are you hungry?" He reached into the television set and pulled out an ice cream cone the exact one the man on the screen had been speaking of. "It's still cold." He smiled and extended his arm out towards me.

"I'm not hungry thank you."

My words seemed to hurt him I could see it on his face. "I'm sorry I was just trying to be your friend."

"I have a friend he's called the Doctor and I want to know what you've done with him."

The mention of the Doctor seemed to infuriate him as he began to yell once again only this time his voice was deeper and more sinister. "I SENT HIM TO BE WITH MY SISTER! HE'S OURS NOW! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!" A twisted smile crossed his face his eyes turned red as blood and I could feel them piercing my soul as I screamed out in pain. "I NEED SOMEWHERE TO STAY! I NEED YOU!" The next thing I knew my body no longer belonged to me and I was sent into a deep pit of despair where I could only watch as the boy possessed me and held me prisoner inside my own flesh.

The Doctor could feel the heat rising as he glanced at the bright orange light that came from down the tunnel. "This place is on fire! IS THERE ANYONE DOWN THERE?" His need to help kicked in and he raced down the tunnel hoping to find even a few survivors, but what he found was far more diabolical. As he entered the room the heat became almost unbearable. He glanced around and took note of the millions of television sets that lined the room all of them nothing but static. There was a control panel to the right with a row of empty chairs behind it. "These are all portals. All these television sets are portals to other areas of the spaceport. The children are using them to transport people from one end to…" He then turned towards the heat glaring down at the large pit of fire that sat in the middle of the room. "Oh my God…It's a portal into hell."

"He's taken her."

The Doctor slowly turned around to look at the lonely little girl. "What do you mean?"

"He's taken her body. She's his now."

"Like hell she is! It's not just him it's you too! He would have killed you by now if you weren't in on it together! Am I right? OH YES I AM! Now you're going to listen to me. I'm going to cut off every last one of these portals and then I'm sending you both straight to hell!"

The girl roared like a beast her skin began to crack and blister. "I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"

"Want to bet?"

Just then the sound of footsteps could be heard entering the room and the Doctor smiled at the sight that stood before him. "ANN!" It only took him a few seconds to realize that it wasn't me he was talking to. I could see him and I tried to call out to him for help, but the boy wouldn't let me. "What have you done to her?"

"Her body is mine now. If you throw me into the pit she comes with me."

"No. No there has to be a way. Ann you have to fight it! You can't let him take you! Ann I know you can hear me! Let me know you're there!"

I don't know how I did it, but I managed to find my voice as I called out to him. "DOCTOR HELP ME!"

The boy told me to keep quiet as he continued to hold me captive. "STOP IT! SHE'S MINE!"

The Doctor became overwhelmed at the thought of losing me his eyes began to well up. "I can't let you take her. She's the only person I've got left in this world. I'm sorry." He walked turned to the control panel and pulled out his sonic screwdriver sealing all the portals linked to the television sets. "There's no more for you here now. You can't kidnap people and bring them here to die. All I have to say are three little words and she will be mine again." He then leaned over and whispered into the boy's ear. Those three little words were enough to make me want to fight until the very end. The boy and I struggled as I pushed as hard as I could pushing him closer to the pit of fire. I looked down at the burning flames which lead into a hole of darkness and evil. I stared the boy in the eyes and demanded my body back. I saw a flash of white light and watched as the boy struggled to keep his balance. I stared at him seething with rage and the only thing I could say was "Go to hell!" I lifted my leg and kicked him back sending him into the pit. I was free.

"NO NOT MY BROTHER!" The little girl screamed as she dove in after him sending them both straight back to where they came from.

"ANN MARIE GET AWAY FROM IT!" I felt the Doctor's arms around me as he pulled me back. "WE HAVE TO GO! IT'S GOING TO SUCK THIS ENTIRE SPACEPORT INTO IT! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE SEALED! WE HAVE TO FIND THE TARDIS!" He grabbed my hand and my hearts jumped wildly in my chest. We ran as everything around us was torn away pieces of metal came flying at us from all directions. We rounded the corner and the TARDIS was in sight. We ran as fast as we could climbing into the spaceship and quickly reeving up the engines. The TARDIS shook violently as objects continued to crash into it as it we dematerialized heading for places unknown. Suddenly it all stopped the sounds of scrapping metal, the roar of the fire, the static of the television it was completely silent. The Doctor stood there leaning over the control panel trying to catch his breath. "Clearly I am not a runner."

I smiled and ran to him throwing my arms around his shoulders and kissing his cheek. "You remembered me."

He glanced over at me and nodded. "That's why I materialized in the antique shop that day. I spent all night trying to figure out how you were even possible. Then I remembered something you said and I remembered you."

"And what was that?"

He started to laugh. "Scardy Time Lord. No one has ever called me that, but you. It was then I remember that you were my date to the Time Lord Ball all those years ago. I remember I found out you only took me to make some other guy jealous and I remember I was actually quite upset. I mean I was a catch wasn't I? I was a good looking bloke."

"You were." I sighed and pulled back leaning against the railing. "If you want to know the truth it didn't work. "

"Good that serves you right." The engines came to a stop and the Doctor stood up. "Want to go see where we are now?" He grabbed my hand pulling me out the door. "What the hell?"

I took note of our surroundings and couldn't help, but laugh to myself. "We're…on a farm. With chickens and cows! By the way you might want to get rid of those shoes I think you just stepped in a nice fresh cow patty."

"Oh great. A farm why a farm?"

I brushed my hair away from my face and tucked it behind my ears anxious for another adventure with my friend. "That's for the TARDIS to know and us to find out!"
