So here is the next part. I want to thank Hafizah for reviewing and everyone who has viewed it but come on people. 344 views and only 2 reviews? what an injustice.

The Time of Angels

Amber followed the Doctor as he walked around looking at all the artefacts in their cases. She was bored beyond belief as she looked at all the things around them as very few caught her eye. The Doctor had promised to take her to a planet after they – or rather he had defeated the Daleks once again.

It was a close call that included the Doctor having to go off and defeat the Daleks on their own spaceship as they tried to light up London enough so that the Germans would be able to see them but in the end the Doctor had managed to turn all the lights back off saving the day once again and leaving Amber amazed at him.

He had told her though, once they got back to the TARDIS all about the Daleks and that he hadn't been able to destroy them for good this time either but she had smiled and told him that he had stopped then that time. But now here they were, looking through a museum as old as dust and the Doctor was keeping score.

"Yeh that's great but can we go to a planet now?" She tried to not sound like a whiny child as much as possible but she was so bored. The Doctor suddenly stopped at a black cube.

"Oh look at this beauty." He said happily.

"What is it?" She asked humouring him a little. Maybe if he looks at everything enough then we can go quicker. She thought.

"It's a home box." He told her. She was about to ask what that was when he told her. "It's like a black box but it homes. If the ship crashed then the home box flies back home and manage to save all the data ready to upload into another ship if needed."

"So?"

"The writing, the graffiti Alti-Galiffrayan, lost language of the Timelords." Amber perked up a little at that. "They were days, there were many days these words could burn stars and raise up empires and topple gods." As he spoke, Amber became more and more interested in the current topic.

"So what does this one say?" She asked curiously. The Doctor seemed to pause and them he mumbled something just loud enough hear."'Hello sweetie'" Amber just about managed to keep in her laugh. Well that was before she began wondering what he was doing. The Doctor had taken out his Sonic Screwdriver from his pocket, aimed it at the glass and smashed it.

"What are you doing?" She screamed at him as an alarm began blaring throughout the museum.

"No time, I'll tell you in the TARDIS now run!" And with that they were running as the security guards chased after them. Pretty soon Amber could see the TARDIS and she ran even faster, it seemed that they had just managed to get into the TARDIS before the guards started banging on the walls and then they were Doctor plugged the home box into the TARDIS and flicked a few switches trying to get the screen to start working and Amber watched him as he did.

"Why are we doing this?" She asked him.

"Because someone on a spaceship 12,000 years ago is trying to attract my attention. Let's see if we can get the security camera's working." He told her still fiddling with the Amber's surprise she saw the screen flicker and on it was a woman in – as far as Amber could tell – a black dress. They watched as she looked around and winked into the screen. The Doctor took one of the wires out and the image changed to the woman standing with her back towards them.

"The party's over Dr Song, yet still you're on board." The woman turned and Amber saw that she was an older woman, but still very woman – Dr Song – Amber corrected herself had a smug smile on her face as she answered back to the man.

"Sorry Alistair, I needed to see what was in your vault. Do you all know what's down there, any of you? Because I'll tell you something: this ship won't reach its destination."Her tone was still smug as she looked at 'Alistair', like she didn't care if he was about to shoot her.

"Wait till she runs. Don't make it look like an execution." Even without seeing the man's face Amber could tell that he was frustrated at her answer. Amber guessed it was because she was basically reprimanding him in a smug way. Dr Song herself had started saying a sting of words and numbers and the Doctor sprang into action.

"What was that? What did she say?" The Doctor carried on working, typing things and pulling levers.

"They're co-ordinates." He dinged the big golden bell - Amber had yet to figure out what it did and then she felt the TARDIS whir and shake, indicating that they were off to wherever the coordinates would take them. Amber watched the screen as the TARDIS flew wherever it was meant to.

"Like I said on the dance floor: 'you'd better find something to hold on to.'" A beeping sounded but Amber couldn't see where it was coming from. Dr Song blew a kiss at the men and held open her arms as the door opened, pulling her out into space and then Amber couldn't see anything but the Doctor ran to the door opened it, waiting for her. Amber had just managed to run over to him when a woman fell right on top of him.

"River?" Dr Song jumped up and ran to the door.

"Follow that ship!" She commandeed. The Doctor jumped up and ran over to the control panels pressing buttons, pulling lever, generally what he would do to fly the thing but it was a very bumpy journey. Dr Song came over to the panels and put her red heels onto the screen handle before looking at it."They've gone into warp drive. Were loosing them, keep up!"

"I'm trying." Amber could here the frustration in the Doctor's tone and she giggled quietly in the corner as they fought. They obviously knew each other to be fighting like this but then again…the Doctor didn't like back-seat drivers and that was certainly what River Song was doing.

"Use the stabilisers." She told him, they were all shouting because of how loud the TARDIS was being.

"We don't have stabilisers." He shouted right back.

"The blue switches."

"Well the blue ones don't do anything they're just…blue."

"Yes they're blue," she said leaning over him to press the buttons. "They're blue stabilisers." Immediately the TARDIS stopped shaking and Amber frowned. Why does she know how to do that?

"Yeh well…that's just boring now isn't it? They're boringers, that's what they are. Blue boringers."Amber walked over to the Doctor and whispered in his ear.

"Doctor why can she fly the TARDIS?"

"You call that flying the TARDIS? HAH!" He walked over moodily to stand in the corner and Amber smiled at him.

"Okay…" Amber had no idea what she was talking about as she said the words she did but what she did pick up on shocked her: Dr Song had landed the TARDIS and she had done it without the whole whirring noise too."

'Parked us'?" The Doctor asked. "We haven't landed."

"Of course we've landed. I just landed her." There was a playful smugness in her voice as she told the Doctor that but it seemed to Amber that the Doctor didn't like it. Well not so much that but probably the fact that River just managed to make a fool out of him. She thought to herself.

"But…it didn't make the noise." The Doctor said quietly. Amber looked at him noticing the slight surprise on his face.

"What noise?" River asked smilingly.

"The-" the Doctor tried to make the TARDIS whirring noise and in Amber's opinion, he failed leaned in closer.

"It's not supposed to make that noise. You leave the brakes on." Amber's eyes widened in shock and she smiled a big grin.

"Hah! I told you that's what it sounded like and I was right. You leave the brakes on!" Amber laughed. She saw River smile at her as she laughed but the look on the Doctor's face was just too funny.

"Yes, well it's a brilliant noise, I love that noise. Come along Swann." Then he noticed her practically on the floor still laughing and sighed. "Well, when you're done laughing at me that is."Amber stopped laughing for a moment but she couldn't stop the giggles that left her mouth.

The Doctor was making his way towards the door by then but River stopped him. "No wait environment checks." She told him looking at the screen.

"Ahh yes environment checks." Amber watched as he carried on making his way towards the door and opened it.

"Nice out," he said. Amber smiled at him.

"Were somewhere in the Ghan Belt Atmosphere. Early indication would suggest-"

"Were on Alphalfa Matraxsis, the 7th planet of the Dundra System. Oxygen rich atmosphere, toxics in the air, 11 hour day and-" he stuck his head out the door and came back. "Chances of rain later."

"He thinks he's so hot when he does that." River said looking at her. Amber couldn't help the small smile as she looked between the two. But there was a question still badgering in her mind.

"Why is it that you can fly the TARDIS?" She asked.

"Oh I had lessons from the very best." She told her. Amber heard a smug 'well' in the background before River stopped the probably very happy smile the Doctor had on his face. "It's a shame you were busy that day. Right then, why did they land here?"

"They didn't land here." The Doctor said. The smugness hightened in his voice as he smiled slyly at her.

"What?"

"You should have checked the home box. They didn't land, they crashed." He said jumping up and following Amber as River went outside but before Amber could follow her the Doctor closed the door.

"Alright Doc, time to explain. Who was that and how did she do the thing with the museum?" Amber asked as the Doctor flickered with the controls on the TARDIS.

"It's a long story and I don't know most of it." Amber rolled her eyes. "Off we go then."

"Wait, what are you doing?" She asked him.

"Leaving. She's gone where she wants to go so let's go where we want to go." He really was planning on leaving but Amber wanted to know more so she poked.

"Are you running away?" She asked almost teasingly.

"Yep."

"Why?" Her tone was a little sharper now.

"Because she's the future, my future."

"And you can run away from that?"

"I can run away from anything I like. Time is not the boss of me." A small flashback flew into the Doctor's mind but he pushed it away not wanting to deal with it right at this moment. As much as he loved Winter, she was stubborn and relentless and right now she was doing what she was well known for. And the Doctor was crumbling.

"Come on, you promised me a planet and there is a planet right on your doorstep. Just 5 minuets?" He still wasn't budging so she tried one more time. "Please?"The Doctor broke and really it didn't take very long. I really have to work on that one.

"Okay, 5 minutes." He watched as she ran out the TARDIS gleefully. "But that's all because I'm telling you now that woman is not dragging me into anything!"Amber looked around at the burning space ship as the Doctor and River babbled on about something or another.

"Aren't you going to introduce us Doctor?" Amber asked as he walked back to her. She thought she heard him sigh but ignored it.

"No," he sulked. She rolled her eyes and walked up to River.

"Hi, I'm Amber Swann, the most current companion to the 909 year old Timelord that is currently acting like a 5 year old." River smiled at the jab to the Doctor.

"River Song. Though I must say, you must be in the early stages if you're still calling yourself Amber."

Amber frowned nervously at what she had...implied."What do you mean early stages?" She asked but River only smiled.

"Spoilers." With that she carried on doing whatever it was she was doing leaving Amber to look around once more. The ship they had been supposedly following was crashed on top of a very large and very old stone structure. It is burning in areas and bits of debris had fallen to the ground around the TARDIS making it look even more out of place than it already Doctor, River and Amber stood there, looking up at it, Amber not paying as much attention to the ship as the other two.

She was brought back to the matter at hand when she heard River asking a question. "What caused it to crash? Not me."

"Nah, the airlock would've sealed seconds after you blew it. According to the Home Box, the warp engines had a phase-shift. No survivors." Amber looked between the two as they had a conversation which was mostly filled with words she had never heard of in her , she got bored and rolled her eyes at the two.

"Dear god, you two are worse than an old married couple with all the constant arguing." As she said that a pang of something odd fluttered in her chest and she frowned momentarily.

"Oh no sweetie no, that's your job."

"What?" Amber gasped. She frowned once again at the sly and knowing smile that was playing on River's lips. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" But River said nothing, only walked off. "Ohh, is she always this…"

"Annoying? Yes she is." The Doctor told her with a smile. Amber smiled back at him but then she felt something cold. It was like…someone was walking over her grave, as if there was something evil and cold walking straight threw her and she shivered. The Doctor saw this and frowned."Are you okay Winter?"

"Uhh, yeh sorry it was just a bit of a chill." He was still frowning but he nodded anyway. Winter, getting a chill was generally unheard of.

She never got sick, never had colds and never got 'chills' which meant that there was something he had first met Winter, she had a peculiar knack of knowing when there was danger up ahead and he had never figured out why – or at least, the TARDIS never let him figure it her chill was worrying him now and the Doctor swore he would do whatever it took to keep her safe but right now… "I'm nobody's taxi service!" He said to River. "I'm not gonna be there to catch you every time you feel like jumping out of a space ship."

"And you are so wrong. There's one survivor. There's a thing in the belly of that ship that can't ever die. Now he's listening!" She said smiling into the communicator she was holding. "You lot in orbit yet? Yeah, I saw it land. I'm at the crash site. Try and home in on my signal." Then she held up the communicator and called to the Doctor, "Doctor, can you sonic me? I need to boost the signal so we can use it as a beacon."

Begrudgingly, the Doctor takes his sonic out of his jacket pocket and points it at River. It immediately made the whizzing noise for a moment before the Doctor pulled it smiled but she still felt the small shiver fall over her as she looked at the ship again.

River had said that there was something in there that could never die and as far as she knew, whenever someone said that, it meant that someone was going to die. Come now Amber, be positive, she heard her aunt's voice in her head and she smiled slightly.

After River was done with her call she pulled out a small little blue book. It actually looked like the door to the TARDIS to Amber and she looked at it oddly. "What's that?" She asked the Doctor.

"A little blue book. Stay away from it." He told her not even having to look to know what she was talking about.

"I can see that, but why?"

"It's her diary." He told Amber but that obviously didn't appease her and what River said after that didn't help matters. "Her past, my...future. Time travel. We keep meeting in the wrong order so she uses it to keep track."

As he said that four columns of swirling "dust" appeared, quite far off from them and then turn into four soldiers in desert camouflage uniforms. They reminded Amber of the army back on earth. One of the soldiers approached River and looked at her with annoyance.

"You promised me an army, Doctor Song."

"No, I promised you the equivalent of an army. Unfortunately, they're very early on so it may take a little longer than I anticipated." There she goes again with the not-making-sense-thing. One of these days I'm going to find out what she means. Amber army guy shook the Doctor's hand, and as he did this, he introduced himself.

"Father Octavian, sir. Bishop, second class. 20 Clerics at my command. The troops are already in the drop ship and landing shortly. Doctor Song was helping us with a covert investigation. Has Doctor Song explained what we're dealing with?"

"Doctor, what do you know of the Weeping Angels?" At the look of panic that momentarily crossed the Doctor's face, Amber felt her stomach sink. She had known the Doctor long enough now to know that when he showed his panic, it was not going to be good.

By the time everyone was almost ready to go, the suns had gone down and they were in some sort of Doctor and Father Octavian were talking and mostly, Amber was just standing there, not really bothering to try and understand what it was they were talking about.

"The Angel, as far as we know, is still trapped in the ship. Our mission is to get inside and neutralise it. We can't get through up top; we'd be too close to the drives. According to this, behind the cliff face, there's a network of catacombs leading right up to the temple. We can blow through the base of the cliffs, get into the entrance chamber, and then make our way up."

"Oh, good." Amber rolled her eyes at the underlying sarcastic tone the Doctor had. But the cleric obviously hadn't caught on to it.

"Good sir?"

"Catacombs, probably dark ones. Dark catacombs, great!" Amber snorted at that one, but it seemed only the Doctor noticed. He looked at her and gave her a big grin which she returned back.

"Technically, I think it's called a maze of the dead." Father Octavian told him. Amber grinned again at the Doctor's expression

."You can stop any time now." He told him. Amber laughed as another cleric came up to Octavian and he went with the walked up to the Doctor, smirking slightly.

"That's thee times you've let him call you sir now." He gave her a look but she carried on. "So, whatever a Weeping Angel is, it's really bad, right?"

"Now that's interesting..." He told her. "You're still here. Which part of "wait in the TARDIS till I tell you it's safe" was so confusing?"

"The part where you told me to wait in the TARDIS." She saw the Doctor roll his eyes at her and she faced him. "What's wrong with you today? You're really grumpy."

"A Weeping Angel, Winter, is the deadliest, most powerful, most malevolent life form evolution has ever produced, and one is trapped inside that wreckage and I'm supposed to climb in with a screwdriver and a torch – and assuming I survive the radiation, and the whole ship doesn't blow up in my face – do something clever which I haven't actually thought of yet. That's my day, that's what I'm up to. Any questions?"

"Two. Firstly, what do you mean you have to climb into a wreckage? You have the Clerics, River and me – even though I won't be much help, and secondly, is River Song you're wife in the future or something? Because she's got a very 'heel boy' type of attitude going on."

"Yes. You're right. I am definitely Mr Grumpy Face today." Amber rolled her eyes at him again but this time it was because he was doing that thing again. When he didn't actually know something he'd tell you you're right and for a companion, that was the best. It meant that you were able to understand the Doctor a little more which meant you were getting closer to him.

Then, the Doctor was called over to River and Amber smiled. "You're wife is calling Doctor." As she said the words, an odd wave of something rolled over her but Amber had no clue what it was. If she was being completely honest she would say that it was incredibly annoying and as she watched him walk to her she felt the odd feeling smother Amber walked over to where they were standing and talking with Father Octavian.

"Why is he called Father?" She whispered to the Doctor.

"He's their Bishop, they're his Clerics. It's the 51st Century, the Church has moved on."

"So it's church and guns? Isn't that sort of counter productive?" She asked contemplating what she had learned when her aunt had made her go to Sunday school.

"It is a bit." The Doctor told her smiling fondly. They walked into the little van that was parked in front of them. Inside there was a giant screen with a picture of an Angel with its hands covering its face but why it was important was lost on Amber.

"What do you think?" River asked, "It's from the security cameras in the Byzantium vault. I ripped it when I was on board. Sorry about the quality. Its four seconds. I've put it on loop."

"Yeah, it's an Angel. Hands covering its face." Great, were all stating the obvious now.

"You've encountered the Angels before?" Father Octavian asked.

"Once, one Earth but they were only scavengers then, barely surviving." The way they were talking about the Angel made Amber nervous. It didn't make sense.

"But what's so important about an angel? It's just that…an angel isn't it?" But as Amber said that she was hit with a sudden odd feeling; the one you get when you know someone who shouldn't be is watching you and on reflex Amber turned her head over her shoulder trying to find the source of it.

"It's a statue when you see it." River told her. Something flashed into her mind as she remembered a course she had taken in University.

"So what, like once you looks at it the angel ceases to exist? Like a quantum lock?" Everybody looked at her oddly. "What?" She asked frowning slightly.

"How do you know about quantum locks?" The Doctor asked her."I learnt about it in school?" It ended off in a question. "But it probably hasn't got anything to do with this so-"

"No, no it does that's the point. In the sight of any living creature, the Angels literally cease to exist. They're just stone, and you can't kill stone." The Doctor was still looking at Amber with a look she couldn't identify. It was odd but not unwanted.

"River was right." Amber whispered. "We're dealing with something that can't die."

"By now the hyperdrive would've split on impact. The whole ship will be flooded with radiation, cracked electrons, gravity storms, deadly to almost any living thing." The Doctor explained to everyone.

"Deadly to an Angel?" Father Octavian asked. Amber snorted quietly to herself. Not with our luck it isn't.

"Dinner to an Angel." Yep, thought so. "The longer we leave it, the stronger it will grow. Who built that temple? Are they still around?"

"The Aplans. They're an indigenous life-form that died out 400 years ago." River told them reading off the handheld in her palm."200 years later, the planet was terraformed. Currently there are six billion human colonists." Octavian continued off from where River didn't know.

"You lot, you're everywhere! Like rabbits! I'll never get done saving you." The Doctor told them jumping onto a big rock.

"Oi!" Amber called climbing up on the rock to hit him on the arm. "Not our fault."

"Sir, if there is a clear and present danger to the local population..." The Doctor looked at him and Amber held in a giggle at his face. Then she remembered the situation and realised that they probably were in trouble."Oh, there is. Bad as it gets. Bishop, lock and load!"

"Verger, how we doing with those explosives?" He didn't wait for an answer before turning to River. "Dr Song, with me."

"Two minutes. Sweetie, I need you." Amber frowned as she heard what River had called the Doctor. 'Sweetie,' she mouthed at the same time as the Doctor but they were for two very different reasons.

Amber mouthed it with annoyance and with – unknown to her – jealousy while the Doctor mouthed it with only annoyance. He had already met Winter, he had already fallen for her and as he thought back to how it was before, he finally understood how she must have he realised that River was actually talking to him he walked over to her leaving Winter by herself but as he looked over at her he saw her close her eyes sadly and he found his hearts breaking for her.

"Does anyone need me? Anyone, anything…no? Okay then." She crossed her arms and looked around looking for something to do. Her eyes landed on the van and she smiled to herself; if she couldn't help then she would just slowly moved forward, entranced and worried by the Angel on the screen; since the last time she had seen it, it had moved.

The Angel's hands were now near its face but not covering its bubbled in her stomach but she forced herself to calm down. "Its fine," she whispered to herself. "There's probably another image." She blocked out the memory of River telling them there were only 4 seconds of moved to the door and stuck her head out of the van looking for the Doctor and River.

When she saw them she forced herself to ask the question. "Uhh River," she shouted. "Did you only have the one clip of the Angel?"

"Yes, just the 4 seconds." Dread filled Amber but then there was also curiosity. The saying 'curiosity killed the cat' had always applied to her and gleefully she had always answered with 'but the answer brought it back.'

She moved back to the screen and picked up the remote pointing it at the screen and turned it off. For a moment the picture went black and she smiled in relief but it quickly dropped when the screen flickered back to life."You're just a recording. You can't move."

She had understood when the Doctor had said the Angel was quantum locked but this wasn't the actual Angel, just a a slightly shaky hand Amber raised the remote and pressed the button and just like before it switched off and on again. In both fear and surprise she dropped the remote.

Her eyes fell to where the remote had dropped and then flickered back to the Angel had moved closer."Doctor!" She called. Amber wasn't sure that he would be able to hear her though and she licked her lips. She tried the door again but it wasn't opening at all. She looked back at the screen to see the Angel with its mouth open, teeth bared.

With a flash of fear, Amber realised it reminded her of an animal about to pounce on its prey. "Doctor!" She called out. Amber looked at the screen again. The Angel had moved. "Doctor!" Not only had the Angel moved, but it had also become a solid object in the room. Amber couldn't hold it in anymore and she creamed, louder than she had before. "Doctor it's in the room!"

"Winter!" She heard the Doctor shout. Took him long enough. She thought. It took all of Amber's self control to not look towards the door, comfort flooding through her at the Doctors presence – but the Angel now had a solid form. She couldn't afford to not keep looking anymore.

"Doctor." She only called out again.

"Are you all right? What's happening?" The Doctor asked from the other side of the door.

"Doctor it's coming out of the screen. The Angel is coming out of the screen."

"Don't take your eyes off it!" She heard the comforting whir of his sonic screwdriver. "It can't move if you're looking. What's wrong? It's deadlocked."

"There is no deadlock." It was River's voice she heard this time and although she felt jealousy towards the woman, Amber still felt relief shoot through her.

"Don't blink, Winter! Don't even blink!" Amber mentally rolled her eyes at the comment.

"What do you think I'm doing? Taking a nap? No! This isn't easy Doctor so will you hurry up!"

"What are you doing?" River asked the Doctor. Amber didn't care so long as it was helping her.

"I'm cutting the power. It's using the screen; I'm turning the screen off." That wont work, Amber thought. "It's no good, it's deadlocked the whole system." Told you.

"There's no deadlock."

"There is now!" The Doctor shouted. He was starting to panic now. Winter was still in there and according to her, the Angel now had a physical form. That meant that she could be displaced in time if the Angel touched her. But that's not so bad. The Doctor found himself thinking. If that happens then I will find her!

"Yeh, still trapped in here. Help me!" Amber snapped.

"Winter! Can you turn it off?" He asked.

"No, I've already tried. The Angel keeps turning it back on." Amber found her eyes itching so she moved them around, still on the Angel mind you, just at another point on the statue. As it happened, her gaze fell on the Angels eyes. It was a creepy feeling, Amber realised. Looking into the eyes of the thing that wanted to kill you but she found that for some reason, she couldn't look away.

As she carried on looking into the Angels eyes she felt a horrible cold feeling – like someone was walking over her grave and she felt as if someone was crawling into her soul. Quickly she tore her eye from it's, and moved them over to the Angels chest.

"Winter try again!" The Doctor shouted bringing her back to reality. "Each time it moves, it becomes faster so don't even blink!"

"I'm not! Have you ever tried not blinking Doctor? Let me tell it's hard." She tried turning it off again but once again the screen flickered on. "Doctor?" Her voice was quieter now, softer. "It's not a recording anymore is it?" She asked.

"No, anything that takes the image of an Angel is an Angel. Just keep looking at it Winter."

"What's it going to do to me? What'll happen if it touches me?" Amber's voice was still quiet, too quiet. It was almost resigned; and the Doctor didn't like her tone. It sounded like she was giving up.

"Just – don't look away."

"Don't hide the truth Doctor, just tell me what its going to do to me." Her voice was almost a whisper now and when she didn't hear anything from the Doctor she all but gave up.

Then she heard his voice again. "Winter not the eyes. Look anywhere but don't look at the eyes." His voice sounded panicky and Amber froze.

"Why not the eyes Doctor?"

"The eyes are not the windows of the soul, they are the doors. Beware what may enter there." On reflex Amber looked into it's eyes again but then dropped the just as quickly. This was not good. There's an Angel standing in front of me waiting to kill me and it's only meant to be an image on a – Wait!

"What did you just say?"

"Don't look at the eyes." He repeated.

"No not that bit; the bit about images."

"Whatever holds the image of an Angel, is an Angel." Amber smiled at the Angel. "Alright then Angel, try and hold this. One…two…three…four." She pressed the remote on the static part of the clip and the screen went off. What was better was it stayed off.

The door automatically opened and Amber swung around. "I froze it! There was a part on the clip that went static after the four seconds and I froze it on the static and the screen didn't turn on again." She grinned at the Doctor and River. "You have to admit that was pretty awesome."

"Your right. That was amazing!" River said hugging her. "Doctor you'd better hug her before I hit you." She said teasingly.

"You don't have to. I'm fi-" she was cut off with a hug from the Doctor.

She was so surprised that she took a little while hugging him back but when she did, she hugged him fiercely. "Don't worry me like that okay?" The Doctor said breathing in her scent. She smelt like pomegranates, honey and a crisp winter morning. That had been part of the reason he had constantly called her Winter instead of Amber.

"I'm fine Doctor." She said smiling at him when he pulled back. "I'm always fine." She smiled again as he hugged her and his unique smell filled her nose; it was a mixture between pine and mint. It was odd but it was comforting.

"So it was here? That was the Angel?" River asked when they pulled apart again. "That was a projection of the Angel. It's reaching out, getting a good look at us. It's no longer dormant." An explosion went off in the background making Amber jump.

"Were through Doctor." Father Octavian called out.

"Now it starts." The Doctor said sullenly.

Okay I know I said I would do two parters as a whole, but the chapter i'm writig is getting of to a slow start so...

Oh and I know that I missed the Dalek one but they come up so many times and there was nothing that important in it so i decided to skip it. Like I said before, this is FanFictio; we have the Artistic license to be able to do stuff like that.

A head's up though; after Flesh and Stone, things will get very different.
