Theta woke up on a cold dirt floor. He started to sit up, and a sharp pain went through his head. He hissed through his teeth and forced himself to sit up all the way and look around. He appeared to be in some sort of cell. The walls were high and made of smooth marble, no chance of climbing that. The door was solid wood with a small covered window near the top.

Theta groaned in pain as he tried to stand up, but he finally sank back down to the floor and leaned up against one of the walls. He couldn't remember exactly where he was or what happened. It had something to do with Allie...something...he suddenly remembered.

He used the wall as a way to stand up and he reached into his coat pocket. He had been working on a sonic screwdriver and he hoped that it would be done enough to open the door. He finally found it and pulled it out. It wasn't much, it looked like a gray pen light, but hopefully it would be enough.

Theta walked over to the door, leaning on the wall for support. He set it to the proper settings and aimed it at the door, nothing. He tried it again, and again nothing. It wasn't working.

He sank back down to the floor and put his head in his hands. He had to get out. He had to save Allie. He just hoped he wasn't too late.


Allie sat in her own small cell. The soldiers had thrown her in there at least two hours ago and she was getting hungry.

She got up and walked over to the door. "Hello?" She yelled and banged on the door. "Hello? Anyone out there? I'm hungry!"

She heard footsteps and the window was suddenly uncovered. A young looking soldier looked through it. "Don't worry, just a little bit longer and you won't have to worry about being hungry." He chuckled at his own bad joke.

Allie started to tell him off and then she got an idea. "I'm just so hungry..." She started to act like she was going to faint. "If I don't get any food soon..." She pretended to faint.

The soldier gasped. "Hey, are you okay?"

She didn't answer.

The soldier turned toward another soldier. "Help! Something happened to her!"

The older soldier quickly came over and looked at Allie "passed out" on the floor. "You better hope nothing happened to her." He growled as he fished for his keys. "She's our only hope at the gods forgiving us."

The older soldier finally got the door open and went over to Allie. "Miss?" He gingerly shook her shoulder. "Miss? You alright?"

Allie quickly opened her eyes and before the soldier could do anything she kicked him swiftly between his legs. He groaned and fell down on the floor in pain. The younger soldier stared at the other soldier for a second before quickly going after Allie. She dodged him and went out the door, shutting it behind her. The soldier started banging on the door yelling for help but Allie only shut the window so his yells weren't as loud.

Allie looked around and saw that she was in a long hallway. Down each side were several wooden doors like the one that was on her cell, and there were a lot of them. She had no idea how she was going to find Theta. She quickly looked around again and saw that there were no other guards around. They must be getting ready for the...thing. Allie couldn't even bring herself to think about what they had planned for her.

She bent down and grabbed the keys the soldier had dropped on the floor and started walking down the hall, hoping she would find Theta soon.


Theta's head was now starting to feel better and he could actually stand up and walk around the cell now. He was absolutely frustrated with the fact that he couldn't get out of it. His first priority when...if...he got out of this time was to fix his screwdriver so that it would actually work in situations like this. That way he wouldn't ever be stuck again. He was also frustrated that he couldn't save Allie. It wasn't fair that she was stuck here, waiting for her death. No one would even know that she had died here. Except him. And the flood was coming soon. If he couldn't get out he would probably die here too, it would be too fast for him to regenerate.

He sighed and angrily kicked the door. It shuddered. He looked at the door. It was only made of wood and the hinges didn't even look very strong. He kicked it again, harder this time. It shuddered again, but not enough to get knocked down. He needed more power. He backed up to the back wall and ran full speed at the door and hit it with his shoulder.

"Ow!" He grabbed his shoulder. It hurt more than he thought it would, and the door was still there.

He backed up again, ready to hit it with his other shoulder.


Allie heard a door bang a little farther down the hall.

"Ow!" She heard someone yell. It sounded like Theta. She quickly went over the door and put in the key.


Theta charged at the door and the door flew open to reveal Allie.

"Allie," He gasped and charged right into her, causing them both to fall on the ground. Theta landing on top of her.

Allie looked up at him. "What exactly were you trying to do?"

"Well...I was trying to...knock the door down." He said.

"And how did that work out for you?" She asked.

"Not too well." He said.

Allie smirked and suddenly realized how very, very close they were. "Uh..." She licked her lips. "Could you maybe...?"

"Oh!" Theta said, as if suddenly realized he was still on top of her. "Right." He stood up and reached out his hand to help her up.

She took it and stood up. "So..." She looked around the hallway. "Where do we go now?"


A/N: Sorry for the wait but I have exams coming up so I have had a lot of homework and not a lot of free time. I was able to write this chapter today because it snowed and school was cancelled! I'm excited because we only get snow here like once every three years and this is the second time it's snowed in the past WEEK. I thought that the Earth was supposed to be getting warmer? Oh well...please review!
