Chapter ten

The Doctor emerged from the Tardis first; the forest was dark and quiet with only a few sounds coming from nocturnal creatures. He had explained to Howard and Vince about running back towards the Tardis when the spirit caught sight of Vince and had told Naboo to remain in the ship ready with the hoover.

"Good luck everyone. Remember Vince, no touching."
"Yeah, yeah I get it!" Vince pushed past the Doctor and took a deep breath smiling at the forest surrounding him feeling at home.
"Come on, this way." The Doctor sniffed the air and turned left leading the other's through the forest, they clambered over fallen trees and pushed through bushes. The Doctor glanced at both the younger and older Vince Noirs and noticed they both seemed completely comfortable in the forest even though they were both in danger. Howard had put the child down and let him walk on his own while holding his hand; the Doctor glanced back occasionally checking they were still there.

"Stop!" The Doctor hissed as he peered through some thorn bushes, his companions obeyed instantly and stood still just listening and waiting "I can see him." He turned round to face them "Remember the plan?" They nodded and he turned back "Hang on..."

"What?" Howard asked in a whisper trying to look through the bushes.

"He's gone..." The Doctor straightened up while scratching the back of his head "Where did he go?" He turned round slowly and dropped his hand, his eyes had widened and his mouth dropped a little "Ah..." Howard and Vince swung round to face the spirit whose eyes were flaming red.
"Did ya miss me boy?" The spirit grinned down at the child then turned to Vince and cocked his head slightly "And you? You's him." He pointed at the child and the Doctor pushed through Howard and Vince to the front.
"Yes...Funny story that actually if you wanted to hear it?"

"No not really. Who is this asshole?"
"Now, now. Language...There are children present!"
"To hell with you man! Outta ma way, I'll take both if ya don't mind." The Spirit progressed forward, Vince snapped into action and pulled Howard's arm dragging them both through the thorn bushes, the child still clutching Howard's hand was dragged through too.
"We need to run!" Vince ordered pressing forward at a speed Howard didn't think he was capable of, the Doctor gripped the spirit's arm and spun him round to face the Timelord.
"Now be reasonable...You don't need Vince! What would you need a young boy for?" The spirit ignored the Doctor and flung his arm into his chest knocking him off his feet, the Jazz spirit then turned and chased Howard, Vince and the child.
"I'ma comin' for ya boy! There's no hidin' from me!"

"Vince we need to be going the other way! The Tardis is behind us!" Howard yelled panicking slightly as he pulled the child up into his arms and ran faster catching up to the thinner man.
"I know! I know..." He called back helplessly "I don't know what to do! We've got some stupid Jazzy freak chasing us and I can't breathe for running!" They ran through some more bushes which slowed them down slightly, Howard glanced behind him and saw the spirit was extremely close, he pushed his legs to go faster but they felt shakey and were giving up.
"I gotcha boy!" The spirit bellowed grabbing at Howard and pulling him to the ground, the child tumbled from his arms and fell across the forest floor too shocked and scared to even think about crying.
"Vince!" Howard cried catching Vince's attention, he spun round and saw Howard on the floor wrestling the spirit trying to stop him from getting to the child "Take him, you have to save him!" Vince hesitated on the spot "Just run with him!" The spirit pushed Howard aside and stood up quickly, Vince approached the child with clenched fists and starred at the red flaming pupils before him.
"And what you gonna do boy? You can't even touch him! Can ya?" The spirit cocked his head to the side again and grinned madly at Vince "I know what'll happen if ya do...Complete chaos!"

"And if I give him to you?"
"You'll die anyway boy!" Vince took another step forward and starred the spirit in the eye.
"Well it's a chance I'll have to take then isn't it?"

The Doctor screwed his hair up in his hands again then with wide eyes dashed back towards his ship ignoring the pain in his chest, Naboo was ready and waiting but seemed a little disappointed when the Doctor appeared with no Vinces or Howard.

The Time traveller ran to the console and hammered at buttons and dials, the ship took off roughly and flew through the forest crashing through trees and ripping down vines and tearing up bushes. Naboo starred at the Doctor, his expression was angry and determined. He landed the ship violently and checked the scanner then dashed to the doors nearly slipping and flung them wide open revealing the forest.
"No Vince!" He yelled a minute too late as he watched the older man's hand connect with the younger's.
