A/N ~ I know, I've taken ages to update with this chapter, I apologise, please don't hate me. I've been busy with a lot of homework and tests that I have to get done before the holidays. And sorry for those who I have promised to review stuff for, like I say I've been really busy. I will try and get as much done over this weekend. I've done a longer chapter to make up for everything :-)
On with the chapter:


He knew it had to be done, though he still didn't want to do it.

Rory wandered casually, (As casually as possible under the circumstances.) with Lorna toward the cave entrance where the Doctor was supposedly being kept.

"So, we're just supposed to sort of… stride around? Look at me I don't belong here kind of thing yea?" asked Rory raising an eyebrow.

Lorna shrugged "yea, s'pose" she smiled.

"Oh, great" said Rory shrugging, he paused for a moment and clicked his tongue, "I think."


Amy kept a short distance behind Rory and Lorna, ready to get the Doctor.

She kept herself pressed against the cave wall and hidden in the shadows hoping not to be spotted.

She watched as they cautiously approached three large men who were standing in the cave entrance. They were bigger than Rory, much bigger, and a lot stronger and muscular too.

She could see Rory frantically whispering to Lorna, going over and over the 'plan.'

As they approached, the three men at the cave seemed to remain completely unaware of the pair approaching.

As Rory and Lorna were only inches away they froze, unsure of really 'how' they were going to distract them.

Suddenly, to Amy's surprise Lorna shoved Rory forward towards the three men.

"Look!" Lorna shouted "he's escaped!"

Rory opened his mouth in shock and his eyes grew wide as all three of the tribe people turned and faced Rory, each one holding a hand made spear.

"Um, hi?" said Rory awkwardly waving his hand sheepishly.

"Get him!" grunted one of the spear holders.

Rory opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water for a moment before quickly pulling himself together and turning and running down a small cave, trying to lead them away from Amy and the others.

The cave people gave chase, shoving past Lorna.

"Stop him!" one shouted throwing his spear forward, it skimmed past Rory's head as he quickly dipped out of the way, disappearing down a tunnel.

All three tribe people pelted down the tunnel after him, Amy knew she didn't have long before more people came to see what all the fuss was about.

She turned to Lorna who had now rejoined her at her side.

"He'll be fine" Lorna smiled awkwardly.

Amy sighed.


"In here" said Lorna as she lead Amy into the biggest cave.

Luckily there were no tribe people there, but they knew they didn't have long.

Amy immediately spotted the Doctor, laying awkwardly in the centre of the spacious cave on a very uncomfortable looking rock.

As she approached him she realised that he was fast asleep. She had never seen him sleeping before, he looked so peaceful compared to his usually eccentric self. So peaceful she didn't want to wake him.

Amy smiled as she stood by his side, he looked nearly unharmed, apart from his right arm that had been put into a sling across his chest, making his position look even more uncomfortable.

She gently brushed his daft fringe back from his face and kissed him on the forehead. Immediately his eyes flickered open, he squinted a little before a small smile began to tug at the corners of his lips.

"Amy" he smiled relieved, Amy noticed how hoarse his voice sounded.

Amy smiled back, "you scared us half to death," she said "we've been worrying about you."

"You know me," he laughed "King of ok."

Amy didn't know if she should be happy and relieved that she had found him, or cross with him for not being more careful. She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"We have to get out of here" she said, "Rory's distracting the locals, we haven't got long."

"Don't I at least get to say goodbye?" he asked smiling.

"Probably best if you don't" said Amy shaking her head.

The Doctor looked confused for a moment, he frowned at her. "You should meet them, Crystal's nice, she helped me. She'll probably let you join us for supper and stuff."

"They tied us up, Doctor. We were here and we saw you but they wouldn't let us get to you."

The Doctors smile had disappeared, he looked hurt, "I knew I'd seen you, she said it was my imagination, but-"

They were suddenly interrupted as Rory came running into the cave, puffing and panting. He finally stopped next to Amy and quickly tried to get his breath back.

"You were supposed to be leading them away from us, not to us!" Amy snapped.

Rory breathed quickly and heavily, "we have to go."

They helped the Doctor up as carefully as possible but he still winced a little, he tried to hide it as best he could.

They helped him to his feet and Rory quickly pulled the Doctors good arm over his shoulder so he could lean his weight against him.

They turned for the cave entrance, the Doctor grunted quietly as they took a step forward, Rory noticed he was limping slightly and guessed that his arm wasn't his only injury.

Suddenly they stopped in their tracks. The three men that had been chasing Rory earlier were now stood in the doorway, and they didn't look happy.

Rory smiled nervously "hi again."

You know what to do, please review :-D

That button there, as Donna would say.
