I could hear the sonic screwdriver buzzing by my head. I thought I was dreaming until I felt a hand in mine and heard Gwen's voice, "Zorah? Zorah can you hear me?" When I didn't respond she sighed and let my hand go. "Doctor what if she doesn't wake up?"

I heard the Doctor speaking softly, "She is waking up, she can probably hear us right now. But she needs a little encouragement, just like if you're coming out of a coma."

"Let me try." To my surprise it was Arthur's voice that spoke. I felt him take my hand, "Zorah, if you can hear me I want you to know that I'm sorry you got hurt. I know you think I'm angry with you for standing up to me but in all honesty I think it was very brave and I thank you. I may still act arrogant but I'm more conscious of it and I think that will make me a better king when the time comes. Zorah if you can hear me please show me. You have to come back."

I groaned, "My god your voice is annoying." My eyes fluttered open and I looked at him. It was blurry at first but it cleared up after a while.

He held my hand tighter and kissed the back of it before letting it go, "Thank god you woke up."

I smirked, "I'm sorry, but for a moment Arthur you sounded like you cared."

Arthur rolled his eyes, "Yes well keep your mouth shut about it."

"Where's Merlin?" I tried to look around but my head and my neck on the right side exploded with pain.

Just then Gaius walked in, "Merlin went to get you something to eat. Here," He handed me a vile, "Don't sniff it don't look at it just drink it, it will help with the pain for now." I took the vile and downed it in one gulp. It stung like hell going down and my throat on the right side throbbed with pain so intense I almost cried.

The Doctor came around and took my hand, "It's okay, you're okay. It's going to hurt for a little bit but that stuff Gaius gave you should help." He lowered his head to my ear, "And when we get back home I'll have Jack give you something a little more helpful." I smiled weakly at him and nodded, only to throw myself back into the pain.

Merlin walked through the door carrying a tray and saw me almost in tears. He placed the tray on the table and ran to my side. "Zorah, oh thank god you're awake."

I smiled at him the best I could, "You can't get rid of me that easy."

Arthur cleared his throat, "Yes well, um now that you're awake I can see that you are well taken care off so I should be going back to my father."

I looked at him confused, "Didn't you go see him when we got back?"

Merlin grinned, "No, he stayed by your side the whole time, even when Gaius asked him to move."

I laughed slightly, "I knew you cared. See, I was right about you. Arrogant but not heartless."

He sighed, "Yes Zorah you were right. And I am sorry about hurting you."

I smiled at him, "Don't worry about it, it had to be done."

He shook his head, "I didn't even mean to cut that deep it just happened."

I reached for his arm, "Arthur, it's okay, I'm fine now. And you didn't cut that deep, I'm a bleeder as my father proved many times."

The Doctor looked at me, "Jack or the other?"

"The other." He nodded and looked away again.

Merlin looked at me, "Other?"

I shrugged it off, "Long story, long boring story that you really don't want to hear." He sighed and nodded. "So Doctor, I suppose you're going to take me home now right?"

He looked at me with a solemn face, "Zorah I really don't have a choice, if I don't and you start to bleed again…"

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah I know." I could feel tears welling up in my eyes, "Doctor I don't want to go home, not now."

"I know, but we have to. We should get going soon."

I racked the back of my mind for an excuse not to leave and then it hit me, "Wait, two of them escaped, they could come back and try to hurt other people."

Merlin snapped his fingers, "That's right! I had totally forgotten about that, I was too worried about you to remember."

I smirked and turned to Arthur, "And what's your excuse for not remembering?"

He rolled his eyes, "I didn't see it."

I scoffed, "Right."

The Doctor rolled his eyes, "It doesn't matter I will take you home and then I'll come back and fix it."

I shook my head, "I'm not going back, not yet. You promised me an adventure, you promised!"

The held my face in his hands, "Zorah I know I promised and I'm sorry, but you had your adventure. The rest is too dangerous you're already hurt-"

"Then the family won't be able to use me as host. I'm injured but I can last until the end. Please Doctor." There were tears in my eyes, I wasn't leaving him alone, and I didn't want to go home yet.

He sighed, "I'm sorry Zorah, I won't risk your life." He put my arm around his shoulder, "Come on, stand up."

Just then a voice made us all turn, "I'm sorry as well…Doctor." We all turned to see the little girl standing in the doorway. She took a step forward, "How many more will die?" she took another step forward, "How many more can we kill?" She took yet another step, "Before you understand." She pulled out that odd looking gun again and pointed it at Gaius. She looked at me, "Hello sister of mine, good to see you are well."

I glared, "I am no sister of yours. And if it is so good why do you see to shoot the one who healed me?"

"Oh but you see, sister of mine, the old man is of no use to us. Join me sister of mine. Take over this world with me. Live forever with me." She started deep into my eyes.

My head suddenly felt like it was exploding into a thousand pieces. I fell to the floor holding my head in pain. "Stop it! Whatever you doing just stop it!" Arthur pulled out his sword and struck the girl. The entity inside her left and faded dead into the air, but the pain did not stop.

The Doctor turned on his sonic and pointed it at me, "No. No, no! We've got to get her back to the TARDIS."

Arthur looked at him like he was crazy, "The what?"

The Doctor was already halfway out the door, "Just pick her up and follow me!" Arthur lifted me off the ground and ran after the Doctor with Merlin and Gwen on his heels. When they got to the TARDIS they all piled into the blue police box. The Doctor pointed to the seat by the console, "Lay her down there."

As soon as Arthur put me down I curled into a ball holding my head, "Doctor what's happening to me!"

The Doctor pulled a leaver, "Your body's going through a genetic transformation. It's impossible but it's happening." He taped on the keys attached to the moving screen, "Remember when the little girl kept calling you sister of mine even after the entity was gone? Well that's because you are becoming one of them. But if can just get this to work it should am the signal and stop it." He pulled another leaver and suddenly the pain stopped. He ran to my side and pulled me close. I didn't hesitate to throw myself into his arms. I cried into his shoulder, not because of the pain but because of how close a call it was.

Merlin ran up to me and hugged me as well, "Are you alright?" I nodded and held on as tightly as I could.

The Doctor opened the door, "I know you both have questions, you and Arthur, but I'm afraid I can't answer them. You have to go back now, say goodbye. I have to get Zorah home."

Merlin nodded and helped me stand up and I walked with them to the door. There were more tears in my eyes as I turned to Gwen, "I'm going to miss you Gwen." We shared a hug and I turned to Merlin, "Merlin, what can I say? I'm going to miss you so much." We shared another hug and I pulled away, "Stay out of trouble you hear me?"

Arthur scoffed, "Come now, you can't ask for the impossible."

I turned to Arthur, "And you, try not to be so stuck up. Take your nose out of the air you might not catch so many foul smells. That's something you might want to tell your father as well."

He grinned at me, which was not the reaction I was thinking of getting. He walked up to me and took my hand, "You," he said, "Need to stop looking for trouble, it will find you either way. Take care of yourself Zorah, and if you ever need anything our doors are open." He kissed my forehead and let go of my hand, turning to walk out the door. I stood there bewildered, not even noticing that the TARDIS had starting travelling again. When it stopped the Doctor came up behind me. He opened the door and pushed me out.

Jack gawked, "Zorah what happened? Where did you go? Back in time or forwards in time?"

I looked bewildered, "We went back in time."

He crossed his arms over his chest as the Doctor stepped out, "I hope you had fun missy because you are in a lot of trouble."

I looked at him and grinned, "You have no idea." Just then my head started to spin and I grabbed onto the TARDIS for balance. I grabbed my head, "Oh my god, Owen!" The Doctor took hold of me and led me to Owen's office.

Jack followed behind anxiously, "What is it what's wrong with her?" The Doctor shooed him away and kept walking.

Owen came out and saw me, "Oh Zorah what happened to you?"

The pain in my shoulder was starting to come back, "Long story, I'll tell you later. I need drugs and I need them now."

The Doctor sat me on the steps and Owen got out a syringe and filled it with morphine. He walked back over to me and held out the syringe, "You're going to feel a pinch and then-"

I rolled my eyes, "Fuck that just put it in!" He gave me the morphine and the pain instantly faded. I sighed and leaned back against the Doctor's legs.

Owen walked back over to the autopsy table and fumbled around his bag. He walked back over with a bottle in his hand. He grabbed a cloth on his way over. "This might sting a little." He sprayed the cloth with the contents of the bottle and pressed it to my shoulder. It did sting, but a lot more than a little. I stifled a scream and simply whimpered at the pain. Cam ran in and saw me.

I smiled the best I could, "Hey Cam miss me?"

He shook his head, "There wasn't enough time to miss you. What happened to you?"

My face turned to a casual grin, "I had an adventure. Left too soon though; the adventure's not over yet."

The Doctor sighed, "Zorah even if I could get you away from Jack long enough to finish this if they haven't died already you could be in danger. We had a close enough call on the way here."

Cam looked at me, then at the Doctor, then back at me, "If who isn't dead? What danger? What close call?"

I rolled my eyes, "Like I said, I had an adventure."

Jack came in and sat beside the Doctor, "And would you like to tell us exactly what adventure that was?"

I smiled, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

Jack leaned forward, "Try me."

(I am so sorry for the wait for anyone who is actually reading this I had major writers block.)
