Dani was too deep in the trance to just be woken up by a simple wave of the sonic screwdriver, so The Doctor knew that he actually had to go into her mind to wake her up, which was always tricky. He had to be extremely careful, because if he woke her up too fast, it could cause potential brain damage or worse. But, he knew it had to be done. He whispered an "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry" to Dani, and amid all of the crying and chaos that was happening around them, he put his fingers to her temples and closed his eyes, entering her mind. He probed her mind, avoiding any of her personal thoughts.
The Doctor found the correct spot that he needed to be in in order to wake Dani up, but he realized that the only thing that he needed to do was create a wall to block the signal, considering that she was struggling to break out of her trance. She definitely had a fighting spirit. He put the wall up and left her mind. It would take a little bit of time for it to work, but in the meantime, he thought he'd give her some encouragement.
"C'mon, Dani." He said, looking at her still vacant expression. "I know you're strong enough to break through this trance. I saw you fighting it. You can do it." The Doctor saw a glimpse of something in her eyes and knew she was going to be ok.
A few seconds later, whether it was the fact that Dani had succeeded in winning the inner battle with herself, The wall that The Doctor had put up in her head, his encouraging words, or a combination of both, Dani started to come out of her trance. "Wha- what? What just happened" She asked, blinking and holding her head as she started to sway a bit.
"Whoa. Easy there." The Doctor said, as he helped ease her back down on the seat. "You just came out of a trance, so you may be a little bit shaky for a bit. But, other than that, how are you feeling?"
Dani sighed and ran her hand through her hair. Of all the things that could have happened, being in a trance was better than dying. "Well, other than a really bad headache and feeling like I'd keel over if I tried to stand, I'm doing pretty good." She said.
"I can help with that headache. Hang on." The Doctor waved the sonic over her body for the second time that day, curing her massive headache, but also making sure that she was actually fine. After checking the scans, he concluded that she was back to herself.
"That's the fastest a headache of mine has ever gone away." Dani said, impressed with the sonic. "I mean, I know it doesn't do wood, but does it do everything else."
"Pretty much." The Doctor said, putting the sonic back in his pocket. "Well, except for killing. That it doesn't do. Anyways, I'm sure you have some questions."
"Actually, yeah. First of all, how did I get into the trance anyways, and how did I get out of it?" Dani asked.
"Well, to answer your first question, the reason you were in the trance in the first place was because of Faenia. The screech that she let out was a high enough frequency to affect you and the other girls, but not anyone else." The Doctor said, inevitably waiting for the next question that would come, because it was bound to happen anyways.
"Ok, so obviously she's not actually a goddess, so then is she an alien?" Dani asked.
The Doctor nodded his head. "Yup." He said. "She's from a species called the kura. Their true forms are bird like in nature, but they're shapeshifters. Beautiful creatures. They're very peaceful, so she must be a rouge one."
Dani nodded her head, then moved on to the other issue at hand. How on earth she'd gotten out of the trance. "Ok, I'm going to want to revisit that again, but I really wanna know how on earth I got out of that trance. Granted, I've never been in one, but they can't be that easy to get out of." She said, trying to remember what exactly had happened.
"I'm going to answer your question, but first, I need to know something. Do you remember anything at all while you were under?" The Doctor asked Dani, hiding back a small grin.
Dani tried to recall what had happened. "I remember something taking over me and being scared that I didn't have control of my body." She shivered as she flashed back. It was one of the scariest things she'd gone through.
"But then it almost felt like there was a wall that ended up in my mind that was in between me and whatever was controlling me. Almost like someone placed it there, because it felt like there was someone else in my mind helping me..." She trailed off when she realized who that was and looked at the Doctor, who now had a full on grin, in shock. "It was you!" She said. "You were the one who put that wall up, and was helping me weren't you?!"
"'Course it was!" The Doctor replied cheekily. "How else was I going to get you back to normal that quickly? Honestly, that was the only way to wake you up."
"So wait. You're telling me that you have the ability to go into people's minds?" Dani asked him, still trying to wrap her mind around yet another strange thing.
"Well, it's more like telepathy, but yup. It's one of the abilities of my species." The Doctor replied. "And I promise you, all your private thoughts are still yours. I just went in there to help get you out of that trance and build a wall in there so it wouldn't happen again."
"I just... Wow." Dani murmured, shaking her head in shock. She definitely was learning more and more about her new friend. It was official, if she didn't know it then, she certainly knew it now. Her life was definitely never going to be the same ever again.
To be honest, I feel like the doctor would do something like that to help his companions out. I mean, we all know that he has some for of telepathy as evidenced by the psychic paper. And he's gone into people's minds for various reasons, so why shouldn't he go into someone's mind to get them out of a trance. Anyways, make sure to read, review and follow!
