(I sadly do not own Doctor who. Doctor Who belongs to BBC. I do not own Jason/Astronomer, my friend does. But I do own Tessa.)

Chapter 10

Guess what? More problems!

Tessa closed her eyes. "Dex?" She tried to connect to him. The Cyberman was still in the forest. "Oh." Matt replied.

The Astronomer rolled his eyes, as if it were obvious to the answer. The Doctor blinked, hearing Tessa. "Yes? Where are you?" he replied back to her, pausing to wait for her guidance.

"An abandoned house. Tell me where you are and I can try and lead you to us." she replied. "Well... I think I'm in the middle of the forest judging by the amount of trees and things running about." He replied.

Tessa paled. "Get out. Get out now." she ordered. "Once you get out of there then keep running straight and I'll be outside awaiting you." she told him. Jason narrowed his eyes at her. "What's wrong?" he mouthed to her. The Doctor caught the hint of warning in her voice, and so he did the only smart thing. He bolted off in the direction she told him to run.

A Cyberman was now chasing him. "He's in the forest." she mouthed back. Jason looked horror stricken, but shook his head quickly. The look left his gaze. The Doctor could hear the Cyber Man, and so he picked up his pace. He saw the abandoned house, and hurried towards it.

Tessa walked outside and waved to him quickly. "Hurry!" she called. The Cyberman ran after him, If Cybermen can run in the first place. The Doctor ran over, pulling Tessa inside behind him and slamming the door. "I really hate Cybermen." he said. Tessa pulled him into a hug. "Jason! He's here!" she called. Jenna walked in.

Jason ran over. "Oh thank Gallifrey your here!" he exclaimed happily. The Doctor hugged her back. Matt came in. Tessa smiled. "This is Matt and Jenna," she gestured to Matt and Jenna. "Matt, Jenna, this is The Doctor." she introduced. "Interesting." The Doctor said, inspecting Matt. "Um..." Matt said.

Jason became interested in a wall. Tessa giggled. Jenna smiled. "Nice to meet you." she replied. The Cyberman couldn't keep up with the Doctor. Tessa suddenly collapsed. The Doctor caught Tessa. He set her down, pulling his sonic from his pocket. He scanned her with it, trying to figure out why she collapsed.

Matt just watched him. He wasn't sure how to react at all. Jason saw the commotion, and tore his gaze away from the wall. Tessa was pale again. She was breathing heavily. Jenna looked at them, worried. The Doctor sighed, not getting any readings. He put his sonic back in his pocket. "She's probably low on energy." he said, although he was unsure of himself.

"She's been 'low on energy' the whole time. What does it mean?" Matt asked. Jason looked at Matt. "She basically runs on huen energy. If that runs out, she dies. If she is low, she passes out and has a hard time thinking. Her body has her pass out so she can gain more energy." he explained. Jenna looked at them. "Will she be okay?" she asked. Tessa was becoming cold. "Hopefully." The Doctor said with a sigh.
