Chapter Twelve:
Lily sat up slowly. It was dark but she could see enough to know that she was still in the bedroom. She felt of her head. There was definitely a bump.
"Lily?" She heard The Doctor's voice from down the hall.
"Lily, where are you?" Jack called out.
"I'm across from Rose's old room," she yelled for them as best as she could. The Doctor ran in quickly, followed by Jack. Both held flashlights.
"Lily! I was worried sick about you!" The Doctor exclaimed as he kissed her forehead and hugged her. "Are you alright?" He pulled back and felt of her head.
"I bumped my head," she said, wincing. The Doctor had found it! "What happened?"
"Something pulled the TARDIS out of the time vortex," Jack answered as The Doctor continued his examination of Lily.
"What?" She asked, avoiding a probing sonic screwdriver.
"We don't know. Now hold still," The Doctor said.
"I'm fine, Doctor! Really!" She exclaimed. The Doctor sighed, shoving his screwdriver back in his pocket, and stood to his feet. He pulled Lily up too. "What's wrong with the TARDIS?"
"She used all her power to maintain shields when we were pulled away. It's going to take her a while to recharge," The Doctor said, patting the wall.
"Oh. Well, where are we then?" Lily asked.
"Let's go find out!' The Doctor said, smiling. All three quickly ran from the room to the doors of the TARDIS. The Doctor stepped out and stopped short. Jack and Lily avoided running him over. Jack gasped loudly.
"Doc, this isn't, it can't be," Jack spoke in fragments.
"What? Where are we? What is this place?" Lily asked, slightly worried.
"This is, this is bad. This is very not good," The Doctor said, taking a step forward.
"What brought us back here?" Jack asked. The Doctor instinctively looked up at the wall where the words "Bad Wolf" had once been. He shuddered at the memory.
"Alright! Let's think about this!" The Doctor started to pace. "Something pulled the TARDIS out of the time vortex. It, or they, brought us to Satellite 5. First off, what would have the power to pull a TARDIS out of flight? Easy! Nothing!" The Doctor was in full blown rant mode now. "Unless, no, yes! Unless it, or they, also had time traveling capabilities! That narrows it down to one thing!" The Doctor stopped and turned to Jack. "Do you hear that?" Jack and Lily froze, listening intently. It wasn't long before they heard the sound of metal wheels coming towards them.
"Intruder alert!" A mechanical, yet almost nasally voice screamed from the door.
"Doctor," Jack said.
"Yes Captain?" The Doctor asked. He quickly pulled Lily to stand behind him as the door opened. A pale blue dot was just visible in the shadows.
"Please tell me that's not what I think it is!" Jack exclaimed, pulling his gun.
"I wish I could Jack!" The Doctor said as the blue light grew closer. The cylindrical machine came into full view.
"EXTERMINATE!"
