Matron was fuming. It had been three days since Annalise had mysteriously disappeared and there was no trace of her anywhere. She'd had her staff searching high and low and now she was beginning to panic. What if the girl had escaped? She shook her head, she was being stupid, there was no escape from the institute. The girl was probably hiding in the cellars somewhere, snivelling about her woes. She sighed, she was beginning to tire of this job, sure at first it was fun, terrorising everyone suited her nasty streak perfectly, but recently she had been getting tired, tired of the brutality, tired of the children and tired of all the bloody admin. She sighed again as a sharp knocking at her door heralded the arrival of her search team.

"Enter" she said curtly only raising her eyes from the paperwork on her desk when she could be sure the team was squirming. She out stared each and everyone one of the four hulking men until they were all staring at the floor in front of them squirming. "SO?" She enquired, her tone dangerously calm.

"Um, well, erm, we.. well" the leader of the team stuttered, he had to be pushing 20 stone of pure muscle but under Matron's glare he was reduced to a quivering five year old on his first day of school.

"Enough!" Matron snapped, she was sick of her incompetent staff. Honestly if you wanted something done it was better to do it yourself. She sighed as she stood. "I shall look for the girl myself. You lot make sure no one else escapes." She sighed again as they stood in her office all looking a little bit lost. "WELL GO." She almost screamed this as her last shred of patience ebbed away. The team hurried from the room pushing in front of each other- no one wanting to bear the brunt of the Matron's temper.

Matron left her office her smart black heels tapping threateningly along the polished wood floors that made up the corridors of the institute. Her steps echoed throughout the silent halls, the only sound in the massive building. She was livid, if Annalise got to any relevant authorities-the shadow proclamation for example, then the wrath of hell would be upon them and it would mean prison for sure, possibly even a death sentence. Matron shuddered, she didn't want to die.

The TARDIS spun and bounced around as if in a pinball machine, the Doctor was clinging on to the console and grinning wildly, whilst Rose clung on opposite watching him with a look of sheer joy. Annalise was clinging to the guardrail looking slightly incredulously at them both.

"You're both crazy, you know that?" She giigled, caught up in the mood of the room.

"Yup" the Doctor replied rapidly and unashamedly.

"Yup" Rose echoed still grinning as she was thrown backwards from the console, only preventing herself from being thrown down the main TARDIS corridor by wrapping her arm around the guardrail.

"Something's up with the TARDIS antigravs!" The Doctor mused as grabbed on to the TARDIS console screen to prevent himself being dragged away from the console. Suddenly everything in the room began to float; Rose smiled to herself as she remembered watching news reports from the space station when she was back on Earth. She gripped onto the guardrail hard as her feet made their way past her head and she found herself upside down clinging on. Across the console room Annalise was doing the same, attempting to avoid debris that was floating around.

"Two secs," the Doctor muttered, pressing several buttons resulting in different whirring noises from the TARDIS. Eventually one of his combinations must have worked because almost immediately everything fell to the floor with a thump. Annalise cried out at she landed oddly on her ankle and crumpled to the floor, Rose, who had managed to land with her knees bent, rushed to the girl as did the Doctor. Annalise had sat up by the time Rose reached her and was grimacing as the Doctor extended her leg and rotated her ankle slowly trying to assess the damage.

"Hmm, infirmary with you, need you fighting fit before we step out there." He muttered this as he scooped her into his arms and carried her through the corridors back to the room she had spent almost all her time in since coming aboard the TARDIS. Rose followed slowly, contemplating the change she had seen in the girl in the past few days. She sighed, that poor little girl had gone through so much and they were taking her right back into the heart of it all, who knew what was going to happen.

As she entered the infirmary she heard the Doctor and Annalise chatting away, she smiled as she heard him tell her how he would show her the stars once they had sorted out this mess. The girl's face lit up and her grin threatened to split her face in half.

"Can- well, could, I mean could we please go and see where you are both from?" She asked timidly. "I want to know what sort of people I'm from, then perhaps, I don't know after a little bit of travelling, maybe I could, I don't know stay there.."

The speech sounded well rehearsed and Rose wondered whether this had been what the girl was thinking about before the gravity had disappeared in the console room. The Doctor's face fell slightly, and Annalise shrank back slightly, Rose could almost visibly see the girl deflate in front of her eyes. The small piece of confidence that travelling on the TARDIS had instilled in her slowly shrinking away.

"Sure, we can go to Earth, right Doctor?" Rose said pointedly. The Doctor nodded, and smiled again.

"Right, up you get come on, ankle should be all fixed now" he chirped. Annalise stood tentatively slowly putting weight onto her ankle before smiling and turning to the Doctor.

"Thank you Doctor" she smiled. She went to step back and cried out, falling to the floor clutching her head. As she fell Rose caught sight of her eyes, the pupils and the iris were both ringed with gold. The golden light from before was threading underneath her skin. The girl writhed on the floor screaming and moaning alternatively. Rose stepped forward but was prevented by the Doctor's arm.

"Don't go any closer, it'll burn you" he muttered reaching into the inside pocket of his pinstripe suit in order to retrieve his sonic screwdriver. He fiddled with it for several seconds until he figured out the right setting and pointed it at the girl. The blue light battled with the gold for dominance in the room and Rose shielded her eyes with her hands as the light grew overwhelmingly. "Come on, come on COME ON." The Doctor exclaimed as the gold light began to out shine the blue. Annalise's screams pitched up a notch and then she was still, the gold light increased until it was seared blindingly onto Rose's eyeballs and then it was gone.
