Chapter 14- Martha

Out of all the time travelling with the Doctor and in UNIT, I've never been locked in a cell as dark and inescapable as this. Yeah, I've been captured by aliens on many occasions. I've been scared and I've been almost killed but then, the Doctor has always been there to save me. Not that I was dependant on him- I've used my brain and kept alive, sometimes even escaped and I'd found him.

But this time was different. There were no possible exits and no Doctor to save me. I didn't believe the Doctor was truly dead. He wouldn't be caught like that. After his nine-hundred-odd years of living, he was too intelligent for that to happen.

I took my mobile from the inside of my jacket. I'd checked it earlier, still no signal. This was wrong, because the Doctor had done something to it so that I could phone anywhere throughout time and space, I'd never be out of signal. Obviously it didn't work where I was now.

"Doctor, where are you when I need you?" I muttered, knowing that no-one could hear me. The silence cushioned any sound, like ringing in my ears. I sat on the ground for a few minutes. I was tired. I needed to think about how I could escape.

Suddenly, the door slid open in front of me.

"YOU WILL STAND! STAND!" the metallic voice gave orders again, making my heart leap. Its blue eye followed my movement as I obeyed without a thought.

"You've killed the Doctor, Dalek! What else do you want from me?" I yelled.

"THE HUMAN WILL NOT QUESTION INSTRUCTIONS!"

Another Dalek approached and opened the cell next door. Could that have been Skye's cell?

"THE HUMAN FROM THIS CELL HAS ESCAPED!" the other dalek said.

My heart skipped again. She escaped? How?

"FOLLOW HER!" the first dalek instructed the other, and then turned to me. "YOU WILL WALK!" its eye moved to look behind me. Its shooter pointed directly at me. I walked ahead of it, continuously glancing around as it followed close behind me.

"What are you going to do with me?" I shouted.

"YOU WILL JOIN THE OTHER HUMANS AND WORK FOR US!"

"I'm quite happy with my usual job, thanks." I muttered. At least that gives me a chance to save more people…
