CHAPTER 19

No. Making that dash is too dangerous. You have to pull yourself together and think. You try not to let your dizziness take over. It doesn't take you too long before you realize: maybe that thing hates the sound the screwdriver makes! You've encountered aliens before where that much is true. Hastily, you take off your jacket and tie it around the button on the screwdriver, so as to let the noise last. You hear as the sonic sounds and as the creature shrieks. You hear the thump of the Doctor dropping to the ground. The next few minutes are a blur. All you can make out is yourself running towards the button and pushing it. You hear the creature shriek once more and watch as it… disappears? The screwdriver is still making that loud, loud noise, but finally you hear it stop. You assume the Doctor untied your jacket from it.

"Brilliant work!" you hear him shout. "Well done! Now let's get out of here before…" His voice suddenly becomes nothing but garbled speech to you. Your vision becomes even hazier. You can't stand anymore. Your knees buckle, and you feel yourself fall into the arms of the Doctor. Nothing he says makes any sense to you. But it sounds very concerned. You close your eyes and fall unconscious.
