She collapsed on the metal grating floor. Her lungs expanded and shrunk. The Doctor leaned against the center control. Along with the rest of them he struggled to catch his breath. Emmett looked around the room with huge eyes from the chair in the middle.
"It's bigger on the inside"
"You've seen a green girl do magic, krillitanes, and time machines appear out of nowhere. How can this be a surprise?" She said when she could breathe normally.
"You have a point"
Elphaba glanced over her shoulder at The Doctor. He was turning knobs on the center control. She winced as she stood up. It ached to move her calves.
" So if the Tardis can come to us with the key, why didn't we use it during the first attack?" she said while studying him using the controls.
"I forgot about it until then" he said. He turned towards her. " But besides, the key only works about once every 24 hours"
She scowled. Her faint hope that survival would be the tiniest bit easier vanished. The Doctor pulled a lever. The engine of the Tardis roared as the floor shifted below them.
She grabbed onto the railing. "If this makes noise won't it alert the krillitanes?" Emmett said.
The Tardis waned to silence. The doctor walked away from the controls. "I set it to land where they can't hear. We'll walk to the prison cell " The Doctor said.
Elphaba looked in The Doctor's eyes and nodded. She walked through the door and into a strip of hallway tucked away from the main hall passage. The rest of the group followed behind her. She wrinkled her nose. It smelled horrible, like mold and sewage. She heard a buzzing noise. It was the sonic screwdriver.
"Can you get rid of the smell?" she said in a congested voice.
"No, I wish I could. But I'm just tracking Fiyero. He's a bit farther off than I thought he would be" The Doctor said. He walked to her side.
"Ah" she said. They spent the next two minutes in silence. She looked around the hallway to distract herself from her troubled thought. Like the one before, it was made of brick and lined with torches. It was narrower, so Emmett had to trail in front. How did The Doctor managed to fit the Tardis so perfectly there? She noticed Emmett was slightly limping. That would have to be fixed when she found some basic first aid supplies. A sigh escaped her lips.
"What species are you? I mean, now that we have the chance we might as well talk about it." She said.
-Hi, I know I've been a lot slower than I said I would be. I'll try to get out a chapter a day since it's spring break (thank goodness). For soundtrack I recommend listening to White Rabbit (Sucker Punch or Grace Potter version). Ps, Anybody else officially hate Moffat because of what he's doing to series 7? I felt sick when I saw the trailer. River used to be a good character, but since Wedding of River Song she's been horrible.
