Short chapter this time. Just to keep you guessing. =D

Hill Valley California
Marty groaned as he was abruptly pulled back to consiousness. His eyes flickered open and he sat up, wondering where or when the hell he had been dragged to. Looking around, he didn't immediately recognise where he was, so he stood up to get a better look. When his eyes fell on the time circuits, he suddenly realised he must be inside Doc's time train.
"The train?" he muttered. "Why the hell am I in the train?"
Sighing with confusion, Marty rubbed his head, opened the train's gullwing doors and stepped out. He gazed at his surroundings; nothing he could see was familiar to him. Taking a deep breath, he wandered towards the thick forest in front of him, and out of sight.
Doc slammed the door of his past self's home and breathed a sigh of relief. It had been bad enough experiencing the trauma of Clara nearly dying once. He prayed that he wouldn't have to experience it a third time.
It was only then that Doc realised something. His past self was missing! Doc had left him behind a tree when he had fainted, but he seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Great Scott! Doc's brilliantly scientific mind thought. If I don't find my past self – there is a dangerous possibility that he will get hurt. That could result in... Great Scott! I must find him, for the sake of the space-time continuum!

I didn't get many reviews on the last chapter, thanks to all those who did! Please be kind – even if you don't like my story – a review would be great. You can even flame me if you want! ;- )
