Home, the long way around

by littlesimmer2

Maddison is walking around into a new town named Leadworth as she was away from her old home. After she knew that she was adopted. She just packed her suitcase and left a note as she ran away to a new town. Then on that day she met the Doctor, Amy and Rory. Of course with aliens and saving the world. Then 2 years later He's back and she agreed to go with him as well as Amy.

6. Flesh and Stone

Everyone was scattered on the ground, struggling to stand up, aftermath of the jump.

"Up!" The Doctor shouted, getting up and helped Maddison getting up as well. "Look up!"

"You okay?" River asked, helping Amy up.

"What happened?" Amy asked confused.

"We jumped."

"Jumped where?"

"Up, up, look up!" The Doctor repeated.

"Where are we?"

"Exactly where we were."

"No we're not."

"Move your feet!" The Doctor soniced an indentation on the floor.

"Doctor, what am I looking at, explain." Amy demanded.

"Oh, come on. Amy, think!" He stood up. "The ship crashed with the power still on, yeah? So what else is still on? The artificial gravity." He minded jumping. "One good jump, and up we fell. Shot out the grav-globe to give us an updraft, and here we are!"

"Doctor." Octavian told to the Doctor, tightly. "The statues, they look more like Angels now."

"They're feeding on the radiation from the wreckage, draining all the power from the ship, restoring themselves. Within an hour, they'll be an army!" The Doctor continued sonicing. "They're taking out the lights." The indentation opened up to reveal the inside of the ship just as then the lights flickered. "Look at them, look at the Angels. Into the ship, now, quickly all of you!" Then he jumped first in the inside of the ship.

"But how?" Amy called. "Doctor!"

"Oh, brilliant." Maddison breathed as she looked at the Doctor, standing inside of the ship.

"It's just a corridor. The gravity orientates to the floor." The Doctor explained it to Amy as then he called to all of them. "Now, in here, all of you. Don't take your eyes off the Angels. Move, move, move!" Then he started sonicing the control panel.

Maddison, Amy and River jumped first as then Octavian ordered his men. "Okay, men, go, go, go!" they jumped inside ship as well. "The Angels. Presumably they can jump up too?"

The door sealed behind them.

"They're here. Now. In the dark, we're finished. Run!" The Doctor shouted at then a large door, behind them all closed, blocking their way to escape.

"This whole place is a death trap." Octavian shouted.

"No, it's a time bomb. Well, it's a death trap and a time bomb. And now it's a dead end." The Doctor rambled as the door began to spark and sharp holes poked through as the Angels were breaking in. "Nobody panic." He looked at them all as Maddison looked back at him and give him look 'well duh'. She rolled with her eyes. "Oh. Just me then."

"What's through here?" Maddison asked.

"Secondary flight deck." River replied to her.

"Okay. So we've basically run up the inside of a chimney, yeah?" Amy asked as then River opened a panel beside her and started to wires the controls. "So what if the gravity fails?"

"I've thought about that."

"And?"

"And we'll all plunge to our deaths. See. I've thought about it."

Maddison looked at him. "Oh, goodie."

"The security protocols are still live." The Doctor soniced another panel. "There's no way to override them, it's impossible."

"How impossible?" River and Maddison asked almost on the same time. River continued working.

"Two minutes." The Doctor replied flatly as he looked at them.

The lights are started to going to dim as the outer door opened. They all stared in fear and alarm, Maddison moved closer to the Doctor, Amy just stared at it as Octavian said firmly. "The hull is breached and the power's failing."

The lights went out for an instant and an Angels arm is seeing by the door. "Sir!" One of the clerics shouted. "Incoming!"

"Doctor!" Amy shouted in fear. "Lights."

The Doctor rushed over to River, sonicing a panel. Then the lights came back on again. They could see Angels making its way inside. The lights flickered again as then now four Angels were inside with them. "Clerics, keep watching them." Octavian ordered.

"And don't look at their eyes." Maddie shouted at the men. "Anywhere else. Not the eyes."

The Doctor still sonicing the wires as he muttered. "I've isolated the lighting grid. They can't drain the power now."

Then the Doctor was done as he walked back to Maddison as Octavian praised him. "Good work, Doctor."

"Yes. Good." The Doctor rambled. "Good in many ways, good you like it so far."

"So far?" Octavian frowned.

"Well, there's only one way to open this door. I guess I'll need to route all the power in this section through the door control."

"Good, fine, do it."

"Including the lights. All of them. I'll need to turn out the lights."

"How long for?"

"Fraction of a second. Maybe longer. Maybe quite a bit longer."

"Maybe?"

"I'm guessing." The Doctor let out his frustration. "We're being attacked by statues in a crashed ship, there isn't a manual for this!" He walked to the door, sonicing.

"Doctor, we lost the torches." Amy told to the Doctor, sounding afraid. "We'll be in total darkness."

"No other way." The Doctor sighed. "Bishop?"

"Dr. Song, I've lost good Clerics today." Octavian asked to River. "You trust this man?"

"I absolutely trust him." River replied to him.

"He's not some kind of madman then?"

"I absolutely trust him."

"Excuse me." The Doctor went back to the panel and started working on it.

"I'm taking your word, because you're the only one who can manage this guy." Octavian confronts River. "But that only works so long as he doesn't know who you are. You cost me any more men, and I might just tell him. Understood?"

"Understood." River replied to him, sounding a little scoffed.

"Okay." Octavian said to the Doctor. "Doctor, we've got your back."

"Bless you." The Doctor told to him as Maddison and Amy were helping him to get the door wired up, from the panel. "Bishop."

"Combat distance, ten feet. As soon as the lights go down, continuous fire." Octavian told to his men. "Full spread over the hostiles. Do not stop firing while the lights are out. Shot gun protocol, we don't have bullets to waste."

The Doctor moved Amy and Maddie to over a wheel on the door. "Amy, Maddie, when the lights go down, the wheel should release. Spin it clockwise, four turns."

"Ten." Amy suddenly said.

"No, four, four turns." The Doctor looked at her.

"Yeah, four, I heard you." Amy nodded to him.

"Ready!" The Doctor called, placing his sonic into the panel.

"On my count then." Octavian swallowed. "God be with us all. Three… two… one!" The lights went out. "Fire!"

"Turn!" The Doctor shouted as the girls were turning the wheel.

"Its opening, it's working." Amy shouted to them all.

Then the door was open enough, the Doctor shouted. "Fall back!"

The girls went first to get through, followed by the clerics. Then Octavian and the Doctor went the door. They quickly moved another door as the Doctor opened the panel and started to sonic it. Then the others slipped through as then Amy shouted. "Doctor, quickly."

"Doctor!" River also shouted.

Then the Doctor stopped sonicing as then he also slipped through.

~00~

They ran into the room, seeing the flight deck in a disrepair state. Wires were laying everywhere. The Doctor rushed over to one of the controls, River the over. Then the wheel on the door started to spin as Amy shouted to the doctor. "Doctor!" But he didn't looked up to her as then Octavian walked to the door and placed at device on it. Amy asked to him. "What are you doing?"

"Magnetized the door." Octavian told to them. "Nothing could turn that wheel now."

"Yeah?" The Doctor glanced up as the door wheel was now turning slowly.

"Dear God!" Octavian exclaimed.

"Ah, now you're getting it!" The Doctor said to him. "You've bought us time though, that's good. I am good with time."

"Doctor!" Amy shouted again as another wheel from the door started to spin.

"Seal that door." Octavian ordered. "Seal it now!" One of his men put a device on the door.

"We're surrounded!" River looked at the third door as it started also to spin.

"Seal it, seal that door." Octavian ordered as then another of his men put a device on the door. Then he looked at the Doctor. "Doctor, how long have we got?"

"Five minutes, max." The Doctor replied to him.

"Nine." Amy muttered.

The Doctor looked at Amy. "Five." Then Maddison looked at her as well, frowning.

"Five, right yeah." Amy nodded.

"Why did you say nine?" The Doctor frowned.

"I didn't." Amy shook with her head.

"We need another way out of here." River cut in.

"There isn't one." Octavian looked around.

"Yeah, there is, course there is." The Doctor countered. "This is a galaxy class ship, goes for years between planet-falls." He snapped with fingers. "So what do they need?"

"Oh." Maddison looked at the Doctor smiling, understanding what he meant.

"Of course." River gasped, also understanding.

"Of course, what?" Amy asked confused. "What do they need?"

"Can we get in there?" Octavian interrupted.

"Well, it's a sealed unit, but they must have installed it somehow." The Doctor looked at the wall. "This whole wall should slide up. There's clamps." He soniced the clamps. "Release the clamps!"

"What's through there?" Amy asked confused. "What do they need?"

"They need to breathe." River replied to her. The wall went up as the Doctor looked at it.

"But that's…" Amy blinked at what she is seeing. "That's a…"

"Beautiful." Maddison breathed. "I love forests."

"It's an oxygen factory." River looked at the forest-looking area just beyond the wall.

"It's a forest." Amy looked at it as well.

"Yeah, it's a forest, it's an oxygen factory." River retorted.

"And if we're lucky, an escape route." The Doctor added.

Amy looked in wonder, still. "Eight."

"What did you say?" Maddison frowned.

"Nothing." Amy waved it off.

"Is there another exit?" The Doctor looked over to Octavian. "Scan the architecture, we don't have time to get lost in there."

"On it!" Octavian walked into the forest. "Stay where you are until I've checked the Rad levels."

"But trees!" Amy exclaimed. "On a space ship?"

"Oh, more than trees, way better than trees. You're going to love this." The Doctor at a tree and opened little door that was on the trees, revealing wires. "Treeborgs. Trees plus technology. Branches become cables. Become sensors on the hull. A forest sucking in starlight. Breathing out air." He looked around. "It even rains. There's a whole mini-climate. It is an eco-pod running through the heart of the ship. A forest in a bottle, on a space ship, in a maze. Have I impressed you yet, Amy Pond? Maddie Turner?" Then he looked back at the girls.

Amy laughed. "Seven."

"Seven?" The Doctor walked back to them.

"Sorry, what?" Amy asked confused.

"You said seven." Maddison replied to her as she stood next to her.

"No. I didn't." Amy countered.

"Yes. You did." River cut in, sounding a little concerned as the Doctor looked at Amy.

"Doctor!" Octavian reported back. "There's an exit, far end of the ship, into the Primary Flight Deck."

"That's where we need to go." The Doctor turned to look at man as then he turned to Amy, staring at her.

"Plotting a safe path." Octavian told to him, then turning back to his scans.

"Quick as you like!" The Doctor called as he was still looking at Amy.

"Doctor?" 'Bob' said over the comm. "Excuse me. Hello, Doctor? Angel Bob here, sir."

"Ah. There you are, Angel Bob." The Doctor sat down on a chair. "How's life? Sorry, bad subject."

"The Angels are wondering what you hope to achieve."

"We're just hanging. It's nice in here, consoles, comfy chairs, a forest. How's things with you?"

"The Angels are feasting, sir. Soon we will be able to absorb enough power to consume this vessel. This world. And all the stars and worlds beyond."

"Well, we've got comfy chairs, did I mention?"

"We have no need of comfy chairs."

"I made him say comfy chairs!"

Amy laughs. "Six."

"Enough chat." The Doctor stood up. "What have you done to Amy?"

"There is something in her eye." 'Bob' replied to him.

"What's in her eye?" The Doctor demanded.

"We are." 'Bob' replied, darkly.

"What's he talking about? Doctor, I'm five." Amy realized what she was saying. "I mean, five. Fine! I'm fine."

"You're counting." River told to her.

Maddison looked at her. "Counting backwards, from ten." She trying not to think about her headache that was coming back. She knew that the doctor could feel her, but she wasn't sure if he felt her now.

"Counting?" Amy asked in a small voice.

"You're counting down." The Doctor glanced to Maddison. "From ten. You have been for a few minutes."

"Why?" Amy looked at him.

"I don't know."

"Well, counting down to what?"

"I don't know."

"We shall take her." 'Bob' said over the comm as Maddison shivered at the thought. "We shall take all of you. We shall have dominion over all time and space."

"Get a life, Bob." The Doctor told to him, over the comm. "Oops, sorry again. There's power on this ship, but nowhere near that much."

"With respect, sir." 'Bob' said to him over the comm. "There is more power on this ship than you yet understand."

Then suddenly they hear a loud screeching noise. "Dear God, what is it?" River looked around her.

"They're back." Octavian warned.

'Bob' explained. "It's hard to put in your terms, Dr. Song. But as best I understand it, the Angels are laughing."

"Laughing?" The Doctor asked, confused.

"Because you haven't noticed yet." 'Bob' mocked him. "The Doctor in the TARDIS hasn't noticed."

"Doctor!" Octavian warned him.

"No, wait, there's something I've…" The Doctor turned around and looked at the wall. "Missed." He moved towards to it.

"That's…" Amy breathed. "That's like the crack from my bedroom wall from when I was a little girl."

"Yes." The Doctor agreed, still looking at the wall.

"Okay, enough, we're moving out!" Octavian ordered.

"Agreed." River turned to face him. "Doctor?"

"Yeah. Fine!" He waved them off as then he used his sonic.

"What are you doing?"

"Right with you."

"We're not leaving without you!'

"Oh. Yes you are. Bishop?"

"Miss Pond, Miss Turner, Dr. Song, now!" Octavian ordered the girls.

"Doctor, come on!" Amy shouted at him as then run away from there, leaving the Doctor behind.

~00~

They were walking throughout the forest as Maddison could feel the Doctor, he is very afraid, whatever is happening that made him feel afraid. Maddison eyes widened, there were Angels everywhere, she is even afraid of them. Well, everyone is afraid of the Angels. Then she looked over to Amy, who looked awful. She also looked at the Angels eyes. Somehow it was linked that she have headaches and Amy counting down from ten.

Suddenly River looked behind her as she looked at the both of them. "Amy? Mads? What's wrong?" then, when they didn't answer she asked again. "Amy, Mads, what's wrong?"

"Four." Amy blurted it out as then she laid down on mossy rock.

"Headache." Maddison put her hand on her head. She let herself down on the ground close to Amy.

"Med-scanners, now!" River ordered as then one of Octavian's men gave it to her. Then she put the med-scanners on the girls, their arms.

"Dr. Song, we can't stay here, we've got to keep moving." Octavian warned her.

"We wait for the Doctor." River insisted.

"Our mission is to make this wreckage safe." Octavian hissed at her. "And neutralize the Angels. Until that is achieved…"

River interrupted him. "Father Octavian, when the Doctor is in the room, your only mission is to keep him alive long enough to get everyone else home. And trust me. It's not easy. If he's dead back there, I'll never forgive myself. And if he's alive, I'll never forgive him." Then she asked, without looked looking behind her. "And, Doctor, you're standing right behind me, aren't you?"

"Oh, yeah." The Doctor replied to her.

River turned to face him. "I hate you!"

"You don't." He said to her as then he looked at Octavian. "Bishop, the Angels are in the forest."

"We need visual contact on every line of approach." Octavian ordered his men.

"How did you get past them?" River asked to the Doctor as he came to sit next to Maddison, he is looking worried.

"I told them the crack in the wall was the end of the universe." The Doctor replied to her.

"What was it?" Amy asked.

"The end of the universe." The Doctor deadpanned. "Let's have a look then." Then he looked at scanners from Maddison and Amy.

"So, what's wrong with us?" Amy asked.

"Nothing. You two fine." River replied, laying to her.

"Everything, you two dying." The Doctor told the truth to them.

"Doctor!" River scolded him.

"Yes, you're right, if we lie to them, they'll get all better!" The Doctor stood up. "Right. Amy! Maddie! What's the matter with Amelia? Maddison? Something's in their eyes. What does that mean?"

"Angels." Maddison whimpered from her pain in her head. Then he looked at her.

"Doctor." Amy called to him.

"Busy."

"Scared!"

"Course, you two are dying, shut up!"

"Okay, let him think." River told to Amy.

"She stared at the Angel, she looked into the eyes of an angel for too long." The Doctor thought out loud.

"Sir! Angel, incoming!" One of Octavian's men called.

"And here." Another man of Octavian's men called.

"Keep visual contact, do not let it move!" Octavian ordered.

"Come on, come on, wakey, wakey!" The Doctor walking back and forwards. "She watched an Angel climb out of the screen. And… And…"

"The image of an Angel is an Angel." Amy finished.

"Angel in mind." Maddison told to him.

"A living image in a human mind." The Doctor still thought out loud. "We stare at them to stop them getting closer, we don't blink. And that's what they want, cos if our eyes are open, they can climb inside. There's an Angel in their minds."

"Three." Amy whimpered. "Doctor, it's coming. I can feel it. We are going to die!"

"Please just shut up, I'm thinking. Now counting, what's that about?" The Doctor spoke over the comm. "Bob, why are they making her count?"

"To make her afraid, sir."

"Okay, but why. What for?"

"For fun, sir."

"Aargh!" The Doctor throws the device away.

"Doctor, what's happening to us?" Amy asked. "Explain!"

"Inside you two heads, in the vision centers of you two brains there's an Angel. It's like there's a virtual screen inside you two minds. And the Angel is climbing out of it, and it's coming to shut you two off." The Doctor explained it to her.

"Then what do we do?" Amy asked.

"If it was a real screen we'd pull the plug. But we can't just knock them out, the Angel would take over!"

"Then what? Quickly!"

"We've got to pull the plug. Starve the Angel."

"Doctor, they got seconds."

"How would you starve your lungs?"

"I'd stop breathing."

"Amy, Maddie, close your eyes!"

"No, no, I don't want to." Amy whimpered as Maddie closed her eyes. The scanner is beeping normal as she is already normalizing.

"Maddie is normalizing." River called.

"Good, because that's not you, that's the Angel, it's afraid!" The Doctor focused on Amy. "Do it! Close your eyes!" Amy looked at him as he nodded to her, she closed her eyes as well.

The scanner is beeping normal. "She's normalizing." River told to him. "You did it! You did it!"

"Sir? Two more incoming." One of Octavian's men called.

"Three more over here." Another man of Octavian's men called.

River removed the med-scanners from Maddison and Amy. "Still weak, dangerous to move them."

"Can we open our eyes now?" Amy asked.

"No, we can't." Maddison replied to her.

"Maddie is right Amy." The Doctor replied to Amy. "If you open your eyes now for more than a second, you will die. The Angel is still inside you. We haven't stopped it, we've just sort of paused it. You've used up your countdown. You cannot open your eyes."

"Doctor, we're too exposed here. We have to move on." Octavian warned him.

"We're exposed everywhere, and Amy, Maddie can't move, and that's not the plan." The Doctor snapped at him.

"There's a plan?" River asked to him.

"I don't know yet. Right! Father, you and your Clerics will stay here, look after Amy. If anything happens to her. I'll hold you personally responsible, twice." The Doctor told to them all. "River. You and me. We're going to find the Primary Flight Deck which is… straight ahead. We'll stabilize the wreckage. Stop the Angels, and cure Amy and Maddie."

"How?"

"I'll do a thing."

"What thing?"

"It's a thing in progress, respect the thing. Moving out!"

"Doctor, I'm coming with you." Octavian told to him. "My Clerics can look after Miss Pond and Miss Turner. These are my best men, they'd lay down their lives in their protection."

"I don't need you." The Doctor told to him, flatly.

"I don't care. Where Dr. Song goes, I go." Octavian told to him, in the same tone.

"What? You two engaged or something?"

"Yes. In a manner of speaking. Marco, you're in charge till I get back."

"Sir!"

"Doctor. Please. Can't I come with you?" Amy asked for herself as Maddison understand that they needed to stay where they are.

"You'd slow us down, Miss Pond." Octavian replied to her.

"I don't want to sound selfish. But you'd really speed me up." Amy told to the man.

"You'll be safer here." The Doctor told to Amy. "We can't protect you on the move. I'll be back for you soon as I can. I promise."

"You always say that." Amy scoffed.

"I always come back. Good luck everyone." The Doctor told to Octavian's men. "Behave, do not let the girls open their eyes. And keep watching the forest. Stop those Angels advancing. Amy, Maddie, later! River, going to need your computer." Then he walked away from there.

"Yeah. Later." Amy muttered.

Then a future Doctor came to them as they didn't know about it yet. He saw Maddison first. He walked towards her as he put his hands on her, she jumped a little, then the Doctor spoke to her. "Calm down, Mads. Nothing is wrong, is just only me."

"But you just left with the others." Maddison told him confused. "And since when do you call me Mads?"

"Nothing gets past you, Maddie." The Doctor told to her softly.

"But, what's wrong, I can't feel you." Maddie nearly whispered.

He looked at her softly, but she couldn't see him. The Doctor sighed. "Nothing is wrong." Then he kissed her, then he pulled away and went over to Amy.

Maddison sat there confused of what had happened.

The future Doctor grabbed Amy hands as he talked to her. "Amy. You need to start trusting me. It's never been more important."

"But you don't always tell me the truth."

"If I always told you the truth. I wouldn't need you to trust me."

"Doctor, the crack in my wall. How can it be here?"

"I don't know yet, but I'm working it out. Now, listen. Remember what I told you when you were seven?"

"What did you tell me?"

"No, no… That's not the point. You have to remember." The Doctor kissed on her forehead and went away from there.

"Remember what? Doctor? Doctor?" Amy called for him.

"Amy, the Doctor isn't here." Maddison told to Amy as she shut her mouth.

~00~

The girls were still sitting as the clerics were watched the forest.

"So, what's happening? Anything happening out there?" Amy asked to them.

"The Angels are still grouping." Marco replied as then he glanced at one of the men. "Are you getting this too?"

"The trees?"

"What's wrong with the trees?"

"Here too, sir."

"They're ripping the Treeborgs apart."

"And here. They're taking out the lights."

"What is it? What's happening?" Amy asked to them. "Tell us. Maddie and I can't see."

"It's the trees. ma'am. The trees are going out." Marco replied to her.

"Angels advancing, sir."

"Over here, again."

"Weapons primed." Marco ordered. "Combat distance five feet. Wait for it!"

"What is it? What's happening?" Maddison asked to them.

"Keep your position and, ma'am, keep your eyes shut! Wait!" Suddenly there was a bight light. "The ship's not on fire. Is it?" Marco asked.

"It can't be. The compressors would have taken care of it. Marco. The Angels have gone. Where'd they go?"

"What. The Angels?" Amy asked.

"This side's clear too, sir."

"The Angels have gone?" Maddison asked.

"There's still movement out there. But away from us now. It's like they're running." Marco replied as he still watching the forest.

"Running from what?" Amy asked.

"Phillip. Crispin. Need to get a closer look at that." Marco ordered as he had turned to see the bright light.

"What are you all looking at? What's there?" Maddison asked to them.

"It's like, I don't know a curtain of energy. Sort of shifting. Makes you feel weird. Sick." Marco replied to Maddison.

"And you think it scared the Angels?" Amy asked as then she was moving.

"What could scare those things?"

"What are you doing?" Marco asked to her.

"Point me at the light." Amy replied to him.

"You can't open your eyes."

"Not for more than a second, that's what the Doctor said. Still got a bit of countdown left."

"Ma'am. You can't."

"I need to see it. Am I looking the right way? I have to be quick."

"Very quick!"

"Okay." Amy told to herself as then she opened her eyes. Maddison held her eyes closed as she listened to them. "It's the same shape! It's the crack in my wall."

"Close your eyes. Now!" Marco warned her.

"It's following me! How can it be following me?" Amy asked in shock as then Marco closed her eyes for her.

"Are you okay?" Maddison asked to her friend.

"Yeah." Amy replied to her. "It was the same shape!"

"Marco. You want me to get a closer look at that?" The Cleric asked to Marco.

"Go for it. Don't get too close." Marco replied to him as the Cleric walked to bright light.

"Hang on. What about the other two? Why not just wait till they're back?" Amy asked to him.

"What other two?" Marco asked confused.

"The ones you sent before." Maddie replied this time.

"I didn't send anyone before." Marco told to them.

"You did. I heard you. Crispin and Phillip." Amy told to him.

"Crispin and who?" Marco looked at them confused. "Amy, Maddison, there never was a Crispin or a Phillip on this mission, I promise you."

"No, we heard you." Maddison told to him. "Before you sent Pedro, you sent Crispin and Phillip. And now you can't even remember them." Marco just looked confused at the girl. "Something happened. I don't know what, and you don't even remember!"

"Pedro?" Marco asked confused.

"Yeah, before you sent Pedro." Amy cut in.

"Who's Pedro?" Marco asked, now more confused than before.

"Something's happening! Pedro was here a second ago and now you can't even remember him!" Maddison replied to him.

"There never was a Pedro. There's only ever been the three of us here!" Marco insisted.

"No, there were six of us. Why can't you remember?" Amy asked to him.

"Listen. Listen. I need to get a closer look at that light." Marco pointed at the light as the girls couldn't see, so it wasn't necessary to do that. "Whatever it is. Don't worry. I won't get too close."

"No, you can't." Maddison told him.

"You mustn't." Amy warned him.

"Here." Marco gave a communicator to Amy. "Spare communicator. I'll stay in touch the whole time."

"You won't." Maddison warned him. "If you go back there what happened to the others will happen to you!"

"There weren't any others!" Marco insisted.

"There won't be any YOU if you go back there." Maddison continued to warn him.

"Two minutes. I promise." Marco told to them as he stood up and walked away from them.

"Please. Just listen to us!" Maddison shouted after the man.

"Hello. Are you there? Hello? Hello?" Amy told to the comm.

"I'm here. I'm fine. I'm quite close to it now." Marco replied to her over the comm.

"Then come back! Come back now. Please." Maddison told to him as she sat close to Amy.

"It's weird looking at it. It feels really…" Marco disappeared as the comm makes a noise.

"Really what? Hello? Really what? Hello? Hello?!" Maddison asked.

Then Amy took over. "Hello? Please say you're there. Hello? Hello!"

Then the Doctor cam over the comm. "Amy? Maddison? Is that you two?"

"Doctor? Where are you?" Amy asked as Maddison felt relieved to hear a familiar voice.

"Are the Clerics with you two?" The Doctor asked back.

"They've gone." Maddison replied to the Doctor. "There was a light and they walked into the light. Doctor. They didn't even remember each other."

"No. They wouldn't." The Doctor told to them.

"What is that light?" They heard River ask.

"Time running out." The Doctor replied to her as them he turned his attention to the girls. "Amy. Maddie. I'm sorry. I should never have left you two there."

"Well, what do we do now?" Amy asked to him.

"You two come to us. Primary Flight Deck. Other end of the forest." The Doctor replied over the comm.

"We can't see! We can't open our eyes." Amy exclaimed.

"Turn on the spot." The Doctor instructed to them.

"Sorry. What?" Amy asked confused.

"Just do it. Turn on the spot. When the communicator sounds like my screwdriver." The Doctor told to them as they turned on the spot, the communicator sounding like his screwdriver. "You two are facing the right way. Follow the sound. You have to start moving now. There's time energy spilling out of that crack and you have to stay ahead of it."

"Got it." Maddison told to Doctor.

"But the Angels. They're everywhere." Amy exclaimed.

"I'm sorry. I really am." The Doctor told to them over the comm. "But the Angels can only kill you two."

"What does the Time Energy do?" Amy asked.

"I want to know about that too." Maddison cut in.

"Just keep moving!" The Doctor insisted to them.

"Tell us!" Amy insisted as well.

"If the Time Energy catches up with you two. You two will never have been born. It will erase every moment of you two existence. You two will never have lived at all." The Doctor explained it to them. "Now. Keep you two eyes shut and keep moving!"

"It's never going to work." River said as the girls could hear them.

"What else have you got?" River jumped a little as she hear the anger in the Doctor's voice. "River, tell me!"

~00~

The girls were walking throughout the forest as then they hear River asking. "What's that?"

"The Angels. Running from the fire. They came here to feed on the time energy. Now it's going to feed on them." The Doctor explained "Amy, Maddie, listen to me. I'm sending a bit of software to you two communicator. It's a proximity detector. It'll beep if there's something in you two way. You two just maneuver till the beeping stops. Because. Amy, Maddie. This is important. The forest is full of Angels. You two are going to have to walk like you two can see." Amy and Maddison were now walking, holding hands, because they are very afraid.

"Well, what do you mean?" Amy asked to the Doctor.

"Look, just keep moving." The Doctor ignored her question. The girls walked again.

"That time energy. What's it going to do?" River asked to the Doctor as the girls could hear them.

"Er, keep eating." The Doctor replied to her.

"How do we stop it?"

"Feed it."

"Feed it what?"

"A big complicated space-time event. Should shut it up for a while."

"Like what, for instance?"

"Like me. For instance!"

"What's that?" Maddison asked to the Doctor.

"It's a warning. There are Angels round you two now." The Doctor explained it to them. "Amy, Maddie, listen to me. This is going to be hard but I know you two can do it. The Angels are scared and running. Right now they're not that interested in you two. They'll assume you two can see them and their instincts will kick in. All you two have got to do is walk like you can see. Just don't open you two eyes. Walk like you two can see. You two are not moving. You two have to do this." The Doctor rammed on the edge from the controller. "Now. You two have to do this!"

Then they started to move again, only to find them falling on the ground. Amy dropped the comm and searched for it. "Doctor! I can't find the communicator! I dropped it! I can't find it."

"Doctor! Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!" They both cried out as then they stood up, not realizing that they were face to face with an Angel, before River grabbed then both and teleported them all away from there.

They appeared in the flight deck. "Don't open your eyes. You two are on the Flight Deck, the Doctor's here. I teleported you two." River looked at the Doctor. "See? Told you I could get it working."

"River Song. I could bloody kiss you." The Doctor told her while he is busy with the flipping switches.

"Ah well, maybe someone else will." River said as she pointed to Maddison as the Doctor looked confused at her. Maddison blushed at what River told them.

Then suddenly an alarm buzzer blares around the flight deck.

"What's that?" Maddison asked as her and Amy's eyes were still closed.

"The Angels are draining the last of the ship's power. Which means the shield's going to release!" The Doctor waked to the shield from the light deck. "Angel Bob. I presume." He looked at the Angel with the comm.

"The Time Field is coming. It will destroy our reality." 'Bob' told him.

"And look at you. All running away. What can I do for you?"

"There is a rupture in time. The Angels calculate that if you throw yourself into it. It will close. And they will be saved."

"Yeah, yeah, could do, could do that. But why?"

"Your friends would also be saved."

"Well, there is that."

"I've travelled in time." River looked at the Doctor. "I'm a complicated space/time event too. Throw me in."

"Oh, be serious! These Angels are more complicated than you. And it would take every one of them to amount to me. So get a grip." The Doctor told her.

"Doctor. I can't let you do this."

"No. seriously. Get a grip." Maddison already knows what's he doing, but she couldn't see what she doing. The Doctor walked up to her as River interrupted.

"You're not going to die here!"

"No. I mean it. River. Amy. Get a grip." The Doctor placed Maddison by the consoles.

"Oh, you genius!" Finally it clicked in Rivers mind.

"Sir, the Angels need you to sacrifice yourself now. Thing is. Bob, the Angels are draining all the power from this ship. Every last bit of it. And you know what? I think they've forgotten where they're standing. I think they've forgotten the gravity of the situation. Or to put it another way. Angels…" The Doctor told then as the screen blared the warning, Gravity failing.

"You hold on tight and don't you let go for anything." River told to Amy as she had placed her on the consoles as well.

"Night-night." The Doctor and River grabbed the consoles as well.

The angels is getting sucked up in the vortex as they hold on tight.

~00~

Amy sat with a blanket all around her as Maddison stood next the Doctor. They were on the beach away from the maze of the dead.

"Ah. Bruised everywhere." Amy complained.

"Me too." The Doctor told her.

"Me three." Maddison looked at them.

"You didn't have to climb out with your eyes shut." Amy complained to them.

"I felt the Angel leave, so I could open my eyes." Maddison explained.

The Doctor nodded to Maddison as then he looked at Amy while he explained. "Neither did you. I kept saying. The Angels all fell into the time field. The Angel in your memory never existed. It can't harm you now."

"Then why do we remember it at all?" Amy looked at the Doctor. "Those guys on the ship didn't remember each other."

"You two are time travelers now, Amy, Maddie. Changes the way you two see the universe. Forever. Good, isn't it?" The Doctor smiled at them.

"Yeah." Maddison looked at the Doctor.

"And the crack. Is that gone too?" Amy asked to the Doctor.

"Yeah. For now. But the explosion that caused it is still happening somewhere out there. Somewhere in time." The Doctor replied to her.

Then the Doctor walked to River as she teased him. "You. Me. Handcuffs. Must it always end this way?"

"What now?" He asked to her.

"The prison ship's in orbit. They'll beam me up any second. I might have done enough to earn a pardon this time. We'll see." River replied to him.

"Octavian said you killed a man."

"Yes. I did."

"A good man."

"A very good man. The best man I've ever known."

"Who?"

"It's a long story. Doctor. Can't be told. It has to be lived. No sneak previews. Well, except for this one. You'll see me again quite soon. When the Pandorica opens."

"The Pandorica. Ha! That's a fairy tale."

"Oh. Doctor, aren't we all? I'll see you there."

"I look forward to it."

"I remember it well."

Then the girls walked to them as they chorused. "Bye. River."

"See you. Amy. Maddie." Then something beeped. "Oh! I think that's my ride."

"Can I trust you, River Song?" The Doctor quickly asked to her.

"If you like. But where's the fun in that?" River replied as then she disappeared in smoke.

Then Amy asked to the Doctor. "What are you thinking?"

"Time can be rewritten." He replied to her.

~00~

Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor was driving as then Amy said to him. "I want to go home."

"Okay." He told to her, setting the co-ordinates.

"No. not like that!" Amy stood up and walked to him. "I just want to show you something. You're running from River. I'm running too."

Maddison looked at them. "Well, I'm going to sleep." Without an answer back, she walked out of the console room to her bedroom in the TARDIS. She was asleep in no time, not knowing what happened outside of the TARDIS.
