"Doctor, there's something you're not telling us." River said, struggling to keep up with the Doctor as he ran after Aderyn. When he turned a corner, following Aderyn, he was surprised to find a dead end.
"I scanned Aderyn as well as a few other things in this place. Aderyn is right about it getting into her head. She's somehow psychically linked to this place. I don't think she even knows," The Doctor broke into a run again, heading back the way they'd come. But again there was a dead end. "We need to find the TARDIS and get her out of here." he panted.
"Can anyone else see that?" Rory said, pointing at a door.
"It's a fire exit." Amy said.
"No, it's another room," The Doctor said, frowning at the door. "But if you see an exit, take it. I need to figure out what's going on here." The Doctor took off down the corridor again.
"River, can you see it's a fire exit?" Amy asked.
"Yes. The Doctor is right. You two should go. I'm not going to leave here until I find Aderyn." River followed the Doctor. But she couldn't find him. Every turn she took lead to another dead end. Soon she was back next to Amy and Rory.
"I think we're meant to leave." Rory said.
Aderyn had known they wouldn't do as she told them, especially the Doctor. But they could have at least stayed still. Rita, Howie and Gibbis were back in the bar. She had been annoyed to find the Doctor and the Ponds weren't there. Now she had gone looking for them. She muttered continuously to herself, grumbling about how people could be so stupid. For once she knew more about a situation then the Doctor, even though her knowledge on this matter was limited. How many times had she listened to him? Ok so she hadn't always gone where he told her, and yes she'd wondered off a few times, but never very far. She'd learnt early on not to go too far in disobeying the Doctor. The last time she'd pushed it she'd been in a library and she'd watched in horror as River had died. She was lost in her own thoughts when she heard the voice again. Once again, Madame Korvarian spoke to her.
"Tick, tock goes the clock, two years is far too long. Tick, tock goes the clock, it's the fault of River Song."
She had always assumed that the voice was just in her head. But the others had heard it. She was fed up of hearing it all. Aderyn sighed "Oh shut up." She muttered. She turned a corner and found yet another dead end. She was getting fed up with this place rearranging itself. When she went back the way she had come, there was another dead end. But a dead end that was occupied by an image of Madame Korvarian "You could be so much better then this. You have so much potential and he is stopping you from reaching it. I could help with that." Aderyn sighed and shook her head. She ducked into a room, closed her eyes so she wouldn't see what was in there and counted under her breath. When she reached ten, she opened the door again. The corridor had changed again. She had learnt this trick within a few days of coming here. She tricked the place into thinking she was staying in a room. She ran down the corridor before it had a chance to change again and collided painfully with the Doctor.
"There you are," she shouted "I told you to go back downstairs."
"I didn't think it was a good idea to leave you alone." The Doctor said.
"Where are the others? We should all head back down to the bar." Aderyn said. She picked herself up off the floor and began to walk down the corridor.
"I'm not sure," The Doctor said, running to catch up with her "I told them to go back downstairs."
Aderyn sighed "I'm going to tell you everything that is wrong with that. Firstly, you really expect Amy and River to listen. And secondly, Rory would have followed them. And thirdly, when you tell someone not to wonder off, they never listen. I'm starting to think you'll never find a travelling companion who listens. They could be anywhere."
"Or we could be right behind you." Amy said.
Aderyn jumped and spun round to see Amy, Rory and River had turned a corner and found them. Aderyn swore under her breath "Right, lets just get back downstairs before anything bad happens."
