"Doctor, what do we do?" Rory asked.
"I don't know," The Doctor replied quietly. "I need to find Aderyn. I need to find her. She could be in trouble."
"What about my wife?" Rory shouted.
"I can't help her. There is nothing I can do. I can't save her." The Doctor shouted back
"What are you on about?" River snapped. They heard the thud of footsteps above them.
"It's coming." Rita breathed. Gibbis cowered under a table.
The Doctor strode over to Amy and stood in front of her. He met her gaze "I can't save you from this. There's nothing I can do to stop this. I stole your childhood and now I've led you by the hand to your death. But the worst thing is, I knew. I knew this would happen. This is what always happens," The thudding footsteps drew nearer and soon the door was thrown open. The Doctor ignored the Minotaur. "Forget your faith in me. I took you with me because I was vain. Because I wanted to be adored. Look at you. Glorious Pond, the girl who waited for me. I'm not a hero. I really am just a mad man in a box. And it's time we saw each other as we really are. Amy Williams, it's time to stop waiting."
There was a pained snarl and the Minotaur collapsed. The hotel around them dissolved and was replaced by a hologrid.
"I am so glad that worked." River muttered.
"Rita, it's sorted. You're free to go. Do what Aderyn told you. Press the button." The Doctor ordered.
"But what is that thing? Where are we?" Rita stammered.
"Distant cousin of the Nimon. They descend on planets and set themselves up as gods to be worshipped. Which is fine, until the inhabitants get all secular and advanced enough to build bonkers prisons. This is it's prison. Fully automated. It drifts through space, snatching people with belief systems and converts their faith into food for the creature," The Doctor turned kindly to Rita "Now go. Go on. I'm sure Aderyn will find you again and explain."
Too confused and afraid to argue, Rita pressed the button and vanished. The Doctor ran over to a small control panel "Here we go. Gibbis, I can reverse the teleport that brought you here," And with that, he did. Gibbis was soon gone. The Doctor turned his attention back to the control panel "I can lock on to Aderyn's signal. We can find her." He pressed a button and the prison around them vanished. Or rather they vanished.
"Short range teleport." The Doctor said. He looked around the white room they had found themselves in. One wall was taken up by a large window. Amy looked out of it. Looking down on the empty hangar beneath them, she was struck by a wave of deja vu. "Demons Run. We're at Demons Run." She said.
