The sound of the cloister bell woke the Master up from his nap. Marta was asleep cuddled beside him, and she woke confused at where they were. The morning sun was now overhead making the white beach shine. The smell of a fire burning in the distance along with the bell signaled trouble. It meant that he wasn't the only Time Lord on this planet, not anymore at least. Standing quickly, he brushed the sand off of his suit. Rather then running to the TARDIS though, he ran away from it, towards the smoke that was rising in the distance.

By the time he reached the small village, the whole town was ablaze. The smoke darkened the sky and the red flames stood out from the darkness as they engulfed the buildings. All around him people ran screaming for their lives, calling for their lost loved ones. The ones who were still alive at least and in the middle of it all stood him. The floppy hair and young green eyed face, gave the Doctor an innocent look, but looks were deceiving. Next to him stood his companion Rose.

Little was known about Rose Tyler before she appeared in an abandoned building one day. She was crying about the Doctor and it was assumed that he had hurt her. She was in actuality looking for him, yelling that he had left her. She was admitted to a mental ward on Earth in the 21st century. They had little knowledge of aliens at that time and it was believed the poor girl had gone insane. The Master had been called into try to help her. For a short time she had traveled with him and had seemed to be happy. The moment they met up with the Doctor for the first time she had gone to him.

"Wakey wakey," The Doctor called out with a smile.

"You didn't have to hurt these people. What did they ever do to you?" The Master asked as he walked closer. He wasn't afraid of the Doctor of all the people in the universe he knew that he could stop his once friend. The Time Lord council had tried but the Doctor was too cunning for them and had escaped.

"They were in my way." The smile faded and the eyes of the Destroyer of Worlds stared out at him.

Emma Harkness coughed as she stumbled around in the smoke. She wanted her father or her brothers at the least. She had been separated from them though as she ran from the school house. She was trying to go home, but the smoke made the once familiar village confusing. Tripping over a log, she fell hitting the ground hard and skinning her knee. Tears of pain filled her eyes and she sobbed as she pulled herself back to her feet and began limping once more.

She was almost five years old, she wasn't going to cry. She was old enough to go school now and she was a big girl. Tears rolled down her sooty cheeks though and she brushed them away with the back of her hand.

"Daddy," She called out, and received no answer in reply. Behind her she could once hear other's screaming calling out names. Though it had meant there were other's nearby, their screams had gone silent. Stumbling again she managed not to fall as she reached an old building. The building had been there for as long as she could remember and her daddy said the building was old even when her grandpa had been a child. She wasn't suppose to play in it because the building was old and she could get hurt. She wasn't playing though, opening the door she ran inside. Immediately falling through the broken floor. She screamed.

"Some one is knocking," Jack called out to the Time Lord.

"But that's impossible," The Doctor responded as he came running out, stethoscope in his hand. The TARDIS couldn't determine if anything was on the other side. She kept giving him inclusive data that meant nothing. Running to the wall he placed the bugs in his ears before pressing the scope against the wall. The voices on the other side became clearer.

"I assure you sir, I heard knocking," An unknown male voice spoke up.

"There is nothing there though, there is nothing behind that door but an old storage area. Look." Another male voice answered him. "See nothing in their, but boxes and no way in except by this door. Since you are so eager about the door though, why don't you clean the room behind it."

"It's an office of some kind," The Doctor informed them as he moved the stethoscope away from the wall.

"So there really is something on the other side," Martha said in awe as she moved closer and pressed her hand against the wall.

"The question now, is how do we open it?" Jack asked.
