A/N: Thanks for most of the reviews. I am a bit sorry that the first chapter was a bit short but that basically was a prologue for what was to come. This chapter is a bit longer and should give you what you desire, a longer chapter with more intrigue. Yes, the title to this chapter is a rip on Les Mis. But I also really love that song. As always please review. I'll be giving out free David Tennent cookies this time. ;)

Chapter Two: On My Own…

Martha woke up with a groan. Her head felt like it had been hit with a mallet. Just once she wished she had taken some aspirin with her, but her pockets were bare. Really smart, she thought to herself. I go off on what I thought was suppose to be one trip with the Doctor, and I didn't pack anything. Really brilliant, Martha.

She looked around to find herself still in the TARDIS. "Doctor, Where are you?"

Silence, just the unearthly sounds of the TARDIS as it moved through the vortex of time and space. She struggled to get up off the floor. Didn't the Doctor say that the TARDIS had a medical area? Yes, she distinctly remembered that he had told her about the TARDIS having a medical wing. She just had troubles remembering because her head was dizzy. The Doctor had cried out something about a transmat before the light enveloped him and her, but she was still on the TARDIS and the Doctor was no where to be seen. She didn't even have time to ask him what a transmat was before everything went dark.

As she slowly got up off the floor of the TARDIS, The TARDIS let out a low moan. Martha shuddered lightly, the Doctor had told her that the TARDIS was alive and it sounded like the TARDIS was in the throws of being deeply depressed. Martha managed to stumble over to one of the walls of the TARDIS and stroked it lightly as she had seen the Doctor do countless times. The TARDIS let out what sounded slightly like a creak and a bit like a low purr. She had seen the Doctor talk to the TARDIS and call her a she. Martha found it odd but she said softly in a tone that was similar to the Doctor's, "It's all right old girl. It's all right." Martha sighed, first things first, she thought, I have got to get a dose of aspirin for my head and then I'll see if I can do anything to find the Doctor. She sighed and voiced vocally, "Where is the Doctor?" The TARDIS let out another deep sounding moan. "Okay, I take that means that he's not here. So where is he?" If only she knew how to work the TARDIS, she wouldn't be stuck heaven knows where.

She wandered quietly through the halls of the TARDIS trying to remember the directions the Doctor had given her to find the medical portion of the TARDIS. Was it a right, a left, and then another left? Or was it a right, another right, and then a left? She sighed; leave it to the Doctor to help her get lost in his own machine. She wandered around for what seemed like hours, but in actuality could only be a few minutes. She went past various rooms before she entered the medical wing and looked around. There were several beds, various shelves with an odd assortment of various medical treatments. She opened a cupboard that was marked, human and found a bottle of aspirin. However, it was marked strangely with skull and crossbones on it. She couldn't understand why a bottle of aspirin would be marked as poison. Other than the fact of that strange disturbing sign, the bottle of aspirin was correctly labeled as Martha opened the bottle and took a look at the pills inside. If she ever found the Doctor, she would have to ask him why aspirin was labeled as poison. She took a couple of the white pills out of the container and swallowed them. She suddenly felt the TARDIS as it dematerialized in a very firm landing and she wondered where she was. The Doctor had told her that he was taking her back home and Martha wandered back to the control console. "Where are we?" It felt slightly silly to be asking a question like that out loud but the Doctor always seemed to be talking to himself and when she asked him about it, he had told her that he was talking to the TARDIS. Since she was alone and had no one else to talk to, Martha supposed the only one she could voice questions and concerns to was the ship. She walked around the console and an idea struck her to touch one of the buttons. She shouldn't but the overwhelming urge to do so struck her and so she carefully touched one of the buttons and she watched as she saw on one of the TARDIS' screens a picture of what appeared to be the outside of wherever she was.

"Hmm doesn't look like Earth," Martha commented as she looked at what appeared to be a strange alien vista of some sort. Various people were walking by on a street, and a lot of them didn't look like they were human. Others looked vaguely human. Various cars went zooming by overhead and Martha gathered that she was on some sort of city planet.

"Looks like I am stuck here. Wherever here is and…." Martha shivered lightly; the thought crossed her mind that she could be stuck anyplace and anytime. A deep seated fear filled her that she might never be able to get back home and without the Doctor to help her she was could be living the rest of her life alone on a planet that wasn't her home, a complete stranger to whatever place and whatever time she was now in. She could have cried but that wouldn't have accomplished anything at all. She needed to figure out where and when she exactly was and see if there was anyway to find the Doctor, if that was possible.

She went over to the doors of the TARDIS and opened them. She took a gulp of air and stepped outside. "Okay Martha….lets get going." She closed the doors to the TARDIS and began to trudge off.
