The doctor's moon

Chapter 4

The Doctor had been looking for Luna for an entire hour and had found no sign of her. He was really starting to worry. He must have made himself a personal record for the quickest time to loose an assistant. Luna had been with him for virtually five minutes and he had already lost her. He was really worried because she was packed with curiosity and could get in to trouble really easily. He had asked a couple of passers by if they had seen the brunette human but they either didn't know or refused to talk to the Doctor. Even the market stall keeper from earlier wouldn't help. However, just when he was loosing hope, he found a clue. Luna's bronze, patterned teardrop ornament was sitting half buried in the ground. He bent down and picked it up and cleaned it of sand.

"She's dropped this," He thought to himself, "That means either that she is hopeless with looking after stuff or that she has been taken."

Hoping it wasn't the latter, the Doctor headed to the TARDIS to see if he could trace her using his mostly useful machine.

Back at the castle, Ouzo was reading through his spells and potions books. Although he only wanted to use Luna's heart for his potion, he found it a bit of a waste so was looking for ways in which to use the rest of her. He had already decided how he was going to use her hair, lungs and brain. His assistant, Hugo was cleaning up the instruments that they would be using to get Luna's heart. Luna, herself, was still in the dark dungeon of room trying to think of a way out. She couldn't stand and move to the window as her legs were tied up, and even if she could, the window was too high. She was wishing that she had that gadget that she saw the Doctor use back of Earth. She forgot to ask him what it was called.

'I guess some people would be regretting leaving Earth right now,' She thought, 'But I'm happy that I managed to get a glimpse of at least one new world and meet an astonishing man before I die.'

Suddenly she hear Ouzo's loud laugh a couple of floors below her. She instantly started panicking and getting really scared.

"Forget that. Doctor, help me! Get me out of this castle!"

At the TARDIS, the Doctor was scanning the planet for Luna's DNA blip on the monitor. As he watched the screen move, he received a message on the Physic Paper. It read:

"Doctor, help me! Get me out of this castle!"

It seemed a very urgent message but who could have sent it? Only time lords and the Face of Boe would use telepathy to call him. But he was the only time lord and the Face of Boe could teleport out of a difficult situation so who sent him the message. Just then a thought came to him head. Maybe, just maybe, it was Luna. And the only Castle was the one near the market place. So it was time to kick some fuzzy butts and get the sweet Luna back.

It was nearly time for Ouzo to get his final and vital ingredient. Hugo had untied Luna's ankles and had led her to another room. He, along with two other Fustians tied her to a table. Then Ouzo brought in a large jar and a box of medical instruments. Luna tried to remain brave but was shaking all over.

"Well my dear," Ouzo started, "Your destiny is almost here, although it is a shame that I'll be cutting your pretty body up into bits."

"So why use my heart?" Luna tried to stay strong, "You could some one with a body not as ok as mine."

"Because only quality ingredients go in to a quality potion, now let's get started."

Ouzo got a stethoscope and used it to find Luna's heart. Once he had found it, he gripped an instrument and got ready to use it.

Suddenly the door slammed open, frightening Ouzo and his henchmen. Luna looked up and smiled with relief at the sight before her. The tall, slim figure of the Doctor moved towards them.

"Doctor!" Luna called.

He winked at her then turned his attention to her captors. Ouzo started to back away then started running as his henchmen tried to figure out what to do. However the Doctor showed he wasn't alone. Twenty Fustians came running through the doors and some arrested the henchmen. The others went after Ouzo, with the Doctor telling not to kill him. While they did that, the Doctor turned his attention back to Luna, still tied to the table.

"You ok?" He asked concerned.

"I'll be better once I'm free." She replied.

"Here."

Using the sonic screwdriver, he took off Luna's holds. Heroically, he then scooped her up in to his arms. It was then for a split second that Luna noticed his eyes. They were deep rich brown and appeared to hide past emotions and experiences that had influenced him.

Just then, the Fustians that went after Ouzo returned with him in their grip. As they passed, Ouzo threw the Doctor a look that was a mixture of fear, hatred and vengeance. Luna, still in the safety of the Doctor's arms, refused to look at him. She was scared of the sight of him. However one thing was puzzling her.

"Doctor, how did you get the rest of the Fustians to attack?" She asked.

"Well, I asked a local who lived in the castle," The Doctor explained, "When he told me, he asked why and I told them about you being held captive. He suddenly called the rest of the town to go after him. He was going to…"

"Use my heart for a potion to take over the universe." Luna finished for him."

With that settled, the two went back to the TARDIS leaving the fate of her captors in the hands of their species.

There, the Doctor handed Luna her gift and she found a safe place for it. They found that she had a couple of cuts on her arm so the Doctor cleaned them for her.

"What do you think they'll do to him?" She asked.

"That depends how their legal system works," He said, "They may just lock him up or execute him. Just their way"

That unnerved Luna a bit. Someone dying because of her was something she hoped won't happen to her. There was one more thing.

"How did you know where I was?" She asked.

"Well that I can only answer halfway," He answered taking out the physic paper, "This is the physic paper. Telepathic creatures can send messages to it if they need me. You did exactly that. How, I'm not sure. But I can find out by…"

The Doctor was interrupted by Luna yawning and rubbing her eye. She was tired from the excitement so went to bed with her bandaged arm. As she left the Doctor, he wondered how she, a normal human, managed to use telepathy. Time to call out one of his best skills.

Just to let you know, it may be a while before I upload chapter five because of Christmas. Thanks to everyone who had read and/or reviewed this so far, Merry Christmas!
