Chapter 4

Jack growled angrily slamming his fist into the wall and sighed softly as a cup of coffee was set on the table beside him. He looked into the eyes of Ianto and shook his head this did not seem right the Doctor had saved her.

"Damnit" He sighed softly as Ianto pulled him close.

She groaned softly as she sat up rubbing her neck remembering her failed escape attempt.

"We must have gotten caught," She said to herself looking around "Mother…please let the doctor be alright."

She stood up the cell was different but she had managed to escape twice so it was to be expected. The door opened and she turned to face it expect an angry Jack Harkness to walk in.

"Good morning" The doctor walked in with a plate of food "Did you sleep well…"

"Wh-what…did they release you" She asked softly "I thought Torchwood had caught us."

The doctor shook his head and smiled walking over and setting the food on a table beside the bed.

"We're not in Torchwood…not anymore anyway" He said "Welcome to the TARDIS".

She quirked an eyebrow but the smell of food distracted her and she grabbed the plate her stomach rumbling loudly.

"You succeeded…we're free" She asked softly.

"Yep" He said stressing the p "Though I may have lost a friend…"

She didn't say anything deciding to dig into her meal while it was warm and the doctor laughed lightly.

"I don't know what'll fit you but I've got quite a large clothing set" He suggested "Just think it…the TARDIS changes herself for whomever is inside her…I've got some work to do…apologies to make".

She nodded as he walked out of the room leaving her to enjoy her meal thinking about everything she would do now that she was free.

"Jack I'm sorry…" The doctor said into the phone, "I couldn't just leave her with you…"

He sighed softly and rolled his eyes as he listened to Jack's ranting and raving.

"Torchwood has tortured this girl for decades" He said angrily "I know you won't…but do you really think she'll believe that…you read the damn file…you know what they were before."

He hung up the phone practically slamming it onto the receiver turning around with a deep sigh. Jack would come around he always did, he was just angry. The doctor rubbed his temples as Lori walked into the room dressed in a t-shirt and jeans. Her hair was pulled back and for the first time he noticed her ears.

"Pointed ears" He said "That's…"

"I did say humans called our language elvish…they considered us elves" She said shaking her head "We're not though…"

She looked around they really were out of Torchwood that thought made her heart soar.

"Oh doctor…I found this in the room," She said holding up a coat "I really like it…could I maybe get one that fits."

His eyes fell on the coat and he swallowed hard looking away.

"N-no…that's one of a kind…uhm…" He walked over and took the coat "It didn't belong in that room."

She looked at him noticing the pain and sadness that crept into his eyes.

"I understand…who did it belong to," She asked softly "If…if you don't mind me asking…"

"Someone" He said simply "I should probably make sure that everything else…isn't…make sure I don't still have other people's things."

He knew he would not he half suspected it was the TARDIS taking this out of Rose's old room. He still had Rose's clothes and some of Donna's she had acquired on their travels, even Martha had left a few things behind on accident.

"So uhm…let's go…I'll take you somewhere safe" She

"You would shove me out…in a place that is foreign," She asked softly.

"Oh no never that" He said with a smile "I don't shove people out…you'll leave when and if you want to."

He walked over to the controls and began to hit buttons and levers before looking at her.

"Could you press that," He asked pointing to a button "I've got to hold this down."

She nodded doing as he said immediately regretting it when she was knocked off her feet as the TARDIS lurched violently.

"D-doctor…what was that" She asked looking at him.

"I don't know…" He said looking at the monitor "Let's go…have a look."

He jogged to the door putting on his trench coat and opened it smiling widely looking back at her waving her over.

"Now come on…let's hurry" He said with a chuckle.

She shook her head standing as she walked over to him she should not believe any of this but not much could be said her race were supposed to have been legends.

"Ah now where are we…" He looked around.

"North America" She said stepping out of the TARDIS "The north end of the Rockies."

"Uh…how d'you know," He asked.

"Trees" She said pointing to the forest around them "It is my nature…well inherent power…to put it simply."

"I think I'm going to enjoy traveling with you" He said "So much new stuff...that I don't already know."

"And far too much you don't" She commented, "You know too much about my kind…"

"Except their name" He replied, "What are you?"

"Just call me an elf…like the humans," She said dropping her hair "Speaking of them…I must hide my ears."

She pulled a hair band out of her pocket and secured it around her hair the tips of her ears hiding underneath.

"Hide in plain sight" The doctor, said, "Do all elves wear headbands?"

"They did once" She said sadly "Anyway…why don't we look around."

"That's my line," He said with a light chuckle "Alright then Lori…Allons-Y."

She smiled warmly as she followed him into the forest taking a deep breath of air.

"Mother" She said softly.

He was unsure whether she was talking about the forest itself or if she was remembering her past. A light smile played across her lips as she gripped a tree branch lifting herself up into it.

"I haven't been in a tree in ages," She said chuckling "Oh…I am sorry…I am being rude…"

She dropped down to the ground again looking at him with a smile and he chuckled before starting to walk again. Lori was in much better spirits than she had been since being trapped in Torchwood that meant they were.

So here you go chapter 4 read and review...tell meh what ya think.
