Silence was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Alice looked desperately from Gwen to Rose to Empress Vora, though it hurt to look at her. Wasn't this supposed to be a "thank you" present traveling to the future? No, instead she ended up in a hell more of trouble than what she wanted… she just wanted to be back home with a nice pot of tea and her orphanage sisters and the mother of the orphanage to be with her, braiding each other's hair and telling scary ghost stories. Where she was now, well, the ghost stories had come true!

Gwen looked at the ground but Rose was looking straight at Empress Vora, a look of devastation and surprise on her face. Finally, Rose spoke. "How d'ya… how d'ya know that?" she asked.

Empress Vora smiled grimly. "I know a lot of things, Rose Tyler."

"What have you done with Jack?" Gwen demanded to know, stepping forward.

"And, and the Doctor, don't forget the Doctor, Gwen," Alice meekly said, knowing the Doctor was her only way home.

"Right! The Doctor too," Gwen snarled.

"Ooh! She's a feisty one, she is!" Empress Vora laughed gleefully. "Now, you, hand over the sonic." She waved her hand to Rose.

Rose tightened her grip. "Why?"

Empress Vora rolled her eyes in such a malicious way Alice wanted to puke. "Oh please, little girl. We Voradon are tired and sick of eating just buildings and wood and brick… we crave a much more, tasty delicacy… a kind of delicacy that we can only find on this planet in particular," she explained.

This took a while for the girls to process, but finally Alice exclaimed in horror, "Human flesh?"

Empress Vora cracked a smile, showing yellow, pointy teeth. "Why yes, Alice, very clever of you. We've tried those cat-people in the future and we always ended up with hairballs, then we tried the hybrid breeds, but they always had a very chewy kidney… but you… oh, looking at you just makes my mouth water," Empress Vora proclaimed.

"You're—you're cannibals?" confirmed Gwen.

"No, no, no. We're not eating our own species, are we? No, no, no, that would be disgusting. Think of it, like you humans eat chicken or pork or beef—we eat you," Empress Vora smirked.

"That's not fair!" Alice exclaimed. "You can't compare us humans to, to, animals!"

"I. Just. Did," cackled Empress Vora. "In fact… I think I'll have you right now as an early appetizer… 'course, the rest of the flock would be angry that I didn't share such a human, but look at you! Just skin and bones… Alice McKay, without a mother or father."

"Don't you dare mention them!" Alice cried, suddenly defensive.

"They didn't want you," Empress Vora explained. "They just dropped you off at an orphanage. They just dropped you off on the step in the pouring rain… they didn't want you, they didn't care--,"

"SHUT UP!" Alice screamed. "Just, shut up!" she grabbed the sonic screwdriver from Rose's hands and pressed a random setting and clicked the button and pointed it straight at Empress Vora.

"Alice no!" Rose screamed, trying to stop her. But it was too late. A blue light buzzed from the screwdriver and hit Empress Vora straight in the gut.

But Empress Vora was unharmed. "Ha, silly little girl, thinking a sonic probe could stop me," she laughed wickedly. She plucked the screwdriver off of the ground and snapped it in two with her bare hands.

"Anyway, let me explain something to you. Alice, do you know you had a twin sister?" she asked, cocking an evil eyebrow.

"What?" Alice whispered, turning pale as a sheet.

"Oh yes. Fraternal, of course. She was very beautiful—she had silky dark brown hair and the most beautiful gold eyes… her eyes changed color from time to time when she didn't have the proper, err, nutrition. Her name was, Bella, I believe," Empress Vora snickered. "Would you like to know what happened to her? Well, one day we Voradon attacked her little circus family, and I overtook her body!" she let out a laugh at the look of horror on Alice's face. Then Empress Vora frowned. "But, eventually some pesky man beat me… the Doctor in fact… and I had to take a new human form. Of course, I plan to get a new one… perhaps, you would like to be my host?"

Alice took one step backwards. Rose and Gwen moved in front of her. "Leave her alone," Gwen slowly said.

"Fine," Empress Vora gave in. "Then I'll have you!" and she leapt at Gwen.

Ooh! The suspense! :) Please REVIEW! Next chapter will be from XTimeGirlX!
