Faith could feel the thick, dense, sweet mist in her lungs as she inhaled. She glanced nervously over at the doctor, a look of amazement on her face. He was watching her, a knowing smile on his lips, and a spark in his eyes. "Doctor how do you know where we're going if you're not even looking where we're going?" she teased, and his smile widened.
"I don't. They find us, not the other way around…" he whispered. Faith had still been holding the Doctor's hand and she stopped dead in her tracks, pulling him to a stop next to her.
"They? As in an alien they, coming to find us?" Faith's voice raised an octave in fear, and her eyes instantly scanned the area surrounding her, but she couldn't see anything through the cloying mist. The Doctor chuckled, and she turned her glare upon him, and his chuckle turned into a cough.
"Yes, there are aliens coming to find us, but don't worry these ones don't hate me…or at least I don't think they do…" He looked away nervously avoiding her gaze.
"You think!" Faith's voice began to rise in anger this time and she gripped His hand harder.
"Oww! Oww! Hand! Losing Circulation!" He squirmed free, rubbing his hand and looking hurt.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry! But you can't just go around telling a girl that the possibly deadly alien coming to find us may or may not hate you!" Faith whined anxiously, and then as if someone had turned off a fog machine, the mist dispersed revealing a lush green grass land, like something out of a Dr. Sues book. And sitting in the Grass about three yards away sat the fluffiest kitten Faith had ever seen… or at least she thought it was a kitten….
"Why is that kitten extremely fuzzy and purple?..."Faith asked an eyebrow arched. The doctor rolled his eyes.
"That is no 'kitten'! That is one of the most dangerous and deadliest animals in the universe!" His voice was high and shrill. Faith only laughed and moved in for a closer look, it had to be honestly one of the cutest things she had ever seen.
"Can I touch it?" she asked moving in regardless to stroke the soft fluff.
"No you bloody can't touch it!" But faiths hand was already buried deep in the fuzz, which upon her touch had turned a deep crimson color. And then it spoke.
"Doctor….we were unaware that you were bringing a friend, but I hope you would inform her."
Faith immediately drew her hand back in alarm. "Bloody HELL! What just happened, did it just speak!" but as the words left her lips she realized that wasn't exactly right. The voice had defiantly come from the small orange creature in front of her, but its mouth had never opened. She looked back at the Doctor expectantly, and sure enough he was smiling now.
"Told you it wasn't a kitten, what outrageously puffy, color changing, kittens do you know that can use telepathic communication? Faith, these are the Pukachian blood warriors."
