The Madman

by emshepherd75

This is my first fic so sorry its so short: After the Doctor loses Rose he travels alone for a bit and when a Dalek ship shows up in central London he runs to help. Along the way he runs into two best friends who are eager to help no matter what dangers they face or how many times he tells them to stay put. First in Intertwined Destinies.

2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2

"Hey, who are you?" I asked the man.

"Oh. Hello again." He said with a wave. "I'm the Doctor. Just the Doctor, and you are?"he said still trying to open the doors with his metal tube thing.

"I'm Erin. What is that and why are you trying to get in there?"

"Nice to meet you, Erin. This," he said as he waved the metal thing in his hand. "Is my sonic screwdriver. As to your other question, this building is directly below the ship and I need to get up there." The door clicked and he pushed it open. "Now don't follow me," he said with a serious tone. Then he ran inside.

Naturally I followed him. I needed to find Selina and I wasn't going to miss this. The Doctor stopped running and turned around to face me. "I thought I told you not to follow me."

"My friend is in here and not answering her mobile, so I'm coming with you." I started walking ahead and the Doctor came up behind me saying, "No,no,no,no. It's too dangerous."

"So..." I said completely ignoring him. "What's going on? I mean it's got to be aliens, but what kind, and you, how do you know about..."

The Doctor put his finger to his lips signaling me to be quiet. Something was coming. We hid in a nearby closet and we waited. A weird figure passed in front of the door. Its hard to describe, but I'll try. It looked kinda like an upside down cup with two plungers and a whisk sticking out of it. The Doctor seemed nervous as we heard the creature continue down the hall. We poked our heads out to make sure the coast was clear.

"Come on, we have to run." The Doctor said as he grabbed my hand. We left the closet and ran down the hallway. "Why is it always them?" the Doctor muttered.

"What was that?" I asked but he didn't answer. I was going to ask again when I saw a door that looked familiar. "Stop!" I yelled. "This is my friend's office. I have to check on her. It won't take long."

"Alright, hurry up." he said.

I opened the door and the Doctor followed me in. It was dark, so I felt around for the light switch. As soon as I flipped on the lights, Selina came out from behind her desk and at the Doctor with a bat.

"Selina. Stop! It's..." Before I could finish, she whacked the Doctor on the arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" He said rubbing his arm.

My friend looked at me and asked, "Who is this?"
