This is a bit of a weird chapter, just a heads up... I needed to provide a link between the last scene and the one that will follow. Hope you're still enjoying my wild adventure with the Doctor!

Disclaimer: I still don't own Doctor Who or Matt Smith... sad face :( lol

Please read and review!

"Oh my God it's happened again, this can't be happening again..." Amy moaned, turning and rushing back into the TARDIS at full tilt. Rory and I ran in after her. I could barely catch my breath, the Doctor has gone, he had just disappeared...

"What the hell do you mean, this has happened before?" I cried, slamming the doors shut behind me and charging up to the console.

"He's always disappearing, damn him..." Amy replied, pulling a scanner towards her and peering at it, "Yup, he's completely gone, clean off the sensors..." Rory swore quietly, clenching his jaw.

"But I don't get it," I said, pacing back and forth, "who the hell was that voice? And what could the Doctor have possibly done to make them hate him so much? The Doctor is... is... he's not..." I found that I couldn't really make myself say what I really felt about the Doctor, those words were much too personal and emotional to let out at this tense moment.

"The Doctor, he sort of... has a history of pissing off the bad guys," Rory explained, pacing as well, "He may have a lot of friends around the universe, but he's also got just as many enemies."

"We could fly the TARDIS to him," Amy interjected, still looking at the scans closely, "See if we can get to him, rescue him." I nodded, stopping to look at her. Her face looked set, determined.

"What do we do?" I asked.

A few moments later, Amy and I were spinning back and forth around around the TARDIS console just like I'd seen the Doctor do so many times, frantically trying to get something, anything, to happen. Rory kept alternating between helping (if you call randomly pulling levers helpful) and trying to stop us.

"This... has... to... work...!" Amy seethed, tears in her eyes, slamming her fist against a flashing button. I bit my lip, jerking a knob back and forth as nothing happened; the TARDIS remained dark and silent. Pausing for a moment, I closed my eyes, breathing quickly, trying to take it all in. The Doctor is gone...

"DAMN it!" Amy cried, stopping her desperate actions, leaning against Rory who slipped a comforting arm around her. I clenched my hands in front of me, thinking fast.

"Look, we just need to... has he... maybe if we just found out where we are..."

Amy released herself from Rory, running over to the door of the TARDIS. Sticking out her head, she yelled, "Oi! You! Where are you? Answer me, damn it!" Silence was her only answer, as Rory and I

joined her at the doorway, looking out into the dark cave. Amy subsided into silence, leaning heavily against the frame.

We stayed there, for a moment, when suddenly a shout echoed in the distance of the cave. We all jumped, squinting into the blackness. After a moment I gasped as a figure came into view, limping towards us. A man... by the looks of it...

"Who... who are you?" I called, unable to keep my voice steady. The figure paused, then continued towards us. After a moment I could see that it was a man, a man with green skin...

"Hello..." he said, pausing just within the light from the TARDIS, "I'm... Damon. I'm here to help."

"Excuse me, what?" Rory interrupted, frowning slightly.

"I'm Damon, this is, was, my planet. I believe you got my message?"

Suddenly it all clicked.

"You called us!" I cried, stepping out of the TARDIS towards the green man, "you called on the TARDIS phone..."

Damon nodded, looking gravely at the three of us.

"Now, indeed, it's been a while, I'll grant you that, but... Always got a new face, which one of you is, pardon me, the Doctor?"

There was a silence as Amy, Rory, and I all exchanged sad glances.

"Um, he's not here, thought wouldn't you know that?" Rory replied. I couldn't help but glare slightly at the green-skinned man before us, feeling that this was somehow his fault.

"I... beg your pardon?" Damon murmured, moving closer. His brow was furrowed as he regarded us closely, "it's not like the Doctor to keep himself hidden, is he quite alright?"

I sighed. "He got...taken... when we first got here. Didn't you see? There was a huge, metal voice talking, saying he'd be alone now or something..." I trailed off, unable to speak any more.

Damon now looked truly horrified. "Oh, by the gods I am sorry... I couldn't have gotten here any sooner, what with our security, I'm so so dreadfully sorry!"

Amy was glaring at the floor in silence, Rory biting his lip.

"So, um..." I began, trying to keep my voice steady, "do you know where the doctor has been taken?"

Damon paused and sighed, "Let's not speak of it here. Follow me, I'll take you below to our holdings where we can speak openly..."

He turned and began to move away from us, still limping.

The three of us sort of gaped at one another for a moment, unsure whether to follow the green alien or not.

Amy reached into her pants pocket, pulling out a small shiny object. "Spare TARDIS key, she murmured, her voice full of emotion, and she swiftly pulled the doors shut behind us, locking us out. The three of us turned and began to follow Damon's retreating back, deeper and deeper into the darkening cave.
