Chapter Twelve

The Doctor opened the door when he looked inside and walked inside the throne room. He held onto Zeeni as the Doctor walked toward the throne then looked at the shelf. He walked to the shelf when he saw Yanna and her wolves inside the crystal and carefully picked it up.

"How did you get in there?" the Doctor asked when he placed Zeeni down and took the sonic screwdriver out of the pocket. He scanned the crystal when he placed the crystal on the floor and knelt down. He tapped the sonic screwdriver on the crystal when it shattered and he smiled.

"Wow!" Zeeni whispered when Yanna and her wolves appeared and Yanna looked at them.

"There you go!" the Doctor said when Yanna slammed him against the wall and kissed him hard. She ran her fingers through his hair when she moved back and he blinked.

"Thank you!" Yanna said then ran off and her wolves followed her.

"Y-you're welcome," the Doctor squeaked then coughed, smoothing his hair down.

"She kissed you!" Zeeni giggled and he looked at her.

"Yes, well, let's see where Rose is," the Doctor said when he picked her up then stopped. He looked at the other crystal when he placed her down again and picked the crystal up.

"What is that? "

"The TARDIS."

"The what?"

"Watch!" the Doctor said when he walked to the center of the room and placed the crystal on the floor. He took the sonic screwdriver out when he tapped it on the crystal and the crystal shattered. They watched as the TARDIS shivered then grew back to its normal height and Zeeni smiled.

"Neat!" Zeeni said while the Doctor placed the sonic screwdriver away and nodded.

"Very neat!" said the Doctor when he opened the doors and they walked inside. "Don't touch ANYTHING!"

"How come she's so big in here, but little on the outside?"

"Now that's a new way of saying it," he thought then smiled.

"Like I said, I have my own kind of magic."

Zeeni nodded when she climbed onto the jump seat and the Doctor walked to the console. He pushed the buttons when he smiled and turned picking her up.

"Found her!" the Doctor said as they left and he closed and locked the doors behind them. They walked out of the throne room, but didn't see Mirror standing in the shadows and he growled, balling his hands into fists.

Rose looked out at the dark landscape when she heard Nol moan and turned around. She walked to the bed when she looked at him and he looked so sad. She stroked his hair when his eyes fluttered open and he looked at her.

"Hello," Rose said and he blinked.

"Who are you?" Nol asked with a confused look in his eyes.

"Rose."

"Oh. Yes. Um… Who am I?"

"Nol."

"Oh. Right. Where are we?"

"I think it's your room," Rose said when his eyes went wide and he bolted out from under the duvet.

"No, this is Mirror's room! He'll find us if we stay here!" Nol said with panic in his voice and she got off the bed. Carefully, Rose walked to him when she slid her arms around him and gave him a hug. His whole body was shaking as she stroked his hair and he buried his face in her hair.

"Calm down! He won't!" Rose said when the handle of the door moved and Nol looked at the door.

"Mirror!" Nol whispered then ran behind the dressing screen and Rose looked at the door. The door opened when she picked the vase up and held it over her head. She didn't know if it was possible to harm Mirror, but she was bound and determined not to let him harm Nol. Her heart jumped in her chest when the Doctor walked inside as Rose dropped the vase behind her onto the bed and he smiled at her.

"There you are!" the Doctor said with a smile when he placed Zeeni down onto her feet and Rose ran to him. He made a small grunt as she nearly tackled him to the floor while they hugged and the Doctor giggled. "Miss me?"

"You can't imagine!" Rose said with a wide smile then looked down and saw Zeeni. She knelt down as Zeeni ran to her then they hugged and Zeeni looked at her.

"Where's Nol?" Zeeni asked. Rose wiggled her finger as she took Zeeni's hand and led her to the dressing screen. Zeeni looked around the corner of the dressing screen when she smiled and Nol's eyes went wide. He was sitting on the floor as he held his arms out and Zeeni ran to him. With a low sob, he held her as he rocked back and forth and she hushed him while stroking his hair. The Doctor came closer when he took the sonic screwdriver out and pointed it at Nol. Rose noticed the look on his face when she placed her hand on his arm and gave his arm a small squeeze.

"No," Rose whispered and the Doctor looked at her.

"What's going on?" the Doctor asked as he placed the sonic screwdriver away and Rose took him to the bed. They sat down as Rose moved the vase out of the way then explained and the Doctor looked at the dressing screen. "There's two of him?"

"Yes."

"And this one is harmless?"

"As a kitten," Rose said when Zeeni led Nol out from behind the dressing screen and Nol shook. They stopped at the bed when the Doctor stood up and Nol backed up.

"It's alright. I am not going to hurt you," the Doctor said.

"Who are you?" No asked.

"I'm the Doctor."

"Oh. Um, I am... I am... Um...Zeeni, who am I?" he asked, looking down at her.

"Nol," Zeeni said.

"Oh. Right. I'm Nol," Nol said with a slight bow and the Doctor nodded.

"Mind telling me why you took Zeeni?" the Doctor asked.

"I didn't. Mirror did."

"Why?" the Doctor asked and the door behind them opened wider.

"Well, look at what I found!" Mirror said as they turned and Nol shook.

"Mirror," Nol whispered when Rose got off the bed, walked to Nol and held him.
