The fluffy football was getting closer and closer to Abigail now. She could smell its disgusting breath and feel it breathing on the back of her neck.

She had got to the fork in the alleyway. If she turned right she would get to the school gates, if she turned left she would head straight for the local woods. She stopped and thought. What could she do? Go to school? Or the woods? She didn't have long to ponder though as the creature came soaring round the corner. Abigail made her decision. She sprinted left running as fast as her legs to carry her. She could, would not let this thing attack the innocent people in her school. Although she wouldn't mind if it accidentally ate Lauren Jones. She pushed that thought out of her head. She had to concentrate on what to do next. Her legs were hurting now and her lungs were burning. She had never run this fast in her life and hoped that she would never have to again.

The thing was closing and she knew it wouldn't belong before it got to her. Her mind suddenly went blank and one thought came into her head.

"Help me. Come and get me."

She was then blasted back into reality. What the hell had just happened? Why had her mind said that? But before she could contemplate any longer she saw the woods.

"If I can just get there, I can lose it in the trees"

It was a long shot but worth a try. She picked up her pace again and headed for the woody sanctuary. Just keep running, just keep running. That though went over and over in her mind. How she wished she was good at sports now, but no she had to be blessed with brains.

"Bloody lot of good those are right about now!" She said aloud.

She was almost there now. She could smell the woods, feel the leaves brush past her burning skin. But the creature was now hovering above her ready to plunge.

In one last desperate attempt Abby increased her speed. Well if she was going to die she was going to die running.

But her desperate attempt was in vain; the creature was once again hovering above her. She was about to scream when out of nowhere a blue police box appeared..

Abigail gripped the handle willing it to be open. It was! She ran into the box, closed the door and collapsed onto the TARDIS floor.
