"Who tagged me?" Vince demanded nearly pushing a blood covered hand in his hair but the Doctor simply shrugged.
"Probably the last person you met…Excluding me." He turned to the console and reached for the monitor, he stopped mid air and ran a hand softly along the buttons "Blood?" He muttered dipping his finger in a puddle of the stuff covering one of the buttons. He slowly turned to Vince "What did you do?" He straightened up and folded his arms.
"Nothing." The young man shrugged a shoulder, gazing up at the Doctor who had a stern look on his face. Vince sighed and held out his palms, which were still leaking with blood.
"How did you do that?" The Doctor demanded as he dragged Vince through the corridors of the Tardis and into a white room, which smelt of disinfectant "Sit." He ordered and the young man obeyed sitting down on a cold metal table. The Doctor hovered his hand's around Vince's and slowly a smirk slid across his face.
"What are they?"
"Nano-genes."
"It tickles!" Vice giggled as he watched the tiny colourful sparkles fly around his hands. When they were gone he flexed his hands and wiggled his fingers, there was no blood, no cuts and no scars "Brilliant."
"Now, what did you do?" The Doctor's tone of voice had become more serious.
"I tried on this cool jacket in your wardrobe…Then tripped and fell on it when the ship had a spasm. The glass beads shattered into my hands."
"Right ok then. No harm done!" He bounded out of the room with Vince having to run to catch up with him.
"But I broke your jacket…Aren't you mad with me?"
"Nah…I've got three spares, come on."
"Where are we off to then?"
"While you were off trying on many of my wonderful clothes, I tracked down your friends." Vince's face lit up as the Doctor spoke, he followed him as the energetic man zipped around the console pushing buttons and pulling levers, he only stopped when they had crashed into each other "Turns out that box that fascinated me is a gateway to a new world. A prison even, where your friends are." He paused resting a hand on the box hearing the voice again, begging him to open it "And we have to go in."
"Go in there?" The Doctor nodded and lifted the lid gently, setting the box on the floor in between himself and the king of the mods.
"After you." He motioned at the box as Vince carefully took a step inside it, there was nothing for his foot to land on so he simply fell inside it, the Doctor joined him more carefully but still landed on top of him in a heap.
"Argh get off!" Vince moaned fixing his hair with quick, sharp hands.
"Right, sorry. Didn't quite expect that." The Doctor mumbled standing up and straightening out his suit. The place they were in was deserted, it looked like a giant Zoo with a prison feel to it.
"Where are they?"
"Don't know…Let's go…This way." He pointed and led the way with Vince running to catch up.
"Haven't thought this little adventure through, have you?"
"Uhm…Nope."
The Doctor crept round corners with Vince following him quietly, so far nothing and no one had been found apart from the dark cages that lined the walls.
"He's got to be round here somewhere…Or she, who knows what gender we're dealing with here. I dunno…You humans…Enjoy getting yourselves into trouble don't you! And it's always me that has to get you out of it…I don't mind of course, if I minded I just wouldn't bother but where's the fun in that for me? I love saving you humans…The human race! You lot astonish me you know…And you…You've never been so quiet, Vince?" He swung round to an empty corridor and stamped his foot on the floor "Damn! Can never stay in once place." He muttered as he headed back the way he had come "Vince?" He hissed as he turned a corner quietly, the mod was no where to be seen.
'Once he's gone you sort of start to miss him.' The Doctor thought to himself as he whispered Vince's name a few more times.
Suddenly the lights in cages flickered on causing him to straighten up, he glanced around quietly for a while but nothing remotely interesting happened.
"Vince?" He called again; getting impatient "Should have left that tracking device on you." He muttered cursing himself for removing the strange mint from the mod's hair. The Doctor stayed silent as he crept along the corridor, he could hear voices coming from the far end so he decided to investigate.
Isn't it getting exciting? P XD So...Another chapter and another day closer to Christmas!
Enjoy xx
