Chapter Four

Andrew sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he looked around to access his surroundings. He noticed The Doctor walking around with his sonic screwdriver, rubbing the back of head thoughtfully.

"What are you doing" Andrew asked in an inquisitive fashion.

"Just tryna find a way out" he removed his spectacles from his face and placed on of the arms in his mouth as he stared thoughtfully into space. He removed the glasses from his mouth to speak "We need to somehow find a way out without coming into contact with the fog..."

Andrew finished his thought process for him "because if we enter the fog then the zombies can hide in the fog right?"

"Problem is, the fog's everywhere" he placed the glasses back into the inside pocket of his jacket.

Rachel shot up like a lightning bolt and stared at the Doctor and Andrew. She had just had another nightmare. She was used to it, nightmares had become a regular thing for her.

"Whats happening?" She asked

"Well, we need to find a way out," the Doctor smiled "I was thinking we could walk down to the next station. Shouldn't take too long"

"There are no lights in the tunnel" José had been awake the whole time and yet nobody had noticed "we'd be walking in complete darkness"

"Ah" the Doctor frowned.

The group of four began their trek through the darkened tunnel that awaited them. The eery sounds of scratching and distant groans echoed throughout the curvature of the walls and amplified the sound throughout the tunnels. A faint dripping of water could be heard and the uncertainty drove Andrew insane.

"I can't bloody take this anymore" he shouted

The sound richocheted through the tunnel.

"Shh we need to attract as little attention as possible" Rachel whispered, but even the faintest of whispers projected throughout their hollow surroundings.

An unmistakable moan of a zombie could be heard from the the other end of the tunnel and the group all looked at Doctor for guidance, only to find that he shared the same concerned look as the rest of the group.

The Doctor signalled the three humans to stay where they were and crept forward carefully towards the sound.

"I know what you are" he shouted into the emptiness "very clever, what you did there with the perception filter"

There was no reply apart from the ongoing zombified groans that had been in the groups nightmares.

"Give up already, we know your tricks" he called out.

He held up his screwdriver in a torch-like fashion and lit up the surrounding area. A figure could be seen, surrounded by fog, facing away from them. He seemed to be wearing a fleece that was soaking wet and as the liquid trickled down the backs of his hands it became obvious that this was blood. He had greasy ginger curley hair that, like the fleece, dripped blood.

"Wait..." José's voice quivered "H-Henry?"

The figure turned around and as expected, it was Henry, but his face was completely distorted and almost resembled a Picasso painting as the facial features were immensely jumbled. He opened his mouth to reveal a crooked set of teeth, some of which were slanted and facing opposite directions.

The group gasped in Horror and Andrew whimpered in pure terror and disgust of the view that had met their eyes.

"This isn't Henry," the Doctor stated "it's a morph. Looks like something went wrong in the process"

The morph of Henry slanted its head and flickered as it did so like a when a TV loses connection. The morph ground it's teeth and prepared itself to say something as it cleared it's throat.

The group waited apprehensively as Rachel called out "who are you and what have you done to Henry"

The morph smiled to reveal it's off-centered crooked teeth "We are the new order" it began "and we are coming"

Silence fell across the group as the morph raised its hands and grasped its head. Suddenly, the morph jolted it's arms and broke its own neck instantly as it collapsed to the floor.

Andrew screamed in terror. The rest of the group stood there, traumatized.

"I can't handle this anymore, this is too much" Andrew cried in fright. His true self being witnessed by the rest of the group now.

"Oh Andrew," the Doctor said shakily "this is only the beginning".
