When the Doctor looked round the flight deck he saw Aderyn and River working at a console.
"There's a teleport. If I can get it to work we can get the others here. Where's Octavian?"
"He's dead," the Doctor said solemnly. He walked over to the teleport and gave it a quick glance. "So is that teleport. River, I need to use your communicator."
River handed it to him.
"Please tell me you have a plan." Aderyn said.
"Um, yes I have a sort of plan. But we need to get the others here." he said.
"I can go and get them." Aderyn said. She knew neither the Doctor or River would allow her to do that, but she desperately wanted to make sure Amy was ok.
"Addy, you know I'm not going to let you do that. But trust me on this, I have a plan."
Amy held the communicator tightly "Hello? Hello are you there?" she said.
"Yes I'm here," Marco replied "I'm quite close now."
"Then please come back." Amy begged.
"It's weird looking at it," Marco said "It feels really." he stopped talking.
"Really what?" Amy said, her panic and fear rising. There was no response "Hello? Please say you're there. Hello?"
For a second there was no reply. Then,
"Hello? Amy is that you?"
She sighed with relief "Doctor, the clerics have gone. They walked into a light and they didn't even remember each other."
"No they wouldn't. That light is time running out. I'm sorry Amy, I made a mistake. I should never have left you. You need to come to us."
"But I can't see. I cant open my eyes." She said.
"Turn on the spot, when the communicator sounds like my screwdriver it means you're facing the right way. There's time energy spilling out into the ship and you need to stay ahead of it."
Amy stood and turned on the spot. When she heard the familiar buzz of the screwdriver she stopped.
"But the Angels?" she said.
"The Angels can only kill you. If the time energy catches up with you, you will never have been born Every moment of your life and your existence will be erased. You would never have lived at all. You need to stay ahead of it."
"Now keep your eyes shut and start moving." The Doctor said.
Aderyn and River could see the worry etched into his face.
"Will this work?" Aderyn said, she stayed close to the hatch, ready to jump out and find Amy.
"If you have a better idea I would love to hear it." The Doctor said quietly. He held up the communicator again, directing the sonic screwdriver at it before speaking into it "Listen, Amy I'm sending a proximity sensor to your communicator. It'll beep if something is in your way. Just move until the beeping stops. Because, and this is very important, the forest is full of Angels and you need to walk like you can see. If they think you can see them then their instincts will kick in."
"What do you mean?" Amy asked.
"Just keep moving." The Doctor lowered the communicator again.
"What's the time energy going to do?" Aderyn asked.
"Keep eating."
"How do we stop it?"
"Feed it."
"Feed it what?"
"A big, complicated space time event should shut it up for a while." The Doctor started to pace.
"Like what, for instance?" River looked up from the teleport she was working on.
"Like me for instance." The Doctor snapped at her.
Aderyn walked over to River "I can get this teleport working again, but it would have a very short range. Amy needs to be closer." River whispered to her.
The communicator in her hand beeped and whirred. She stopped walking. Amy took a deep breath "What's that?" she said.
"It's a warning. It means there are Angels around you. But listen to me, this is going to be hard but I know you can do it. The Angels are scared And running, and right now they're not that interested in you. They'll assume you can see them and their instincts will kick in. All you've got to do is walk like you can see." Amy didn't move. Fear had seized her and she couldn't bring herself to move.
"You're not moving." Came the Doctor's voice from the communicator.
The Doctor paced furiously, he had to get Amy moving. He knew she was scared and he knew he was asking for the impossible, but she needed to move.
"You have to do this." He shouted into the communicator. Amy still didn't move.
Aderyn walked behind the Doctor, slapped the back of his head and took the communicator from him.
"Amy?" she said "Amy, you don't have that far to go now. Just a few feet."
"What are you talking about? She's not that close." The Doctor snapped in a harsh whisper.
"You have to move, sweetie. I'd be doing the same as you right now but you have to do what the Doctor says."
"I'm scared." Amy wasn't sure she'd have admitted it to the Doctor, but Aderyn had the same motherly tone as River, and that's what she needed right now.
"You're not the only one," Aderyn said "And you wouldn't believe the amount of times I have been saved by listening to the Doctor. So listen to what he's told you. Keep moving. I promise you it's not far now."
Amy started to take tentative steps forward.
"You can handle this, you're Scottish." Aderyn said.
Amy laughed. Her relief was short lived when she caught her foot on a tree root. She hit the floor with surprising force and dropped the communicator.
Aderyn gave the communicator back to the Doctor, before walking back over to River. "Nicely done." River said to her.
Amy scrabbled on the floor, desperately trying to find the communicator again. But no matter where she put her hands, she couldn't feel it. She could feel movement around her and could hear the sound of stone grating on stone. She knew she was completely surrounded by Angels now. She carefully and quickly got to her feet, trying to orientate herself. Hoping she was still facing the right way, she took a step forward. And someone caught her.
