a/n I couldn't wait to post chapter three! The villian/alien becomes waaaay better described here. I'm going to try to post on weekends from now on, since we're back in school.

Sorry I didn't say earlier, but it'll be a while before we hear about the Cybermen again. Also, to anyone who is confused on the POV, I'm writing in 3rd person omniscient, so if I'm failing do tell. But that style is written by showing many thoughts from many characters practically every paragraph. Read Eion Colfer books; that's how he writes. Pie to the two peeps who guessed! And to the others who admitted defeat.

"Excuse me miss, but I don't believe that you have told me your name." The Doctor spun around to his Catkind acquaintance that stood behind him. "What is it?"

"Amanda. Amanda Day."

"Beautiful. Now, there about twenty unknown life forms on this ship, and a person is dead. The question is, Amanda, what are they?" The Doctor quirked an eyebrow as he talked. Letting the question hang in the atmosphere, the Time Lord resumed using his sonic to open the lock that stood between the duo and answers.

"What do you mean you have 'no idea'? You have to know something!" Nico demanded.

"All I saw was a waitress lying on the floor. When I went to check on her, she was—she was…." The man stumbled over his words.

"She was what?" Nico demanded impatiently.

"Dead," The man choked out, "And she had to large cut—perfect circles—on her arm. There was no blood. It was all…gone. As if it had been sucked out."

"Wait. Do you mean like vampires suck blood? Because that, even with all that I've seen, is unbelievable."

"What—what is a vampire

Should I explain vampires to this idiot? Nico wondered. "Forget it. Look, if everyone sticks together, then nobody else has to die. Just everybody stay in here and I'll go get help."

The woman with green scales suddenly decided to speak up, "Oh, so we all cower in here, while some uninvited child handles it? I don't think so. I'll be coming along."

Nico rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Let's get going."

Insolent child, the Silurian thought, who brought him along? "Alright then, let's go!"

"Allons-y!" Nico cheered, proud of what little French he had learned from Mitchell, one of Aphrodite's sons that he had somehow managed to befriend. The Silurian introduced herself as Takana, which Nico thought was a weird name. These alien names were nothing like American ones.

The odd pair walked down the hall. Takana grumbled about annoying human boys while Nico complained about magical blue boxes. They only paused when they came upon the dead waitress' body. Checking over her, the two companions found that what the panicked man spoke the truth. She appeared to have no blood in her body, and two cuts marked her arm. "Almost like a spider bite…." Nico whispered under his breath. Takana only nodded. "Do you have any idea what might have done this?" Takana shook her head in reply. Nico cursed quietly at the news.

Far away on another level of what Nico believed was a building, the Doctor was talking to the ship's captain. "The computer is searching for any uninvited guests. But I don't think it will find any stowaways on my ship—no-sir! I have the best security in the galaxy. Nothing gets past my….Oh."

"What? What's it found?" The Doctor questioned.

"Seems there are some unwanted guests everywhere."

"Everywhere?"

"Yes, everywhere. Why don't you just rub my failure in, thank you very much. Humph." The captain sighed before continuing, "Three stowaways on level eight, two on level seven, four on level six, one on level five, two on level four, three on level three, none on level two, and five on level one. The computer can only identify one intruder's species, a stowaway on level six."

"And they are…?" Amanda pressed for an answer.

"Human. I had no idea any were left after the Earth blew up." The captain stated.

"Oh, there are plenty left!" The Doctor exclaimed, "You just haven't met them yet. I know how they got on board, Captain. She goes by the name 'Nico' I believe."

"So you already have a partner?" Amanda looked slightly annoyed about the very idea of being replaced by a human. After all, she was an exceptional Catkind.

"No, no, no! She sprayed painted graffiti across my TARDIS. I have to take her home. But I don't believe that she means any harm to all of you."

"She's standing by a dead body." The captain interrupted.

"Coincidence! She's probably very confused, I should take her back to Earth soon."

"There's no 'Earth' to go back to!"

"Just trust me. Now, we need to find out what exactly is on your ship and why. Move out team!"

"Wait, Doctor!" Amanda looked horribly confused.

The Doctor turned to her as if to say "go ahead".

"Shouldn't we bring a weapon? Or something to defend ourselves with?"

"I don't do violence. Sorry Amanda." And with that, he proceeded to skip out of the bridge and out into the hall. Amanda groaned. Why can't anything ever be easy?

a/n: btw: If you didn't catch it, in chapter 1, Eleven hopes that Nico is a girl. So that's how he thinks of Nico...As a female. Please give me your guesses as to what is attacking! (PIE!) Think only-in-one-episode aliens/villians, okay?
