Chapter 12

"Well, this is awkward." I said. None of the Daleks spoke and I was too scared to feel fear in case they could sense it. Tiff moved forward from the TARDIS door and shut it as if nobody else was there.

"So, you caught us. Just me and misty here!" Tiff said to the Daleks. None of them would speak.

""Misty? Seriously?" I asked Tiff.

"Well it was the first name I could think of!"

"You could have thought of a human name instead!"

"It is a human name!"

"No, it's a pet name. Like patches.."

"Fine. Misty and Patches here! Nobody else, we're lone wolves…" Tiff exclaimed. None of the Daleks would more or talk. I approached one and tapped on its eye. There was no reply. I took a few steps back and then threw all my weight into the pepper-pot-like structure. It toppled over and we realised that they were just cases. I ran back into the TARDIS and started hitting buttons randomly but the power had been switched off. That probably meant that the DALEKS knew we were here. I pulled Tiff into the console room and told her we needed to run.

"But where could we run?" She asked.

"Well if we throw Gareth out of the ship he would live and he could get the doctor?" I suggested.

"That's horrible"

"But it would work!"

"True, but why can't you just jump out…"

"Because I'm scared of heights!"

"Right, that's it…" Tiff said as she dragged me towards a window and smashed it so it was big enough for me to fit through. I panicked and started screaming, kicking her in the leg a few times. I could see the huge drop in front of me, like an impending doom. I knew I would die. But I also knew that I would live…

Michael overheard my screams and charged out of the TARDIS. I turned around in Tiff's grip and saw the sheer look of horror in his eyes.

"For the last time, take a good hard look!" Tiff shouted as a joke. Michael screamed and tried grabbing hold of me, accidently pushing me out of the window.

The wind was harsh and cold as I fell through it, but nothing could compare to the force of the impact I felt when I hit the concrete floor. For a few seconds there was just nothing, then I slowly started to see things. I was still missing a hand when I stood back up but I figured that would grow back soon. There were a few abandoned vehicles that littered the streets so I picked up a bike and began to thunder down the streets one handed.

Eventually, I arrived back at the co-operative academy. I charged up the stairs and ran in on Philip half naked. We both erupted into screams and I dived onto the floor to cover my eyes.

"Where's the Doctor?" I asked.

"In the other room." Philip replied awkwardly. I crawled on my stomach out of the room and down the hall, not getting up until I was sure I couldn't see Philip anymore. When I did get up, I carried down the hall into the other room at the end of the science block. The Doctor was looking through the cubboards for different chemicals.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Looking for a chemical that will make Philip's chest not green." He replied.

"Ah, I saw."

"What are you doing?"

"We need to talk."
