10. Part Two Chapter Four

The Doctor and River led on, with me lagging behind. River scanned ahead in each area we entered. A soft humming sound, which was coming from the heart of the ship, continued to get louder and louder, as we came closer towards the engine room. "What are we exactly looking for, River?" I asked, fear mounting up by the second. A swift, cold breeze chilled my back and I jumped at the touch. The Doctor gave me a 'there's nothing there' look and continued in River's wake.

"I honestly don't know," she replied and continued scanning the long dark corridor. Watching the path River and the Doctor had taken, I stopped a moment, intrigued by the craftsmanship that had gone into this star-liner. The rails had a smooth and slick finish to them, while the patterns on the walls themselves were absolutely breathtaking. I let my hand slide along a wall and then it happened again. My torso tightened as I looked on in horror. The Doctor was lying motionless on the floor, River was sobbing over his broken body, screaming inaudible words. I took a few steps closer and River turned pointing a gun at my head. The one word that became audible was "Why?" I had no idea what was going on. A monstrous beast lumbered clumsily towards River. It had the head and wings of an eagle, but the body of a horse. It slashed out a sharp talon towards River, but I jumped in its path. The sound of ripping flesh came to my ears, and then everything went blank.

I was ripped back into reality as quickly as I left it. I raced down the corridor to find the Doctor and River, unsure why this vision was placed into my head, at the touch of the wall. But then it made sense. We were looking for an unknown creature within these walls and I had been shown what it was. The Doctor and River were in danger and I had to find them before it was too late. I pick up my pace and eventually collided into the two. The smiling Doctor's face soon looked on at me in horror. "What happened?" He quivered, "And don't you dare tell me it was nothing!"

I looked at River in despair and her encouraging nod and smile gave me the strength I needed. "I know what we are hunting down," I began and I launched into the details of the vision, some of which I did leave out to save both, the Doctor and River Song.
