Luna's Prophecy

The kitchen fell silent as the information of the Daleks returning sunk in. The Doctor stared at the table as the pain and anger grew inside him. Luna watched him carefully. She wanted to tell him everything was going to be ok but she knew that it wasn't.

"Mum, are you sure it's the Daleks?"

"Positive," Victoria replied, "I saw some with my own eyes. They chased a large group of us across the town. I was terrified."

Victoria's voice started to crack. Luna put her arms around her mother and hugged her. She looked over as the Doctor looked straight in her eyes. He suddenly looked as old as he claimed.

"What do we do, Doctor?" She asked.

For a few moments, the Doctor said nothing, clearly thinking. Their eye contact never broke. Luna wasn't sure what to expect but she knew they wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. The entire universe was in danger.

"We need to find out what they are up to and stop them." He finally said.

He stood and pulled on his coat. Luna parted from her mother and stood up too.

"Luna." Victoria tried to stop her.

"Luna, this is going to be the most danger you've ever been in. I would feel better if you stayed here."

The Doctor looked at Luna almost pleadingly. He was worried for her safety. She smiled slightly at his concern.

"I know," She replied, "But I can't let you face them alone. You know how I feel about you and I promised to stay with you for as long as possible.

Victoria looked between them both and could see the new dynamic in their relationship. The two time travellers just gazed in to each other's eyes, neither one looking away or speaking. Finally a small smile appeared on the Doctor's face.

"C'mon then." He said.

With that, they dashed out of the door, Victoria watching on, tears filling her eyes.

As before, when the Doctor and Luna stepped out on to the street, the whole neighbourhood was deserted. The sun may have been shining and the sky may have been clear of clouds but there was no one about. It made Luna feel really sad. She could see the playground she played in as a child, empty. They walked to where the Daleks were seen most often. As they walked, Luna's mind thought about the prophecy she had been told by the fortune teller on Satista. She spoke of metal creatures gliding through the sky and chasing the Doctor. Surely the metal creatures were the Daleks. This was why Luna had to be with the Doctor now. If the Daleks were going to be the Doctor's killers, she was going to right by his side. As they walked, Luna watched the Doctor's expression the whole way. His eyes had never looked so steely, determined and full of fire. In fact, it made Luna anxious seeing him like this. She wished she could ease the situation but she knew that it was the wrong time. But she had to break this tense silence.

"What do you think the Daleks are up to?" She asked.

"I am not sure at the moment," He replied, "They are not acting normally. They usually kill everything in sight that isn't another Dalek. They are still causing terror and fear amongst the humans."

"What about when they realise that you're here? Surely they'll be after a fight with you."

"Then, I'll be ready for them."

The coldness of the Doctor's word made Luna more nervous. It wasn't often that the Doctor made her just as nervous as the creature they were facing.

Soon they reached the main high street where, yet again, there was no sign of anyone. Both the Doctor and Luna looked up and down the street but nothing. Suddenly there was a scream followed by a screech. They looked at each other then sprinted in the direction of the noises. But they didn't get far. A large crowd of people came stampeding towards them. There, flying above and behind the crowd were three Daleks.

"RUN!" The Doctor yelled.

He grabbed Luna's hand and they ran. But as the crowd caught up to them, they were forced to let go. They kept running as the Daleks chased them, shooting randomly at the street. The crowd was so thick and moving so quickly that Luna had no idea where she was running or where the Doctor was. But as she ran, someone stood on the back of her heel, causing her to fall to the floor. She landed in a bit of a heap. She stayed as still as possible as the rest of the crowd ran past her. Once she was sure that she wasn't going to be stood on, she pushed herself off the floor and on to her feet. Then felt a horrible chill run up her spine.

"Halt! Do not move or you will be exterminated!" A Dalek ordered.

Luna froze as her hearts pounded firmly in her chest. She had heard the Daleks speak before but now they were speaking directly to her, she had never been so scared.

"Face me!" It ordered.

Slowly, Luna turned to face her captor. Up close the size and power of the Daleks were more threatening than she ever imagined. The one closest stared coolly at her with its eyestalk. The blue light gave no indication of emotion, proving how efficient they were at killing. Luna swallowed with her breathing ragged and shaky.

"Well, aren't you going to kill me?" She asked, trying, unsuccessfully, to hide her fear.

Then two men appeared behind the Daleks, dressed in heavy military suits. They looked like private hit men. Luna was now very confused. Who were they and what were they doing with the Daleks?

"Restrain the female." The closest Dalek ordered.

The two men approached Luna and went behind her. One held her still by her shoulders while the other cuffed her hands behind her back.

'Nice work, Luna,' she thought to herself, 'You had to get separated from the Doctor. Now, you couldn't be in more trouble.'

Once the cuffs were on and the men were sure Luna wasn't going to get free, they pulled their guns and pointed them at her back, trapping her between them and the Daleks.

"You will follow us."

Reluctantly, Luna did as she was ordered and followed as the Daleks moved away from the area.

'Where are you, Doctor?'

The Doctor had carried on running in the crowd. Losing sight of Luna made the situation worse in his eyes. Eventually, he managed to get away from the crowd and slip in to a side road. He leant against the wall as he got his breath back. He could feel his hearts thumping against his ribs. As he regained his composure, his mind was constantly on Luna. Where was she? Was she ok? Surely, she was safe. Despite being quite young and not as experienced as him, she was swift enough to get to safety. But he had to find her. He had an idea of where she would go now. It was a rule he set down for her when it was obvious that she had a tendency to wander off when distracted.

"If we get separated and you can't find me," He said, "Then go to the TARDIS and I'll meet you there."

Sticking to that rule, the Doctor set off to find his precious ship.

After a few minutes of running, the Doctor finally found the TARDIS standing proud as usual. He pushed on the door to find it locked. If Luna was inside, then she was clever enough to lock herself in. He pulled out his key and unlocked and opened the door. He rushed inside to see no sign of her.

"Luna! Where are you?" He shouted.

There was no response. She wasn't onboard.

"No," The Doctor breathed, "No! They've got her!"

He stormed out of the blue box and started running back to the high street. But as he ran, he was unaware of a large black SUV hurtling towards him. It screeched to a halt just ahead of him. The door opened. Then suddenly those inside, reached out, grabbed the Doctor and yanked him inside. Once he was safely in, the door slammed shut and the SUV turned violently around and set off back in the direction it had come. The Doctor sat up quickly, ready to scream at who ever were stopping him from finding Luna. But as he turned around, he stopped and his expression softened.

"Jack! Martha!"


What do the Daleks have planned for the planet and for Luna? Will the Doctor find his companion in time? Can Torchwood help? What can be done? Wait and find out. A review would be gratefully appreciated, please.
