Kris's POV:
We were almost to the end of the ride when the Carnotaurus blocked our way. We quickly turned back around, but the other dinosaurs were right behind us.
We were surrounded.
"What do we do?" I asked, my voice trembling. The Doctor pulled something out of his pocket. I recognized the whirring sound it made from the night before. "Can you shut them down?"
"I want to find out how they're being controlled first." The Doctor took a brave step towards the Carnotaurus, even as it roared loudly in his face.
I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to find a Styracosaurus charging at me. I had no time to move, no time to act. I held up my hands in a feeble attempt to protect myself just before it hit me & I found myself flying through the air. I crashed into the scenery.
"Kris!" I heard the Doctor yell. I must have blacked out for a moment, because the next thing I knew, the Doctor was standing over me, pulling me to my feet.
"Come on, we have to go!" We moved as quickly as possible towards the exit, using the scenery to hide our movements. We ducked under the final tree & ran to the exit.
"I'll shut them down!" I said. I ran to the controls & turned everything off. The room plunged into darkness.
"They're right behind us!" the Doctor said, flashlight in hand.
"That's impossible. I've shut off all the power!" I said…but a loud roar proved that the Doctor was right. We ran back through the line & out of the building.
"Over here!" The Doctor said, pulling me into the thick foliage in the courtyard in front of the ride building. I held my breath as the dinosaurs crashed through the doors, & walked past our hiding spot into the park.
We stayed still for several long minutes, making sure they weren't on their way back to finish us off. As the adrenaline wore off, I felt my arm start to hurt. I had a long scratch running along it, & probably lots of bruises all over my body.
"You're hurt." the Doctor said.
"It could've been worse." I said, realizing how true that statement was. I had been extremely lucky to land in the scenery. If I had landed on the cement floor… "There's a first aid station on the other side of the park." I said, or at least I tried to. Why was it suddenly so hard to talk? I felt so tired…
"Kris, look at me." The Doctor shone his flashlight into each of my eyes, like he was checking for something. I guess he was a doctor after all…
"I'll be fine, just let me rest…"
"No." he said, sharply. "You're hurt, & it's my fault. Let me help you."
We took the Utilidors back to the Magic Kingdom. It was pretty late, & the park was mostly empty. It must have been close to closing time…
The Doctor led me to the Police Box & pulled a key out of his pocket.
"I was wondering…what this was…" I said. "I had never…noticed it…before…"
He led me inside, & I couldn't believe what I saw.
"It's…bigger…on the inside?" I asked. I was sure my eyes were playing tricks on me.
He took my hand & led me deeper inside. After we entered the hallway, he led me to a room that looked like an exam room at a doctor's office. He sat me down on an exam table before turning to a shelf loaded with strange objects. He picked up a jar that looked like it had a bunch of fireflies in it.
"What…are those?" I asked.
"Nano genes." the Doctor said. "Picked them up during the London Blitz, but don't worry, I wiped their hard drives & now they're just like new." He turned back to me. "Just hold still." He opened the jar. The little nano genes flew all around me. Suddenly, I was feeling less sore, & my arm didn't hurt as badly. I head was also starting to feel clearer.
"Feeling better?" the Doctor asked after collecting the nano genes back into their jar. I checked my arm. It was completely healed.
"You're not really with Security, are you?" I asked.
"No." he said. The answer didn't surprise me, but I wasn't sure what else to say. Luckily, my phone beeped with a text from Lucy.
"I, uh, should probably be getting home. My roommate is getting worried."
"No problem." he said. He led me back the way we came.
"Those nano gene things are safe, right?" I asked.
"Absolutely. Unless you find that a gas mask has grown onto your face." He smiled like that was some kind of joke, but I didn't quite see the humor.
"Right." I said, stepping back outside. "So, um…Thanks for healing me." I said.
"No trouble at all." I walked away as he stepped back inside his box.
Then I turned & ran like hell.
I'm terrible at character description, so I have posted a link to a picture of Kris on my profile…except it's not showing up. If any of you know how to fix this, let me know!
