Emma wandered through the dark room, warily running the beam of her flashlight over every corner of the room. "Ghosts aren't real, ghosts aren't real..." She heard a splash behind her and spun around, expecting to find Freddy Krueger or perhaps a pale, little girl with all of her hair in her face. There was just a dark and empty doorway that lead to a dark and empty corridor. "Stupid Doctor, taking me to an abandoned asylum." She was about to turn around when she saw it. A shadow darted through the hallway and the door slammed shut, the lock clicking in place. "No!" Dropping her flashlight on the floor, she ran for the door and jiggled the knob, desperately trying to open it. Her fingers searched for the lock, but she couldn't find one. "No, no, of course! Of course it locks from the outside because it's for mental patients. Doctor? Doctor, if this is you, it's not funny!" She slammed her palm against the metal surface. "Doctor!" She stumbled back with a yelp when his face appeared in the small window.

"What are you doing in there?" His voice was only slightly muffled.

"Oh, I don't know, it seemed like a nice place to live!" She snapped. "Just let me out of here!"

He nodded and tried to open the door, brow furrowing when he ended up unsuccessful. "It's locked."

"Really? I had no idea!" Her mouth was open to say something else, but she paused when she saw him staring over her shoulder with wide eyes. "What? What are you looking at?" She slowly turned and thanks to the moonlight streaming in through a barred window, she saw a shadow. It reached the ceiling, arms and legs abnormally long, and it seemed to be walking towards her. "Oh, God." She backed up against the door. "Doctor, please get me out of here! Use your sonic or something! Please!"

"Emma, just stay calm! You're going to be fine, alright?"

"I will not stay calm because I'm not gonna be fine! I'm about to be killed by a shadow!" She let out a groan. "God, 'Girl Killed By Shadow', what kind of headline is that? People are going to think I was insane! And dying in an asylum doesn't exactly help that theory, does it?" Her head thumped back against the door as the shadow came closer. "Doctor, not entirely sure if you're doing anything out there, but if you are, could you possibly hurry it up a bit?" That's when the door disappeared from behind her and she stumbled back, only saved from falling to the floor by the Doctor catching her.

"Hello!" He smiled down at her. "Told you that you'd be fine." It was his turn to stumble back as she shot up and threw her arms around his neck.

"I should kill you for taking me here." She mumbled, burying her face in his chest.

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Oh, shush, you're fine." His smile dropped when he saw the shadow beginning to move out of the room. "Um, perhaps we should head back to the TARDIS now."

"Hmm?" She turned and her eyes widened as soon as she saw it. "You know, I like that idea a lot. Should we just..."

"Yeah." With that, they took off running in the opposite direction.

A/N - I hope that was worth the wait. As always, requests are welcome!
