Sorry this has taken so long to update. My life is pretty horrible at the moment, so I will be very slow at updating. Sorry for any difficulties. I hope this chapter is alright. Enjoy. Read/review.
10 YEARS LATER
"I will always remember that moment of glory. The moment he grabbed my hand and told me, 'run'. You're probably sick of this story, Caramel. How many times have I told you it? Hey, little kitty-cat?" Lorna coos, running her hand over Caramel's wild fur. He begins to purr, the vibrations running under Lorna's hand.
"It's time to go into the big world, Caramel. I'm older now. I long to feel that rush of adrenalin, I miss it. Don't look at me like that! Joining the army is the only way I can see him again...he just left last time..and..I had so much more that I wanted to say." Caramel looked sideways at the girl, yawning, before stretching himself over her lap.
"You always know what to say to make me feel better. Come on, let's get something to eat! Kitty cat delicacies for you, and some leafy salad for me. How about we marathon watch 'The War of the forest'?" Caramel leaps off Lorna's lap, and they leave her room and go to the kitchen, where Lorna prepares their treats.
10 YEARS AGO
"Run." One word, and the two of them are off, heavy footsteps flying through the Gamma Forest. Lorna's small 8 year old legs struggled to keep up with the mans long and lanky legs, but she managed to. Her heart was beating fast, and adrenaline pumped through her veins, sending shivers over her spine.
"What's happening, sir?" Lorna asked amazed by the man who pulled her though the forest.
"Some Critters crashed in the Gamma Forests. Silly things, they forgot to refill their tanks."
"Their tanks, sir?"
"Yes, their petrol tanks. They mistaked the Gamma Forests as a station where they could refill. We just need to collect them all up and convince them to leave, maybe give them some petrol as well." The man explain, tugging them behind a bush to so they could catch their breaths.
"Shouldn't we attack then? Or run away?" Lorna asked looking at the man with an air of curiosity.
"Rule -, never run when you're scared. And killing is never the solution. They came by accident, they are innocent. Now, their spaceship is over there, if we can break in, we can send out a signal and they'll, hopefully, come back to the ship." The man looked down at the girl, expectantly.
"We need the Doctor." Lorna said proudly, remembering all the stories her mother had told her as a child.
"I am the Doctor."
"Will you save us, Doctor?"
"Yes. Yes, I think I will, Lorna Bucket." He said enveloping her hand with his, "Don't tell your mother that we're breaking in! She wouldn't be happy!"
They ran over a hill towards a large space ship. It was a deep green thing made of large sheets of something that looked like metal but surely wasn't. A large glass light substance stretched over the top of the ship, a small ledge edging its way around the bottom of the window. One would think this ledge would be inconvenient, but the Critters obviously did not find it to be so.

"Kat? Kat are you out there? …Kat?" Kat's mother called, as she stepped out cautiously into the green shrubbery surrounding her home. Another rustle came from the dark green bush. Kat's mother gasped, as she spun around and stared at it. "Who's there? I'm telling you, this is not funny, come out at once! ...hello? Please, who's there?" The leaves of a tree hanging above her began to shift, Kat's mother moved backwards, shocked and scared.
That's when a leafy hand reached out, and covered Kat's mothers mouth. Leaves choked down her throat, preventing her breath and her calling for help. Of course, with her lack of oxygen, everything around her went completely black, as she fainted.
