A/N: Two updates in a day! I'm on a roll! Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who
Footsteps pounded along the dirt path of the dark forest. Birds flew from the trees as their heaving breaths startled the bird's peaceful slumber. A flash of flying red hair spooked a peaceful blue jay.
A squirrel chittered angrily as the the two creatures ran down the path. A deer paused from his munching of leaves when a doe and fawn bounded from the clearing in alarm as the two creatures fled past them.
Noise erupted in the woods, but quickly died down again as a third party ran past.
It was a enormous black wolf, but it's glowing orange eyes gave away it's unnatural intelligence.
The animals of the forest froze in mid-flight until the beast lumbered past bringing the terror and darkness with it.
The sun came out as the horrible thing faded from sound and view.
The birds began their song again but there was still an underlying feeling of tension and foreboding.
A storm was coming.
DWDWDWDWDWDW
The Doctor paused as they reached the edge of the forest, there was a very still and quiet town.
"Amy, what market? I don't see any market."
"Oi! The market's on the north side of town! That's where the people from Scotland come and trade with England."
"Oh, okay. We need to get the Atraxi's attention. They'll be looking for magical activity, I'll just use my sonic, so that when Prisoner 0 catches up, they'll find him."
"Atraxi?"
"Guards."
Amy nodded and turned to the forest again. "Something's wrong."
"Hmm? What?"
"The birds... They're quiet. They're never quiet."
The Doctor turned as a hulking beast emerged from the forest. Glowing orange eyes, massive elongated fangs, and shaggy blue/black fur in great mangled tufts up and down its back. It snarled at them and bared its massive fangs at them.
"Right."
Amy shrank back against the Doctor. "What does that Scotland place look like?"
"We're doing this now?!"
"Well, what else are we gonna do?!"
The Doctor began fiddling with his sonic. "Well, there aren't as many trees, big mountains- no, huge mountains..."
He pointed his wand (it was a wand not a sonic thingy!) the wand made a whirring noise and the beast's ears flattened.
It snarled again. But, Amelia had drifted as Prisoner 0 paced back and forth.
"Well, in Scotland there are these big elk and they live on the moors, the moors are beautiful absolutely stunning! They're-" "Wide open plains, that stretch in endless rolling hills of waving grasses."
"What?" The Doctor muttered staring at Amelia in shock. "How'd you know that?!"
Amelia snapped back to reality. "What?"
"No. No! That can't be right!" The Doctor said still looking at her in shock.
The beast charged.
"Come on!" Shouted Amy and she tugged the stunned Doctor along behind her.
"What? What?! What?!"
The beast snapped at their heels and suddenly it was the Doctor pulling Amy along now past the village buildings.
Amy hiked up her skirts and tried to ignore the shrieks of terror that emitted from the houses they passed. Amelia ducked into a empty shack and she tentatively peeked around the corner.
"How in Rassilion's name did you know what Scotland looks like?! You've never even been there before!"
"What? Scotland? What about it?"
Amelia turned to glare at the Doctor, "I haven't the faintest idea of what Scotland looks like besides what you've told me!"
The Doctor's boyish features were etched with concern and confusion. "That's not-"
"Oh! Oh, oh! Help! Help! There's a giant wolf!"
The Doctor sprung into action at the sound of a woman's voice. He found a grey-haired grandmotherly lady laying in the dust of the road.
Amelia shouted and ran forwards. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." The woman managed to get to her feet. She shakily raised her hands to her face. "What was it?"
"It was something called Prisoner 0. It's very dangerous."
The Doctor's eyes widened in alarm and he reached to pull Amelia back right as the woman lowered her hand to reveal her vibrant orange eyes. She growled with large fangs that had suddenly protruded from her mouth, "Yes, I am."
Amelia screamed and the pair took off down the street but they ran into an obstacle. Mainly, a person. A person with flat sandy brown hair, a rather unremarkable face, and an astounding nose.
"Amy?! What?"
Amy laughed in relief as she had almost expected it to be Prisoner 0 even though she was still behind them.
"Thank god, Rory, it's Prisoner 0!"
The Doctor who had fallen instead on the ground, dusted himself off and inspected Rory curiously. Amy righted herself instead of draped all over Rory like she had been a minute ago.
"Doctor this is Rory, he's well..."
"Her boyfriend."
"Sort of."
Rory frowned as he looked at the Doctor. "Oh my god. That's him, that's the Doctor. The Raggedy Doctor. He's real!"
"Of course I'm real, why wouldn't I be real? Now run!"
"What?"
Amy grabbed Rory's arm and they followed the Doctor to a grassy open park in the town square.
The Doctor spun to face the woman that was Prisoner 0 with his wand pointed in the air.
"The Atraxi are looking for magic! And guess what? I have a Sonic Screwdriver!"
Prisoner 0 looked confused before the Doctor huffed but said, "Fine. A wand!"
He pointed it in the air and great golden spurts of light flew from it in a cascade of shimmering fairy dust. Strange things started happening, like the wheels on carriages started rolling on their own and the new strange 'gas-powered' lights were lit and then unlit.
The woman snarled and then morphed into the wolf again. Amy yelped and pushed Rory over as the beast bounded over to them and the Doctor jumped. The beast sailed past them and ripped the sonic from the Doctor's thin spindly fingers.
The sonic was dropped uncaringly on the grass. It was snapped in two.
"My sonic! I loved my sonic!"
The wolf transformed into a young brunette woman.
"Oops." She said snidely as the Doctor frowned.
But before anything could happen a familiar black fairy shimmered into existence. The fairy pointed her wand (this wand seemed more wand-like to Amy. It was made of dark oak wood with carvings etched in it) at Prisoner 0 and a white-light enveloped Prisoner 0.
Prisoner 0 transformed into the black shapeless demon it had been with the glowing orange eyes and jagged sharp teeth.
It wailed in fury but right before it was sucked back into its prison, the thing glared at the Doctor.
"They will find you, Doctor, and Silence will fall!"
The creature disappeared. The fairy nodded in satisfaction.
"Prisoner 0 has been apprehended."
She cocked her head as she looked at the Doctor. "Did Prisoner 0 call you the Doctor?"
The Doctor jumped slightly.
"No!" He squeaked.
"Spell confirms, you are lying. You are the Doctor, are you not?"
Rory and Amy looked in bewilderment from the Doctor to the fairy dressed all in black.
"Um, Doctor? What?"
The Doctor glared at Rory, "Shut up!"
But it was too late. "You are the Doctor, the wanted last Time lord of Gallifrey. Guilty of-"
"Wait! Before you get all into that stuff and arrest me, I have one last thing to say to you!"
The fairy frowned.
"Bye!" The Doctor shouted.
He vanished in a swirling golden light which bent around him like a fractured mirror.
Amy and Rory looked at each other in puzzlement.
