A/N: I hope nobody kills me because I'm changing a lot in the story, the function of the Silence and the Pandorica change a bit, and I borrow a few things from Doomsday. Please don't kill me! Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who
The first thing Amy saw was a great gray box with circular carvings on its sides. There was nobody else there.
"Where in all of England are we?"
"Rory, I don't think we're in England anymore." Rory snorted.
Amy steooed closer to the box and frowned at it. "It looks just like my fairytale book of the the Pandorica."
"The Pandorica?"
"Yeah. You know the one. The one about the terrible nameless beast?" She walked toward it almost transfixed. "A horrible nameless creature soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world. They say the ancients defeated it and trapped it in the Pandorica."
Amelia rested a hand on the corner of the box. Suddenly it groaned and clicks emitted from the box and the circles started turning like a wheel- glowing a brilliant green.
Amy gasped and moved backwards into Rory. "And now it looks like it's waking up!"
"It's not! The box pricked my finger with a needle!"
Rory looked in horror at her finger which had started to turn red with blood. "You woke it up?!"
"Not on purpose!" She shouted at him but before she could turn her glare fully upon him the box began to open with a shining white light. The two humans were left blinking until their eyes adjusted to the light and when they did, they were horrified.
The Doctor sat strapped into the chair. His usually floppy hair was disheveled and his wrists had been rubbed raw from pulling on his restraints. His eyes had deep purple circles underlining them and a large bruise was forming on one of them.
"Amelia! Thank Gallifrey! I can't get out!"
Rory gaped. "Doctor? Doctor! What? How could I forget?"
Amy shook her head and then glared at the Doctor. "We forgot about you!"
"That would be the memory sweep. Sorry. I didn't do it, they did, the Shadow Proclamation and the Daleks and every evil thing I've ever vanquished."
"What about the big ugly ogres that decided my wife was a wonderful target?"
"Too be fair, that wasn't me, that was the Silence. Okay, maybe it was because of me. The Silence kidnapped Amelia at birth, but a wonderful woman named River Song rescued you and hid you with your stepmother. But, I um, I called attention to you again because I ran into you and I thought I could keep you safe. It didn't work out at all."
"Why did these Silence people want me?"
"Well, you are the Princess of Scotland and my goddaughter. They thought that they could take you and turn you into an assassin that could kill me. But, River saved you."
"Who is River?" "We don't have the time I need to get out and close the crack! That's where all the things chasing you are coming from!" Rory stepped forward and began to fumble with the strange restraints.
"Doctor? Why are you hurt?"
"The Pandorica. It doesn't let you sleep and it won't let you die. Of course, it doesn't let you heal properly either. That's never going to work, Rory. Check my pocket. My sonic screwdriver is in it."
"Your what?"
"His wand!" Amy shouted.
"Oh."
He dug into the pocket and his arm disappeared up to his elbow.
"Wha?"
"Bigger on the inside, now hurry up!"
"H- how did Amy open the box?"
Rory's arm brushed against something that felt like a parchment-like bag filled with rounds things.
"Same DNA as her- sort of. She's got a bit of fairy blood in her. All the royals do, and only fairies can open the box, even if they have little or no magic."
Rory finally took out the wand and gave it to the Doctor. The Doctor pointed it at himself and the restraints opened with a flash. Some sound suddenly began ringing out. Rory covered his ears.
"Those are the alarms! We don't have much time!" The Doctor shouted.
He finished escaping fairly quickly and as the two men turned towards Amy, a nasally voice snarled, "Funny, a Time Lord that's running out of time."
The Doctor pointed his wand at them threateningly, his brow was furrowed and his expression had morphed into a terrifying snarl. "Let her go."
Rory turned white at the sight of his bride clutched in the grasp of the meaty fingers of a disgusting ogre. The demon that had been following them had a knife pressed against Amy's pale throat.
Rory's stomach flipped and his skin crawled at the sight of the second ogre sniffing tentatively at Amelia's red hair. She hissed at it and the ogre grunted but backed off.
"Don't move Doctor or your goddaughter dies."
"I don't need to move." The Doctor growled and then he smirked as a flash of light enveloped the newlyweds and the Doctor.

Amelia blinked, they were back in the bell tower. He must have overridden the spell on the teleport.
The Doctor grabbed Rory and her hand before shouting, "Run!"
They pounded down the stairs and straight to the crack on the far side of the now human-less chapel.
"I need to close the crack! It's a portal into another world! I'll need to close it from the inside, so you stay here and stay safe! Whatever you do, don't follow me!"
The trio skittered to a stop by the far wall. "You'll come back, right?"
The Doctor avoided her eyes as he scanned the wall with his wand.
"Doctor." Rory said forcefully.
The Doctor turned. "You won't need me Pond, you won't need your imaginary godfather/friend. As soon as I activate it, the crack will close with me on the other side. You will finally be able to go back to your parents."
"Doctor. No, you're not going to do that."
He turned big sad eyes at her. "Oh Pond. I'll be fine. I've been running all of my long life. Maybe it's time to go."
"What's on the other side, Doctor? And don't lie to us." Rory asked.
"The void. A living hell, and that's why you can't follow me."
"Wait! Doctor!" Amelia shouted, but the Doctor had leapt in and with a shuddering groan it started to close. They heard the footsteps of something heavy and then an ogre flew by them shouting in anger.
"Amy! I think they're going back in before it closes! Get down!" A tearing wind seemed to pull them but only slightly, certainly not as harsh as the wind pulling at the creatures that had come from the Void.
Amy stood up, her eyes flaring. "Doctor! Come back to us! You don't belong there!" She screamed over the wind's noise.
A thought occurred to her. "If you remain there, the crack won't close! You belong on this side!"
She didn't know if her words were even reaching him. Rory pulled her back flat upon the ground as the demon was pulled by. They were running out of time.
"I don't think his wand is going to get him out of it this time." Rory said sorrowfully.
"It's a Sonic Screwdriver!" Amy said, frustration leaking through her voice.
The last few escaped creatures were sucked in and as the crack began to close, Amy shouted, "Fish Fingers and Custard, Doctor! Please!"
The crack seemed to be jamming, it couldn't close like Amy had theorized. A hand suddenly poked out. His long fingers were groping for a hand hold.
Rory and Amy launched forward at the same time. They both grabbed his arm and pulled with all their might. Something though, was pulling him back.
Their feet skittered uselessly on the floor and then Rory straining with effort gave one last final yank.
There was a strange sound and suddenly they fell backwards as the Doctor shot towards them and fell in a heap.
The crack shone gold and white as it finally faded from view and disappeared. It was gone.
