Don't hate Alfie, he's having it bad this adventure :)

The Doctor and Alfie walked down the street with urgency, they were headed towards Klaus's house. Rebekah had gone ahead to try and find her brother.

"I thought their race died out not long after the Time War, like so many others" Alfie said as he walked beside the Doctor. He took out his phone and sent a message to Celeste.

"I did too but it seems a few of them managed to escape to somewhere else." The Doctor spoke, his mind working quick on how they could manage the situation. Merzosts were vicious creatures, intent on surviving no matter what. If they would agree, he could find them a different sustainable planet, one that would give them a chance at life without harming others.

"I've sent the message to Feisty and Rebekah should be at the house by now." Alfie quickened his pace, focusing as he uses the links between him and his bonded.

Get back to the house quick Cel, we know what we're dealing with.

I'm on my way.

"Good. We need to find her quickly; I don't want them to harm her."

"They won't get her, don't worry. She's on the lookout." Alfie's words reassured the Doctor, and he felt a little less tense as he hurried through the quarter. 

**************

Klaus and Celeste enter the hybrid's living room, Elijah not far behind them. Worry fills Klaus and Celeste's faces at the pale look on Alfie's face. Immediately, Celeste goes to him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she hugs him tight. She doesn't need to ask any questions; she just knows that her bonded needs her. Her suspicions are confirmed as Alfie tightly pulls her against him, burying his head in the crook of his neck.

"What happened?" Klaus asks, hesitation showing in his voice. Elijah's eyes were on his doppelganger, watching the way he seemed to cling to Celeste, as if she was his anchor keeping him steady. Jealously flared up in the vampire and he looked away.

"Thanks to your sister, we found out what aliens are in New Orleans." The Doctor told them, his eyes also on Alfie, concerned for the man he saw as a brother. "We thought they were extinct, their planet burnt during the Time War."

Celeste frowned as she stroked Alfie's hair, shifting slightly on his lap so she could see the Doctor. Alfie let out a small noise of protest when she moved but she murmured soft soothing words of comfort, the Time Lord relaxing.

"They're called Merzosts. A carnivore species with the ability to shapeshift. They have a toxin that runs through their blood, it's toxic to Time Lord's." Understanding runs through Celeste as the Alfie's shaken state. She sends waves of love down their bond, feeling him squeeze her side gently in appreciation.
