Her Secrets {Doctor Who FanFic}

World War Three

We watched in horror as the creature dropped Ganesh as it was engulfed in some sort of electrical current. We took the opportunity to run. As we ran out into the hall, Harriet stopped, looking a bit distraught. "No, wait. They're still in there. The emergency protocols. We need them." I turned to her in disbelief. We were about to be murdered and she was worried about stupid protocols. She ran back but quickly turned around as the green monster came into view. We all took off, running through various rooms, closing doors that were only smashed to bits moments later.

We continued to run until we came to locked door. Rose tried to open it while I looked for something to defend us against the alien. Suddenly there was the ding of the elevator. I looked up and saw the Doctor standing there with his hands behind his back and a smug smile on his face. "Hello!" He caught my eye and then looked down, pressing his sonic screwdriver against the panel. As he did that, Harriet and Rose pulled me out of the room. I was slightly grateful for his presence, seeing as he had distracted the creature enough for us to make our escape.

After a few more minutes of running, we found ourselves in a sitting room. There was a large settee, drinks cabinet, and a folding screen by the window to keep out the draughts. "Hide!" Rose exclaimed as she ran behind the cabinet. Harriet opted for the screen and I ran to the curtains. Just then, the female creature entered the room.

"Oh, such fun. Little human children, where are you? Sweet little humeykins, come to me. Let me kiss you better. Kiss you with my big, green lips." I scowled in disgust. My heartbeat quickened when the curtain moved. Thinking it had found me, I prepared to defend myself. Much to my relief, it was just Rose. We shared a small smile and grabbed each other's hand, hoping we wouldn't be found.

It seemed as if no time passed when I heard two sets of feet enter the room. If there were more of them, then we were screwed. "My brothers." I glanced at Rose who's worried expression mirrored mine.

"Happy hunting?"

"It's wonderful. The more you prolong it, the more they stink."

"Sweat and fear."

"I can smell an old girl. Stale bird and brittle bones."

"And two ripe youngsters, all hormones and adrenalin. Fresh enough to bend before they snap," the female said as she pulled back the curtain. Rose screamed and I jumped in front of her. "Oh, look at this. This one will be last," she said as she reached for me. Just then, Harriet jumped out of her hiding place.

"No! Take me first! Take me!" I glanced at her in admiration. The creatures began to move towards her but before they had made any real distance, the Doctor charged in with a fire extinguisher. He then sprayed one of them with CO2.

"Out, with me!" Rose and I pulled the curtain over the female alien before running to the Doctor. Harriet met us there. "Who the hell are you?"

"Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North."

"Nice to meet you."

"Likewise." The Doctor jiggled the extinguisher before tossing it to one of the aliens when it had been used up. Without a word, we all raced into the corridor.

"We need to head to the Cabinet Room."

"The Emergency Protocols are in there. They give instructions for aliens."

"Harriet Jones, I like you."

"And I like you," she replied.

"That's great but we still have those things chasing us," I snapped before I really took off, leading them back to the Cabinet Room.

As we ran, three of the creatures barreled after us. When we finally reached it, the Doctor soniced the door and grabbed a bottle from the side table and stood in the doorway as they approached. "One more move and my sonic device will triplicate the flammability of this alcohol. Whoof, we all go up. So back off." The creatures took a step back into the outer office. "Right then. Question time. Who exactly are the Slitheen?"
