You held your breath, awaiting the painful impact when you heard the familiar whoozing, groaning sound of the TARDIS. The sound caused the Krylitane to stop its movements and stop running towards you. Your heart stopped and you couldn't help but open your eyes.

It was standing right there in front of you, materialising. You instantly felt relief and safety deep though you as your whole body relaxed. The doctor stepped out along with Yaz and Ryan and of course grandad Graham. You smiled, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Oi! Kidnapping! Holding people at knife point and punching! You're very lucky I haven't called the shadow proclamation and got the Jadoon all over you!" The doctor seethed, pointing her sonic at the Krylitane as she moved between it and yourself.

You smiled slightly, breathing a little easier now the others were here.

"I know that you're a lost Krylitane, away from your flock. I can take you back to them. Back to your own people. But you must promise to never attack some of my friends like that again!" The doctor offered.

"Y..you can get me back to my people?" It asked.

The doctor simply nodded, keeping her arms folded.

The Krylitane didn't move at first but it soon started to morf back into it's policeman form. You took in how these creatures could just change their looks in just a few seconds. It was incredible. Even though most aliens you met ended up being a threat, you could never tear your wonder for them away.

"Right. I'm going to take that as a yes you will come with us without harming anyone else" the doctor smiled.

The policeman nodded slowly, looking down. She walked towards the TARDIS. You followed closely behind, not taking your eyes off the Krylitane. The boy stool close to you too, never leaving sight of the creature. You stepped into the TARDIS and smiled at Harry and the Krylitane's reaction.

The doctor quickly entered different coordinates. As soon as it took off you all held on tightly to whatever object you could find. You were unbelievably happy to be back in the TARDIS. You always thought it sounded stupid and even stupider now that you'd met killer aliens, but getting lost was your biggest fear and it took all your strength not to cry.

The TARDIS landed with a thud, almost sending you all toppling by your feet.

"Right. Out there is a flock of krylitanes. You leave now and don't return. Be with your people and never commit crimes again or I will know and won't hesitate to send a jadoon platoon your way!" The doctor said sternly before she smiled at him.

The Krylitane started walking towards the door but before he could reach the door you shouted out to him.

"Wait!" He instantly turned around "why did you kidnap Harry from his home planet?" You asked.

The policeman looked down, as if ashamed of what he did. He then looked back up to the boy then back at you.

"When I lost my flock I didn't know what to do. So out of instinct I grabbed onto the nearest living organism and teleported far away to see if I could find my people. I didn't mean to. It was just a reaction. And..I got hungry so I thought he would be a nice snack" he said.

You all looked at him horrified before he sighed, turning around and changing back into its silver, winged and horned form. Before it stepped out it turned its face half way.

"I'm sorry for any hurt I caused you. I just wanted to find my people. I'm so thankful you've brought me here. Thank you" he announced, flying out of the TARDIS.

He flew with his flock, a whole group of them together. You smiled a little at the sight then the doctor clicked her fingers and the doors shut closed.

"Right back to planet gloch little Harry!" The doctor beamed, smiling as she entered coordinates.

He smiled at you all as the TARDIS took off, knowing he was heading to his home. You couldn't help but feel happy for him. You couldn't imagine being lost on a completely different planet to your own with no way back! The thought of it simply made your stomach turn. You thought back to being lost back with the Krylitane and Harry. You were trying hard not to breakdown for Harry's sake but being honest he was probably more brave than you.

You sighed as the TARDIS came to a halt. Trying not to think about your fear. Harry practically ran to the door. The doctor walked up with him, smiling as she opened the door.

"Home!" The boy screeched, stepping out of the TARDIS.

"Yep!" The doctor gleamed back.

He hugged the doctor, squeezing her hard before he let go, running off into the distance in pure joy. You smiled, watching him run off to his own people. But you couldn't help but get that sinking feeling out of your head. You were completely lost in god knows where and if the doctor hadn't found you all, it wasn't even the thought of the Krylitane killing you that was scaring you, it was the thought of being stuck in a strange place forever. You hated that damn fear but it really came through today.

"You alright (y/n)?" Graham asked in a grandfatherly way.

You were ripped away from your thoughts as you looked around to see the doctor was back at the consoles, typing away. God knows how long you were just zoned out for.

"Huh..oh Erm...I'm fine..." you stuttered, looking down.

You sighed shaking your head and deciding to tell them of your feelings right now instead of bottling them all up. You looked up and saw the doctor was already standing in front of you with worried eyes. You didn't even hear her walk over to you.

"(Y/n), what's wrong?" The doctor asked.

You stared into her hazel eyes, trying to stop the tears that were brewing in your eyes and desperately trying to get rid of the sinking feeling in your chest. You quickly grabbed onto he doctor, hugging her. She instantly hugged back as your tears fell. You couldn't help but let out a few sobs. You held onto her as you let every emotion you had been holding back out. She rubbed soothing circled with her hand on your back.

"Did the Krylitane do something to you?" She asked in concern.

You shook your head, pulling back a little. You whipped your eyes from the tears.

"No..no I Erm...just forgot how much I hated getting lost.." you replied, whipping away the stray tear. "I had no idea where I was and I'm pretty sure Harry was braver than I was back there"

The doctor smiled, cupping your cheek.

"It's okay. We would always come for you. Always." The doctor said softly.

"You didn't know where I was either though" you replied, sighing and taking a deep breath, trying to stop yourself from hyperventilating.

"The TARDIS helped there. She took us to you." She said.

You smiled, nodding. You really did love this ship. You loved all these people as well, like a family. The family you never had and the family you really needed right now.
