Doctor Who ((with amybri18))

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera got up and followed him, walking closely behind him as he went toward the door. She watched as he tugged the door and it didn't open.


"Well, you said your screwdriver unlocks things. Why don't you use the screwdriver to unlock the door?" Ciera asked as she gave the door a tug herself.

 

[amybri18]

"Oh, yes, of course," he said, pulling out the screwdriver. Why didn't I think of that? he asked himself, Maybe I wanted Ciera to solve something... Or maybe I wasn't thinking straight... Oh, come on Doctor! Stop questioning your actions! Just open the door already!





He pointed his Sonic Screwdriver at the door and it opened immediately, letting the two walk through it easily. They entered a white room, so white it nearly blinded the Doctor.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera followed the Doctor through the door, blinking rapidly at the sheer whiteness of the room. She squinted as her eyes adjusted and she attempted to look around the room, despite the blinding whiteness of it.


"What is with this room?" Ciera said as her eyes finally adjusted. Looking back, she saw that the door had closed and the back of it was also white so that they were now, ultimately, standing in a large white box.

 

[amybri18]

"It is most likely the room in which they were going to- umm- assimilate us in," the Doctor replied, looking around. The room was just a big white box, nothing else. It was sort of comforting that there was no blood, but there was also no one in here. Perhaps it was just a room, nothing more?


The Doctor looked at Ciera. "Listen, this is going to be dangerous. If you don't like this, you won't like any other thing I go on. So, if you don't like it, feel free to go back to your family and forget this whole idea," he told her.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera gave a laugh and said, "Absolutely not. Things are just starting to get interesting. You aren't getting rid of me that easily." She gave him a reassuring smile and walked forward, glancing around with each step she took, blue eyes intent on observing every detail.


Stooping to the floor, she examined the rest of the room, and then looked back to the spot on the floor. "There's a scuff on the floor. Why do so much to keep the rest of the room bleached white and have scuff right in the middle of the floor?" Ciera ran her finger across it and the tile popped open, revealing a passageway. "Well, now that's interesting." Ciera said as a musty wind hit her face.

 

[amybri18]

Man, Ciera was enthusiastic. You aren't getting rid of me that easily. The Doctor couldn't get that thought out of his head. It wasn't as if he wanted to get rid of her, he was just suggesting that she could leave if she wished too. Still, that didn't matter now. The world was being taken over by robots. They needed to act fast.


The Doctor smiled when she found a hidden passage. Maybe this would lead to the base? "Well, there's only one thing for it..." he said, "We go down and follow the path." And with that, the Doctor went into the hole and landed in some sort of gooey liquid.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera jumped down after the Doctor, landing just behind him in the thick liquid. Above all, the stench was the worst. It was like decaying organics bathed in oil and gasoline. "What is this stuff?" Ciera asked as she picked up a hand and shook the gunk off.


She glanced around the passageway, looking in both direction. They seemed to be the same. Both were dark, with absolutely no lighting and both ways were filled with the liquid.

 

[amybri18]

"I have absolutely no idea..." the Doctor said, although he probably should have had some sort of explanation. He decided it was too dark to do anything else, so he brought out his Sonic Screwdriver and light came out, as if it was a torch.


The light showed a tunnel leading towards a vault, which seemed to be covered in smile. The liquid was red and had some pieces of pink in it. Just the sight of it made the Doctor feel sick, but that wasn't the worst of it. Flouting around in the distance were bones which seemed to come from a human. The liquid was blood.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera came to the same conclusion at seemingly the same time as the Doctor. "Oh my god." She gasped as she moved a hand to cover her mouth before remembering that there was also blood on her hand.


"Lets just...get moving." Ciera said as she got onto her hands and knees to crawl due to the small size of the shaft. She tried her best to forget that they were basically swimming in blood as they moved through the shaft.

 

[amybri18]

The Doctor nodded and began to swim towards the vault, trying not to think about the blood. It wasn't too bad, but it still wasn't ideal. Luckily, he wasn't the skirmish type, so managed to get through.


When they reached the vault door, he pushed it a little bit and it immediately opened. "Strange," he stated, "You'd think it was locked..."

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera raised an eyebrow at the unlocked door but crawled after the Doctor anyway. The stench was beginning to become unbearable, and it was starting to make her nauseous, and a bit dizzy.


"You know, when I woke up this morning I didn't exactly think I was going to be crawling through a shaft sull of blood." Ciera said with a small smile.

 

[amybri18]

Inside, the Doctor smiled at her comment, though on the outside, he couldn't. The smell was just too bad. "Let's just hope we find the exit soon," he said, hopefully giving himself good luck.


After a few more minutes of swimming through blood, they came across another door. This one was locked.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera gave a small cough as they neared another door, a locked door. The oxygen levels seemed to be getting lower the farther away from the entrance that they came through got. That either meant that the entire metal casing that they were crawling through was airtight, or they were going underground. Or both.


"Can you get it open?" Ciera asked. She was beginning to get a bit lightheaded.

 

[amybri18]

The Doctor slowly nodded, as if the answer for now was yes, but he wasn't sure. "Umm... I think so..." he said. He wasn't sure if the Sonic Screwdriver would help, because it wasn't exactly a lock. If it was operated by a computer, then maybe he would be able to open it, but what if it wasn;t? There didn't seem to be one of those things you turn, so that option was out.


Unsure of what else to do, the Doctor looked around for a password lock or something like that. No luck. "Maybe is isn't a door?" he thought out loud. "What if we just walked- no, swimmed- into a trap?"

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera was looking around with the Doctor for anything that might unlock the door. She also found nothing a resorted to searching blindly under the blood by running her hands through it. She looked up as she heard the Doctor voice that it might be a trap She stopped searching as she listened. heard


"So if it is a trap, then what are we supposed to do?" Ciera asked as she coughed again. "Oxygen is starting to get really low." She pointed out.

 

[amybri18]

Now the Doctor couldn't breathe. Oxygen was slowly running out: if they didn't move quick, they would die. "Ciera, we need to get out of here," he sated, even though it was pretty obvious. How they could get out? He didn't know. Unless...


"Turn around, swim towards the entrance," the Doctor ordered. He started to swim towards the other door, the open one.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera followed his direction and turned to swim toward the entrance, only to see it shut before she was even able to swim a few feet. "Guess that option is out." Ciera said with a frown.


She looked back at the Doctor and then back to the door. "What are we supposed to do now?" Ciera asked as she finished swimming to the door, turning the handle and finding it to be locked.

 

[amybri18]

Now this was getting tense. Two locked doors, two trapped living creatures and a river of blood. "Umm... We're trapped," the Doctor said in a negative attitude. What else was to say? Well, he could hardly say, We're going to die!!!


There was no lock on the door, so the screwdriver couldn't help this time. Oxygen was running out by the second. If they didn't act fast, they were going to die. The Doctor's two hearts started beating faster and faster, pumping large amounts of blood around his body.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera turned her widened eyes to look at The Doctor. "You think?" She said sarcastically as she continued searching for a way out.


Her hands brushed against a small lever and she pulled it without a second thought. The bottom of the metal tunnel that they were in suddenly dropped out and they began falling through empty space.

 

[amybri18]

The was a sudden rush of terror as the two fell into the bottomless pit. The world was blurring, but that didn't matter, because it was pitch-black anyway. The Doctor tried to ask Ciera what she did, but he couldn't make any noise, apart from screams.


The two soon landed in some more liquid; hopefully not blood this time. After a few minutes of getting his breath back, the Doctor turned to Ciera and asked, "What did you do?"

 

[Shadow Cat]

Ciera had landed on her back. The impact had knocked the air from her lungs and she had to gasp for a moment to catch her breath. Luckily this liquid was deeper so it cushioned the impact considerably, though it hadn't stopped her from hitting the bottom.


She sat up in the new liquid, this one clear. She was reluctant to call it water, however for fear that it wasn't water. "There was a switch and I flipped it." Ciera said as she caught her breath.

 

[amybri18]

The Doctor giggled slightly, but stopped when he realized this wasn't the time. This liquid they were in definitely wasn't blood: it wasn't thick enough. He doubted it was water... perhaps some sort of acid? A safe one, that doesn't melt you... maybe it only melted certain things?


He wasn't sure what it was, but that didn't matter. All that mattered for the moment was whether or not Ciera was safe. "Are you ok?" the Doctor asked, "Does anything hurt?"

 

[Shadow Cat]

"Just my back. I landed on it." Ciera explained as she looked around. This new place that were in was a lot more roomy. It seemed to be boxed shaped, though it was too large to tell for certain.


The liquid around them seemed to only put up resistance to fast movements, sort of like corn starch and water. Otherwise it resembled water in most of its properties. She stopped looking around for a moment and put a hand on her back as she felt for any sore spots. She winced as she found one, which evidently seemed to be the place the ground had hit the hardest.

 

[amybri18]

"Let me have a look..." he said calmly, moving behind her. He whispered a quick apology that he was going to lift up the back of her top, just to see if anything was bad. The Doctor brought out his screwdriver to act as a light (yes, it can do that, I looked it up) to see if anything was bad.


There was a small injury, but nothing too serious. It would heal in no time, so there was nothing to worry about. Besides, there was no blood. "It should be alright, just don't touch it too much," he told her.

 

[Shadow Cat]

"Okay." Ciera replied as the Doctor put the back of her shirt back down and moved out from behind her. Looking around again, she stood up with a small wince. The liquid came about to shins.


"So." Ciera began, "any idea where we are?"
