I couldn't believe my eyes. the far as the eye could see, a dusty white desert landscape with the wind gently rippling the sand. I didn't know where to look, I didn't dare blink at the thought of missing something. the deep blue sky filled with stars. I had never seen anything more beautiful. so beautiful it made trance like, I squeezed my little heart shaped locket around my neck I seemed to do it subconsciously as my thoughts turned to my parents still hoping, still wanting to believe that they were out there, somewhere. I immediately snapped out of it when I heard the Doctor chuckling.

    "What?" I asked wondering what was so funny. I gazed up at him, he had a tear in his eye. I thought I must of done something wrong. I gently placed my hand on his arm.

    "Are you okay?" I asked just as gently, I felt strange. I felt sorry for this man and had some feeling towards him, I thought this was weird, I had just met him. he refused to look at me and shook me off. He decided to change the subject.

    "What a lovely necklace" he replied still looking out to the picturesque landscape. I looked away. I didn't want to talk about it. It pained me too much.

    He closed the doors and pulled me back to the console and sat me on the jump seat. After a few moments he broke the silence with a question I hoped he would never ask.

    "Why were you running?" He asked staring down at me as if to see my reaction. He saw me cringe and put a supportive hand on my shoulder to show that it was alright.

    "I was running from the bully." I replied with no emotion in my voice. I knew right then I would have to explain to him my whole story. which strangely I felt comfortable about it.

    I took a deep breathe and choose my words carefully."I was running from this girl who I got kicked out of this care home, where she made my life a living hell. I was her target practice. she took all my clothes and burned them in the garden and said she was celebrating bonfire night, early. That why I'm wearing these tatty things. They're the only things I could afford. But it got worse. Much worse." Tears began meandering down my cheeks as I looked back on the painful memories. I continued my story. "She took me to this house to meet her boyfriend and some other men. I got so scared when they locked me in the bedroom, then..."

    The Doctor cut me off and he forced me to look at him, right into to his eyes, they were filled of worry and concern but at the same time full of kindness and love. "Shadow they didn't did they?"

I looked at me shoes and shook my head as tears were still pouring out of my eyes.

    "No I managed to get out, but I still had a bad beating and I could barely walk. I knew I had to get out of there. Just kept running, I didn't stop. I kept running I-I was so scared.

    " I couldn't take anymore. I began to sob uncontrollably in my hands. I was crying my heart out in front of this complete stranger, I felt so stupid. What must he think of me? The Doctor knelt down next to me and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. I gripped hold of his tweed jacket, I didn't want to let go. His warming body calmed me down and for the first time I felt loved, that I would have someone who would always be there for me.

    There was a calming silence for a few moments. it seemed endless. I didn't want it to end. Unfortunately, it was broken by a cough from behind us. We both turned around.

    "Are you finished?"Amy asked softly, looking at us with a small, confused smile on her lips, her arms crossed besides Rory. The Doctor snapped out of it. "Er yes right."

    "Where are we?" Rory said trying to break the ice. the Doctor let out a big sigh, quickly but gently letting go of me and turned to him.

    "We are on the planet tinslet, this is where the trail leads." He gave a small grin and dragged me out of the door. The ground felt strange. It felt so smooth and soft it felt like walking on a plain of feathers.

    I managed to price my hand free from his grip. He gave me an odd look. I was so confused, a man I had just met, was holding my hand and he looked at me like he knew me, this scared me. I held mylocket close to my chest and looked at the floor. My brain was still trying to process all this new information the fact that 'I WAS ON A DIFFERENT PLANET!' I felt a hand on me shoulder which took me by surprise and me made me jump.

    "Sorry." Amy said apologetically. "I didn't mean to frighten you, I was wondering how are you coping?" she gave me shy smile.

    "Who are you?" I asked with a shaking voice I didn't know why it was shaking. she was taken back by this question

    "What do you mean?"

    "We've just travel through time and space in a bigger on the inside blue box with a man wearing a bow tie and says words I've never even heard of and you acted like it is completely normal!" I semi shouted. I regretting saying almost immediately but I was still trying to get my head around everything that has just happened to me. 'That was shock talking. Wasn't it?'

    "I'm so sorry I didn't mean for it to come out like that, I suppose it sounded better my head." I bowed my head in shame and I was preparing myself for a harsh yelling at. At the care home, there was no care there. If you said anything against them, you would get punished. I always got the worst not because I spoke up to them, they hated me and I hated them. I closed me eyes tightly as I remembered what they did to me.

Amy looked shocked and approached me.

    " Did you think I was going to hurt you?" She spoke softly. "I would never hurt you. I understand what you are going through, you know I was a newbie once too." She smiled as she looked back of fond memories of her and the Doctor. I smiled at her great fully as we continued to follow the Doctor.
