The Guy Under the Silver Tree
Hey, it's PixieHero. I'm starting to think this is just my book now. We have the Tenth Doctor from Doctor who for you to enjoy.
The Doctor and his three friends, Jake, Jordan, and Josh, were all sitting at an outside cafe. They were enjoying the little time they had before they had to go stop some alien guy from destroying the world blah blah blah something else whatever. The were talking and laughing and having a good time.
Something about this cafe the Doctor liked in particular was a tree next to it. It was a tree with silver leaves, exactly like the ones on Gallifrey. He glanced over to said tree to find a man staring at him intently. The Doctor looked away, unnerved a bit by this stranger. They continued talking a while longer, but soon it was time to go save the world, again.

This mission didn't go exactly as smoothly as the Doctor had hoped. They had triggered almost every alarm system imaginable and were currently being chased by an army of security guards. "Stop them! Stop them!" they heard the guy in charge yelling.
They heard guns firing when one of the companions fell, dead before he hit the ground. Josh and Jake stared in horror at their fallen friend, the Doctor suddenly very angry at these security guards. There was no time to mourn Jordan, however, and they turned to keep running.
For some stupid reason, the building had been built like a labyrinth, dead ends and weird turns all over. There was a particularly long hallway they had to run through. the Doctor knew the danger of it, if they didn't get to the other side before the guys with guns came, it was the perfect place for an execution. But it was the only way out, so they had to keep going.
They had almost made it to the end when the security guards came to the hallway. They fired almost immediately, hitting Josh just as he rounded the corner. It happened so fast, the Doctor and Jake didn't register what had happened until they were around the next corner. Jake stopped and looked ahead with a blank stare.
"Jake, come on," the Doctor said, looking back, but Jake stood perfectly still.
"They killed them," he whispered. The guards were getting closer now.
"I know," the Doctor said, putting his hands on Jake's shoulders. "They'll kill us too unless we keep going." But Jake wouldn't move. He stayed right where he was, even as the guards rounded the corner. They shot Jake without a moment's hesitation, but they did hesitate about shooting the Doctor.
"Shoot the Doctor!" the guy in charge yelled. But they were still unsure. The Doctor turned and ran, thinking he recognized the leader. "Give me that gun!" the leader said, pulling the gun out of the hands of one of the guards. He fired and hit the Doctor in the arm.
The Doctor felt the pain as soon as the bullet hit. He bit back the pain as he rounded another corner into... a dead end. Clutching his arm to try and stop the bleeding, he turned to face the leader who had shot him. Two guards pinned the Doctor's arms to his sides so he couldn't do anything as the leader stepped closer. He took the butt of his gun and hit the Doctor square on the face.
As he lost consciousness, the Doctor realized where he saw the leader before. It was the guy under the silver tree by the cafe.
