The pub was full of men playing pool, darts and getting excessively drunk. They all wore red football-like jumpers, all sporting 'Rory's Stag' and various numbers depending on what time they'd turned up. Rory was on the phone, trying to talk to his wife-to-be, but it had gone straight to answer-phone.
"Hey...! It's me! Hello! How are you?" He asked, "The reason for this call is because I haven't told you for seven hours that I love you, which is a scandal, and even if we weren't getting married tomorrow, I'd ask you to marry me anyway." Behind him a giant cardboard cake was being wheeled in, his friends pointing and whispering gleefully at the cake and the unexpecting stag of the night, "Yes, I would, because you are smashing." One of then began nudging him and he turned around, his mouth dropping, "Oh... Oh. Oh, blimey. I've... I've... I-I-I... I'll see you tomorrow." 'The Stripper' began playing as the men all began chanting.
"Out! Out! Out!" They all stopped as a man with floppy hair and a bow tie popped out of the top. Everyone fell silent as Rory shook his head in disbelief at the Doctor, who looked around bemused before standing up fully and turning to see Rory staring back at him.
"Rory!" He exclaimed as someone finally turned off the music, "That's a relief. I thought I'd burst out of the wrong cake. Again." He turned to look at the crowd, "That reminds me, there's a girl outside in a bikini. Could someone let her in, give her a jumper? Lucy. Lovely girl. Diabetic," he whispered, "Now, then. Rory." He began clapping, "We need to talk about your fiancé." Rory smiled, motioning to the picture of him and Amy on his chest, "She tried to kiss me." The crowd gasped and Rory's face fell, "Tell you what, though. You're a lucky man - she's a great kisser." Someone dropped a glass and everyone stared at the Doctor, shocked and slightly annoyed at his timing. Realising what he said, he turned back to Rory, "Funny how you can say something in your head and it SOUNDS fine..." He was interrupted by Danni, who popped up out of the top of the cake next to him. She grinned at him.
"Hello!" She cried, "I appear to be in a cake, why am I in a cake?" She looked around and saw Rory, looking upset and obviously on his stag do. She waved at him, "Ha, it's Rory! Hello Rory, remember me? Oh, wait, have you even met me yet?" She frowned at the silence in the room, "Did he..." She pointed to the Doctor and Rory nodded. She rolled her eyes and hit him on the arm.
"Ow!" The Doctor cried, rubbing the area, "What was that for?"
"For your lack of tack!" He looked ready to protest, then nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, okay."

Danni sat on the pilot seat, watching Amy pace around the console, biting her nails nervously as Rory looked down through the clear floor at the Doctor. The Doctor was currently fixing... something, she wasn't sure what but there was a lot of sparks and mini-explosions going on around him as he dangled from a harness underneath the console.
"Why's he doing this?" Amy whispered to Danni, who smiled brightly.
"To save your relationship. And because you kissed him." Amy looked at her, alarmed.
"Look, about that..." Danni shrugged.
"Don't worry about it. I'll just kiss Rory, we'll be even and everything will go back to normal." Amy looked at her, surprised at her dismissal then narrowed her eyes at what she had suggested.
"Excuse me?" Danni smiled knowingly.
"See? That's why he's doing this." Amy continued to pace, but this time eyeing her suspiciously.
"Oh! The life out there, it dazzles." He explained, "I mean, it blinds you to the things that are important. I've seen it devour relationships and plans..." Something by him exploded, causing Rory to jump in surprise, "Ohhh! It's meant to do that." He told them, "...because for one person to have seen all that, to taste the glory and then go back, it WILL tear you apart." He told the bluntly, "So...I'm sending you somewhere. Together."
"Whoa! What, like a date?" Amy exclaimed.
"Anywhere you want, any time you want." He jumped off the harness,"One condition - it has to be amazing." He began walking up the stairs to join them around the console, "The Moulin Rouge in 1890! The first Olympic Games!" He grabbed Danni and pulled her off her chair, causing her to giggle in surprise as he dipped her.
"Can we go to Moulin Rouge even if they don't choose it?" She asked. He bopped her on her nose then spun her away.
"If you so wish, Danni-Girl." He told her before walking up to Rory, "Think of it as a wedding present, because, frankly, it's either this or tokens." He patted him on the arm as Rory stared, stunned, "It's a lot to take in, isn't it?" He headed up the stairs to the hallway into the TARDIS's main body, "Tiny box, huge room inside. What's that about? Let me explain."
"It's another dimension." Rory told him simply. The Doctor began walking down the stairs towards him.
"It's basically another dimen... What?" He paused half-way down, very confused.
"After Prisoner Zero, I've been reading up on all the latest scientific theories; FTL travel, parallel universes." Rory explained. The Doctor began walking towards him purposefully.
"I like the bit when someone says, 'It's bigger on the inside!' I always look forward to that." He stopped so their faces were almost touching, Rory surprised and slightly intimidated over how close he had actually gotten.
"It's bigger on the inside!" Danni cried from around the console, waving her arms excitedly. The Doctor pulled back from Rory and smiled at her.
"See? That's the best part!" He exclaimed.
"So," Amy drawled back, trying to get them back on track, "this date. I'm kind of done with running down corridors. What do you think, Rory?" She walked around the console, ending up right next to her fiancé. The Doctor smirked as he approached Danni, her turning to smile up at him.
"How about somewhere... romantic?" He leant over her, pressing her against the console. She blushed at the contact as he flicked a switch, setting the TARDIS in motion.
~0~0~0~
The TARDIS materialised in the middle of a busy marketplace and as the Doctor stepped out, no one paid any attention to him. He stopped in the front of door, opening his arms wide and stopping anyone else coming out.
"Venice!" He cried out joyfully before stepping forward, "Venezia! La Serenissima! Impossible city. Preposterous city!" Rory, Amy and Danni looked around amazed, "Founded by refugees running from Attila the Hun. It was just a collection of little wooden huts in the marsh, but became one of the most powerful cities in the world." He took Danni's hand and began walking through the market, "Constantly being invaded, constantly flooding... constantly... Just beautiful! Oh, you gotta love Venice. And so many people did. Byron, Napoleon, Casanova. Oooh, that reminds me." He paused and lifted up Danni's arm as he checked his watch, "1580. That's all right. Casanova doesn't get born for 145 years. Don't want to run into him. I owe him a chicken."
"Why?" Danni asked, "I've always wondered why you owe him a chicken."
"There was a card game involved. I'd rather not talk about it." He told her before walking off.
"You owe Casanova a chicken?" Rory called, still not able to get his head around it.
"Long story. We had a bet." The Doctor called back. A man dressed in black finery carrying a 16th century clipboard stepped out in front of the Doctor and Danni, stopping them in their tracks.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" He repeated, "Papers, if you please. Proof of residency, current bill of medical inspection." The Doctor took out his psychic paper out and showed it to the official-looking man with a pointed look at Rory and Amy.
"There you go, fella." The man took the paper, his eyes widening as he read it, "All to your satisfaction, I think you'll find." He looked between the crowd before bowing for the Doctor.
"I am so sorry, Your Holiness. I didn't realise." The Doctor made a vague cross-sign over the man, still looking a the couple with a proud look on his face.
"No worries. You were just doing your job." He turned to the man, "Sorry, what exactly is your job?"
"Checking for aliens, visitors from foreign lands what might bring the plague with them."
"Oh, that's nice See where you bring me?" Amy cried out as she slapped the Doctor's arm annoyed, "The plague!"
"Don't worry, Viscountess." He bowed for Amy and she sighed in relief, "No, we're under quarantine here, no-one comes in, no-one goes out, and all because of the grace and wisdom of our patron, Signora Rosanna Calvierri." He motioned to the crest on the clipboard with the psychic paper.
"How interesting. I heard the plague died out years ago." The Doctor pointed out, a frown on his face now he knew something was wrong.
"Not out there." The official pointed out across the canal, "No, Signora Calvierri has seen it with her own eyes. Streets are piled high with bodies, she said."
"Did she, now?" Rory took the paper off the official as the Doctor and Danni strode off, Amy following them.
"According to this, I am your eunuch!" Rory shouted angrily after them. Amy paused to look at him.
"Oh, yeah, I'll explain later." She told him before continuing on.
"Who was I?" Danni asked the Doctor, who looked down at her as they walked towards a very official looking building.
"Oh, er... I can't remember." He brushed off and her eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"Fine, I'll ask Rory, and he'll tell me." She replied.
"You were a princess. The princess of France." She smiled wildly.
"Aww, aren't you the sweetest Time Lord?" She crowed, kissing him on the cheek. He beamed as they reached the canal, leaning over the stone railings to look at the canal below. Amy and Rory joined them, Amy laughing as Danni's legs swung in the air comically. There appeared to be a procession of women across the room, all in white ornate dresses with grey veils. People had stopped what they were doing to watch them, showing it to be a common occurrence. The Doctor pushed himself up as a man ran over and started lifting the veils of the girls.
"What do you want?" The voice of the woman leading them barely made it over, but the man's was very clear.
"Where's my Isabella?" He cried, ignoring her protests as he continued to look under each veil, pausing as he appeared to find her, "It's me!" He told her as she backed away.
"We need to get over there." Danni whispered and the Doctor nodded, pulling her away as Amy and Rory watched on, oblivious.
~0~0~0~
The man from before walked down a passageway in the residential area of Venice, rubbing his head in frustration as the Doctor and Danni caught up with him, the Doctor jumping onto the bottom of a set of steps.
"Who were those girls?" He asked, startling the man who turned to look at the pair.
"I thought everyone knew about the Calvierri school." He replied, confused.
"It's our first day here." He replied, stepping down and walked closer to the man, "Parents do all sorts of things to get their children into good schools. They move house, they change religion." He leant in slightly as someone walked past, "So why are you trying to get her out?" He whispered.
"Something happens in there. Something magical, something evil. My own daughter didn't recognise me. And the girl who pushed me away, her face... like an animal." He told them, scared. The Doctor placed an arm around his shoulder.
"I think it's time I met this Signora Calvierri."
~0~0~0~
Danni and the Doctor watched the man, Guido, approach the guards standing outside the school purposefully.
"You have my daughter." He told them, sprinting to the locked gates behind them, "Isabella!"
"You're not coming in, stop there! We've told you..." One of the guards replied, blocking his way as the Doctor held up his finger to his lips and the pair snuck along the side of the building, right on the edge of the canal.
"You have my daughter. Isabella! I demand you let me see my daughter." Guido continued to provide a distraction as the Doctor soniced open another pair of gates, letting them into the grounds and up to a door.
"In here?" He asked and she nodded with a smile. He had been asking her what to do and where to go since they'd gone to Guido's to form the plan they had. She had been tempted to just tell him about the fish-people but then again he seemed so happy on the show when he found the 'vampire' girls she didn't want to take that away from him. And it was like Amy said, she should live in the moment. She had been trying, the last few times they'd been anywhere she just took it as all new. Although, in fairness, she hadn't recognised all the places Ten had taken here, and Eleven had taken her for ice cream again. This was the first time she'd been back in an episode for a while, actually...
The Doctor opened the door and they were greeted by a small, dark, stone stairway. The Doctor led her down them, holding his hand out for hers as they entered a small chamber with three wooden doors and a mirror. The Doctor caught his reflection in the mirror and walked up to it, checking out his reflected.
"Hello, handsome." He straightened his tie and then checked his teeth. Danni rolled her eyes.
"Yes, you're very pretty." She told him and he pulled her in front of him, just her head and her shoulders showing compared to his torso.
"Not as pretty as you." He replied and she blushed.
"Stop it." She scolded lightly, "Anyway, you really should turn around now." He frowned, looking at the reflection closely.
"Why?"
"Who are you?" A chorus asked from behind them. He turned around, startled and stared at the four girls in white clothing stood behind them. He looked back into the mirror, where they were not reflected, and back again.
"How are you doing that?" He asked, " I... am... loving it. You're like Houdini, only five scary girls, only he was shorter. Will be shorter. I'm rambling."
"I'll ask you again, signor. Who are you?" The girls asked in unison.
"Why don't you check this out?" He pulled out a little black wallet, one he obviously thought was his psychic paper and showed it to them. Danni pulled his arm down.
"That's a library card, sweetie." She told him. He turned it and saw the picture of his first self staring back at him.
"Of course, it's with..." He motioned to his nose and Danni smacked his arm hard.
"Rude!" She scolded and he beamed at her.
"He's... I need a spare. Pale, creepy girls who don't like sunlight and can't be seen in..." He looked at the mirror again, laughing happily before looking at Danni, "Are they?"
"Yep." She replied and he clapped happily.
"But the city. Why shut down the city? Unless..."
"Leave now, signor, or we shall call for the steward..." They smiled, all looking very creepy, "if you are lucky."
"Ooh!" The Doctor replied, a grin on his face as a shiver ran down his spine. They all bared their fangs and began hissing as they approached the pair.
"Yeah..." Danni drawled out, "We should leave now." He nodded, clearing his throat as they moved to the staircase. The Doctor suddenly jumped around and faced them.
"Tell me the whole plan." He demanded. Danni sighed at him, tugging on his arm. He turned to face her, "One day that will work." He told her as he pushed her up the stairs. He then turned back to the girls, "Listen, I would love to stay here. This whole thing..." He motioned to them, "I'm thrilled. Oh, this is Christmas!" He turned and ran up the stairs after Danni, "Is this why you didn't warn me before we landed?" She nodded.
"I thought you'd enjoy it. Romantic's boring." She replied and he laughed happily as they ran back down towards the canal.
"You are amazing!" He told her and she nodded.
"Yes, yes I am Spaceman." They shimmied along the wall again before running away hand in hand.
~0~0~0~
"Doctor!" Amy screeched as she met up with Danni and the Doctor at the canal side where they had been watching Guido earlier that day. She grabbed onto his arms while he grabbed onto her shoulders.
"We just met some vampires!" He exclaimed.
"We just saw a vampire!" Amy said at the same time as they both tried to explain what they had seen.
"...and creepy girls and everything." The Doctor concluded.
"Vampires!"
"In Venice!" Danni added happily. The Doctor grabbed Danni and they all jumped up and down together excitedly as Rory finally caught up with his girlfriend, panting.
"We think we just saw a vampire." He told the Doctor, who nodded and let go of Amy.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Amy was just telling me." He told Rory. Amy placed an arm around Danni.
"Yeah! Danni and the Doctor actually went to their house." Rory looked disappointed, obviously hoping he could tell the two time travellers something they didn't know and look impressive in front of Amy.
"Oh. Right. Well..."
"OK, so..." The Doctor slapped Rory on both cheeks, "first we need to get back in there somehow."
"What?!" Rory exclaimed, confused.
"How do we do that?" Amy asked.
"Back in where?!" Rory looked between the two, utterly confused. The Doctor clapped his hands together and began leading Amy off.
"Come and meet our new friend." Danni linked arms with Rory, following the other two.
"The Doctor wants to go back into the vampire's house so that he can find out why they're there and what they're up to and then, hopefully, stop them." She explained to Rory.
"How do you know that?" She tapped her head.
"I see the future, apparently. Didn't Amy ever tell you that?" He nodded.
"Yeah, but I thought she was making it up. She used to use it as an excuse to kiss The Doctor." He explained and Danni laughed.
"Oh, I like her. Let me guess, you never questioned it because you wanted her to kiss you?" Rory blushed slightly and Danni nudged him.
"Oh, come off it Mr Rory. You're marrying her tomorrow, you can't be blushing at wanting to kiss her or your wedding night's going to be pants."
~0~0~0~
Guido placed a map of Venice down on the wooden dining table in his home, pointing to the school so they all knew where it was. Amy, Danni and the Doctor stood around the map, while Rory sat on a pile of barrels in one corner, watching them all.
"As you saw, there's no clear way in." Guido told them, "The House of Calvierri is like a fortress. But there's a tunnel underneath it, with a ladder and shaft that leads up into the house." He drew the tunnel on the map with his finger, "I tried to get in once myself, but I hit a trapdoor."
"You need someone on the inside." Amy stated knowingly.
"No." The Doctor replied, not looking up from the map.
"You don't even know what I was going to say!" He turned to her.
"We pretend you're an applicant for the school to get you inside and tonight you come down and open the trapdoor to let us in." He went back to the map, licking his bottom lip in thought as he tried to come up with another option. Rory shook his head in disbelief, the thought of Amy even coming up with that idea seemed foreign to him.
"Oh." Amy stated, "So you know what I was going to say!"
"Are you insane?" Rory exclaimed as Amy sat on the table, facing away from him.
"We don't have another option."
"He said no, Amy. Listen to him." Rory urged.
"There is another option." Everyone looked over at Guido, who pointed at Rory, "I work at the Arsenale. We build the warships for the navy." The Doctor walked over as Rory pointed at himself, confused.
"Gunpowder." The Doctor stated as he sniffed the barrels. Rory tensed, eyes wide and the Doctor put a hand on Rory's shoulder, "Most people just nick stationery from where they work." Rory slowly slid off the barrels. and backed away into a dead rabbit hanging by the fireplace, scaring himself even more. Danni, feeling slightly sorry for him, moved over and rubbed his arm sympathetically. It wasn't too long ago she felt that out of her depth, her first adventure with the Doctor after realising this was actually real was terrifying. She shuddered at the thought of Lady Thaw's corpse; that image would never leave her.
"Look, I have a thing about guns and huge quantities of explosive." The Doctor pointed out. Guido slammed his fist against the table and stormed over to the fire.
"What do you suggest, then? We wait until they turn her into an animal?" He poked the fire angrily as Amy rocked on the spot, looking slightly smug.
"I'll be there three, four hours tops." Rory rolled his eyes angrily. The Doctor shot her a small smile, then scrunched his fists together, closing his eyes.
"No, no, no, no, no, no. It can't keep happening like this. This is how they go." He sat on Guido's bed, rubbing his eyes, "But I have to know." He admitted, "We go together. Say you're my daughter."
"What?! Don't listen to him!" Rory exclaimed angrily.
"Your daughter? You look about nine." Amy told him.
"Brother, then." She shook her head.
"Too weird. Fiancé." Rory stormed over, now finally have had enough.
"I'm not having him run around telling people he's your fiancé." He pointed at the Doctor. Amy nodded, looking slightly guilty.
"No. No, you're right." She stood up slowly.
"Thank you."
"I mean, they've already seen the Doctor. You should do it." She told Rory confidently, happy with her plan.
"Me?" He stuttered out.
"Yeah! You can be my brother." She rubbed his hair playfully and his face dropped. The Doctor smiled at them as Danni sat on the bed next to him.
"Why is him being your brother weird, but with me, it's OK?" Rory asked her.
"Actually, I thought you were her fiancé." Guido said to the Doctor, who semi-glared at the man.
"Yeah, that's not helping."
"This whole thing is mental!" Rory shouted, "They're vampires, for God's sake."
"We hope."
"So if they're not vampires...?" Amy trailed off. Danni stretched and leant against the wall behind her, eyes shut.
"Fish." She stated. Everyone turned to look at her, confused.
"Fish?" The Doctor asked skeptically.
"Vampire fish." She confirmed before opening one eye to look at him, a smirk on her face, "Vampire fish, in Venice." she closed her eyes again, "I'll go too."
"What?" The Doctor asked, confused. She sat up straight again and motioned to Amy.
"With Amy. I'll go into the school, I mean we look like sisters." She explained and the Doctors eyes narrowed angrily.
"No," He stated firmly, "not a chance." Rory turned to him, outraged.
"Wait, so it's all right for Amy to go, but not Danni?" He exclaimed, chucking his hands up in frustration. The Doctor shook his head.
"If Danni jumps whilst they're in there then they will notice. If Amy draws too much attention to herself, they will kill her." He pointed out, "I don't want Amy to go alone, but there's no other choice."
~0~0~0~
The town clock chimed seven as the Doctor and Danni sat on the back of a gondola, Rory in front of them. Guido, having switched clothes with Rory, pushed them along the canal.
"She'll be fine." The Doctor told Rory, who turned back to glare at him angrily.
"You can promise me that, can you?" He snapped in reply before turning back around. The Doctor grabbed Danni's hand tightly, trying to reassure himself that Amy would be alright, because he didn't know himself. She squeezed it back and he smiled at her slightly.
"I can." She told Rory, "I promise she will be fine." The Doctor kissed her gently on top of the head, but Rory didn't turn around. He did relax slightly, however, and that was enough for Danni to beam happily at his back.
~0~0~0~
They finally pulled up in front of a huge set of stone stairs, a metal gate in front of them. The Doctor, having acquired a lit torch from a wall they had passed stepped off first, followed by Danni and then Rory. He pushed the gate open and lead the pair through and up the stairs, Guido watching them from the gondola apprehensively.
"Right. OK," The Doctor whispered, "I'll go first. If anything happens to me, go back..."
"What happened?" Rory interrupted in the same hushed tones, "Between you and Amy? You said she kissed you." The Doctor stopped in front of some wooden steps leading to a wooden door. He looked alarmed at Danni. She just smiled at him, letting him know she already knew and he turned back to Rory.
"NOW?!" He exclaimed quietly, "You want to do this NOW?!" He grabbed Danni's hand and pulled her up the stairs.
"I have a right to know." Rory defended as he followed them through the door, "I'm getting married in 430 years." The door lead to a very dark, very narrow passageway. Rory pushed his way past Danni, so he could hear what the Doctor was saying.
"She was frightened," He explained, "I was frightened, but we survived, and the relief of it... and so she kissed me." He explained.
"And you kissed her back?" Rory pressed.
"No." He snapped back, suddenly angry at Rory. He looked at Danni, his eyes pleading with her, "No, I didn't, I swear." He sighed, calming himself down, "Rory..." He stopped and turned to him, "Rory, she kissed me because I was there. It would have been you," He tapped him on the chest before carrying on, "it should have been you."
"Yeah." Rory agreed, "It should have been you."
"Exactly. That's why I brought you here." A gust of wind suddenly blew down the tunnel, blowing out the torch and leaving them in complete darkness. Danni pushed up against the two men, reaching out and grabbing the first hand she came across. She smiled to herself at it squeezed back, telling her everything was alright. So it was the Doctor's, she had been right.
"Can we go and see the vampires now, please?" The Doctor whispered and she couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips. He was such a child!
~0~0~0~
The Doctor stood on Rory's shoulders as he pushed the grate above them open, before using Rory to climb high enough to get out of the hole first.
"Push..." He pulled himself out then reached in to pull Rory out, "Come on." He urged, pulling the man out before the pair reached in to grab Danni, who was lower down than they'd been expected, "There we are." He told Danni, who nodded, happy she was out of the dark, "Amy!" He called in a whisper, walking around trying to locate his friend, "Where's Amy? I can't see a thing."
"Just as well I brought this, then." Rory replied triumphantly, pulling out a small metal torch from inside his clothes. The Doctor, at the same time, pulled out a huge device, a purple bulb glowing brightly on it.
"Ultraviolet." He explained, "Portable sunlight."
"Perfect for vampire fish." Danni pointed out and he nodded. Rory stared at it, slack-jawed.
"Yours is bigger than mine." He stated. Danni giggled as the Doctor winked at her, then shook his head.
"Let's not go there." Rory nodded in agreement as the Doctor shone his torch around the courtyard they were in, it landing on a chest on one side. He headed straight towards it, Danni following. She yelled as she tripped, she guessed over her own feet, the manipulator burning on her arm. The Doctor spun around, and the last thing she saw was his alarmed look before she was whisked away.

You know, I'm not as happy with this episode as I thought I would be, but I've edited it so many times that it was never going to get posted, so I'm sticking with it. The next story is better, I swear XD
A LOT of you want to see Nine, and I wasn't going to go for a while but you've twisted my arm, so I'm going to bring him in earlier with an episode I wasn't going to cover, so well do you clever things :)
I did feel that she needed to talk to someone, and I plan on her finding time to process things throughout the series, I just don't think we'd take it as well as you say you would when talking to your friends about the Doctor whisking you away. And I don't think I'd be too bothered if the Doctor snogged me either :P
I'm glad it makes you smile, every time I get a review I tell everyone I can I'm so happy :)
Ahh, I can't tell you about Nine, you'll just have to wait and see :P
For this story I was only planning Nine up to the end of the Ponds, because it's already 21 chapters and I've not even hit the first proper storyline thing I wanted to add, so if I added Clara/50th etc. it'd go on forever. And sequels, however *rubs hands together evilly*
I know, I'm not a good reviewer either XD I always think no one would care what I think, but now I'm writing I'm realising that it does matter, even if it's just a little couple of words so I am trying to be better about it. Your words made me really smile, so thank you for taking the time to tell me :)
And you've hit 100 reviews... Well, actually at the time of writing this it's 112 so I'm going to give you another snippet of the story, from quite a way away yet :P I think for every 100 reviews/follows I may do this, I don't know yet it depends how much I feel like teasing you XD Enjoy
"If he is coming to 'save you', then why are you self-harming?" She stopped tapping, looking down at her bandaged arms, a small amount of blood staining the white fabric. Two very deep, evil marks were hidden underneath. She looked out of the window, up at the clear blue sky.
"If I am stuck here, if he's not coming to save me and this is real life..." her face hardened and she turned to the health practitioner sat in front of her, "Then I. Don't. Want. It." She told him with such conviction he blinked in surprise. She turned back to the window, watching and waiting, "Leave me alone."
"Danielle..."
"Leave me alone." The man stood and sighed in defeat.
"I'll come back in an hour to see if you're willing to talk." He left her room and she pulled her legs up to her chest, crying softly.
"Oh Spaceman, where are you?" She whispered.
