Chapter 4 - The Time Vortex
"Clara! Where have you been?!" exclaims the Doctor.
"What's wrong?" asks Clara.
"Those two girls, they stared into the Time Vortex!"
"I saw a Alienoat! It looked a lot like a Mannequin but it acted more like a weeping angel."
Clara and the Doctor spoke at once, which made their explanations sound like a jumble of words.
"What? You saw it?!"
"What? They did?!"
Again, they spoke in unison. There is a short silence afterwards while Clara and the Doctor contemplate about what the other said.
Meggie and Eli walk out of the TARDIS, breaking the silence.
"They did not!" fumes Clara, accusing the Doctor. Meggie quickly squeezes Eli's shoulders, and their eyes glow for a few moments.
"Clever! The Time Vortex is too powerful for one being, as it learned in my tenth reincarnation, but just enough for two! Smart!" realizes the Doctor.
"Are you the owner of this type 40 Time Travel machine?" they both ask.
"Yes, I am! You must be the Time Vortex!" the Doctor says pleasantly.
"No, we are not! We are Eli and Meggie!" Eli declares.
"You are the Doctor, the-" Meggie begins. She is cut off by an Alienoat creeping up from behind Eli and Meggie, grabbing them, and dragging them to a dumpster.
"Stop! Stop kidnapping the time vortex!" yells the Doctor. The cries of the two girls are muffled by a giant armoured arm. As the girls and the Alienoat descend into a the dumpster, the Doctor and Clara give chase.
As the screaming girls and strange creature fall into the dumpster, Clara and the Doctor listen to hear the thunk of their bodies hitting the bottom, but that sound does not come. The Doctor and Clara climb in to find no one there.
The Doctor sonics the bottom of the dumpster and it gives way. They fall into darkness but down below they see a light illuminating off of the Alienoat and hear the two girls cry for help.
The Doctor lands on a hard stone ledge jutting from the darkness, but the other four (Clara, Eli, Meggie, and the Alienoat) keep falling until they've hit a wooden structure.
The Doctor watches as the Alienoat levitates Eli, Meggie, and Clara off the ground, and they descend into a entrence in the wood. The Doctor hears the clonk of a wooden lock locking as the door closes.
The Doctor jumps off the stone platform and lands on the wooden structure. The Doctor tries to sonic the door but it makes no difference-the entrance is made of wood.
Search lights pierce the darkness and land on the Doctor, just as he gets a glimpse of his and Jenn's TARDISes being carried off by an large claw.
