Gortail entered his base, his clan sitting in there, waiting.

“Warriors of my clan. We are discovered. Intruders are in the forest and in time will find us. We must stop the humans!” A cry went up in their base. Gortail changed into his wolf form and, followed by the rest of his clan, ran off in the direction of Rory and the Doctor....

“What are we actually up against?” Rory asked the Doctor, unsure.

“From what Belle told me, bright girl, very detailed, we are dealing with Forbaith. Their different clans give them different shape shifting powers. Belle said they were black wolves so this clan must be the Black Wolf Clan. I met them once, nasty bunch. Never fully answered your questions. Always trying to turn you into one of them to avoid full answers,” stated the Doctor, still running. But then they found they could run no more for they found they were at a lake.

“So, Doctor, is this the lake Belle was talking about?” As way of reply the Doctor whipped out his sonic screwdriver and started to take readings. While the Doctor was busying himself Rory gazed across the lake. Standing there was a large, black wolf. With wings. Rory was about to speak but felt so entranced by the creature he just stood and stared. Noticing something wasn’t right, or rather noticing Rory wasn’t asking stupid questions again, the Doctor turned back to Rory to find him gazing across the lake, stalk still. And his eyes. They were amber.

“Rory, ignore the wolf over the lake and focus on me,” the Doctor said to Rory, holding his shoulders, shaking him. He walked round the back of Rory and, to his horror; found wings had grown from his back.

“No..... Amy will kill you! Rory, SNAP OUT OF IT!!!” The Doctor yelled in Rory’s face, waving around his screwdriver. The Doctor blinked and a controlled Rory took this chance because in that exact moment the Doctor blinked, Rory’s eyes turned red. The Doctor fell to the ground, screwdriver nearly rolling into the lake. Rory reached down to pick it up, but it wasn’t a hand that retrieved the sonic. It was a black wolf paw. Sonic in paw, Wolf Rory flew over the lake to Gortail. Just as he did, the rest of Gortail’s clan stood over the unconscious Doctor........

Amy was bored. She sighed as she tapped her pencil against the table. All the girls she talked told her either the same as Belle them or that they couldn’t remember anything at all. She waited for her boys to come back; they had been gone 2 hours.

“Oh, Doctor. What could the pair of you be doing that takes this long.... I’m not waited for years again. Doctor, I wish you and Rory could hurry up....,” Amy muttered as she remembered all those years ago waiting twelve for her Doctor. “Come on, stupid face..... Doctor, you better get back here now or just you wait ‘til I get my hands on you!”

“Did you say my name?” Amy turned and saw the Doctor poking his head around the doorway. She thought Rory would be behind him but he wasn’t.

“Doctor, where’s Rory? And, more importantly, where were the pair you?” Amy asked the Doctor as she hugged him.

“Ah.... Well...,” the Doctor sat down and started to explain.

After the Doctor’s story of what happened to Rory, he then went on to explain what happened afterwards. He told that Amy he remembered waking up in an empty room.

“It was weird. One minute I’m talking to Rory, telling him to snap out of it and the next I was in a room on a spaceship.”

“How did you know it was a space ship?”

“I licked it.”

“Should’ve known.”

“Anyway, I looked through the window in door and it was guarded by Wolf Rory and one of the Forbaith.”

“Okay, again, how did you know who guarded you? Meaning, how did you know it was Rory and a Forbaith?”

“Wolf Rory still had light brown fur on the top of his head and the Forbaith is just really quite big, twice the size of any of the vanished girls when they were wolves. Okay, so I’m trying to figure out what to do then Wolf Rory wandered off, back in human form, wings gone. The Forbaith seemed went of too and I picked the lock because my sonic screwdriver was gone. I got out and ran back here but I saw no sign of Wolf Rory or normal Rory.”

“Do you know where he is?” Amy asked the Doctor, worry showing in her eyes. The Doctor shook his head then got up to look for him, Amy in tow.

Rory woke up and saw Belle, Tom, Amy and the Doctor near by. The Doctor sat eating a Jammy Dodger, Amy was standing over him and Belle and Tom sat talking to the Doctor.

“Amy...”

“Come here, stupid face!” Rory was hauled up by Amy and they hugged. Tom got up and walked over to the Ponds.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, head’s a bit, you know, sore. It’s all better know ‘cause I’m back with Amy!” Walking over, hands in pockets, chewing, the Doctor asked Rory one question;

“What happened from your point of view?” Rory flopped back down on the sofa from which he was asleep on only moments before. He thought for a minute. Thinking about how to tell his story, he took a deep breath and started to tell his story.
