Lost in the Universe

Amazing Doctor Who Quote of the Day:

"The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship... Everything has its time. And everything ends."

Nina had an enormous headache as she slowly came into consciousness. She slowly sat up from the spot on the ground where she had been lying down, and brought her hands to her head, gripping her hair tightly. She felt like there was a hammer in her head, pounding in her brain. She soon shook that through when she remembered that the brain had no pain receptors, so if someone was actually hammering her brain, she wouldn't even feel it.

She slowly stood up, using the wall next to her as support as her legs almost gave up, trying to support her own weight. Nina looked around, the corridor slightly familiar. She frowned. Was this Hydra? Had they gotten to her again? Nina started to panic as she walked through the halls, looking past her shoulder every few seconds.

She tried to remember how she had gotten there, but nothing came to her mind. She couldn't remember anything. She didn't know where she was, where she had been for the past few days.

She thought about her friends. If she had been missing for more than a couple days, they were probably worried about here. It wasn't like her to simply disappear, leaving no note, no trace.

"What?" She heard a voice exclaim in confusion. She turned around, to see whose voice it was, but ended up doing so too quickly, sending another wave of pain through her head. She couldn't help but send her hands to her head once more, closing her eyes in agony.

She heard footsteps walking at a fast pace towards her, and then felt two hands landing on top of her own. The touch sent a wave of warmth throughout her body, and a sense of calm suddenly took over her.

"Are you alright?" The voice asked. Nina didn't move, and her breathing was just as rapid as it was. "It's okay, open your eyes. It's just me. I'm the Doctor, you can trust me."

Trust. Nina definitely didn't trust him. How could she? She had trust issues, which was quite understandable after everything she went through. But for some reason, she opened her eyes, just as the man had told her to. She looked up to see a brown haired, brown eyed man staring down at her. He had such kind eyes, but also... sad.

"Your head hurts?" He asked her, his voice soothing. She slowly nodded.

This isn't Hydra, she realized. This man is way too kind for this to be Hydra.

"Do you know how you got here?" He asked her, looking into her eyes as if he were looking for the cause of her headache through them.

"Not really," she finally spoke.

"Let's get you home, shall we?"

The Doctor led her through a bunch of corridors, and she followed him close behind. The man was rambling, he wouldn't stop talking, but Nina wasn't paying much attention to anything he was saying. She was really trying to concentrate on how she had gotten there.

The last thing she remembered was going to sleep. She went to sleep after a long day and simply collapsed onto the bed. Nina grunted again when another wave of pain, this one even stronger than last time, hit her.

This was weird. Nina didn't have headaches very often. The last time she had one this painful was...

No.
