Running. There was an awful lot of running to do. Panting heavily and pushing a path through the bushes and tree branches, the Doctor never looked back. The forest was a dangerous place in the day, but during the midnight hour? It was lethal.

Keeping his eyes locked on the moonlight shining in a clearing ahead, he sprinted as if his life depended on it because, well…it did. With the TARDIS nowhere near, the only safety possibly available to him was the moonlight. If only he had kept going. But someone needed help.

“Count the shadows.”

They were everywhere here.

Robert didn't like museum fundraisers, and he even less liked being cornered into attending, which was why at the first available opportunity he'd ducked out a side door.

Only to find that someone else had already had the same idea.

He looked at the young woman, moonlight glinting off her dark hair, and found himself speechless for a moment.

"You don't like these things, either?" the woman asked with a wry twist of her lips.

"Not at all."

"I'm Sarah," she offered, holding out a hand.

"Robert." He shook her hand in return.

"Well, Robert, since we're both hiding out here..." She winked. "I won't tell if you won't."

The moonlight caught in her eyes, and it almost broke him.

Neither of them did vulnerable well. It was messy, and it was awkward, and they both preferred to keep it in a small box they could lock up and shove in the back of the closet. As carefully constructed as it was, though, the box was made of papier-mâché and scotch tape, and it wasn’t worth a damn.

She fought with words, and he spoke in bullets.

It was fading now - the moonlight, her eyes. He couldn’t harness the moon to make it stop its passage, or carry her with the light. He couldn’t leave her there alone, though.

He stepped into the shadows.

Thank you so much! I have no idea where this came from, or how the lines flowed out like that, but I was really happy with it.
