( a sob is the first thing that can be heard, rather than spotting her. she always was louder than she was vibrant, but here she is in all her glory, on her knees, acting like a child. soft and quiet, though she remains sobbing. hiccoughing soon follows, sniffles and for a short time, all that can be produced from the girl are the sounds of misery and despair. this is the second time she’s found herself in this strange area, neither one of said two times could she recall really wanting to stay. or, rather, she thought it was — but nothing made sense at the moment, nothing but sobbing seemed to be the right thing to do )

Is someone there…? ( preferably someone she might know? her voice whimpers the words and her palms, finding her eyes, rub the heels against to try and dry the tears that relentlessly fall ) Please, can someone hear me…?

( Victoria is far from being aware of whom she’s trying to talk to. for some reason, she can recall someone from before but can’t see anyone this time. slowly, she inhales a shaky breath, picks herself up from the ground and awkwardly begins to walk )

I remember, from before, there was someone… Please, aren’t you still there? ( another choking sob, as she realizes that she might have just imagined seeing someone. what if she’s imagined this whole situation? it might even be some dream, or rather nightmare, that just feels as though it’s real. but then again, when she had returned home, it hadn’t felt right for some reason. what had that woman’s name been? oh, that’s right )

Meredith? ( another shaky breath ) Meredith… Sault? That was it, wasn’t it? Oh, please… Please, I’m frightened and I— I thought I’d gotten away from all this stuff!

( she proceeds to walk along the Plane, not that she realized that’s what it was called or even began to fathom wherever it was that she might be. the walk was seeming endless, there really didn’t seem as though there was much of a destination for her to find and so realizing that she was extremely lost, and so once more, she falls to her knees in a heap )

Mister Harris! Missus Harris! ( she choked on a sob ) Please, I don’t want to be alone! I don’t understand, what is going on? Where am I…? What happened?

( she whimpers and mutters before burying her head into her hands ) …if I wanted this, I would have stayed on the TARDIS…

You do not have to use a knife be able to fight.

The only fighting I do, is bickering. ( which as you can see, she's fairly stubborn at. ) Besides, why is it so foolish to not want to think about it? Very well, I accept that things happen — I still don't want to imagine it or think about it.

At least you can do it well.

Because you cannot change things if you hide from them.

( she presses her lips to a thin line at the compliment. )

I know, but that doesn't mean I want to think about it.

You are very strange.

I have been such before, yes. ( sigh )

It does not have to be a bad thing.

... you don't think so?

I think the Doctor is the strangest man I know. He is still my friend.

The Doctor is the strangest man I know as well, to be quite honest.

Have you shared many adventures together?

Well, we did. But... I left him.

We all do, in time. We cannot stay with him forever.

I... guess that's true. My "trip" with him was rather short, though. How long were you with him?

A little over a year, a long time ago.

I wasn't with him for nearly that long.

Are you certain? It is difficult to measure time in the TARDIS.

Why did you leave?

Oh, well, yes. I traveled many years before and after my own specific time; but, I meant with him. Together, him and I. And Jamie. Just a few trips...

( she frowns )

I was afraid of constantly being in danger.

It is a difficult thing to bear. I am sorry you have found yourself in danger here.

You were fortunate to know Jamie as well as the Doctor. He is a good friend and an honourable warrior.

I, it's okay. I'll find the Doctor again, or Jamie. It'll be alright...

Jamie is... Wonderful. ( it's the best thing she can use to describe him because to her, he really is the best thing since sliced bread. )

I am glad you will have them both by your side.

So am I. I have missed them, so.

I am certain they have missed you as well.

Did you travel with someone apart from the Doctor when you were with him?

With K-9. He was a robotic dog.
