Ditzy reluctantly let the TARDIS guide her again. It worked, and she entered the bedroom. She crawled into bed and let herself fall into a peaceful slumber. A peaceful slumber that would not remain peaceful for long. Ditzy had nightmares that night. She could hear horrible suction noises and dripping blood that could only be the horrid creature that had tried to kill her. She fell out of the bed drenched in sweat. She gasped for air until she realized it was just a dream. She was sweating and her mane was wet. She closed her eyes and tryed to form a psychic connection with the TARDIS. She found herself in a bathroom. She walked in and figured she could use the shower if she wanted. She turned the faucet and hot water rushed out. Ditzy stood in the shower and felt relaxed. The hot water rushed down her coat and mane, warming Ditzy and cleansing her body of sweat and fear. She inhaled steam and exhaled. Ditzy stepped out, turned the water off, and shook out her coat and mane. Ditzy checked her reflection and was happy with what she saw. Her coat was a shining foggy gray color, her blonde mane was decent looking, and not too messy. It was just... her stupid eyes. Nopony would ever love her. Ditzy looked in the mirror one last time and was shocked to find the bloody creature behind her. She froze and trembled. Although the creature had no eyes it seemed to be looking right through Ditzy's soul. It seemed to be smiling at her heartache. Ditzy screamed and ran to the Doctor. She found him in the control room and let herself break down.
"Doctor! It's in the TARDIS, Doctor do something!" Ditzy screamed at the Doctor. The Doctor grabbed Ditzy and Ditzy went limp.
"It can't be in the TARDIS, it's just playing a trick on your mind. That's how it gets you to crack, and you musn't crack Ditzy, you musn't crack, or it WILL murder you." said the Doctor. Ditzy looked at the Doctor like she was about to cry, and the Doctor sighed.
"Alright, show me where it happened." said the Doctor. Ditzy nodded and led the Doctor to the bathroom. When they got there the Doctor looked around, and Ditzy was quite nervous. Something caught the Doctor's eye and he turned to face the mirror. There was a crack in it that had not been there before.
"Ditzy. Turn on the hot water." the Doctor ordered. Ditzy turned the hot water on all the way, and steam soon enveloped the room. In a few minutes, the mirror was fogged and had a sloppily scrawled message that read; "Itex". The Doctor quickly pulled out a device that looked quite strange to Ditzy, and when the Doctor pressed a button, a green light came out and it made a strange sound. The Doctor flicked it, studied it and his pupils visibly shrank, indicating something was wrong.
"Doctor? What's wrong?" Ditzy stuttered. The Doctor looked at Ditzy, and replied,
"It was no trick. Something besides us is alive in the TARDIS."
