Lorna's Escape was a short story published in The Official Doctor Who Annual 2013. It told of Lorna Bucket's first encounter with the Eleventh Doctor.
Summary
When a spacecraft crashes at the edge of a forrest near to a settlement, "a massive, scaly creature" goes on a rampage. The creature with massive jaws and huge wings closes in on Lorna and her friend Stefan and a mysterious stranger arrives, grabs her hand and tells her to run! When Stefan is injured the Doctor leads the creature away from them.
Back safe at her village the Doctor has been busy. Using a device with a shield and a power cable the Doctor fights off the attacking creature that vanishes in a blinding flash. The "mysterious traveller and his strange wooden box" also disappear shortly after, leaving behind a legend of the "mightiest warrior" and the saviour of the Gamma Forests. Lorna somehow knows that she will meet him again.

Continuity
- In A Good Man Goes to War, reference is made to a previous encounter between the Eleventh Doctor and Lorna Bucket.
