'''''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 forest near to a settlement, a "[[Unnamed alien (Lorna's Escape)|massive, scaly creature]]" goes on a rampage. The creature with massive jaws and huge wings closes in on [[Lorna Bucket|Lorna]] and her friend [[Stefan (Lorna's Escape)|Stefan]] and a mysterious stranger arrives, grabs her hand and tells her to run! When Stefan is injured, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] leads the creature away from them.
With Lorna 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.
