"Lord of the Reedy River" Part 2

Anyway, here is the next part folks:

Robin (played by Jonas Armstrong) strides up to the Doctor with a rogueish grin:
"And who might you be friends?"
The Doctor grins:
"Oh I'm just the Doctor and this is Donna, Ben and Kyle. And you are?"
"Robin's the name. Now if you just empty all of your pockets , you can be on your way."
Ben steps forward:
"Hey, am I right in thinking that you are Robin of Loxley, or Robin Hood to the locals."
Robin gazes into Ben's dark eyes, transfixed,
"Thats right".
Ben smiles:
"Amazing. Look we are from the future, the 21st century. You know your life has become a legend, where its hard to separate myth from reality. And yet here you are standing in front of us."
Robin looks puzzled. The Doctor whispers to Ben:
"I think the concept of time travel is something he'll need a fair while to get used to."
Ben empties his pockets and Robin holds up a packet of Fox's Glacier Mints, showing them to Will Scarlett:
"What have we here?"Ben smiles:
"They're mints. You'd love them, but they haven't been invented yet. Try one."
Robin opens one suspiciously and moves it slowly to his mouth, dabbing the end with his tongue. He feels a mellow sensation and sees a vision of the forest spirit. However suddenly there are shouts and they turn to see the Sheriff's men running towards them.

Robin and his men pull out their trusty bows and fire a volley of arrows, however some of the attackers get through. One goes for Robin with a sword, however Kyle has quickly picked up a sword from a dead attacker and he lunges at Robin's assailant. Robin is able to escape and fire more arrows, while the Doctor uses Venusian akido to disarm two assailants. Suddenly there is a scream from in the woods and a growling noise. The Sheriff's men stop in their tracks, petrified.
"Its getting dark... the creature. Never mind Hood, lets get out of here."
As the attackers run, Robin and the Doctor head to where the scream came from and see a bearded old peasant with his throat ripped out.The Doctor examines the body, looking worried.
"Nothing on earth at this time in History could have left these bite marks."

Later that evening, they are all sat round a campfire eating roast wild boar. Robin tells the newcomers all about the creature that emerges from the river at night.
".... it all started after the light came from the sky. Will saw it plunge into the River. The villagers are terrified, and blame us. Tis the Sheriff's doing."
Meanwhile, Ben is sat by himself, fiddling with his mobile. Kyle goes over and takes him some of the meat.
"You alright Ben?"
"Do I look alright? I can't stop thinking about Anselm. You know he was offered that job in Canada and was going to take it if I hadn't told him he should put his relationship first. Now he resents me for stopping him going. Selfish bastard."

Meanwhile, in the dark forest, something is moving slowly through the undergrowth. It sniffs the air then moves on, its fur stained with blood. It senses food nearby. Slowly it pushes by bramble until it finds an opening. It sees Donna's back as she sits by the fire. Steadily it prepares to pounce, its eyes widening and its claws extending......
