Timeless Daughter

Chapter Eighteen - Self Preservation

-3rd Person-

Martha and Kate ran outside and bumped into Latimer on the way.

"Sorry" the called and Timothy has a vision of them but in different clothing, style and surroundings.

"Katherine? Martha?" he questioned

"No now Tim, we're busy!" Martha called back.

-Kate-

We ran in and i stopped having another memory of me running up and shouting Daddy before hugging him. I held my head in pain as memories slowly hit me.

"He's my Dad" i breathed

"Yes, he is. Why is it easy for you not him." she wondered holding onto me as I regained my composure

"Phycic perception field, she did as best as she could but she can't remove instinctual talents" I shrugged and sucked breath.

"That was the other me wasn't it." she nodded in confirmation

"Yes, oh i'm so glad your coming back. Tell what this is."  she held up the item that we had gone to retrieve

"Sonic Screwdriver. It's his. Oh Martha, I defiantly see why he likes you. Come on" I pulled her away and we headed to the dance at the hall.

-----

We arrived at the dance, the man at the entrance was collecting money for the local hospital, when he saw the two of us arriving.

"Oh, Staff entrance i think Miss."

"Yeah well think again mate." We walked into the dance ad I looked around. I spotted someone before my father.

"There he is?" I looked to where she was pointing. Dad was with Matron, yeah I still didn't like her.

"Go talk to her, i might slap her if you don't i'll be with you in a minute." She nodded and I walked over to Tim

"Hello, Tim." he stood up "Didn't think you'd be here."

"I..I.."

"Don't worry I...." I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand and I looked around. Something was wrong.

"Do you think you could do something for me."

"Yes. What is it?"

"I have a feeling I can trust you. So I need you to keep something safe. I went to kiss him on the cheek.

"I need you to keep me safe" I whispered in his ear handing him my watch. I smiled softly at him and headed towards Martha who was now speaking with my father. She held up the screwdriver.

"Do you know what this is? " Martha asked

"Name it." I say "Go on, Dad. Name it."

"John, what is that silly thing?" Matron questioned "John?"  He looked at me and I smiled nodding for him to take it.

"You're not John Smith. You're called the Doctor. The man in your journal he's real. Katherine is really Katelyn. He is you." Martha explained . There was a bang and i took a step back looking at the noise.

"You will be silent!" A man yelled "All of you! I said Silent!"

"Mr Clark what's going on?" Mr Clark turned round and aimed a gun at him before firing reducing the man to dust there were scared screams.

"Uncle John, everything Martha just told you forget it." I took the screwdriver away and hid it.

"We asked for Silence" I bowed my head down "Now then, we have a few questions for Mr. Smith."
