She learned it the hard way. Some people were never meant to exist. Not even the Doctor wants her as a companion. But then the Master saves her from certain death and discovers that this human girl might be of more use to him than he expected.
Ranki...
A/N: Thanks for all the kind and heartwarming words from you all. They mean a lot. ❤ I'm feeling a lot better already.
On another topic... did any of you watch the Perseids? (It's a night where you can see up to one shooting star per minute). I slept outside and took some pictures. It really was a great sight.

And so we started our way to the library. At one point we managed to leave the huge building, finally walking among plants and in the light of the sun again, smiles and sighes on our lips. It was good to be rid of the forced darkness and it was a relief to know that the shadows could not follow us here.
"Someone seems to be in a good mood, today," said Donna, walking next to me. Sometimes she struggled with the plant life, but it was again and again astonishing how well she managed.
"Am I?"
"Oh, definitely." She smiled. "Slept well? I haven't seen you til morning. Been a little busy annoying our Doctor, but when I went looking for you, I couldn't find a trace."
"Uhhhhh... yeah... I was..."
"With me," said an unusually chipper voice. "And I had no intention to be found, human."
I glared at my feet, hands clinging to the straps of my backpack. Don't blush, idiot!
"Oh, stop it, moon-boy, had she been with you she'd have to be in the worst mood possible."
I snorted at the nickname and could almost feel the Master getting angry, but he stayed uncharacteristically calm.
"How else do you think I could have had a look at her lovely dreams?" His voice was challenging. "And oh boy, those were some dreams."
"Master!" I warned, elbowing him in the side.
He chuckled and winked at me. "Don't worry. I'm not going to spill the juicy details."
Right, not blushing was no option here. And to my dismay he picked up speed and walked ahead with more silly laughter. Bastard. Of course he couldn't skip the chance to claim dominance. Even if it was only delivered in hints.
I could feel Donna's glare on me, sensing that she definitely had her own interpretations. "What in the world did he do?" came her surprised exclaim.
I probably was glowing red by now, although I usually never felt it until someone else pointed it out. I had no idea what to tell her, truth or lie. Both were bad ideas in their own way and yet there was no chance I would tell her what had actually happened.
"I... wanted him to have a look at those nightmares."
"Yeah, I heard about that." She eyed me sceptically. "D'you really think it's a good idea to have him snooping 'round in your head? Who knows what he planned to damage there."
