The Truth

This is just a short little interlude if you will of Kayce telling the Doctor what she is and about her family
***

"And that was 1869," The Doctor told her brightly while giving her a look. Kayce sighs "I've got some explaining to do huh?" 

The Time Lord nodded at her, "Yeah I would say so."

Kayce chuckled and nodded "all right, then just let me change out of this godforsaken dress and I'll explain." he nods at her accepting her answer. 

Kayce runs off towards the wardrobe to change. About 10 minutes later she emerges from the wardrobe in clothes that are more her style with her hair hanging down in loose waves. She makes her way back to the control room. She sat down on the jump seat as she started talking getting right into it "all right so my backstory is a very long one but for now, I'll just give you the footnote version and we will dive further into it at a later date."

The alien nodded "Okay I'm listening"

Kayce takes a breath because this is the first she has ever told anyone her story usually it's Elijah or Rebekah that tells their story. "Okay so for starters I am not human and I haven't been for a very long time... I was once a lifetime ago." Kayce gets a faraway look in her eyes as she continues "I was born in the 10th century in a little village in Virginia that is modern-day Mystic Falls. I have four older brothers one of which is dead and a little sister, I had a little brother too but he was killed a long time ago which is what drove my parents to make my siblings and me what we are."

"Which is what?" The doctor questioned curiously. 

"Vampires, some would say monsters, I mean there really isn't much difference but my siblings and I were turned into the first Vampires, the Originals, from us all vampires were created and I am talking real proper vampires."

"You mean like burn in the sun? Doesn't show up in mirrors? Hates garlic?"

Kayce laughs "the only true thing in that sentence was that we burn in the sun, you can see my reflection in a mirror and I happen to like garlic" Kayce grins "we have these things called daylight rings that keep us from burning in the sun but that's not all I am not just a vampire I am also a witch... I was born a witch and when I was turned for some reason I kept my magic which is not supposed to happen but it did and here I am... That is how I was holding the corpses in place I was using my magic so they didn't attack me." She pauses for a moment glancing at the Doctor who is grinning at her then she continues "as you can tell snapping my neck didn't kill me, there are two ways to kill a vampire, a stake to the heart or ripping their hearts out of their chest. But you can't kill an original with a regular stake and you rip my heart out it'll grow back in a couple of hours and you can't even kill me with the stake that could kill the rest of my family, my witch side cancels out the effects making me pretty much immortal... I mean there are ways to put me down but I am the only one that has access to the spells that can do that so yeah nothing can kill me permanently."

"If you were born in the 10th century that means you're over 1000 years old."

Kayce smirks "that would be correct, so tell me, Doctor, how old are you?"

"900," he answered albeit reluctantly. 

Kayce giggles "So at this point in time I am indeed older than you?"

The Doctor rolls his eyes at her smugness "yes you are older than me."

"Well, then Doctor that is pretty much what you need to know... I'll tell you more, I'll tell you the whole story once I know you better."

He nods at her "Okay... So what do you say we head back to London for a bit? Then we can be on our way to wherever you wanna go?"

"Sounds good to me"

The Doctor set a course back to London in the present day.
