It calls for me every night, I can hear is whisper for me, sometimes I can make out words like, Time lord and TARDIS, I have no idea what either of those mean in the real world.
I don't usually dream, but when I do I dream of the weirdest dreams I dream of golden patterns and cogs, I see universes and other life forms you couldn't think up of you tried; I don't know what's wrong with me.

Living in an adoption centre is always hard, but harder when your me, when i first came here the matron asked if anyone wanted to share a room with me; no one said yes. I've always been alone.

I make breakfast out of habit, set the table for 20 people and spread out the food equally, then go upstairs to my bedroom. I tidy my room putting my most important things in a bag, I'm leaving, NOW.
I start to walk out of the door when I hear the matron call me,

"Samantha, you have a visitor!" She calls.
A visitor for me? As if.

"Really?!" I call "are you sure for me?"

"Yes he wants you, now get down here!" She replies getting obviously frustrated now.

I run down the narrow, wooden stair case and turn the corner, standing there is a tall man, he must be about 20 and he seems familiar.

"Sam this is Mr. Smith, he wants to adopt you." Says the matron smirking, she knows they'll send me back as soon as they hear I hear voices, they'll think I'm insane... "Are you sure you want Samantha, I mean, we have a lot of other girls who are probably more fit for your needs."

"No I want Sam." He says stubbornly and I gasp as I realise who he is, he's the man I see in my dreams, travelling in a blue box around the Galaxy but I'm sure I haven't met him before.

"Well then go and get your stuff Sam your leaving now." Says the matron but she knows I'll be back soon enough.

I run and grab my ready packed bag, grinning the whole time, I'm hoping in the back of my mind that he is the space man in the blue box I dreamed about.

Once I'm down stairs I can get a better look at the 'Mr. Smith', he has short brown hair and a mystical glint in his eye. He takes my bag and walks me out,  i skip next to him and he takes me into an alley, at the end is the blue box! He unlocks the door to the police box and silently signals for me to go inside.

"ITS BIGGER ON T-"

He cuts me off "I know, I know it's bigger on the inside but I need to have a serious talk with you."

"About what?" I ask, I don't even know him and he need to have a serious talk with me already, sounds ominous... I smile amused at my own thoughts.

"OK, you are a time lord, from the planet Gallifrey (sorry if I spelt that wrong :P) we are the only ones left, me and you, before you ask, yes I know who your parents are and I'm sorry to tell you but their dead, they burned with Gallifrey. I am here to take you into space, show you the stars you should've seen when you were young."
He blurts out and I nearly faint.

"So I'm not human?" I ask confused.

"Good question, I like you. You are half human your father was human your mother was from Gallifrey." He smiles, "when your parents died it was me that sent you an adoption centre in London."

"That's why your in my dreams?" I gasp "and I hear voices because, I'm a time lord?"

"Yup, you are a very perceptive person." He laughs "right so your first trip, where'd you wanna go?"
