Danger Afoot

I tore open the envelope and pulled out a blue sheet that had a small message engraved in cursive.

If ever lost, find solace in blue. Take a trip down memories lane to dig up what's been missing. You may find me there, but words can only provide the key. Speak softly and carry big dreams.

"Look up."

I turned to the makeup artist and placed the card down on the table.

The black-haired girl morphed into a shadow as my eyes widened in horror.

I stumbled backwards out of the chair as I quickly grabbed the blue envelope.

"What are you?"

The shadow morphed back into a girl, but this time she changed into a red-haired, green-eyed beauty.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Well more than I already have. The Doctor, he has a message for you, doesn't he?"

I instantly recognized the girl who stood in front of me.

"What--What did you do? H-How did you become me?"

I slowly backed away from the identical copy of myself in terror.

"It's only a part of the process. Once I manipulate someone's time stream, it isn't very hard to take on their form."

"Stop it, whatever you're doing. It isn't right, you're wrong--all wrong. And whoever this Doctor is, I'm sure he'll stop you." I blurted out trying to be menacing, but really I was just afraid.

"Come on Jessie, do you really believe that? You, my dear, can end it all now. The Doctor hasn't helped you out at all, he's abandoned you. If he could've saved you, don't you think he already would have by now? Poor Jessie, you don't even remember this man who you're supposed to go running towards."

"Stay away!" I picked up the nail filer that laid on the desk and pointed it at her viciously.

"Please Jessie, what are you going to do? File me to death? I'm only here to make things straight. The Doctor is your enemy, he has betrayed you every step of the way. Don't protect him. What are you fighting for in the first place? You're no warrior, no hero, and neither is he, don't you want to continue this life? You seem to have it all."

"You don't know anything about me, not the least bit." I glared at her as I got up in her face attempting to intimidate her.

"Sure, I do. I know more than you think. Let's say I might even know what you're thinking right at this moment. Oh Doctor, save me from this misery. I'm such a lonely child, so afraid of the darkness, the never-ending darkness and the nightmares." She raised her hands as if she were picking ideas out of the sky.
