Escaping the ordinary (a Doctor Who daughter-story)

The Family Meeting (part 1)

Cadences pov

There were ghost's walking around the streets -  but I already knew what they where. Cybermen. I then started walking towards the adress that I hade memoriesed as a kid - my mothers adress. She said that if I ever felt like it was to much - living in the TARDIS and everything - I could just go there.

Before I knew it I stood outside of the building. My mothers home. I ran up the familiar stairs and knocked on the door. The door opened an there she stood - my grandma. "Who are you?" I smiled at her reassuringly "Hello, I am a friend of your daughter - Rose. May I please come in?" "I know Rose's friends and I am sure that I have never met you." "Well that is because she hasn't met me yet." "What is your name?" "Wendy, Wendy Smith."

After a lot of smart-arguing with grandma she finaly let me in and we hade a cup of tea and had a little chat. Well that was until the door burst open "Mum! I'm home!" then I saw her, my mother. I felt tears build up inside of me but I would not let them spill. She looked at me confused. "Mum who is this?" "I thought she was your friend!" "No, I've never met her before." I stood up and placed the cup of tea on the table. "That is because you don't know who I am. We are meeting in the wrong order." I stretched out my hand "I am Wendy, Wendy Smith." she shook my hand. "Are you sure that I haven't met you before?" said mum as she looked me in my eyes. "Spoilers." I smirked. Then I saw a tall man in a brown suit stand behind her. "You are a timetraveller." I looked at him in awe "you are still so young." "Believe me, I am way older than I look." "Don't you think that I know that?" I said as I turned around and watched the clock "One minute" "what?" said Rose. "There's one more minute until you will understand why we are here." then the clock hit 12. "Ghost hour.". Ghosts started appearing on the streets and one appeared right next to grandma. " Jackie, get away from it." said I as I pointed my sonic at it. "No, that's nonsence. Rose, I'd like you to meet my dad. Dad, this is Rose. Hasn't she grown?" I turned around and looked at the pair standing behind me.

"Doctor, my grandad died years ago." I smirked "Ah! Finally a real adventure! OK, so ghost hour is not exactly active an entire hour. More like ten minutes but the time increases each time they decide to make a visit." I started scanning the area even though I already knew where the signal came from "The signal appears to come from the Torchwood tower." I turned around to see that the ghosts were dissapearing.

"Who are you to us? What is your real name?" I smiled as I placed a finger on my lips "spoilers". I smirked " Now, I am absoloutley not going to stand here and watch. I would advise you to come with me since I know where the TARDIS is." the Doctor had panick in his eyes as he started running down the stairs. I just went out on to the balcony and started climbing down - the funny thing was that I was down before him. He looked at me - clearly impressed. "How did you get down here?" "Took the balconys, much more exciting! Now, are you coming with me or not?" I started walking of. Not long after I heard the breathes of three behind me. I just continued walking. "Doctor you should really start working out."

I then felt a hand on my shoulder that qhuickly turned me around. I was about to punch him in the face out of instinct but when I saw him my face softened. "Who are you?" I looked him in the eye. "I can't tell you and you know it - now I already heard you scanning me but I strongly advise you not to look at the results. That would create the world's greatest paradox." I looked at him seriously "let's go." I quickly made sure that my golden necklace that my mother gave me before leaving me on earth remained hidden underneath my shirt.

When we reached the building we sneaked in through the back door. Once we where inside the place was crowded with employes and alien technology. Then I saw it - the TARDIS.  I turned to the Doctor "now don't do anything stupid - where's Jackie?" I saw that we where only three. Then I heard her "Let go of me you bastards!" I already knew what I had to do. I turned to the pair behind me "Now don't follow me, just stay where you are for the moment." "She is my mum!" I looked in to mum's eyes seriously "I know - why do you think that I am trying to save her? I know what will happend and I know that she will be fine. Now please, stay out." I looked in to dads eyes he nodded at me as he held back mum.

I quickly ran and hid behind the TARDIS. Then I jumped in front of it and screamed "Oi! You lot - leave her alone!" I pointed my sonic at the woman in the suit. "Who are you?" this was it - this was the moment when my parentes where going to know who I was "I am the one person that will stop you, I am the one that will save these peapole and my name is The Savior. Now stop this nonsence because I will tell you - I am not afraid to put you lot in your place so take this alien cargo and burn it!"
