An Unwanted Surprise (A David Tennant fanfic)

Memories Lost

The buzzing of my alarm clock jolts me out of my dreams. I hit the off button and sulk out of bed. I go to the window and stretch in the sun light.

I walk into the kitchen of my flat and start making my morning tea. As I put the kettle on the stove, I feel the back of my head. Surprisingly, it's sore. I don't remember hitting it, but then again, I have this feeling that I've forgotten other things. I can't put my finger on it, but I feel it's important.

It's like when you know you know something, you just can't recall the details. I feel like there's something that I need to know, like I'm missing something. I feel different, empty. Like there's this hole in my heart that can't be filled because I can't remember.

Regardless, I finish making my tea and pour some. I walk to my couch and turn on the telly. Time for some morning Doctor Who before I have to get ready for work. The episode on is Doomsday, one of the saddest episodes in my opinion.

"David Tennant, oh how I'd love to meet you..." I trail off, because I feel like those words can't be correct. But I don't know how. I've never met him before...at least not that I can remember...

But how would I possibly forget meeting my favorite actor? So, I haven't met him. Have I?

I shake my head, my brain hurts thinking about it. I switch off the telly. I finish my tea and place the dishes in my sink. I walk into my bedroom to get ready for the day.

I place clothes on racks. I work in a retail shop. It's not my favorite thing in the whole world, but it's better than nothing.

I grab more clothes to hang up when suddenly, I get a head ache. For some reason, my head is warm and hurts like crazy. I check the time. Only an hour left on my shift.

I make it through the rest of the day. I clock out, and grab my things from the break room. I walk out the door and head down the busy sidewalk. I don't live too far, but my head ache has only gotten worse, so it feels like an eternity walking.

I sulk up the stairs to the fourth floor. I open the door and walk through the front door, closing it, then clutching my head as it burned more. I braced onto the wall as a ringing in my ears started.

I mustered up enough energy to get to my bed. I laid down, clutching my head, curling up in a ball. I was in immense pain and didn't know why.

Despite the ringing in my ears, I heard a knock at my front door. I figured it wasn't important, so I didn't get up to answer it. But then, I heard the knocking louder, like pounding, and I think I heard my name being called.

Something inside me said I had to see who it was. I had to know what was happening. I slowly got out of my bed and used the walls as a crutch to get to the door. I opened it. The person standing before me would have been shocking if I could think.

"David Tennant?" I asked. He looked worried, very worried, and very scared. He was in the blue suit that the Doctor wears.

Then, I fall to the ground. Everything starts coming back to me. I remember everything. From the dinner, to the daleks. From the Weeping Angels, to the future that I reversed. All those experiences I had with him, I remember.

Then before I know it, my entire body hurts. I feel like I'm being ripped to shreds then put back together and ripped again. I scream out in pain. I feel my insides turn, my blood pump through my veins. I hear everything around me.

I didn't even realize that he was holding me until I heard him speak.

"Chloe, I'm so sorry. I thought erasing your memories of it all would put the vortex back into being dormant. If the vortex was dormant, then your brain wouldn't be overpowered by it, and you wouldn't die. But I wrong, dead wrong. The exposure to the Tardis and you activating the vortex as many times as you did, then the reversing of time...Chloe the vortex isn't overpowering you, it's changing you." Even though I was screaming, I could hear every word clearly.

Everything hurt. I felt like I was being killed a million times. My head burned, my brain thumped against my skull. I didn't understand what was happening. How was the vortex changing me? What was it changing me into?

"Chloe, I scanned your DNA. It's changing." He paused, "You're becoming a Time Lord."
