Come With Me (A Multi-Doctor Story)

9. I Know You

     The Seer walked slowly toward the old TARDIS. She dreaded having to witness what had taken place while she was absent. She slowly opened the TARDIS door and looked inside.

     Koschei and the Doctor stood arguing about some matter or another. The human fled out the door almost as soon as the Seer stepped into the TARDIS. The door swung shut, but it didn't close as quietly as before. The two Time Lords gave her a cursory glance before turning back to their argument. The Seer frowned, seeing that Amy still lay on the floor unconcious. Grace was in the process of waking up but the Time Lady didn't go to her. Instead she paid attention to the argument that was taking place between her two school-mates.

     What happened between then and now? the Seer thought, Then friends, now enemies.... I wonder if it's like this with the other Doctor?

     Grace was now crawling away from the Eye of Harmony and towards the door, shocked.

      The Master looked at her with an amused look on his face and said louder than he had been speaking before, "I don't know why you keep companions, they're always so weak."

      "You do not seem to remember Kamelion," the Doctor smirked. The Master looked like he swallowed a bottle of lemon juice.

       "He was just a pawn to get to the real prize."

        "But there were others." the Doctor insisted. It was silent, almost as though Koschei was unable to think of a response. The Doctor frowned and came closer and the Master looked even more bitter.

    "Stop." he sounded once again like a young child on Gallifrey. The young 50 year old that she knew from the Academy, his voice had the same whine and everything. The Seer couldn't help but be amused by this. She must have made some sort of sound because the Master stopped and looked at her once again. Then he said words that she never thought she'd hear from this pair of Time Lords--these Gallifreyans that barely passed the Academy and didn't pay mind to anybody but themselves and their group of friends.

  "I know you." the words were just a whisper from the Doctor's lips. She wasn't sure whether to respond shocked, surprised or sassy. 

      She went with her gut feeling of "Took you long enough." She crossed her arms. She wasn't usually one of those 'arm crossing' types, but it felt right. Usually she was a lot nicer than that. Like the Doctor, but he hadn't been through what she had. She was an outcast. One of the weird ones with special abilities.

        She could see the future. While others had skills like history or math, maybe even medical skills--like the Doctor--she was stuck with visions of the future. At first it had been small, like was expected of all gifts. It only happened when she touched someone. It had started at a young age--10. At first she went along her merry way, telling others of these pictures that danced in her head. That's all that anyone thought that they were, at first. Pictures. The imaginings of a child. But then they started coming true. Not all at once, some came true within a matter of minutes, while others took centuries to come true.

       There weren't many on Gallifrey that had powers like this, so the Council kept her quiet. They told her to keep her visions to herself. But after a while the visions got more serious. More and more serious. Death, destruction for other planets, creatures--even Gallifreyans themselves. The Seer started to break down. Only 75 and she was already starting to break.

      The Seer shook her head as memories threatened to overtake her. It was hard. Often times memories were just as bad as visions for overtaking her senses. The Seer held it off, though. She held off the memories of the Prydonian chapter and paid attention to the Doctor and the Master. The Doctor was still quiet. He was unnaturally quiet but the Seer couldn't tell why. Then it all got inturrupted.
