The Parallel Side

Chapter 4. You have to go back.

Meanwhile, the Doctor scans the burned area from the TARDIS "It's all jumbled... Can't get a clear reading." I examine the area outside the Tardis and I spot something "hey Doctor I found something. It's a sonic screwdriver. Must have been Katrinas." I pick it up but as soon as I do it burns my hand "Ouch! It's hot."

He calls out to me "Oh, careful! Whatever energy that was here must be powerful. Maybe she was scanning it too and it absorbed some of the power?"

"Yeah, you're telling me." I state sarcastically holding my burnt fingers, suddenly getting a good idea "Hey Doctor! We could see what she had scanned on her screwdriver." 

"We could! Great idea!" He smiles cheerfully at me, almost forgetting for a moment that I'm not his true daughter. I smile back, but keeping it not personal, knowing that he's not my real dad "Be careful though it's hot." He steps out of the Tardis and scans her screwdriver with his which causes a spark "Oh blimey, well I won't be doing that again..." I jumped back quickly from the spark. "Yeah." He stands there formulating any other thoughts of how to get the information off of it "Um... Any other ideas?" I answer. "Well, we can wait for it to cool down and then look at the readings on it. In the meantime try to locate the machine that took her there, and me here." 

"Ok. I wonder what that would look like..." he steps slowly around the yard staring down at the ground focused and scanning it with his eyes. I follow him doing the same "See anything?" He asks. I notice a shape of a square in the middle of the burnt area seeming to be the origin point. "Yeah! I think I found where the machine was." He comes over. "Where?"

I point examining the area "Here. It looks like it was dug into the ground like it was linking with the earth. Or perhaps this world's timeline." 

"Could be..." he mumbles kneeling down to look at it closer "I think you're right."

"Possibly linking it to our timelines and worlds to use to switch places." I comment kneeling down too, observing it "They must of took the machine as to not leave behind evidence" I say. used to how enemies work as knowing how to do a crime. He grins widely "You're brilliant!" I smile back "Yep. I have my moments." I get up Leaning against a tree.

"So. What do we do now? Do you know what is happening to my Katrina?" He questions. I reply shrugging "No idea. Except for the headmaster possibly approaching her."

--------------

Meanwhile. I sit there thinking "So the headmaster does he know I am.." I glance over towards the lady.

"He may know but he keeps it secret if he does. Be careful, you know what he does to Timelords."

"What does he do?" I ask a bit scared.

--------------------

      "How long will it be before someone knows it's not you?" He looks at me. "Well if your katrina is good at hiding, then I believe less than a day. We don't have much time." I state crossing my arms, determined I'm not going to go back there. He replied back as if reading my mind. Which could of been exactly what he did "If you two aren't in your correct worlds, bad things can happen. I think you know that though." his words speaking directly to me, as I was wanting to stay and not go back "Yes." I admit walking over to him, rather grumpily.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So do you think he will try to catch me?" I ask the lady who had been talking to me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 "You can't stay here. You have to go back to your own world." He looks at me knowing that i don't want to go back. I stare at directly challenging him "I'm not going back! You don't know what they did to me in that prison." I yell then walk to the tree again and leans on it arms crossed. He gives me back a challenging stare. "No, I don't. And I'm very sorry, but this world can't have two of you! And if you were both here, people from your universe might come here looking for you. I will not let that happen."

I look down "I know..." I trace my fingers over a few of the injection holes on my neck remembering what they did to me. He sees this stares at me with more compassionate eyes continuing in a lower voice. "Listen, I know it's hard to imagine going back. But the consequences if you don't will be greater." "I know." I answer still looking down in deep thought "It was my fault for getting in there in the first place I have to serve what I did." I look up "Ok. I will help you but promise me you will stop that cruel headmaster of the prison." I boldly say.

"Promise."
