"You have an arch enemy? Who are you in your world?" She asks "Katrina the Doctors daughter. And this is not good." I say still staring at them "I think my secret is out." She looks at me "Don't worry. I'll make sure your safe." I smile slightly back "Thanks. " I stare ahead as I see the Master and the headmaster walking towards me.
She grabs my arms and turns me around to face her, her whispering "Trust me, go with it" she puts her hand to my forehead "Katrina? Do you feel ok?" She pronounces saying it just loud enough for the headmaster and the Master to hear. I go along with it, pretending not to feel so well "Oh...I don't think so..." She leads me over to the cot and helps me lay down just as the headmaster comes.
"What is going on?" He asks.
"I'm not sure, all of a sudden she got a strange look on her face and was dizzy." She answers hoping that this will work and keep them away. I lay there looking sick like I'm going to pass out.
"Shh, just rest Katrina." She says to me.
The headmaster looks down at me "What's wrong?" I answer. "I feel...really dizzy..." I think maybe if I do a good Pass out they might be fooled, but I don't do it yet.
He looks down "Ingrid is right. Just rest. I'll be back later to check on you." He turns and walks out of the room, the Master following. However, the Master gives me the slightest sympathetic look before leaving.
I wait for them to leave and then whisper to Ingrid, now knowing her name "It worked. Hmm was that a sympathetic look on the Master's face?"
She looks up at them across the prison "I think it was. Good job. They'll probably stay away for a while now. You never know though." Then I suddenly remembered my parallel self in here. "My dream. Wait. I know why I'm in here. I work with the Master or at least my parallel self does. That must be my job" She looks at me "You do? How do you know?"
"I had a dream of where my parallel self was once. And then I talked with her. Learned her past. You were there too. She was just misunderstood." She looks down thinking "Interesting. A dream across worlds. Sounds like something he would say."
"He?" I ask. She responds, "The Doctor."
------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, I am holding up a device as we run through the streets "The energy trace leads over here!" I run up to a warehouse. The Doctor follows me looking for any signs of his Katrina. "Let's look in here" I say and open the door to the warehouse with my sonic, walking inside cautiously. The Doctor looks at me not noticing my sonic "Why are you helping me?"
I look at him "Well because I want to reunite you with, your daughter the parallel me. She still has you. But I will never have that again..." I slightly look down and then continue sonicing the area with my sonic "I'm sorry..." He sympathizes. Busy with the sonic I answer "Don't be sorry. It was a long time ago." I continue walking keeping alert in the dark warehouse.
"You're very brave. Thankyou."
"I know..." I cut off as I hear someone ahead, I grab his hand and pull him and me somewhere to hide. He looks around and breathes a whisper to me "Shh..." We listen as we hear some people talking. The Doctor holds his breath, the voice seems familiar but at the same time, like he's never heard it before.
