A/N: Yes, it's another Mackenzie Dalton story. I promised I'd write a sequel to The Seer and here it is. I've decided that I will be writing more Mackenzie stories from now on since the announcement of Donna Noble's return. Now I have nothing against Catherine Tate, and she was okay in Runaway Bride, but to have her for a full thirteen weeks. Ugh. But I am shutting up now, please R/R.

Wasteland

From the Diary of Mackenzie Dalton

It all began, blimey I don't know. A day, two days, a month ago, that's what happens when you travel in a time machine; you loose track of time. Anyway, my travels all began with the Doctor when he came into my well, technically my mum's bookstore. A chain of events followed, all pretty horrifying to say the least, I don't like mentioning too much about it for fear it will come back and haunt me all over again. The Doctor says that's nonsense but, why tempt fate. If you had to deal with what I had to deal with, you'd understand my reluctance to talk about it or even write it down. But the Doctor saved me from it, shoot more than that, he saved the universe. I just happened to be in the way when it happened. But I haven't been any happier since I have met the Doctor. No more objects in the shadows and no more ominous terrors stalking me. And I owe it to the Doctor. No, I am not bragging on him. Okay, maybe I am. But if you had this guy walk into your life and save you from your worst nightmares and fears, you'd feel something too. And before you start ranting and raving that I have fallen for him, I am telling you it's isn't what you think it is. At least I think it isn't. I can't really explain what I feel for him. But to me, being with him is comforting. I have known so little comfort in my life and well it's like being wrapped in a warm blanket of reassurance. He feels so old to me, older than what he looks. It's a feeling of protection and I feel as if he's my protector, perhaps even my guardian angel. But I am writing of what I consider my first journey we had together. This is how I became so much more than a girl in a bookshop and the Doctor showed me the wonders and terrors of the universe.
