"So where are we this time?" Isabella asked while leaving the TARDIS.

"Well that's a surprise, who would want to ruin a good surprise? Not me that's for sure!" The Doctor said with a grin.

The Doctor followed Iz, while taking some of her bags with him, going unnoticed by Iz of course.

"What's with all the bags, are we staying somewhere else this time?" Iz questioned

"No, I'm not staying but you are. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry but you can't come with me. Not this time. Something's happening something big and its too dangerous for you and I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you so here we are and these are for you, obviously, " He replied quickly avoiding eye contact at all times.

"What you're…you're leaving me here? But you can't I mean what am I supposed to do here anyway…I wont let you leave me" Iz protested

"I'm sorry but listen in this bag," pointing to the bag, "there is a letter, give it to the King, he will understand and don't worry you have met him before"

" No! No! No! You are not leaving me here and that's final" Iz said as she tried to hold back tears.

" I'm sorry but I have to. You will be fine…I know you will…come on it wont be for long anyway," Behind him the TARDIS started to make a strange noise, "I'm sorry but I have to go now…come on it will be fine and I'll be back before you know it…trust me"

" I do trust you but I don't understand"

" I know and I will explain but not now…now I have to go…be safe Isabella," The Doctor said looking straight into her eyes, "Promise me you will stay safe and not to use your powers so much around here…promise me"

" I promise…I guess this is goodbye….for now" Iz said smiling slightly, but the Doctor knew better he knew she was just trying to be strong, he knew that he was hurting her so much at the moment, but he had no choice he couldn't let her die knowing it was his fault and that he could've done something about it. So he was doing something, so it wasn't the best idea but it was the best he could come up with at such short notice. What else was he to do he would not let her die, not at his hands at least.

" Yeah…but I will come back for you…and until then I'm just a phone call away ok," with that said the Doctor kissed Iz's forehead and walked back into the TARDIS, leaving Iz alone in a place she has yet to remember. He felt remorse for what he had done but he knew that she would be ok, so that helped with the loss and pain of being alone again but this time it was his own doing and he couldn't change his decision, not now, but he would be back.

Iz stood watching the TARDIS disappear leaving her behind in a new world, though the Doctor had said she had been here before, it wasn't as comforting as he may have hoped. Once the TARDIS had disappeared she picked up her bags, turned around, took a breath and made her way towards a huge, beautiful castle, where she believed the King would be.

As she walked she couldn't help but notice how many people were looking at her, giving her strange looks: some of pity, some of hate and some were frightened of her. She couldn't help but laugh at that one because they really should be scared of her. They had no idea how powerful a witch she was, not that she would ever use her powers to harm an innocent person that was just not her. After walking for a few minutes she finally got fed up of the stares and walked up to a girl who looked around her age, with dark hair, fairly dark skin and was quite pretty if Iz was being honest.

"Excuse me but do you mind telling me why people keep staring at me? Do I have something on my face?" Iz asked

"No its your clothes, they're a bit strange aren't they?" Her clothes Iz thought, she looked down and she was wearing knee length heeled boots, with a denim skirt and a pink camisole top and thought nothing strange about it, until she looked around and realised she didn't exactly blend into the crowd, though that was nothing new to Iz. She had never really fit in anywhere anyway, except maybe just with the Doctor. Iz smiled at the girl.

" Oops, but…erm…could you tell me where we are I'm not exactly sure"

"Yeah, this is Camelot"

" Camelot! As in THE Camelot?" Iz asked shocked, no wonder the Doctor had said she had been her before.

" Yes..Why?"

" No reason," Iz replied while quickly gaining her composure again, " Erm…I'm Isabella but most people call me Iz" she said nervously.

" Nice to meet you Iz…I'm Guinevere but most people call me Gwen" Gwen smiled back at Iz

" Nice to meet you Gwen, so do you mind telling who the King at the moment?"

" King Uther…why?"

" No reason in particular…you wouldn't know for any reason how I could possibly talk to him do you?" Iz asked

" No, I really couldn't," Gwen, said laughing "Although dressed like that I'm sure the guards will take you to him thinking you're a witch or something" Iz smiled

" Great lets go"

To Iz's surprise Gwen was right, the guards grabbed hold of her as soon as they laid their eyes on her and took her straight to the King. Iz could only hope that Uther remembered her or even the Doctor. As the guards explained the situation to Uther, Iz placed her bags on the long wooden table as instructed, Uther had not seen her properly so of course he didn't know it was her, Iz having her back to him didn't exactly help either.

" You girl turn around and face your King," Uther said in a stern voice. With that Iz took a deep breath and slowly turned around, as she did she could see and feel the recognition in Uther's eyes.

"Isabella?"

"Yeah Uther its me," Iz said smiling

"Oh my god…what are you doing here?" he questioned while giving her a quick hug, the rest of the room shocked and confused by their Kings sudden change in attitude.

"Erm I don't actually know…but the Doctor sent me here I guess…erm he gave me something to give to you actually…hold on a minute," Iz said as she started looking through her bag. " Here," she said while handing the letter over.

She stood and watched Uther read the letter carefully, once finished he handed the letter back to her and smiled.

"Well that explains things then, so now moving on to more important matters where will you be staying during your time here in Camelot?" he asked gently

" Oh well I don't actually know" Iz replied

"You don't know? Well that is no problem you will stay here in the castle. End of discussion." He said noticing how Iz was about to protest to the idea.

" Thank you Uther" Iz smiled as she let the guards show her to her new room within the castle. Although it was a strange situation for her, she was somewhat pleased with the outcome. But somewhere inside of her she knew there was a danger lurking, she had an instinct for such things; she would just have to keep an eye out.

So what do you think? Please review and let me know if I should continue. Thanks!
