The TARDIS landed with a jolt on the street corner, sending the Doctor sprawled on the ground.
"Ow." He grumbled, standing and brushing himself off.
He felt, odd. A familiar feeling, sort of like a tug. How could he forget that feeling even briefly?
"There's another Timelord..." He breathed, turning to the door and quickly going out into the abandoned street.
There was almost no one out, only one man, but he looked scared; as though he expected to be attacked out of nowhere.
The Doctor walked over to him and looked into his eyes.
"Uhm.. Hello? Did you need something?" The man raised his eyebrows and glanced over his shoulder.
"No, nothing... Why are you so scared?" The Doctor asked.
"If you don't already know, god help you." The man hurried off down the street, leaving the Doctor blinking in confusion. What did he mean by that? He continued down the street, looking for someone; anyone.
The sound of sirens started approaching and soon a dozen or so cops cars rolled down the street, surrounding a large grey building further up the road.
"We have you surrounded. Come out with your hands up or we're coming in to you." One of the officers spoke through a mega-phone.
The Doctor watched with curiosity and got closer, moving across the street from the building to watch. He saw movement on the roof and looked up to see a girl -looking to be at least 18- standing up on the roof looking down on the police officers with a slightly annoyed look.
Her bone straight auburn hair went half-way down her back and her bangs were like fluff, stopping just above her eyes. She met the Doctors gaze and grinned with strangely sharp teeth. His hearts nearly stopped.
He recognized her, but her eyes finalized who she was. They were a bright blue, but the blue was surrounded with a ring of glowing, bright red and her pupils were like a cats.
"Come down now, this is your last warning." The police took aim at her with their guns. Her grin only grew and she jerked her head to the side, as though telling the Doctor to follow her towards the TARDIS.
As the first shot rang off she ran, leaping over the alley between the buildings without hesitation and going from roof to roof, every shot given off by the police missing. The Doctor raced after her, down the sidewalk towards the TARDIS but barely glancing away from her.
They met the TARDIS at the same time, the Doctor swiftly unlocking the door and they burst through, slamming it shut behind them. The Doctor stared at her in disbelief.
"How are you... How are you here?"
"Oh, I see you already know who I am then. I suppose you wouldn't mind telling me who you are." She replied, crossing her arms. The red was slowly fading from her eyes and she had a smudge of blood on the side of her mouth.
"I'm the Doctor." He said, wincing as her eyes lit up.
'The madman! So you're the one who stopped the Time War." She grinned.
"Yes, Messenger," He nearly spat her name out. "I am. But how are you even here! You were supposed to be with your sister! You couldn't go a mile away from her, nevertheless galaxies!"
The Messengers smile faltered and she looked past him, clenching her jaw.
"She finally paid for abandoning me." She snarled, taking a small microchip out of her pocket and holding it out to him on the palm of her hand.
The Doctor took the microchip and turned it over in his fingers before his gaze turned back to her with a look of horror and disbelief.
"Oh you're still delusional, aren't you?" The Messenger looked disappointed, meeting his eyes again.
"You killed your own-"
"She deserved it!" She snapped, baring her teeth.
The Doctor looked taken aback and shook his head.
"What about that, thing in your head?"
"He isn't a thing! He's still with me." She muttered something under her breath and her gaze was cast down on the floor for a second before returning to bitterness, returning the Doctors gaze again and grinning.
"Why were the police after you..?" The Doctor asked cautiously.
"You sure do ask a lot of questions don't you."
"Just curious."
"Well they were over-reacting. You torture and eat a few people, burn down a few apartment building and everyone goes nuts!" She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, looking genuinely annoyed. Again the Doctor stared at her.
"You ate people!?" He exclaimed.
"Well, yeah. Obviously. What else would I eat?"
He was staring again, looking absolutely horrified.
"Well, now that that's over with, where are we off to, Doctor!"
