Not Alone…Anymore

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who nor do I own the character and plots. There is a lot of talking in this chapter but it is part of the plot line so you'll have to deal with it. I'm sorry.

I got this idea while I was doing dishes and thought it would be a great fan fic story.

No I'm not copying the first episode with Martha. Me and my friend are both planning on being in the medical field.

A young woman named Marissa and her best friend Kathy worked together at a hospital. Marissa was a psychologist on the psych floor and Kathy was an RN that worked on her floor and sometimes the one above or below. The two of them always went to the park for lunch and sat by the water and talked during their break.

One day Marissa and Kathy were walking home from work when they encountered a strange man who just stared at them like he knew something they didn't. They kept walking and walked home. They lived right next to each other in their apartments on the third floor of a New York complex.

The next day they walked to work and saw the man again. Marissa was getting frustrated she didn't want to be in a position to have to worry about her and her friend's safety and Kathy felt the same way but she just shrugged it off.

"That's it I'm gonna talk to him," Marissa said as she walked towards him.

"No, Marissa…" Kathy said but Marissa didn't listen.

Marissa walked up to the man and looked him in the eye.

"Is there something you would like to tell me?" she asked forcefully.

"Wow, you are forceful aren't you?" the man asked with an accent.

"You're not from around here are you? Your accent isn't of New York it sounds more like Europe."

"Forceful and smart very good. Now, where is your friend?"

"You haven't answered my question yet. What are you doing stalking me and my friend?"

"Stalking…I'm not stalking. I'm…protecting."

"From what?"

"Nothing you need to know about. What's your name?"

"You answer first. What's yours?"

"I'm The Doctor."

"Doctor who?"

"Just The Doctor. Now, what's yours?"

"Marissa…Marissa Kay."

"Kay is a weird last name. Where did it come from?"

"It isn't my last name…it's my middle name. I'm a psychologist at St. Laurence Hospital. Everybody calls me Dr. Kay or Doctor. My best friend, Kathy, is an RN at the hospital."

Marissa walked away then turned around, "Well…are you coming?"

The Doctor followed with a strange feeling. He didn't know what this girl was up to. And he was about to find out. He walked up to Kathy and she nodded.

"Doctor this is Kathy. Kathy this is the Doctor," Marissa introduced.

"Hello, Kathy, it's nice to meet you," The Doctor said looking her in the eyes as Marissa did him.

Marissa and Kathy walked off and Marissa turned around, "Doctor, if you're going to protect us you might as well follow us. Come on!"

The Doctor followed the two girls to the hospital and after they signed in they went to Marissa's office. Marissa sat at her desk and put papers in order that they needed to be and sat paperwork for patients in order of which she would see them. After her patients in the office she would visit the children on Kathy's floor and other patients that were bed ridden.

Her desk was of oak and so was the other furniture. She had pictures of her family and Kathy all over the office and two couches setting in front of each other. Her leather chair was of black leather. Brown leather was more expensive and elegant but she loved the look of black leather.

"Nice office you have here. Mind if I sit down?" The Doctor asked.

"Go ahead. What exactly are you protecting us from?" Marissa asked.

"Ever heard of the Sisters of Life?" The Doctor asked.

'gasp' "UH…my grandmother used to talk about them. She said that they were powerful sisters who had control over all life and the Timelords were always their protectors. How do you know about them?"

"I have my ways."

"Why didn't I ever hear this story?" Kathy asked a little disturbed by the secret.

"My grandmother made me swear not to repeat it. And if it would ever come that someone spoke of them to only talk if they asked. I'm sorry, I didn't like not telling you but she made me promise."

"What exactly did she tell you about them and their enemies?"

"Well…when their bodies were dying they would die and be reborn by someone in their original family line. They wouldn't have recollection of their power until a Timelord came and told them bits and pieces of their powers and memories then they would remember everything. They were much like the Timelords except that when they regenerated they were babies instead of younger bodies. Most species were their sworn enemies but there were a few exceptions one being the Timelords. Their lives were longer than humans as well. Once they remembered their power they would both make their own potion and give themselves long life and beauty so that they could live to help when they could. Just the two of them were like this they were once Timelords themselves but they were given powers by an ancient magic and it changed them."

"What of their enemies do you know of?" The Doctor asked intently as he stood up and looked out the window.

"The Daleks, Sycarox, Cybermen, and many many others were their enemies. But with just them and a Timelord they survived. Why are you asking me this? I may be smart but I don't know every…"

"Ah…you do know everything about it. Your grandmother told you but you don't know who I am. Who is your grandmother?"

"Sarah Jane Smith, why?"
