Hello everybody! It's a new story and guess what? It's a Doctor Who story!

So, this is going to be an OC story and it will be my goal to update frequently (like you guys haven't heard that one before), but I will try. Obviously things will be similar to the story, but also different. I'd love to hear your feedback; what you thought, what you think or would like to happen, etc.

I even plan on doing a related "story" that will be more interactions and sequences between the OC I hope you will all come to love, and the amazing characters in Doctor Who.

Please note: I do not own Doctor Who or any of it's characters and stories.

Prologue

It was a Tuesday night; completely normal and average, just like any other. It was nearly seven thirty in the afternoon as the sun was beginning to fall past the sky line. The temperature had barely made it past a high of forty degrees Fahrenheit for the beginning of March.

Sparrow, a woman with pale, freckled skin had just made it back from her day job and arrived at her not so lavish New York apartment. Her fiery red hair blew across her face in every direction as she walked from the car park to the front lobby of her building on Tiemann Place.

It was a simple, pale colored building, one of two identical apartments, just out of reach of Harlem. There wasn't much that was special about the buildings; they were old, and no one was in a hurry to renovate them any time soon.

One thing Sparrow highly enjoyed about its location though, was that that her apartments was just off the corner of Riverside Park where she could spend her time in the closest thing to nature in such a big city and not a few block off was even the Hudson River. Even though the water was a hideous brown color, the girl still liked to watch as the waves from the passing boats crashed against the seawall.

Finally inside, Sparrow tried to smooth down her hair as she tucked it behind her ears where she liked to keep it out of her face. Just like every other day, she walked up to her designated mailbox and unlocked small metal door, checking her received mail. There wasn't a lot in the container, just a few envelopes and a magazine. She closed the door to her box and began to head towards the elevator so she could finally make it to her apartment and end the day.

As she waited for the car to arrive in the lobby, she sorted through her mail. The first envelope was a bill. Sparrow cringed as she tucked it in the bottom of the pile. The magazine was from her monthly subscription to Entertainment Weekly; on the cover was an advertisement for a new movie she didn't care for. She tucked that at the bottom of the pile as well and continued looking through the pile.

Next was another envelope; plain white paper, no postal stamp, and just her address written in black ink.

"Huh." Sparrow's brows furrowed together as she tried to think who the letter might be from.

Her thoughts were interrupted briefly as the elevator dinged and the doors opened to her. She looked up, forgetting about the letter briefly and stepped inside. The fifth floor button lit up as she pressed it and the doors began to close. Soon enough, she was moving up.

Her attention turned back to the mail in her hands and she tucked the rest into the messenger bag over her shoulder, more intrigued with the unmarked letter. She turned it over in her hands, but there were still no identifying marks.

The elevator doors opened and Sparrow decided as she stepped out that there was no point in not opening the letter. She ripped the top of the envelope off and looked inside, but there was no letter. The only thing she saw was a small card, but she couldn't see what was on it.

She had made the short walk to her apartment door and unlocked the door, stepping inside. There wasn't much furnishing the rooms and she lived alone, so there was no need to impress anyone. People hardly visited, Sparrow barely had friends over, and there wasn't much happening in her small apartment. The only person who visited occasionally was Sparrow's sister, but that wasn't often enough. There were just a few chairs, a small table, couch, television, a desk for working, a bedroom for sleeping, and a kitchen for cooking.

Sparrow closed the door behind her and shrugged the bag off her shoulder, onto the floor, set her keys in a dish on the counter, and took another look in the mysterious envelope. This time she took the card out of the envelope to examine it further.

Nothing about it seemed special; it was just a small laminated card, larger than most, but still small enough that it could fit in a wallet. To make it even stranger to the girl, there were absolutely no markings on it. There was dirt like it had been previously used, but not a single letter, indicating otherwise.

Again she flipped it over in her hands, trying to make sense of the card and envelope, but not a single reason came to mind. "This is ridiculous," Sparrow groaned as she rolled her eyes and walked into her kitchen. She opened the lid to her trash bin, ready to throw the card out, but something stopped her. Why would someone send this?

She pulled her hand away, deciding against throwing out the card and rolled her eyes. It may have been blank, but she held a lot of curiosity with the card and just couldn't get rid of it.

Sparrow decided to keep it, at least for a while and hung it up on her refrigerator with a magnet, turning to stash the envelope in a kitchen drawer.

A familiar noise reached her ears and Sparrow turned to look down the short hall towards her room. She could hear the TARDIS grinding and smiled as she quickly hurried through her bedroom door. Her computer monitor lit up as she shook the mouse and hit the answer button to the video call she was receiving.

"Hi, Merry! How have you been? How's Florida?" Sparrow chimed as she got to see the face of her sister. It had been a few weeks since they last spoke, and she missed her.

Sparrow was so excited to see her sister that she ran off in a hurry without seeing what was happening. She didn't get to see as partial letters and shapes began to write themselves on the once blank card hanging on her fridge, and then fade away again shortly after.

Keep a look out for chapter 1 coming out shortly. I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks!
