I can see everything. All that is, all that was, all that ever could be.
I can't tell you when it all started, I've always been able too for as long as I could remember. When I was born, My mother named me Bridget Anna-Dani Wolf temple. Everyone was against the name from the start, but she's quite the stubborn woman. Donna Noble always gets what she wants, that's rule one my father learned from the start. Not that he's my real father of course, He wasn't able to produce enough sperm to conceive. It's amazing how many people will ask me why I look absolutely nothing like him. Does it matter that I'm completely white, and He's black? He's the man that raised me, that's all it matters. Still peope in chiswick are quite nosy. I once even joked, "I'm not black? Mum!" then i would pretend to run panicking. People of chiswick have no sense of humor, and it's no wonder I want to move to London.
I'm 21 years old, and I work in a shop. Mum wanted me to become a temp and work in an office. From the start I knew exactly what I wanted. I'm going to travel the world, get away from the normal life of England. Mum scolds me about my day dreaming, but I can see that she envy me. Every now and again I can see the loneliness in her eyes. It's like something was missing, like she was missing something but can't remember. As a kid, I would dream that she was traveling the starts with a skinny man in a suit. Great-granddad used to listen to me about it, it's almost like it believed it to be true. I just laughed, no way anyone can travel the stars. I mean, there were rumors about Aliens but that was long before I was ever thought about.
Beep!
Smacking off the alarm, I turn to look at the ceiling. It's filled with stars, glowing-in-the dark kind. They were rustic, and falling apart but still there they were. In my heart, I know there is something missing. As I grow older, I can always feel like there was someone waiting for me. Not that I'm sucker for anything romantic, but I'm still a girl after all. Sitting up, I could hear mum shuffling about downstairs..Almost scared. Quickly placing on my robes and slippers, and hurried down only to find everything completely fine. Or so I thought. There was something completely off about her, Like she didn't notice my presence. She looked up, but not at me. As if someone standing next to her, I always knew that she was mad.
" A great big empire, built on slavery." Slavery? Well anything was possible with the council these days. That wasn't the end of it though. "Oy, I haven't got slaves." Okay, at least she's making semi-sense, even if it was to no one. " Is that why you travel 'round with a human at your side? It's not so you can show them the wonders of the universe, it's so you can take cheap shots?" Now it was all starting to sound familiar, like in a dream. "Don't. Spaceman." I rushed over and touched her shoulder, and she snapped completely out of it. "Mum! What was all that about?" Donna Temple Noble Blinked at her only daughter, almost like no one was home. "Oi" I shouted, but still no answer. I tried to sit her down while I phoned Great-grand dad but the nursing home wasn't letting me though. When I came back, I found her on the floor. Running my hands though my hair, i rushed to phone the ambulance trying to check her pulse. The faint thump made my own breath quicken, I couldn't lose her like this.
By the time we arrived at the ER, she had gone into cardiac arrest and her heart just gave out. There was no way of reviving her after that, I just couldn't function after that. Tears covering my face, my legs gave out from underneath me. I could hear yelling and screaming, only to faintly realize that it was all coming from me. They should have done something to save her, she was still so young. The medics forced me to take a tranquilizer, and then offered me a room to sleep in to calm down. Dad showed up something that night, he was in worse shape than I was. He had been out of town, he hadn't even seen mum in a week. I stood there, I felt so numb that I walked past him only to run into a skinny man. "Sorry." There was no feeling, no heart..I just couldn't bring myself to come back into reality. How doesn't one accept the truth about her own mother's death. Thinking that he was gone, she continued to walk only to stopped by him. "What happened to Donna Noble!" Blinking, I turned my head but didn't say anything. Who is he? "What happened?!" I could see genuine concern in his eyes for her, but how did he know her. "She's dead." The sound of my own voice was so cold, uncaring, and even cruel but there was nothing I could do about it.
He grabbed a hold of my arm, I just gasped at him. As if I was some innocent woman that he could push around so I grabbed him and shook him off. Before I could stop myself, I grabbed his shirt and shoved him against the wall. My eyes widen, this was out of character. From the look in the man's eyes, he's never been this position either. Not letting this man get the best of me, I cleared my throat. "No one touches me..Ever" Backing away, I ran my hand though my hair. This man never moved his spot, like he thought she was going to attack again. "I'm terribly sorry..I'm shock, I can't believe she's gone."
"You knew her?" I asked.
"Many Many years ago..Your her daughter?" He asked, though I wasn't sure what I should say to this man. If mum really knew him, then I should trust her taste in friends but then again he could be lying.
"What's your name?" I asked, but I really wasn't feeling it and He knew it.
"That doesn't matter, are you okay?" A stranger was asking if I was okay! What was I suppose to say to him, without looking like a complete nutter.
"I'm fine..My mother goes nutters and dies on me..I'm bloody fantastic!" Rolling my eyes, I just sat down at the nearest chair hoping that he would just leave. Instead he touched my head, what a strange man. Then suddenly something that, almost like a zap to my head. It happened so fast, so amazing. In matters of 1 second, I knew something I couldn't have before.
"Your the doctor! The doctor? What the bloody hell are you the doctor of?"
Again, he looked confused like I wasn't suppose to know that. What am i suppose to do, let him go and pretend none of this happened. Then I looked closer at him, I should have realized sooner. The dreams. "The dreams." Looking at him, I waited for him to speak but he seemed awfully quiet.
"Well go on then, speak!" He just smiled, like I reminded him of something.
"You sound so much like mother..I'm the doctor. Just the doctor. I knew your mother before you were born. She used to travel with me."
Mum travel? Rubbish, she hated whenever I bought traveling to France or even Germany. Or really was it that she knew that her time of traveling was over, and just jealous? The mother I knew wasn't envy of anyone, she always reached out for what she wanted.
"Travel where?"
