Chapter 1
Six months ago I was living a normal life, great friends, nice family and I was Nick, but that was all before the day I died.
Now I know what you're probably thinking how can you be telling us about your death if you're dead. Well you see I'm not really dead because I can't die at this moment in time, but to every one else I am dead.
I've always been a magnet for the paranormal, and I've always felt that I was a bit different, but I never knew I was this different. I had always dreamed of a new world and places, along with being something more than human even by the slightest inch and believe me I'm far from human.
It all started six months ago, late one night while I was driving home from a friend's house. I was driving across a four way intersection when all of a sudden a drunk driver hit me from the side of my car. The force the driver hit me with was like falling from the top of a tree. I felt the crash kill me instantly, my heart stopped, my breath froze, and everything went black. Soon police and ambulances were everywhere and they found my cold, dead lifeless body.
I was enclosed in darkness complete and total emptiness. It was so lonely nothing but myself no voice, no body, just me. I walked around for what felt like days just looking and looking, I'm not even sure if I was moving to be honest. It all looked the same. I shouted and there was no echo, nothing just nothing. Eventually, though, there was a light that appeared full of colors and life.
With a gasp of air I woke up screaming practically, shouting and looking around. I was in some kind of large dome like structure with very dim lights.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked myself
"Oh it's quite simple really." A voice said from behind me
I froze, there was someone else here someone with me and I was dead, I turned around to find a man staring at me.
"Hello." he said
"Are you god?" I asked
"Me? No. You're not even dead." replied the man
"Then who are you? And where am I?" I asked
"For starters I'm you." he said "sorta"
"What?" I said, my mind was about to burst at this point
"Ya. Well it's more like you're me" the other me said
"How?" I asked
"Well it's a long story." He said putting his hands in his pockets
"I'm up for it, I mean I'm not dead, so I'd like to hear an explanation." I said giving him a look to tell him I was listening
"Well I'm a Time Lord you see, and when I was traveling through time and space in my TARDIS, which is what you're in right now, I came across another time lord called The Jester and he placed a curse on me called the fade" he said
"The fade?" I asked
"Yes the fade is a Time Lord curse, and a Time Lord can only place the fade on another Time Lord, and then the Time Lord who has the fade placed on him or her begins to die."
"Ok" I said
"You're not going to ask what a Time Lord is?" the older me asked
"No" I replied "I watch the show"
"The show?" the older me asked
"Ya. Doctor Who" I replied "With The Doctor and how he travels in time and space"
"The Doctor?!" said the other me "bastard" he mumbled to himself
"Anyway, I came to Earth so I the essence of me could live on, I placed my essence into a couple and then their children could or could not be Time Lord/ Human children." He said
"And I'm one of those children?" I asked
"Yes" He said
"Then wasn't their a chance that none my sibling or I could have been a Time Lord Child"
"Ah excellent point, see the first child was guaranteed to be a Time Lord" he said
"Ok" I said
"So where was I?" he stopped to remember "Oh right! So when that child would die he or she, but in this case it's a he, would become a Time Lord, once you were buried your body or ashes, if you were cremated, would appear in the TARDIS and you would become Origin, which is us." The older me said
"Origin? What type of name is that?" I asked
"The one I chose" Origin replied
"Fine" I said "So now I'm suppose to travel the universe forever?"
"Yep." Origin said "The sonic screwdriver is on the control panel so use it, and any thing else you can find."
"but-" I was cut off
"-but nothing. You have a nowhere to go. Remember even though you are a Time Lord now you also have you human characteristics. Also the cloaking mechanism to the TARDIS is broken so it looks like a British phone booth, I rather like it."
"Wait! If you're suppose to be dead how are you here?" I asked
"Oh me I'm a hologram" The hologram said and then he was gone.
