The Scarlett Lady

Prologue:

The tired nun stepped out of the convent; her brown eyes old with age and experience as she made her way to the dumpsters to throw away some trash. As she swung the trash over the rim, a noise caught her attention. A baby's cry was heard from the front of the building. Alarmed, she quickly made her way over to the source and gasped. Indeed, a small baby lay in a basket bundled up. Looking around to see who could've left the child, she bent down to get a better look. The baby opened her eyes to reveal one green eye and one blue. She giggled at the nun and shook her little head of whitish hair. The nun smiled and picked up the baby. A note slipped out of the basket.

Take care of my little Scarlett, she is very special. Make sure she knows she was loved. The pocket watch and locket are hers as well. With love, Mother and Father

The nun looked from the note to the baby and smiled, walking into the convent with her not knowing she was being watched from far away.

Chapter 1:

The Doctor fiddled around with the Tardis. Sparks could be seen every once in a while but he had it under cover as usual, or so he said. "Oh come on baby, work with me here love." He yelled at the time machine. Suddenly it sprung to life. "Yes, now that's more like it!" he exclaimed jumping up and moving toward the controls. He had left the Ponds at their home for a bit of a vacation before the Tardis began acting up and honestly, he was beginning to miss the two humans. Just as he was going to pull the lever, the Tardis began moving on it's on.

He looked up and realized what was happening and tried to stop it. "No no no! Come on! What's wrong now?!" he yelled again trying to stabilize the machine. It flew through time and space slowing making it's way toward Earth. He tried to fix it, when suddenly it landed. "Now, where have you taken us…" he said and prepared to walk out the doors. Pushing the handle open, he stepped outside revealing an Earth street.

-Scarlett-

I grabbed my books from my closet and pulled on my shoes running because I was going to be late for class. Sister Margret would have my behind if I didn't hurry… I slipped my father's pocket watch into my bag ( /entry/19367482) and put on my mother's locket ( /entry/47033556/via/SofiaX_X2121). I never left home without either of them, made me feel like they were always with me even if I didn't know exactly who they were. I didn't blame my parents for abandoning me; I knew deep down inside that they must've had a good reason to. Looking at the watch before slipping it inside my bag, I looked up and noticed the clock on my watch and gasped. I was going to be late.

I slipped on my grey cardigan over my catholic school uniform ( scarlett/set?id=67273343). I made my way around the stone wall corner and hurried along before a voice startled me. "Oh look, it's the Scarlett Letter." Looking up, I saw Alice and her friends in the same uniform as me surrounding me. "Hi Alice…"I mumbled. "What was that freak?" she said stepping closer. "I said hi…I need to go to class…" I mumbled again. They laughed, "Oh really? Well is that why we should let you go? How about you do go, go away from here huh?" she said pulling my hair a little. "Please Alice I just need to go." I said whimpering. She was getting mad, I could tell. "Don't tell me what to do!" she said and she pulled back her hand across my face.

-The Doctor-

I had no clue where I was. But…then again the fact it was Earth was a bit of a consolation. I began to walk down the stone street when I noticed a group of girls in a circle. I couldn't really make it what they were doing but I could sense something was up. "Don't tell me what to do!" one of the yelled and that's when I heard the sound, the sound of someone being hit in the face. I heard a crash and the girls laughed beginning to walk away, leaving one, who I suppose was the one hit, on the floor with her head down. I waited till they left and ran over to the girl. "Hello there, are you alright?" I asked. The girl lifted her blonde head up. That's when I saw her eyes; one blue and one green. She had a rounded face with lovely skin and she couldn't be older than 17 or 18. She was a beauty.

"I-I'm fine…" she said stuttering. I frowned before giving her my hand to stand up with. "Why did those girls hit you?" I asked and she stayed staring at me. "I-I don't know." She said again quietly. She finally noticed my hand and placed hers in mine. A sudden shock went through my body from her touch and it rang through me. My Time Lord mind screaming out to me but I hadn't the foggiest reason why. Helping her up, I made sure she was standing when I pulled out my sonic screw driver on her. She looked stunned as I ran the sonic around her. "Who are you! Surely you must've felt that because that isn't a mere electric shock. That there was different, a good different maybe, but it was different none the less. I know that different, can't think of where now but I do. So answer my question. Who. Are. You." I said rambling on before staring into her eyes firmly. Her eyes showed she was panicking and I suddenly realized her breathing had picked up. "I-I…I…" she started to say then stepped back. On guard now I stepped forward and stared her down again. I then noticed her eyes roll back and she dropped where she stood.

Racing forward to catch her, I mentally cursed myself in Galifryan for causing her to faint. I looked around to see where I could get some help for her and looked back down at her uniform. It had the logo of a catholic school, so that's where I'd go. I hoisted her up into my arms and headed off quickly in the direction the girl had come from. Looking down at her face I noticed the locket around her neck and stopped. I knew that design…from somewhere but I couldn't place where… I shrugged it off and fixed it around her neck before continuing my trip. Oh dear, why did you bring me here…
