Chapter 1: Memories Equal Dying
For the last two years Donna has temped at thirteen jobs and she just cannot find the right one for her. She's just always felt something was missing, like someone was missing. Every night she would shed a tear in her sleep while her mind showed her wisps of memories with a tall, thin, suit wearing man, but she would never tell her family. She thought they would lock her up for being ill. Dreaming about a man she had never met, at least one she thought she never met.
Knock Knock Knock
The loud knocking at the front door distracted Donna from her job hunting through the newspaper as her Granddad opened the door. She could hear their voices as she walked into the living room from the kitchen.
" I'm looking for Donna Noble does she live here?" A female voice rang through the house.
' Where have I heard that voice before?' Donna thought making her way near the door peaking at the blonde girl standing in front of her grandfather.
" Why yes she does may I ask who you are?" Her grandfather questioned as the girl smiled and giggled happily.
" My name is Jenny. I've been looking for her for a while now is she home?" Donna came from around the corner as Jenny brushed past Wilfred and through her arms around Donna. " Donna I've missed you so much!"
" I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Jenny's smile evaporated from her face as she stepped back from the redheaded woman in front of her.
" It's Jenny. You named me on Messaline after I was born remember. You said I could come along traveling with you and Dad." Donna looked at the girl and into those deep brown eyes getting lost in a memory.
" Their getting ready to move out! We have to get past that guard!" The man wearing a suit was back again and speaking to her as the blonde girl from her doorstep wizzed past them stating.
" I deal with him." The man pulled Jenny back around by her arm staring hard at the girl and responding to her statement.
" No, no, no, no. You're not going anywhere. "
" What?" Jenny questioned as the man raised his voice a bit as he continued.
" You belong here with them."
Donna watched herself step in front of the girl to look at the man who was now in front of her.
" She belongs here with us! With you, she's your daughter!" Donna shrieked at the man as he moved closer to her face.
" She's a soldier! She came out of that machine." The man stated firmly in haste to leave the place where they were being held.
" I know that bit! " Donna uttered sarcastically, " Listen do you have that stethiscope? Give it to me. Come on..."
The man sighed as he pulled it out of his pocket and handed it over to her. She put it in her ears and turned to Jenny who questioned on what she was doing.
" It's alright." She place the bottom of the stethiscope over Jenny's heart. " Just hold still."
Donna smiled at Jenny then she turned towards the man. " Come here. Listen and then tell me where she belongs." She handed the stethiscope back to the man as he put them in his ears and did the same as Donna, he heard what she heard. The two heart beats...
Donna snapped back into reality for a few seconds to see she was lying on the ground with the girl Jenny above her looking into those brown eyes once more she was thrown into another memory.
" No more fighting, no more killing. I'm the Doctor and I declare this war is over!" The man... no the Doctor shouted as he threw down a globe and watched it shatter. Letting the gases that make planets more habitable flow to the top of the spacecraft and out to the barren planet outside. The humans and hath put down their guns and watched the gases flow.
" What does that mean?" Jenny asked walking next to the Doctor hoping he would explain. He smiled and did just that while watching them escape.
" The gases will escape triggering the terraforming process."
" What does that mean?" Jenny asked once more. The Doctor turned his attention back to the girl in front of him and stated.
" It means a new world." She smiled and looked to her left to see the leader of the humans lift his gun.
" No!" She stated as she dove in front of the bullet which was fired and it hit, just not it's origenal target. It hit her in the chest. She gasped and held her right hand over her hearts as her father lowered her to the ground.
" Jenny... Jenny...Talk to me Jenny!" The Doctor pleaded to the girl in his arms. Another woman placed her fingers to the girls neck and then took them away looking sad.
Donna looked at the woman." Is she going to be alright?" The woman shook her head no and then moved back away. Donna stayed where she was as she saw Jenny's gaze turn upward.
" A new world... it's beautiful." She heaved trying to breathe. The Doctor held her closer telling her to be strong and how she needed to hold on.
" We've got things to do you and me. Hey, we can go anywhere, everywhere you choose." The Doctor told her as he watched her take in a short breathe realizing she was starting to cry.
" That...sounds good." Her voice was almost a whisper, but it was amplified around the room.
" You're my daughter and we've only got started. You're going to be great." He replied caressing her face as he tried to keep a strong face on for her. " You're going to be more than great, you're going to be amazing really!" He stated as she closed her eyes. He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead lovingly letting a few tears fall.
Donna let the tears fall as she reached up for the girl and took her into a hug. " But...but you died. "
" I'm more like my dad than I know. I came back to life and I've been looking for you and him for a while now. I picked up your signature here so I followed it and here I am." She replied pulling from the hug she was in. " I was on the planet Pluesh when those daleks attacked."
" What?" Donna urged her to tell more.
" Nothing!" Her granddad wailed causing both of them to jump.
" Nothing?" Donna repeated looking at him as Jenny looked slightly confused.
" I'm sure earth was attacked too, the daleks were made of metal and..." Jenny was cut off once more.
" NOTHING, their nothing. Nothing happened... nothing." Donna looked at her grandfather and went to stand next to him.
" They were made of metal and used humans for testing. Testing a bomb to kill every living thing in the worlds, galaxies, universes." Donna stated looking her granddad in the face whose face expressed shock.
" How... you can't remember him or..."
" Or the Tardis or the adventures we had. Even to forget Jenny. He left me...HE LEFT ME!" Donna shouted as she was hit with a dizzy spell. She gripped the wall to keep upright.
"Donna it'll be alright." Jenny stated as Wilfred looked to her his shoulders shaking.
" No, no, no. He told me not to let you find out. He told us not to say anything, he said you would die!" He cried out to his grandaughter. " He said you wouldn't remember!"
Donna had tears streaming down her face remembering the way she pleaded with the Doctor to let her stay. He wouldn't let her because she couldn't. She couldn't because there can't be a human time lord. It could not happen and it's killing her. Donna slid down the wall breathing heavily as Jenny came over to her quickly.
" Help me get her to my ship we need to put her in sleep mode." Jenny muttered as Donna's breathing labored.
" She's not a computer!" Wilfred yelled at the young time lady pulling her away from Donna.
" She will die if you don't help me!" She shot back trying to get to Donna and Wilfred pulled her back away again.
" SHE'S DYING BECAUSE OF YOU!" His voice thundered through out the house as Jenny stepped back letting a tears fall from her eyes.
" She was dying even before I got here. She was remembering, why do you think it was so easy for her to remember my Dad. So if you won't let me save the woman who named me, who convinced my father to bring me along with them, the woman who cried when I died then I will take her by force!" Jenny exclaimed trying to gather Donna in her arms.
" You talk as if she was your mother." Wilfred uttered at the girls exclaimation.
" She may as well be... are you going to help me or not?" Jenny asked as Wilfred gathered his granddaugter in his arms and they made their way outside. Jenny led the way to the Nobles backyard. Jenny pulled a device with a button on it out of her pocket and pressed her finger into it.
" It was invisible!" Wilfred gasped out as Jenny turned towards him motioning to come in the ship along with Donna.
They stepped abroad the ship where Jenny told Wilfred to lay Donna down upon a table that was in the middle of the room. Then the lights dimmed as a blue light scanned over Donna's body.
" What's it doing to her?"
" It's scanning her to find out why she is dying. Then it will put her to sleep till it's done and figured out how to help." Jenny answered pushing more buttons on the counsel.
It felt like days when it was only hours that the light diminished and the results appeared before them.
--Space--
" Jack we have a problem." Ianto Jones stated as a light blinked over and over again on the screen.
" What is it?"
" Timelord regeneration detected!"
