Song: Winter Night by Sweet Thing

Lyla Harkness stood on the sidewalk outside of Torchwood Three in Cardiff. Her long black trench coat tightly secured around her by the belt and her arms folded over her chest. After sighing, she made her way into Torchwood Three, her boots making her footsteps sound heavy. As she made her way, she caught a glimpse of her reflection in a window. Her short black hair messy from the wind, her eye filled with curiosity, her right eye TARDIS blue and her left gold, her skin pale but slightly rose coloured. "Lyla?" she heard her brother, Jack, call "I-I'll be there in a moment, Jack!" she called back, walking towards the sound of Jacks voice. Lyla slowly slid off her coat to reveal a black tank top tucked into her black jeans and her gun gun and knife holsters hanging on either hip "Where've you been, Lyla?" Jack asked in an unusually serious tone, folding his arms over his chest "I was just wandering about..." She explained quietly and Jack frowned "You know if you're found by-" Lyla held up a hand to stop him from continuing "I know, Jack, I know" she sighed "I'm just tyring to figure things out, okay?" she explained and Jack nodded slowly "Alright, Lyla, I'll stop bugging you about it" Jack then opened his arms "Come to daddy" he said as a grin started to form on his face. Lyla smiled and ran into his arms, giving him a tight squeeze "I missed you, Big Jack" she said, burying her face in his chest and he chuckled "I missed you too, squirt" he said, returning her squeeze.

A few days after her return, Jack gave her a mission. There was a disturbance in London and he needed her to see what was wrong. Upon arriving, she heard some girls talking "There was a man! he has this... magic wand of sorts, it was incredible!" one girl exclaimed and the others stared at her with wonder "It actually worked?" another asked and the girl nodded happily "It really worked! And the man was hot!" she said with a grin. Lyla gave a roll of her eyes and kept walking until she felt the disturbance coming from her right, her head slowly turned that way and saw a figure staring at her and run. She frowned and ran after it "Wait! I just want to speak with you!" she called after it as she turned the corner. At the end of the alley was a dead end, Lyla sighed "Of course" she muttered to herself. Suddenly heard footsteps behind her and she spun around "Who's there!" she shouted as she heard a dark chuckle. She backed up toward the wall, scared because she had no weapons "So, daughter of the TARDIS, where is your mother now? How are you going to escape this time?" the man whispered and Lyla gasped "How did you find me?" she asked, terrified "I can smell your sweet scent a mile away, Idris" he said with a sinister grin "No one can save you, your death is inevitable" he said and pulled out his weapon. Lyla cried "Please, don't do this, I didn't mean to hurt your brother! I don't know how to control it!" she screamed and he grabbed her by the throat and shoved her into the hard brick "It matters not, you have caused me great pain and you will pay for it" he growled and stepped back. He raised his weapon and everything went deadly quiet in Lylas mind as she went cold and began to drown. She gave one last breath before she fell.

Everything was pure white and it was killing Lylas eyes. She felt cold, wet and in pain "Hello?" Lyla called, hearing her voice echo "Is anyone here?" she asked but got no reply "Where am I?" she called one last time. "You're inside the time vortex, love" someone explained and Lyla turned around to see a Victorian woman with brown hair who smiled at her "It's so good to see you again, darling" the woman said, tearing up a bit "Wh-who are you?" Lyla asked, stuttering "Idris, I'm your mother" the woman explained "Or, one of them" she said with a smile. "But, my mother-" "This body is a host for me who couldn't survive, you were named after her, lovely" she said, stroking her daughters cheek "I'm so sorry, Idris" Lyla frowned "For what?" she asked and her mother smiled sadly "My dear, you were killed" she said and Lyla simply stared "What?" "You're regenerating, my dear" she explained and kissed her daughter on the forehead. "I'm sending you to the safest place I know where I can keep and eye on you at all time" Lyla sniffled and hugged her mother "I'm so scared, mother, I don't know what's happening to me" she said shakily and her mother stroked her hair "I know, love, I know, but everything will be okay" she said, kissing her daughter on the top of her head "But, it's time to wake up" she whispered "Just wake up" she said and Lyla let out a loud gasp.
