Amy stared in wonder and a little fear at the sight before her. All of this, the soldiers, the weapons, the base, just to capture the raggedy man that had shown her the stars? It made no sense. The Doctor wasn't anything important. At least...she didn't think he was.
The door to her cell slid open and a soldier walked in. A girl, with a petite form and an angelic face. But her eyes were the things that drew Amy to her. Eyes like the Doctor's, seemingly too old for her body.
" Sorry." the girl said "I shouldn't be here. I'm meant to be at the thing. I brought you something."
She pulled out a small bit of stitched cloth and handed it to Amy, rambling on as she did.
" Your child's name in the language of my people. It's a prayer leaf. And we believe if you keep this with you, your child will always come home to you."
Amy looked at her. "Can I borrow your gun?"
The girl looked at her, confused. "Why?"
"'Cause I've got a feeling you're gonna keep talking." Amy snapped, glaring out of the window.
A moment of awkward silence later Amy mused "They're talking like he's famous. The Doctor isn't famous."
A dreamy, almost child-like smile crossed over the girls face, as if remembering a nice dream. "He meets a lot of people. Some of them remember. He's sort of like a... I don't know. A Dark Legend."
Amy scoffed "Dark? Have you met him?"
Another moment of silence.
"Yeah" the girl finally said, and Amy turned to her "But I was just a little girl then. My sister did too."
"Where is she?" Amy asked softly. She wasn't sure why she was so interested in this girl's story, but anything was better than focusing on Melody.
The girl gestured outside the window.
"She's here too. We figured to get to meet the Doctor again..."
"Join the organization trying to kill him?" Amy asked. The Doctor had come up with some mad schemes before, but this was different. This was...insane.
Seeing her expression, the girl laughed.
"My sister came up with it. She's very good at getting really bad plans to work."
"Bit like the Doctor, then." Amy commented.
Another awkward silence, which the girl broke "You've been with him a long time then?"
Amy shook her head "No. He came back for me."
"You must be very special." Was it just Amy, or was there envy, almost jealousy in her voice now.
"Hey, you can wait a long time for the Doctor but he's worth it, okay... The thing is, he's coming. No question about it. Just you make sure you're on the right side when he gets here. Not for my sake, for yours. And your sisters." Amy ordered
The girl made a mock salute, something like what the Doctor would do to UNIT whenever they crossed paths
"Thanks," she said "I'll pass on the word."
As she was about to go, Amy called out "What's your name?"
The girl turned.
"Lorna Bucket. My sister's Sue Bucket."
And with that, she left.
A/N: This story is going to take liberties with the story of the sixth series after "A Good Man Goes To War" I'm going to add two characters that you might recognise to the TARDIS team. I'm not going to give anything away here. Reviews are my food!
