I don't own Doctor Who
Part 1
Outside of an old village during the late 1700's lies a tent that belongs to a fortune teller. Many of the villagers have told stories about the fortune teller. Some say the fortune teller have extraordinary powers that she will bring back the dead for only a short time. But some who venture to the fortune teller never return.
On night, a woman goes to the fortune teller to speak to a deceased relative. When she enters the tent, she sees a fortune teller sitting on a chair and looks like she knows the woman is arriving.
"I expected you to arrive a little later. You have come here to speak to your dead father?" the fortune teller said.
"You're just what the villagers said you were, you had extraordinary powers." the woman said.
"Please sit down my dear and tell me about your father?"
"My father's name is Nicolae, he lived the longest out of my whole family, but he died from the plague about a month ago and I missed him."
"Ah not to worry my dear. I will try to let him talk to you." The fortune teller hold hands and close their eyes as they big. The séance. "The spirit of Nicolae, if you are in this room, show us a sign." Suddenly, the room is starting to shake violently and the woman is starting to get scared. "Spirit of Nicolae, what have you say for your daughter?"
"I… I don't know what's going on?" the woman said.
"Nonsense young one. The spirit of your father is strong in here." Just then, the two are now surrounded by a whirling blue vortex and the woman is getting more scared.
"Wh… What's going on?"
"Your father is now crossing to the physical realm." The vortex is now closing in to the woman and the woman screamed as the vortex reached her. The fortune teller stood up from her chair and went to a weird wall and smiled as shes an image of a woman similar to the one that visited her.
At San Francisco in the year 2000, a young cardiologist name Grace Holloway is undergoing her last heart surgery for the day. Nicknamed "Amazing Grace" by her colleagues, Grace never fails to do her job. It wasn't until she encountered a patient who was shot while being caught in a middle of a gang war and accidentally killed the patient which made her resigned due to that and the disapperance from the morgue. Grace was rehired again after New Year's and she didn't let the failure go into her head.
"Hey Grace are doing something tonight?" a colleague of Grace asked her.
"No, I'm just staying home and have a nice light dinner." Grace replied.
"Really? There's a new Puccini opera in town. I know you always like his opera."
"I know, but it's sold out since day and I always wanted to go watch it. That opera is one of my most favorite opera from Puccini."
"It's a shame. See you tomorrow then?"
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow." After Grace left the hospital, she ordered Chinese food for dinner and went straight home, Grace heard someone calling out her name.
"Hello, Grace." a man said. Grace turned around and saw that it is the Doctor, the man she accidentally killed during surgery but regenerated a few moments later. "Doctor?! You're back... again. This is the second time you popped up to me by surprise."
"I know. I kind of need to work on that."
"So what are doing here? I'm perfectly-"
"Bored. Maybe just one more trip will help?"
"The last time I went to one your trips, I was kidnapped and had to fight a bunch of walking mannequins."
"Don't worry, we won't be going to outer space this time. My ship is also a time machine. You wanna travel through history, Grace Holloway?" the Doctor said as he hold out his hands. Grace hesitated but shook hands with the Doctor's hand.
"Just promise there won't be any aliens in this trip." Grace said as she shook hands with the Doctor.
"Excellent. Now hop into the TARDIS." When the Doctor and Grace entered the TARDIS, Grace is still amazed about it being bigger on the inside.
"Your ship never fail to amaze me Doctor. Except the mess you still left behind."
"Don't worry about it. I haven't got the time to clean the TARDIS."
"When was the last time I saw you?"
"Well, in Earth years, I say 5 months. But for me, 10 years."
"10 years?! But you look the same!"
"Time Lords never age until they reach about the end of their regeneration cycle."
"Never mind about that. Where are going?"
"I'll show you." The Doctor pulled down the lever and the TARDIS started rumbling and dematerialized in San Francisco. The TARDIS then materialized outside of a small village that looked Eastern European. The Doctor and Grace went out of the TARDIS and Grace seem confused in where they are.
"What is this place?" Grace asked.
"I believe it to be Romania, circa late 18th century."
"So we're in Dracula's country?"
"No, Dracula is long gone. And believe me there are no supernatural activities in here."
"I doubt that." When the Doctor and Grace entered a village nearby, they encountered a two people who are wandering the streets.
"Has any of you seen my child!" the two pleaded to the Doctor and Grace.
"Erm, we just arrive here." Grace told.
"Please help us find our child. If you do, you will be awarded greatly." one of the couple said as they left. Suddenly the Doctor and Grace heard screaming from a far and ran into the village to check on it. The two went to a house and found a man huffing on the ground.
"There. There. What seems to be the problem?" the Doctor asked the man as he picks him up.
"Th... The hauntings. They are becoming stronger!" the man panicked. "The madame said that she'll take care of the hauntings, but it's getting worse!"
"Now slow down and just say something one at a time, okay. Who lives in this house?"
"The madame."
"Who is this madame?"
"She's the local fortune teller. She's not here though."
"Then where is she?"
"Outside of the village with that small tent of her's."
While the Doctor is talking to the man, Grace explored around the house. She found many things that she didn't know we're part of the 18th Century and thought that they might have an extraterrestrial origin. Grace continued exploring the house until she found a big curtain in front of her. She pulled the curtain and find a giant machine behind the curtain. When she touch one of the buttons, Grace screamed as she is disappearing from the house.
