Author's Note: OK, first story. This is a little crossover of Doctor Who and Twilight that I've had in my head for quite a while. Now, even if you don't like Doctor Who, or even if you don't know what it is, I just ask that you give this story a chance. I promise to make everything as easy to understand as possible.
Summary: In an attempt to escape being trapped within the Last Great Time War with the rest of the Time Lords, the Master casts his mind out of his body and back to Earth. There, his mind attaches to and overpowers the mind of Isabella Swan, destroying her and taking her body as its own, converting it into that of a Time Lord. Now with a new body, and a new life, the Master finds herself on her way to Forks, Washington to live with Bella's estranged father, Charlie. Will she rise to power once again, or be destined to fail as before? And will she find love along the way?
Main Pairing: Master Bella/Alice
The Sound of Drums: Exile
Prologue: New Year's in the Park
New Year's Eve is my least favorite time of the year. It's not the parties or the fireworks that I hate though. No, I hate that I have to spend New Year's alone.
Everyone else in my family has someone to spend New Year's Eve with. Emmett has Rosalie, Dad has Mom, and Jasper has Maria. Even stick-up-his-ass Edward has Angela.
At the moment, my family is at home having their annual New Year's party. It's the only time of the year that Mom and Dad invite other people into our home. They have a big party and invite everyone in town, then at midnight they shoot fireworks off across the lake behind our house. My parents know how to throw a party. And it's the only time the family gets to truly act human.
You see, my family and I, we're vampires, though we aren't exactly you're traditional vampires. We try to retain our humanity by feeding off of animals and pretending to be human. My father, Carlisle, he works at the hospital here in town, while my mother Esme is a party planner and interior decorator. My siblings and I, we attend high school like normal teenagers. I'm in my sophomore year this year. Emmett, Jasper, Maria, and Rosalie are seniors, while Edward and Angela are juniors.
We moved here about a year and a half ago. Here being Forks, Washington; logging capitol of the world. Exciting, isn't it? Anyway, when we moved here, Edward met Angela and they became fast friends. It wasn't till a few months ago that he finally grew a pair and asked her out. They're really quite cute together.
Never mind that though, back to the present.
As per my usual, I skipped out of the party around eleven and wandered around town for a while. Eventually, I found myself at the park in town, so I decided to sit on one of the benches and wait for the New Year. And as I sat on that bench, I found my mind wandering off into that dark place it usually goes when I'm left on my own.
You see, for the past few decades, I've had a rather severe case of depression. You know, that tends to happen when you've spent nearly a century waiting for the person you're supposed to spend your life with, while at the same time watching the rest of your family find their life mates. Combine that with the fact that I know nothing of my origins and I really don't have a very good outlook on life.
Now, usually I'm not allowed to go anywhere without either Edward or Jasper to watch over me. However, the family was rather distracted with other matters when I snuck out, so neither of them was around to interrupt my darker thoughts.
I sighed, pulling a lighter from my pocket and tossing it lightly between my hands. It wasn't the first time I contemplated suicide. In fact, those were usually the thoughts that my brothers were tasked with interrupting. Honestly, I'd be doing Ed and Jazz a favor if I killed myself; they wouldn't have to look out for me anymore. And the rest of the family wouldn't have to constantly worry about me. Sure they'd be sad at first, but they'd have the rest of eternity to get over it.
With that thought in mind, I brought the lighter up, igniting it with my right hand. As I moved the tiny flame toward my chest, someone else's hand caught my wrist.
I looked up in shock, staring into a pair of beautiful hazel eyes. I didn't even register the lighter being snatched from my hand as I was too busy trying to close my gaping mouth.
Before me, staring at me with a disappointed glare was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. With sharp features and soft blonde hair resting just on her shoulders, the woman was a sight to behold. Though I wish she didn't have that disappointed frown on her face that I know was there because of me.
I glanced down at the rest of her, the area between my legs becoming slick with arousal, as I took in her lithe, muscular form. Not muscular in the gross way, but muscular in the athletic sort of way, like she was on a track or swim team. Her hips were wide in a way that was perfectly proportional with the rest of her, while soft, b-cup breasts adorned her chest. And her legs, god, they went on for miles.
It was then that I noticed how tall she was. She looked to be about 5'6" or 5'7" to my 4'10". I hadn't realized that I was attracted to height before, but I could definitely say that the fact that she was bigger than me turned me on. Is that weird?
I did another quick sweep of her body to take in her outfit, having paid little attention to it the first time; a first for me. She was wearing a simple white, cotton button-down shirt and a pair of black slacks, held in place by black suspenders. On her feet was a pair of black and white low-top Chuck's.
My eyes snapped back up to her face as she cleared her throat, one of her eyebrows raised in amusement. How she managed to look both amused and disappointed at the same time, I don't know.
"So?" she murmured, her husky voice making me shiver in delight.
"So, what?" I gasped, looking away from her in embarrassment. She smiled ever so slightly, a far away look in her eyes.
"Do I pass inspection?" she questioned, finally releasing my wrist as she took a seat next to me. "I know how you are about clothes."
"Oh, well, they're no where near as good as they could be," I replied, once more taking in her outfit. "But, definitely not the worst… wait, how do you know about my fashion problem?" Now I was suspicious. Who the hell was she? I'd never seen her in town before.
"I'm Coraline," she said, answering my unasked question. She rolled her neck, her eyes turning skyward. It was silent for several moments before I realized she wasn't going to answer my question. As I was about to ask again, she glanced at me and said, "She's coming."
I blinked, my mouth snapping shut, then opening again as I hissed, "Who's coming?"
"Bella," she stated simply.
"Who the hell is Bella?" I snapped in irritation.
"Your mate, silly vampire," she said, shaking her head as if it should have been obvious. My eyes widened in shock, both at the idea of meeting my mate and at the fact that Coraline knew what I am.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"I just do," she replied, standing from the bench and turning to walk away. I was standing in front of her before she had even taken a step.
"Now you just wait a moment!" I snarled, glaring up at her. What pissed me off more was that she looked amused at my outburst. "You're gonna answer my damn questions or…"
Her lips were on mine in an instant, the church bells going off, signaling that it was midnight. The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but they were the best seconds of my life. And then her lips were off of me, her forehead coming to rest against mine.
"Do me a favor?" she murmured, her warm breath on my lips causing shivers to run down my spine. I nodded in acquiescence. "Just wait until February. Bella will be here then and I promise things will get better. Can you do that for me?" I nodded again. "Good."
And then she was walking passed me as I stared off into space dreamily. After a moment, I shook myself from my stupor and turned to ask her about this mysterious Bella.
She was gone; vanished into thin air.
I glanced around in shock, but found nothing but trees and playground equipment. Sighing, I turned and began walking back toward my house.
February, huh? I could do that.
Alright, so, please review and give me your feedback. And don't flame, there really isn't a point in it.
This is going to be the first story in a trilogy and will, for the most part be set in Forks and be primarily about the Twilight cast. The more major Doctor Who stuff really won't come into play until the second story.
