Chapter 1

The lost girl

"Remind me again why we're doing this" said Clyde, shivering in the cold, winter's night.

"Because Mr Smith detected alien technology" said Luke, rolling his eyes at Clyde.

"Of course you would know, Luke. Mister knows it all" grumbled Clyde.

"We told you to put on a coat but you thought you would be clever and not bring one. In the dead of the night as well" said Rani.

Clyde muttered something about not being clever and not knowing about it being cold. They decided to ignore him; after all, they were used to it.

"Here" said Sarah-Jane and they all stopped at a very dark alley way.

"Of course, it just had to be the dark alley way" said Clyde and they walked cautiously through the alley way, using Sarah-Jane's sonic-lipstick as a torch- they forgot to bring ne in the hurry to get here.

There, in the shadows, was a young girl about Clyde, Rani and Luke's age cowering in a corner of a building- McDonalds to be precise; covariant. Then they noticed what she was wearing, a white sheet like dress, exactly the same thing Luke was wearing the day they found him.

"Hello" said Sarah-Jane, lowering her sonic-lipstick and held out her hand. The girl eyed it with fear on confusion.

"I'm helping you up" Sarah-Jane explained patiently and the girl took her hand, letting Sarah-Jane pull her up.

"Do you know your name?" asked Clyde.

The girl frowned and stuttered "N-n-name?"

"What you are called" explained Rani.

"Ummm, no, all Mrs Wormwood said was that this one is a vegetarian and that it is to be destroyed. I, um, understood that much, it meant kill and I panicked. I'm not sure; I think I, um, knocked them out? Yeah, I think and used a teleport... to... um... get here. And I'm not sure about the rest. What are your n-names?" she asked.

"I'm Sarah-Jane Smith, this is Rani, Clyde and Luke" said Sarah-Jane, gesturing to each of the teenagers in turn. The girl waved hesitantly, and then frowned.

"You're like me, only somehow different" she said pointing a slender finger at Luke and he nodded.

"Yes, I was created by the ban to" said Luke.

"Ban...ban...ban" the girl muttered under her breath but they still heard it but ignored it. She was memorizing the word.

"Would you like to come back to the place I live?" invited Sarah-Jane and the girl nodded.

When they finally got back to Sarah Jane's house- the girl was trying to look in all directions and falling over twice because she wasn't used to walking.

"How did you get used to this" muttered the girl after Rani cached for the third time.

"I had loads of practise" said Luke as they helped the girl up into the attic.

"Wow, this has almost everything in the universe in here" said the girl, looking around her.

"Watch this" said Clyde eagerly and Sarah-Jane walked up to a wall.

"Mr. Smith, I need you" she said and Mr. Smith came into view.

"Whoa" said the girl in amazement.

"Thank you Miss?" Said Mr. Smith, trailing of.

"We're not sure yet" said Rani and Emma smiled nervously.

"How about Emma?" asked Mr. Smith as helpfully as he could and Emma gasped.

"What?" asked Sarah-Jane.

"Mmmm, nothing. Yeah, I like Emma" said the girl now called Emma. She smiled, and then added "Not sure about the surname but I'll get to that."

"How about Smith?" asked Sarah-Jane and Emma looked confused.

"Aren't you Smith?" she asked.

"Yes, you could be my sister. That is, if you want to" said Luke, the last bit uncertainly but Emma grinned.

"Of course I would" she hugged Sarah-Jane and then Luke.

"Where's my hug" teased Rani and Emma hugged her too. Then she hugged Clyde who looked very embarrassed but only Luke could see it; it was a boy thing.

Now that Emma was in the light, Luke good get a better look at her. In fact, to him, she looks very pretty. She had slightly wavy, brow with blonde streaks which had a natural glow. She had hazel eyes that glinted with their own different excitement and her smile seemed to light up the whole room. She had a slender body and was just smaller than Luke. He court Clyde's eye and Clyde smirked at him so Luke averted his eyes form his. Clyde knew that he kinda liked Emma but Luke was glad he didn't say anything.

Emma cocked her head to the side and looked at a wall with her eyes glazed over.

"Are you okay?" asked Clyde.

"Yes, well, no. It's hard to explain" she said.

"Try us" said Sarah-Jane and Emma took a deep breath.

"Strange things happen to me. I can look at peoples past and future, sometimes I can control people's minds, other time I can read peoples mind and I can changed into any animal I want if I'm in danger. At that moment, I was seeing the future" Emma explained, casting a weary look around her at them but saw no humour- well, apart from Clyde but she knew the difference between laughing at you and laughing with you, that type of thing.

"Cool, can you see my future?" asked Clyde and Emma rolled her eyes.

"Spoilers and besides, I can't unless you were in any danger which I hilly doubt at this moment" she grinned and Clyde pouted.

"What were you seeing then" asked Luke.

"The darkness is coming, then it all went blank" she said with a shrug. She noticed all their worried looks and added for comfort "But I hilly doubt it will happen. A lot of things I see change. The future isn't set in to stone" she smiled at them and Sarah-Jane relaxed.

"Well" said Sarah-Jane, clapping her hands together in a very doctorish way "let's get your bedroom sorted out so you can sleep in there."

"Bedroom?" asked Emma, who hadn't heard that word before. She was using all the words that they said and a little of the one's she heard when people past her without even looking at her. She skipped that memory and looked at Sarah-Jane for an explanation.

"It's a place where we sleep" Luke tried to explain as best as he could. He knew how confusing this was for her because he'd been there, done that and all.

"Okay" she said and followed Sarah-Jane down stairs. The other's followed her and soon they came into a spare room.

"What will Emma do for a bed?" asked Rani and suddenly there was one in the corner.

"I wish that would stop happening" groaned Emma, shaking her head.

"Okay, now that is getting really annoying, creepy and cool all at the same time" said Clyde.

"Cool? How is it cold?" she asked him.

"Planet Earth saying" said Clyde and Emma nodded, getting it slightly.

"Well, you lot better get home and into bed" said Sarah-Jane and they all but Luke left the room.

"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday" muttered Emma and looked around the room.

"Still trying to learn, hey?" asked Luke.

"You bet" she grinned and Luke walked over to the bed and sat down next to her.

"How did you learn about all this stuff?" asked Emma after a very long silence.

"Well, I just read books; lots and lots of books. I also listened to other people, listening to how they formed a sentence and sometimes I copied them" answered Luke with a slight smile.

"I bet that was annoying" chuckled Emma and Luke nodded, laughing with her.

"Yes, you should have heard Mum. She was forever trying to get me to be quite" said Luke and they laughed harder before lapsing into another conferrable silence.

"You better get to bed" said Emma and Luke nodded, getting up. Emma noticed his expiration and added "We have ages to get to know each other you know; you can bombarded me with question's tomorrow." Luke laughed and left the room, leaving Emma with only the silence for comfort but she didn't mind, after all, she was used to it. This was time to herself and she was going to use it wisely.

She picked up a pencil and paper she found on the floor and started to write a song. This was how she let out her feelings:

I was drowning in the rain
Getting lost beneath the downpour
Trying to shield a dying flame, oh
Nearly lost what I had come for

But somewhere in my heart
A little gold was working its way out
And made a star to guide me on my way
Somewhere deep inside
I remembered what it's all about
I took my time
But now I think I'll have my say. oh

Hear me out
I've done my running believe me
Without a doubt
I'll no longer take the blame
Hear me out
My heart is broken and bleeding
But it's beating
No other man I love
Is gonna leave me in the rain

I know
(I was lost but now I'm found)
As the rain pours down the window
(And I've turned my life around)
I'm no longer here in limbo
No more dramas
Smeared mascara on my pillow

Now I can see which way I'm going
Follow my heart that's what they say
Never too small can't stop me growing
Taking the world on day by day
Follow the way the wind is blowing
Free to explore and find my way
I'll take all the stuff that life is throwing
This is the chance to have my say, yeah

I know
(I was lost but now I'm found)
As the rain pours down the window
(And I've turned my life around)
I'm no longer here in limbo
No more dramas
Smeared mascara on my pillow

I know
I know

She smiled at her work, making a couple of changes and then she sang it to herself. When she was finished, she checked the clock on the wall and said it was 11:59. She hoped into bed and soon fell asleep; hoping the next day would come quickly.
