Ok this is one of the earlier Doctor who stories i thought of writing about. And yes ok there is no Rose in it, GASP! (Please don't get out of story, keep reading!) but I hope you still enjoy it anyway and R&R.

Chapter One

Amanda was feed up with her life. After so much hard work trying to make it good and happy, she couldn't take it any longer.

Slamming the door on her irate father, Amanda dropped to the ground in tears. Throwing her fists onto the floor. Amanda had got in yet another heated argument with her father. Well not her real father. She was adopted after becoming orphaned at the age of 18 months. Even though Bob and Janet had raised her, they felt far from real family.

Janet had never taken any interest in any part of Amanda's life. Amanda was 17 and had never had the joy experiencing shopping with a mother, something she longed to do. Her husband Bob was such an angry person and his negative words and actions usually fell upon Amada, who normally didn't take crap from anyone, even though any other person who had gone through 16 years of abuse would have learned to keep their mouth shut. Amanda was too strong a person for that. It never mattered what she was getting in trouble for by the time it got really heated she had forgotten what had started it in the first place.

Amanda stopped and remained silent long enough to hear the footsteps walk away from her door, down the hallway. Steadying herself carefully, as her head hurt from crying so much, she raised herself up. Amanda silently said to herself, 'This is it. No more. Today I go to school and never come back. They'll never see me again.'

She didn't know where she was going to go, but she was leaving. Not having very many things of value she managed to fit them into one suitcase. Placing in the suitcase also was a photo of her parents, (her birth parents). Maybe I could find them. Amanda decided that she would place the suitcase inside the garage and when she came home from school put it in the car and drive away before Bob and Janet came home from work.

Amanda with everything in place she stopped at her bedroom door, waiting for enough courage to come to open it. As she was doing so, Amanda's gaze fell upon her nightstand where her necklace was. How could she forget that, it was the necklace she had as a child that had come with the photograph. It was long sliver chain with a pendant of a long crystal like stone, with brilliant colours, which changed with each movement. Amanda had always guessed it was just a trick of the light. But sometimes, she sat on her bed and held it still in her hands not moving a muscle and she could swear the swirls of colours moved around, almost as if it was alive. Her parents must have had a reason for giving it to her. The answers were somewhere, and she was going to find them.

With the plan securely in her head Amanda marched to the door and without one look in the direction of Bob and Janet sitting in the kitchen, she made her way purposefully to the door and headed for her last day of school.

A Very short chapter, and i know the Doctor isn't in it yet but i was going to place his chapter seperate from this one cause his entrance is just so important. It should take long to upload as i am typing it now.
