I own nothing but Alice :)

Prologue, meeting Alice

Alice POV

The same routine, every single day I am just so bored of waking up going to school and that being my life no matter how much I love school.

I am Alice Lacer I'm 16 and half way in sixth form living in London, I lived on my own as my parents were constantly at work or around the world thinking that being advanced in school meant I should never accompany them, the last time I saw them both at the same time was when I completed school early and had got asked by the school to stay on and expand my knowledge. That was last year and since I was too young to work I agreed, the moment my parents knew I was staying at school my father left to a conference in Cornwall and my mother left to Africa looking for some new passion to fulfil her.

They left that night and I have seen my father once since then and that was at Christmas and he had to return as the hotel he was booked at hadn't given him an appropriate room. He was gone by morning. My mother sent monthly emails if I was lucky and even then it was to make sure the bills were pain from the money they sent for me.

Sighing I stood and packed all my books away slowly as the students all piled up around the door to leave before the bell had even finished ringing. By the time I go to the door I was the last to leave other then my english teacher Mr Bryant, waving goodbye he smiled sadly.

As I exited the building of the school I saw it was nearly completely abandoned of both students and teachers, rolling my eyes towards where I usually go to get home I paused and went the other way. I had no clue of where it went but I was ok at just walking around until I get lost at this point even if it gets me in trouble but I am just so fed up of this life. Boring, slow and alone. As I walked I saw the sun getting lower gently as I reached the edge of a small field with a few swings in, they were large with a couple of seats and chipping red paint along the stands. Cocking my head I shrugged and headed towards the swings and sat tossing my black satchel filled with my books next to me.

I sat there for hours watching the sun set and just swinging slightly with my foot, I breathed deeply and closed my eyes leaning against the chain supporting me. Hearing movement to my left I snapped my eyes open only for them to widen at the sight. There was a large plant seated there next to the swing, I know it hadn't been there before. I slowly stopped all movement as I stood and walked over gently to the plant. When I was a foot away I crouched and examined it in wonder. Adrenaline filled my veins like lead however when I saw vines sprout from its side and point like a spear in my direction. But I didn't move. I sat like this for minutes until I sat instead cross legged in front of the strange plant as I contemplated it, it had to be an alien of some sort or mutant creation.

Gently the vines lowered and approached me and a couple stroked my long brown hair as if examining me. Moments passed as it hid about half a dozen vines and left the other half out which curled around it removing the ones that were playing with my hair. As I looked more closely I saw it was about the height of a German Sheppard and as it was only about a foot wide and was a bit like a tree stump with small green vines making intricate patterns on it, the vines were adorned with small red thorns which kept disappearing and reappearing into the skin. But what I found most beautiful on the vines it had hidden there were large poisonous looking spiked where as on the ones it left surrounding it were tiny flowers no bigger than a forget me not in reds and purples. While I was observing I didn't notice as a face appeared at the top of the trunk.

"Hello child" I heard a smooth velvet like voice pierce the silence as I jolted back and looked what sounded like a female in the face, it had a human like face formed in the wood like it had been carved, large eyes which were pure white along with her eye lashes which each adorned a small green crystal on the end, the crystals were also placed above her eyes like eyebrows. She had no nose but had a pair of thick and beautiful lips which were the same plumb colour as her flowers on her vines.

"Um ... h...hello?" I stuttered unsure of what to do.

"No need to be afraid child, my vines reacted to you as you are an unknown form. As you showed no harm they relaxed and have compacted into my bark." She said looking me over making me nervous.

"What are you?" I asked gently after calming my racing heart for a few minuets.

"I am Flora of the planet Chloris, I am a Tythonians." She said smoothly, my mind tumbled around trying to understand. So she was indeed an alien.

"Now child might I enquire your name?" She asked gently as her vines played together like when a nervous child plays with their hands.

"I'm Alice. Alice Lacer, what are you doing here?" I asked in almost a whisper trying to recall some Greek mythology which I had read about in school mentioning something to do with a chloris.

"Pleasure Miss Alice, do you mean of this location? Or planet?" She asked with a small amused smile.

"Both"

"I am in this park as it is the most peaceful place with plants for me to breathe and blend in, Earth because I was evicted from my planet and placed into a shuttle and sent into space. My pod landed here near the centre of London, not long before there was a giant UFO landing in the river Thames."

I nodded slowly. "Why were you evicted? I have read of Chloris in Greek mythology, a goddess or nymph of flowers and plants?"

She nodded "Yes that was some of our ancestors since then our forms have been forced to change due to the climate of our planet, we are able to now morph into a human appearance form or stay in this form which is safer, although the human form is more comfortable. I was told to leave as when in my human form, I drain energy from those around me and it harms my species dreadfully and it got to the point even being in this form was endangering them and so they band me from the planet." She looked so sad.

"I'm so sorry, but won't you drain this planet if you stay here?" I asked concerned.

"No my dear Alice this planet is much larger than mine so it will sustain longer and here there are plants and other natural things I can survive from without causing damage, as long as I'm in this form anyway ." she said sadly.

I nodded in understanding and from then we talked, I told her of my home, parents and life as she told me of hers and other planets. When I saw the sun rising I knew I had to go.

"I'm so sorry Flora I need to go home, I promise I will return tomorrow!" I said smiling, even if she was a plant alien she was the most likely person on this planet to want to befriend me.

"I trust you shall, my sweet Alice. Though I have a gift and request for you" She said handing me a flower from one of her vines and handing it to me as I smiled and nodded for her to continue.

"Take this, place it in a necklace, ring or something that is able to be with you always. With this I shall feel you and be able to make sure you are safe, my request is always have it with you so I know my friend is safe." I nodded and gave a watery smile as I stroked the flower gently, it was red with a thorn in the centre coloured a plumb toned purple. I said goodbye one last time before running to my bag and running home in a flurry of movements.

Once I reached the large apartment complex I took the lift to the penthouse and placed the flower on the mahogany table by the front door as I ran along the small hallway passing my parents bedroom and to my own. Going to my small white jewellery box grabbing my grandmother's small poison pill ring and running back to the flower tucking it into the hidden compartment before slipping the ring onto my middle finger on my left hand.

Looking at the ring I smiled, it was simple: a silver band with a bright green stone attached with little claw like hooks, one slid around to access the medication - or flower in this case, within.

I felt instantly warm and knew she was at that park for me and knowing I was safe. Looking around my large square room I headed to my double bed which was unmade and placed so I could sleep against the window and watch the stars at night.

My room was simple, dark wood floors and mint green walls with darker stripes in a metallic effect on the three walls I had, the other was a giant window. I had my bed against the said window and dark purple net curtains around my bed and against the window so I could retain some privacy. At the bottom of my bed was a old trunk in a faded gold a teal, this was my art box filled with nice paints and various art books filled and empty each with a different method or technique of art.

Next to my bed was a white bedside table with a drawer and underneath a shelf which held a box full of photos. On top was a beaded lamp decorated in light blue fabrics and darker blue swirls. Other then that I had a bookcase which was at the end wall opposite the end of my bed next to the window filled of various genres of my favourite novels and some odd notebooks. My large white chest of drawers were next to my door and on top of that were three boxes, on one my grandmother's jewellery box which was held exactly like she kept it, it was white and had small roses painted on with her name - Marmalade in calligraphy letterings across the top. Next to it was my box which held all my jewellery from my childhood until now and then there was a small chest with my money for rent, food and myself along with my bank card.

Other than that my room was empty, sitting on my bed I fell back kicking off my black studded boots before groaning when the sunlight hit the window at the perfect angle to reflect in my eyes jolting me wide awake despite being up all night. Rolling my eyes I stood and headed to the bathroom next to my bedroom with my parents the other side.

The bathroom was very up class like my parents with a electric shower expensive flowers and towels over the spare counters lovely marble sink, toilet and bath tub and crystal like shower walls. Stripping out of my black jeans and blue tank top I jumped in the shower warming it to the brink of where it wasn't hot or warm but in between making my muscles relax.

Washing myself in pomegranate scented shower gel and washing my hair with peach shampoo and apple conditioner I rinsed of letting the bubbles swirl in the drain a moment before stepping onto the plush rug by the door. Wrapping myself in a white towel I dried off before brushing my teeth and collecting my washing and dumping it in the white tiled hamper. Going to my room I stood at my dresser shrugging on a pair of comfortable pyjama bottoms plaid in dark blues and purples and put a soft baggy top on which was already warm due to the amazing fabric, heading into the living room I grabbed my brush and stood in front of the mirror above the granite fireplace which was never used and ran a brush threw my darkened brown locks that reached my elbows before starting to curl into the ringlets its naturally turns into. Looking at my oval face and gently shaped jaw I played with my face watching my pale skin move. My thick pouting lips were a natural pale peach colour; my nose was straight and small. And my almond eyes were framed in thick lashes my eyes were lovely in my opinion, they were green but you could see flecks of gold and blue around the pupil that became more prominent and noticeable in the sun as they reflected like cat eyes making my smirk.

Yawning I crawled onto the cold leather sofa and watched the shadows play across the room happy it was Saturday.

What do you think? It was just something that has been playing on my mind a few days now and I thought why not? And so review and tell me what you think please as it's the first Doctor who Fanfic I'm doing and I only just started re-watching it after a few years so it might not follow the original plot but not sure yet so any advice or ideas would be welcome! :)
