Author Note: I haven't gotten the chance to read through this chapter thoroughly yet, and realize there are probably a hundred typos. I wanted to get a story out on my page so I hurried through this. If you see Typos, please tell me so it will be easier for me to fix. The next chapter I will edit before posting, so this is just a onetime thing. Thank you, Char
The Doctor had saved me, nearly 100 years ago. My planet, Fluaerion, was at war. Constantly people were dying around me, the explosions destroying most of the lakes and rivers that engulfed the planet. The land was dying and so were its people, the Water Nyrids. We thrived in the water and with the war destroying what was left of it, we slowly dwindled away.
It was a silly war, a group of aliens from a neighboring planet wanted to borrow our lands and use our water to help support its people. We of course allowed them small privileges to the waters, not being cruel people, but they soon abused their privileges, draining most of the lakes on the eastern side of the planet. When Gardo, our leader, forced them to leave and never return, they left full of hatred, and returned full of vengeance. They brought armies and attacked, claiming if they couldn't have out water then neither could we.
When the wars were reaching their roughest part, that's when he came. The man in the blue box. His hair was spiky and brown and sideburns came down his face. His coat was long and blew in the wind, and got caught in one of the generators moments upon him arriving. He nearly had a heart attack at the thought of it ripping.
That's how I met him, saving him from being sucked into the spinning turbines of the generator. In return he left me his jacket telling me not to let anything happen to it, Janis Joplin gave him said jacket. He charged into the battle, trying to make peace with everything, but I think he just made it worst in the end.
The planet began to explode. And I remember standing there, outside his blue box, him offering me his hand, as a last resort to save someone from my planet. A loud red haired woman stood behind him, yelling at me to choose life, to live on for my people. Being afraid of death as I was, I knew the choice was simple, and I took his hand and climbed into his blue box.
I was soon overcome by grief as I realized I was alone, the last of my kind. My home was gone, my family was gone, and I wished I had chosen to stay on Fluaerion to suffer with the rest of my kind. I was on the Tardis, the name for his space ship/time machine, for a total of three days, and spent all of them sitting in the swimming pool. My skin acting strangely to the chemicals in the water.
On the night of the third day, I asked the Doctor to leave me, anywhere. I didn't want to travel the stars with him. It felt wrong, and I needed time to grieve for my people.
"Are you sure you want to do this." He asked, his eyes sad. The red haired woman, Donna as I had learned stood near the consol staring at me, understanding my choice.
"Yes, Doctor. I must grieve for my people , and cannot do so darting around the stars. " I looked into his brown eyes and felt his sadness. Grabbing his hand I placed a rounded jewel inside his palm. "Next time we meet Doctor, it will be the last, and I fear you will have forgotten me." I said, he rolled the clear item around his palm, staring at the single bubble trapped inside.
"What is it?" He asked throwing on glasses and holding it into the light.
"A Maiden's Heart." I said sadly. "It's what the females of my people give to our chosen suitor, but seeing as I am the last and it is my only possession, it felt it alright to give it to you." He glanced at the jewel wearily and placed it in his pocket. "Now I think it is just a…forget me not." I said smiling and turning towards the doors.
"Goodbye, Narini." He said, nodding at me.
"Don't worry, I know we will meet again. I feel it." I said before stepping out into the grassy countryside. I heard the sounds of the Tardis leaving and followed the pull of water. I was left in London, year 1910. It was hard to blend into the society of people, even though my appearance wasn't that terribly off from humans.
My hair was almost white, and shimmered blue like the water, and my skin was pale and flawless. My body just looks frail and sickly to human standards, but I was strong and agile. In the 1970's I changed location, after staying so long in London, I felt the need to change. I went to the countryside, and that's where I stayed, until I felt the pull of my Maiden's Heart.
