Jessaline: A Doctor Who Fanfiction
By: Kitty Am I
Chapter 1: "A Pretty Angel"
The Doctor loved Kathlynian the Ginger. She was much different than Katherine Poppy the Tiny Brunette.
Katherine Poppy the Tiny Brunette was a lot more... Secretive. She kept things hidden from him. Kathlynian the Ginger was more open. Katherine Poppy was quiet, yet sassy. Kathlynian was loud and still sassy. Katherine Poppy however, was much tidier could cook and would've made a much better housewife. Kathlynian, well, The Doctor was lucky if he could even open the door to their room sometimes, and her cooking was inedible, to say the best. But Katherine Poppy was just a little girl. She was scared and broken, when she saw those cybermen on her last day as Katherine Poppy, she was paralyzed with fear. Kathlynian was utterly self-confident and could take out a dalek with one cleverly aimed Earth-bullet. (Or would at least attempt it without panicking.)
But it was one day, when Kathlynian and The Doctor ran into an angel, and something terrible happened.
Kathlynian stood face to face with the weeping angels. She had personal experience with the weeping angels, something she had never told the Doctor, and boy was she not happy to see them.
"Katherine Poppy, please, run with me, we can go!" The Doctor pleaded.
Kathlynian's eyes flooded with tears. This was not her, no no, she lost this part of her! This regeneration wasn't a coward!
"I.. I... I..."
"Kathlynian, please." He whispered.
The memories came rushing back. A ten year old blonde Kathlynian, first regeneration, smiling and frolicking with her twin sister.
"Lookit this, Kathlynian." She said. "A pretty angel."
"I've never seen one of these before." Kathlynian said, following her sister.
The two turned to make sure their parents weren't watching as they wandered off. When they turned, the angel had a horrifying face, hands poised to attack.
"Jessaline... What is this?" She asked.
"I can't..." She murmured, glued to her spot.
"Jessaline, Kathlynian, where did you two run off too?" Their mum called.
"Mum!" Jessaline said turning to see her. "What's this?"
"Kathlynian! Don't blink! Keep looking at the angel and back away towards me!" Her mum instructed.
But Kathlynian was only a little girl, and she blinked, then Jessaline and The Angel were gone.
"Is something wrong, Kathlynian?" The Doctor asked, laying a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Jessaline." She cried. "You took my sister!" She shouted at the angel.
"Who.. Who's Jessaline? Are you alright, Kathlynian."
"KILL IT!" She shouted. "Kill the angel! It deserves to die! It took my sister!"
Her mum was bawling, Kathlynian had no idea what she had done. Where had Jessaline gone? Was she hiding in the grass?
"Jessaline, where'd you go? I think Mummy's hurt." Kathlynian said worriedly.
"Mummy, where's Jessaline?"
"Mummy... Where's Jessaline." Kathlynian whispered with choking breaths as she recalled her first regeneration's last words.
Her mum struck her. She didn't mean to hurt her, but she didn't know what to feel right now. Her daughter essentially killed her other daughter.
Kathlynian fell, and hit her head on a rock.
"No no, Kathlynian, I didn't mean to." Her mum sobbed.
Kathylnian coughed, sending gold sparks into the air, her young ten year old eyes filled with fear.
"Oh, Kathlynian what have I done! I'm so sorry Dearest!" She cried.
"Kathlynian, it may be a monster, but I can't just kill it. We can escape, everyone lives, but you've got to come with me now!"
"You don't understand." She hissed. "It deserves to die!"
The Doctor was hurt. Oh, he understood. Who ever Jessaline was, had been taken from Kathlynian by the angels, and he knew very well how that was.
"What about Amy and Rory?" He asked quietly.
Suddenly, all the anger and hatred she had built up inside disappeared, and she realized the awful truth to the words she had said.
She grabbed his hand without taking her eyes off the angel.
"I'm sorry." She mumbled. "Jessaline wouldn't have wanted the pretty angel to die."
"They are pretty, as far as monsters go." He agreed.
Kathlynian took a deep breath. "Let's run."
a/n:
So... this is Jessaline. You don't need to have read the previous stories to understand this, but it might help. Let me just give you a brief refresher.
Kathlynian Mariamus is a time lord. She's on her fourth incarnation, currently tall, pale, and ginger. Her faceclaim is Laura Spencer from The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. The Doctor met Kathlynian during her third incarnation, but after an incident with cybermen, she was killed, and regenerated.
This story is set a few years after the first two, where as The Doctor and Kathlynian are now married, and living a somewhat peaceful life on the TARDIS.
Review and such, because it makes me a happy person :3
Love, Kitty
