CHAPTER 2

I do not own Doctor Who and I am making no profit off of this.

Thank you for all of your favorites, follows, story alerts, and reviews!

This story takes place in my War of the Guardians universe and is set sometime in the future after the events of Children of the Night. It will not spoil the events of that story though.

Jenny was staring in shock at her Dad's ninth incarnation as he looked at her in puzzlement.

"Are you lost?" the Doctor asked her with a suspicious look on his face.

"I am a little bit. Do you know how to get to The Millenium Wheel?" Jenny asked him with a big grin.

He shook his head as he said, "No. I'm afraid not. I know it's in London, but I've never actually been there before if you can believe that. It's unusual for me because I've been everywhere!"

He broke into a big grin as he said this to her. He felt at ease with this young girl, and he didn't know why. This version of him didn't always get along so well with others. It was surprising to him that he took to this young woman so well.

"I guess I'll go inside this store then and ask for directions from them. Thanks anyway though," Jenny said as she began to get nervous around him.

"Sure. No problem," the Doctor said to her, still with that grin on his face.

She quickly ran away from him before he could detect that she was a Time Lady. She had been using her powers to hide herself from him, but she still wasn't that skilled with them yet.

She ran into Henrik's without thinking about it in a panic, and she soon bumped into a young woman setting up a display.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Jenny said to her without really looking at her face.

"That's all right. I'm always doing things like that myself," said a very familiar voice.

Jenny looked at the woman in horror as she realized that it was her mum!

Jenny went pale, and Rose looked at her with concern.

"Are you alright, miss? Do you need a doctor?" Rose asked her.

Jenny almost laughed at that last statement. She needed a Doctor alright but not the one outside.

Rose studied the young girl in front of her with puzzlement on her face. She felt like she had seen the girl somewhere before, but she couldn't place her face in her memory to save her life. She didn't know who she was, but she knew that she was someone important to her somehow. She just had this strange feeling that she had to help her and make sure that she was alright.

"Why don't you set down for a while, miss? If you're still not feeling well, I'll call for an ambulance," Rose said to her with a kind smile and a look of concern on her face.

Jenny couldn't help but smile back at her. She didn't even know her here, and she was still acting like her mum. She just couldn't help but worry over her no matter where they met!

"I'm sure I'll be alright if I sit down for a minute, m – miss. Thank you for your concern though," Jenny told her politely.

"Alright but please let me know if you need me to help you," Rose said sincerely.

"I will," Jenny promised her.

Rose went back to her job, but she noticed that she still kept watching her from time to time to see if she was okay. Mum never changes! Jenny thought to herself with a smile.

Then she was taken by surprise as the woman that she had been following sat down beside her.

She looked like was about twenty five, and she had bright red hair. She looked at Jenny with a mixture of a smile and trepidation on her face.

"I'm so sorry about bringing you here. I didn't mean to do it. They took over my body for a minute and made me send you back in time. They had sensed your presence and wanted to attack you. I was trying to get away from you in order to save you, but I just couldn't shake you. I've never seen anyone move so fast in my life!" the woman said to her.

As Jenny realized just what she was saying to her, her eyes bugged out in sudden comprehension.

"You're the Weeping Angel?! You did this to me?" Jenny asked her in sudden fear as she started to move away from her.

"Yes. I'm the Angel. I'm sorry! I didn't do it. The others made me do it. They can control me sometimes. It's like we're all linked together somehow, and they can combine their minds to override mine," the woman said with sorrow in her voice.

"You act like you're not one of them," Jenny observed.

"I'm not. I'm a renegade. I left them because I didn't agree with what they do to people. You see I made the mistake of looking into the eyes of an Angel, and then I changed into one. I used to be a normal person, and then they made me into one of them. They tried to get me to attack people, but I refused. I somehow kept my old personality, and I can even turn back into my old form when I want to. I don't know how I can do it, but I can. The only problem I have is when they force me to change and attack people. They do that to me without warning, but I can always feel it coming. I can hold it off sometimes for a few minutes, but they always triumph over me eventually," the woman said sadly.

Jenny looked at her warily.

"I'll warn you if it's about to happen. Right now you're safe though," the woman told her.

Jenny nodded and then asked curiously, "What's your name?"

The woman paused for a minute deep in thought. Then she started to get upset.

"I can't remember! I used to know, but I can't remember!" she said as she started to tear up.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter right now. I'll just call you Jessica. How's that for a name?" Jenny said to her with a quick smile.

"That's fine. I still wish I could remember though. They've stolen so much from me. I still have a few memories of my past, but I've forgotten several things. Names, places, people. There are huge gaps in my mind that I can't fill. What if I forget everything and become one of them?" the newly named Jessica said with a look of fear on her face.

"You won't," Jenny said with absolute conviction.

"How do you know that?" Jessica asked her skeptically.

'I don't but I just have faith that you're the kind of person who won't let them do that to you. You've held onto your sense of self this long after all," Jenny said.

"I've lost faith, Jenny. That kind of happens after you get turned into a monster," Jessica said with a sad look.

"An angel without faith! That's kind of funny in a sad way. You're not a monster, Jessica. A monster wouldn't have taken the time to track me down and apologize to me, would they?" Jenny said with a grin.

Jessica smiled at that as she said, "I guess not. I still don't feel very human anymore though. I can't even remember my name."

"It'll come back to you in time. I'm sure of it," Jenny said to her in a cheerful tone.

"Are you feeling better now?" Rose asked Jenny as she came up to her with a concerned look on her face.

Jenny noticed that Rose didn't seem to notice Jessica at all. She wondered if it was some kind of Weeping Angel trick or something.

"Yeah, I'm fine now. Thank you for asking. You're very kind," Jenny said as she gave her mother a warm smile.

Rose just broke out into one of her face wide grins as she said, "Well, try telling my mum that. She thinks that I could stand to be a little nicer. She always accuses me of being too rude to her male friends. Mind you if you knew the kind of men she brings over you'd know why!"

Jenny just laughed. She was still the same person in the past as she was in her time. That reassured her somehow.

Rose looked confused for a minute as to why she was telling this total stranger intimate details about her life. It just felt natural to talk to her like this somehow. She had that familiar feeling about her again even though she knew that she had never seen her before in her life.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be telling you about that. You don't want to hear about my troubles," Rose said to her with chagrin.

"No. It's fine. It doesn't bother me. You remind of someone in my family actually. You're a lot like her," Jenny said with a slight smile on her face.

"Really? Is it your sister?" Rose asked curiously.

"No, but sometime she can be like a sister to me. We're very close," Jenny said honestly.

"Is she your cousin?" Rose prodded. She didn't know why she wanted to know but she did.

"No. Promise you won't be mad if I tell you?" Jenny asked in the kind of tone that she used on Rose in the future when she was about to tell her something that she was afraid would make her angry at her.

"I promise," Rose said to her with a grin.

She felt so comfortable with this girl, and she didn't know why. It was like she was an old friend.

"You remind me of my mum. Don't take that in a bad way, please! It's just that you have a personality like hers. You even seem concerned about me the way that she does," Jenny admitted.

Rose wasn't offended at all but what Jenny said. She actually found herself smiling at it, but she didn't know why.

"I'm kind of touched by that for some reason. Do you get along well with your mum?" Rose asked.

"I love her more than anyone. We're the best of friends, and we look out for each other. She's the person that I can always count on. It seems like she's always there for me when I need her. Even when she doesn't know it," Jenny said with a mysterious smile.

Rose didn't quite understand that last comment, but she smiled at her anyway because she understood that Jenny was paying her a big compliment.

"I have to get back to work, or I'll be sacked. If you need anything though, don't hesitate to ask me for help. Okay?" Rose said to her.

"Okay. Thank you so much," Jenny said with a wide smile.

Rose turned to leave and then turned around to ask, "What is your name?"

"It's Cassandra. Cassandra Harkness," Jenny said with a mischievous grin at her private joke.

"Cassandra. I've never known anyone named that before. It's a nice name. I like it. My name's Rose by the way. Rose Tyler. Maybe I'll see you around. If I don't, please take care of yourself. Okay?" Rose said with concern.

She winced at her comment to this complete stranger, but she couldn't help it. She was worried about her for some reason, and she didn't know why. Her being here in this place just felt wrong to her somehow.

"I will. Don't worry about me," Jenny said with a small smile.

"Promise me you'll go back to your mum, okay? I think she'll be missing you," Rose said.

"I'm sure she will. I'll go back as soon as I can, I promise. I'm certainly missing her," Jenny said.

Rose nodded, and then waved good bye to her. She went back to her job, but she still kept watching out for Jenny out of the corner of her eye. She couldn't understand exactly why, but she felt oddly protective of her.

Jessica was looking at Jenny strangely. She had been watching this whole conversation in complete fascination.

"Is she your mum?" Jessica finally asked her.

Jenny nodded with a grin.

"I thought so. You look a lot like her, and the two of you just clicked like you had known each other all of your lives. It was very sweet to watch actually," Jessica said with a chuckle.

"I like seeing her before I knew her. I can't stay here though. My dad is waiting outside, and he'll see through me if I go back out. He's very clever. Can you take me back now?" Jenny asked her.

"No. Your being here has become a fixed point now. I can't change it. If your dad is here though, he could just give you a ride back home if you can somehow get him to do it without making him suspicious," Jessica suggested.

"I'm sure that that will be fun. I might be able to use my own powers to get back, but I don't really know how to use them that well yet. I might never get back to the right time and place. I guess I'll have to try to get him to help without totally destroying my own timeline somehow," Jenny said with a sigh.

She wasn't looking forward to this. She didn't want to see how he would react to her if he got suspicious of her. She was sure that Dad didn't call this version of himself Shouty for no reason!

Next: Jenny goes back to Nine and tries to convince him to help her without telling him too much.
