"Doctor," the rasping, voice of the emperor caught him of guard "It's been a long time."
"Indeed it has."
"I wish to speak to you about Louise," he took in a rattling breath. The Doctor nodded. "She's been given a pass until she finds her bonded partner." The Doctor didn't understand why he was telling him this. "When she has found him, she will be entered in the data base as suitable for the next creator," then the Doctor understood. "She may not get selected but she will be entered, if she is chosen her destiny will change! You are a smart man Doctor you will know when this is." The Doctor felt sick at what he was hearing.
"She thinks you've given her a pass, she thinks she's free!" the emperor looked at his through his glassy eyes. His face was void of all emotion.
"She is a very capable Time Lord, she will be entered. She will be free." The Doctor got up.
"I'm leaving tonight with Louise, she will not be returning to Gallifrey." He turned and left the room with out another word, he walked right through the crowd and out into what was now a cold night. He walked quickly down the street and back to Catherine and James's house. When he got there, he knocked on the door. Louise opened it flinging her arms around him she hugged him he hugged her back.
"Are you ready to leave?" he asked as softly as he could for his angry mood.
"Yes, I just need co-ordinates why?"
"I thought we'd get a head start!" He smiled broadly at her.
"Really?" she smiled brightly back at him. He nodded. "I'll just go say bye to Catherine and James." She rushed through the house to the kitchen. They looked at her and the Doctor could see that Cat knew what was about to be said. She stood up going over and embracing her friend.
"Just promise me you'll be safe."
"I promise." She pulled back and James came over and hugged her. Cat looked over at the Doctor, who hugged her and whispered as he did, "I promise to keep her safe."
"I know you'll look after her." He shook James hand and after a few tears from the ladies, they stepped out into the street.
"So where do you want to go first?" the Doctor stepped off of the bottom step onto the ground, looking expectantly at Louise.
"Anywhere," she smiled so excited, "I'll follow you anywhere." He smiled cheekily.
"Anywhere it is then!" he turned his coat flapping with the movement lapping at his ankles. "I'll send you though the coordinates as soon as I'm at the TARDIS."
She nodded and as he walked off, she headed to the warehouse where she had built and stored her TARDIS; she unlocked the warehouse and walked in it was empty except a large cardboard box in the middle. The chameleon circuit in her ship had decided a cardboard box in a warehouse was the best thing to be! She pulled a small bronze coloured key out of her pocket and placed it in the lock- disguised as a stamp on the outside of the box. She walked in closing the doors behind her hearing the computer beep as it received the co-ordinates. She ran over to the controls barely able to contain her excitement. She hit the button under her computer screen that triggered the start sequence for travelling. No sooner had it started it stopped. She took a deep breath, checking her coat pockets for her screwdriver, she threw open the doors.
