*Flashback*
(The doctor)
I was stood in the moonlight outside the house of my mother's best friend.
I took the sleeping child from her mother's arms. Calliathia was the child of Cassio and Sastinar, two of the best seers on Gallifrey.
"Look after her boy" Cassio spat. His true feelings towards me showing at last, he'd always disliked the fact that I was Calliathia's other guardian.
"I trust you, please take these and guard them until she is old enough to understand. I wish you to find her and return her to timelord state, keep her safe my child" Sastinar whispered before handing me a bracelet and the child's timelord self.
"I will"
Back then I was still a mere child... I just hope that the bracelet will help Callia adjust to the things I must tell her soon. My mind snapped back to reality. I was sat in the library on a comfortable chaise, holding the most important thing in the world.
Callia's watch.
My dreams were getting weirder and weirder. Every night I was transported to a strange orange planet. Where I lived a different life, I was a child. With parents and a happy life. I was a 'timelord' my parents were called Cassio and Sastinar and were important in the society of 'timelords' I was visited sometimes by a strange man, each time he'd have a different face but I always knew who he was. He was my bestfriend... He took me out sometimes to the watch the two great suns set and the moons rise but always the dream would end with me in searing pain throughout my body.
"Callia!" My 'mother' called.
"Yes?" I replied.
"You can come down now the guests are arriving" She shouted up the stairs.
"Fine." I was again shoved in what my parents deemed as 'appropriate' clothing. I was forced into having a dinner party for my birthday. My 17th birthday and I haveto have a dinner party. Please excuse me while I go and do something far funner than this. Dangle myself of a bridge maybe? With a 'serious talk' from my mother coming anytime soon I descended the stairs quickly and quietly as I still had my converse on under my blue monstrosity that was ironically called a dress.
"Cal! You look beautiful!" Lana, M-K and Amber shouted before enveloping me in their arms. They all looked equally gorgeous, even in their dresses.
"Thankyou! So do you!" I exclaimed. We went through to the dining room where on the side table was an elegant cake covered in.. What a surprise! Marzipan. I hate marzipan.
"Callia darling, come sit at the head of the table" My mother said sickly. I walked around the table and took my seat, M-k, Lana and mum on my right and Amber, Alice and Dad on my left. The food on the table before me was not what I wanted but a wilted looking salad that was unappealing to me.
"Callia. Eat." My father commanded. I took a mouthful of the salad and continued to look morose.
As dinner progressed it got worse. By dessert I was praying for an excuse to cut and run. Dessert was a tiny pot of white chocolate and raspberry mousse with shortbread and raspberry coulis. Kill me now...
When the ordeal was finally over me and the girls made our excuses and went upstairs to change. Now for the real fun. I pulled of the mostrosity that was meant to be a dress and shoved on jeans and a t-shirt.
"Come on girls. Lets go." I said as I grabbed their arms and dragged them out of the house.
I watched as Callia lit up a cigarette. She was drunk. I had to resist the urge to go over, pull the thing out of her mouth and stamp on it. I waited as one by one her friends went back into the hall where the party was being held. Until finally she was alone.
"Callia..." I said, stepping out of the shadows that had kept me concealed from her.
A/N - Sorry guys, I know it's short. I've not had much time to write and I've had a horrible week. I'll make up for it in the next one I promise. The next chapter's a BIG one.
