I'm back from my holiday! Sorry it's taken a few days to get this up but I will try get Chapter 5 up as soon as possible as I go away again on Friday

Chapter 4

Her boots sank in to the soft white sand.

Dalek parts lay all around, some still smoking slightly now that they had been destroyed. She kicked several of them around, annoy that they had ruined everything. They always ruined everything. But this helped her confirm one thing.

The Doctor had been here.

…

Evelyn laid on the floor of the TARDIS, breathing heavy from fighting off the Daleks "Well I don't want to see them again any time soon! Evil little buggers."

The Doctor laughed "No promises." He noticed some cuts and bruises along her legs. "Come on, we better check there hasn't been any damage to you."

She frowned "You've never checked before."

"You've never had to fight off Daleks before."

"Good point." Evelyn rose to her feet and follow The Doctor down the long corridor to the medical room. She had never been in here before, it contained far more advanced science than she had ever seen. A few of the machines looked quite frightening.

The Doctor patted the bed in the middle of the room, causing her to jump up and lay on it. She felt rather silly, almost embarrassed, but she always felt this way around doctors but not normally The Doctor, maybe it was the name…

A projector-like object appeared from the ceiling, it turned to The Doctor.

"Just the usual." He responded

The scanner made a small jerking movement, almost like a nod, then ran its beam over Evelyn. Information began to appear the next to bed.

"Evelyn Saxon. Body temperature…" The Doctor read aloud "…fifteen degrees Celsius, fifty-nine Fahrenheit…" He frowned, that was low for a human, but he pressed on as the machine glided up her body "…heart rate, one hundred seventy per minute, number of hearts…" He stopped, frozen still, she couldn't be…

"Number of hearts is pretty obvious!" Evelyn said, "It's one! My body temperature is a bit low though, shouldn't it be like thirty-seven?"

The Doctor slowly nodded "Yes, it should be, but you have two. Evelyn… you aren't human."

She stared at him, bewildered. "Well of course I am, what else could I be? Look at me!" She stopped, looking at The Doctor, if she just passed him in the street she would think that he was a human. "Am I like you?"

As the scanner shut down, having completed its job, The Doctor looked over the information, all of it said yes, she was like him, he wasn't sure whether to be worried or relieved. He continued to read the information, finally his eyes landing on species at the top. 'Human from Mother, Time Lord from Father. A hybrid.'

"Yes." The Doctor said in a shaky voice. "You are. Your Father was a Time Lord, like me." He paused in horror "Saxon… you never told me if that was your Mother or Father's surname."

"My Father, it's the only thing I know really… why?"

The Doctor sank to the floor, burying his face in his hands. She couldn't be, please don't let her be. It had to be him… her… but he was sure she had died in the explosion, slightly sadly, his oldest friend.

"Why?" Evelyn repeated

He looked up at her, he still couldn't believe that it was a possibility. "I think I may know who you're Father is." He sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "But I think she maybe dead."

Evelyn gave him a confused look "She?"

"Oh sorry, Time Lords regenerate from time to time if hurt or injured too badly and your Father happened to change in to a woman last time he regenerated… in to a woman called Missy."

She blinked several times at how blasé The Doctor was being about her Father now being a woman, but she had heard the pain in his voice about the possibility of him… her… being dead. Her heart sank though, she had hoped to meet her Father one day but now that was looking even less likely. She had to ask "What makes you think this Missy is my Father?"

"Missy used to be known as The Master. He ran for Prime Minister in the mid 2000s under the name Harold Saxon, I would assume this is the name he used when he met your Mother also."

Evelyn slid off the bed and sat on the floor next to the Doctor "Would you be able to tell me what my Dad was like?"

"In many ways he was great man… then woman… my best friend at the Academy, but things changed." He wanted look at her but he couldn't bring himself to do so, no child wants to hear ill of their parents, whether they have been around or not, but he had to tell her "He's done some terrible things, too many to list, I've always somehow ended up clearing up his messes, but this time I couldn't, well not all of it anyway."

She frowned "What do you mean?"

The Doctor told Evelyn the whole horrific tale. How her best friend had been shot and turned in to a Cyberman all because he told her to wait, how two carnations of her Father had joined forces to ensure the Cybermen won and could eventually take over, and then the possibility of death. The Doctor still couldn't look at Evelyn. He wanted to, he had felt her shrink away from his side as he had spoken and could hear her breathing shake.

"He's horrible." She whispered

The Doctor sighed "But not always, there was a slight turn around as Missy…"

Evelyn gave a slight laugh, interrupting "But then she went straight back."

He looked at the floor "Unfortunately so."

She turned to him, forcing him to look at her and see her soft blue eyes shining with tears causing his hearts to feel like they were breaking. "Am I like him… her…?"

"No!" The Doctor cried "Absolutely not, you are very different." Without thinking he took hold of both her delicate hands, sending electricity in to them both. Evelyn's breath caught in her throat for a second but The Doctor managed to keep calm "You are nothing like them Evelyn and I swear that I will never let you be like them."
