Chapter 7 – "Why me?"
The creature was now in the doorway and still moaning when the Doctor got Tasha behind him to keep her safe.
"Why are you here, and what do you want with Tasha! " The Doctor was now furious.
"Doctor what is that?" Tasha asked now confused and really scared.
"It's a nightwalker…they are very dangerous and only come after someone if there is a special something about the person they are attacking, and they only show up if the collector didn't do it's job!"
"But what is so special about me…I'm not good at any particular thing, and I don't think that I can ever be outstanding in anything that I do…" Tasha said frantically missing the rest of the Doctor's common alien knowledge.
You are needed….
"Needed? For what?" The Doctor answered for Tasha while she was puzzled in her own thoughts.
Needed for the choice… "The choice of what?" It was Tasha's turn to speak, and she was ready for answers.
"What do you want with me, and why are you trying to capture me?" Tasha now trying not to faint from all the noises going on in her head, stood upright and concentrated on trying to get an answer while the Doctor was trying to put all the pieces together.
Because you are special and only you can make this choice… That was all the Doctor needed before he was able to put two and two together.
"Tasha. You really need to concentrate right now. You are special, you are important; you just need to concentrate…"
"Doctor I don't understand what you mean…concentrate on what?"
"Concentrate on why you feel out of place, and why you asked for help in the first place…you are special because you don't belong on Earth, you are an alien."
Tasha couldn't believe what she had just heard, "I'm a WHAT? But how? Wait never mind don't answer that question, anyway Doctor do you know why they need me?" The Doctor started to think a little more about how special Tasha was when he remembered how she had acted when they were in different places. She was excited to see different lands and galaxies, but something in her mind made her feel like she had already been there before, like she knew what was going to happen before the Doctor himself knew.
"Tasha, when we went to the different planets and times, didn't you tell me that you felt like you had been there before…like you had seen them but didn't know if you were seeing things or if you were just going crazy?"
Tasha thought about it for a second and then the memories flew back to her.
Little Tasha sitting on her mother's lap while her mother told her all the things she could accomplish in her life, she was only a toddler when her father had died, but she didn't know that her father was a Dreamcatcher. The Dreamcatchers are like the Time Lords, they look human, but their bodies were different from humans. They don't have hearts but they can still feel and have emotions like any human or Time Lord could. The other difference was that, when a dreamcatcher conceive with a human, their offspring tend to lose the memories of their ancestors as they got older, but Tasha was different because she had a heart, and she was the princess of the Dreamcatchers.
Once Tasha remembered all of her memories about being with her mother and father, her father running away after she was born, and her mother telling her of her history and why she was special, she looked up to the Nightwalker and told him with as much strength as she could muster, "You do not need me, I need you to leave me alone and leave me be! I stayed for a reason, so that all could be at peace with my kind. Now LEAVE!" And with that, the Nightwalker disappeared into a mist and left the words, I will return…and you will come with me then, Princess Cynthia.
