Chapter 7

The small spacecraft had landed in a field that was close to a town full of people trading goods as it landed the spacecraft had gone unnoticed.

"We're here," The guard said to Katie as she looked out of the window

It was a little while later when Katie got to the town the first thing she did was steal a cloak to hide under so no one would see her face and notice who she was as she wasn't sure if people would recognize her as the Queen of Atinitie.

Katie walked through the town for a while searching for The Doctor. The town was a huge place with many streets Katie did not know whereabouts The Doctor was she knew it would take her a while to find him Katie did wonder if he had already left but as she turn a corner into the next street she saw him at a stall talking to a man so hid her face and ran to an alleyway she saw and stood at the entrance searching around for her mother and sisters Katie didn't see them so turned her attention back to The Doctor.

She watched him as he stopped talking to the man at the stall and moved away there were not a lot more people around.

"It's now or never," She thought to herself checking that no one could see her she whispered words in the Paylosikion language that Griffin had taught and directed her attention at The Doctor.

But as he collapsed to the floor and people looked his way Katie didn't look back as she quickly left.

A couple of days had passed on Atinitie, Katie woke up it was the day that she was due to return back to Jareth and her daughter, Katie was nervous, worried even after the guard had left her she had sat and thought for days if she had been noticed but nobody had come to find her so she was glad about that otherwise she didn't know what she would have done.

When Katie finished packing her stuff up she made sure that the fire was out and that the cloak she stole was burnt after this she left the cabin.

By the time Katie rode through the gates to the citadel, it was midday and the guards at the main gates were changing. As Katie passed them and other various people they stopped and bowed but Katie took no notice of them instead she took notice of Jareth he was stood on the bottom step looking solemn and when he saw her he took a step forwards he looked as though he wanted to tell her something important she was worried but no one else was with him. Katie didn't know what to think when she stopped her horse in front of Jareth and looked down at him as he stared up at her. When she got down from the horse she spoke to him.

"Jareth what's wrong?"

"Are you well Katie?"

"Better... is something wrong?" She asked him worried

"I have something to tell you"

"What is it?... it's not Celethe is it?" Katie asked and from the corner of her eye, she saw Xeni stood by the entrance next to her was Celethe.

"It's The Doctor..." Jareth began to say and Katie knew what he was about to say someone must have been here she looked behind Jareth at the other people as they took no notice of them.

"What's wrong?" She asked pretending to be concerned

"I think you better come inside"

Jareth lightly grabbed her arm and they both made their way inside Katie was worrying now did they know it was her who killed The Doctor? Were they inside waiting for her?.

As they passed Xeni Katie looked at her coldly and she took Celethe's hand, Celethe followed them inside.

They had gone to their private quarters once the door had been shut and Celethe had sat in a chair Jareth had told her.

"He's..." Katie started she looked distraught and started to break down

"I'm sorry they found him we got the message yesterday but I didn't know where you had gone because you never said so I waited for you to get back" Jareth replied as he looked at Katie who was now sat on the bed she looked up at the wall in front of her as Celethe looked at her mother.

"Where was the message from?" Katie asked

"The Shadow Proclamation they had got a message from Gallifrey..." Jareth said as he looked away and at his daughter and Katie looked at him

"Of course I shall go there then," Katie said as she stood she knew the message would have been from Gallifrey but she didn't need Gallifreyan laws to be her problem now.
