Chapter 9

The Doctor with Rose, Anita and Molly were sitting around a long table in a huge dining room that they had been led to by Princess Xeni who had greeted them upon arrival. As they waiting for Katie to come Rose sat in thought she was concerned for Katie and wondered how had Katie taken the news that Jareth was alive was beyond her on the way to Atinitie she considered that she was right about Katie not getting over his death but more importantly Xeni had told them that The King had died and The Queen was gravely ill this meant that Jareth was going to be King and Rose wondered if whether Jareth would choose Katie over being King? And wondered how Katie would feel about it all?.

Rose including the others looked up as the door to the room opened and in walked Katie who looked slightly happier Rose noted but a bit concerned under the current circumstances Katie sat down at the table and looked at them all.

"I have something to tell you all..." Katie said as she looked at them "The King sadly passed away and The Queen is dying"

"We know this Princess Xeni told us" Anita replied

Rose got up and sat in the seat beside Katie and took her hands

"Katie, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, I'm okay there is nothing to worry about"

"Katie I think you know by now that Jareth is going to become King and you know you can't be with him?"

"No, but that's what I wanted to tell you," Katie said as she pulled her hands away "He's asked me to be with him and..."

"Be his Queen?" Rose asked

"Yes!" Katie said with a smile

Rose looked at Katie with shock as The Doctor was surprised, Molly had a smile on her face happy for Katie and Anita had looked at Katie for a moment and away she couldn't believe what was happening maybe Kelis had lied to her or maybe Katie was going to do what she saw whilst with Jareth maybe she would lose Jareth again? But thought if Katie had a daughter in the future then why? She couldn't kill Katie because Celethe needed to save them but how she did not know.

As Anita thought about her problem Rose spoke again.

"Katie I am happy for you and I cannot stop you from having what you want or what to have but he careful this role you are going into is important not just to Jareth but to the people of Atinitie"

"I know and Thank you" Katie replied with a smile and hugged her mother she looked at all of them each smiling at her even Anita, Katie was happy knowing they were supporting her.

A couple of days later The Queen had passed during those days as she grew weaker The Doctor with the others researched more about Garoth and how they were going to find him they stayed on Atinitie Jareth was given the day to mourn alone but Katie was there if he needed her. The day after Jareth was crowned King and he announced that very same day that Katie was to be Queen of Atinitie and she was to be instated a few days later

Katie had requested for President Romana to come so that Jareth could sign a peace treaty with Gallifrey since he wanted to do it anyway. Kelis also came with her and a few guards, Martha and Jack had also come from Earth that very same night preparations were being done and a crown was being made for Katie that will show the symbol of unity in Katie's life.

Katie was given her own quarters for the night as did the other's The Doctor and Rose shared a room as Molly and Anita had their own rooms.

In their own Rose and The Doctor were sat around a table The Doctor was looking at information on Garoth. The fire was light in their room but Rose, of course, was about to fall asleep as she was tired but The Doctor wasn't as he didn't need any Rose looked at him.

"Doctor?"

"Yes?"

"I don't trust Kelis"

"How do you mean?" The Doctor asked curiously looking at Rose

"She's been hanging around Anita a lot lately and I think she has threatened her I don't know"

"Why do you think that? Kelis has been a lot of help to us"

"A lot of help to us? To Gallifrey or herself? It's not like she cansee the future she's hasn't exactly predicted right in the past she said Katie would be found"

"And she has"

"That was a long time we didn't find Katie she came to us I'm worried about Anita there is something wrong why has Kelis come to Atintie?"

"Rose you're worrying about nothing"

"Doctor I bet you I'm worrying for the right reasons but if I'm wrong right now then I'm tired but if I'm right and there is something wrong I told you so"

"You better get some sleep, Rose"

"Yeah," Rose said as she stood and walked around the other side of the table she gave The Doctor a peck on the cheek and went to the bed and closed her eyes.

"Rose..." She opened her eyes quickly and looked at The Doctor who was reading she then closed her eyes again

Anita was along in her own room until there was knock at the door but before she could answer the door opened to reveal Kelis who had shut the door behind her and stood there

"What do you want"

"Events are coming all I can see in the darkness"

"What do you expect me to do"

"What I told you to do it's true Anita you saw what I showed you can you allow that to happen? You can't be fooled by all of this Jareth's return doesn't mean anything"

"I suppose I can't but why me?"

"You're the most trusted you will understand one day when they have forgiven you" Kelis replied as she looked out of the window with dark sad eyes "I must go now you better get some sleep be ready for tomorrow" She said and walked out of the room leaving Anita to cry until she fell asleep.
