The Doctor stood there looking out of the window. He was in deep thought, none of this made sense. Marion told him of the creature and it fits none of the aliens in the entire universe. Queen Elizabeth sees's Marion as a way to stop war. Marion stopped the creature from eating Sir Francis drake. Everything seemed connected to the young time lady.

"Sir"

The Doctor turned to see a man. He looked frail, he was rather young but….frail.

"I don't want to frighten you sir. My name is John Dee and I must talk to you about….. Things"

The Doctor grinned, "Yes I could talk about lots of things. World champion of talking about things"

The man bowed his head and gave a small smile "please follow me sir"

The man led him to a small, dark room a tower. The room was filled with scrolls, a large telescope and paintings.

"Nice, a bit dark and cluttered but nice" the Doctor commented

"Sir Doctor knighted by her majesty queen Victoria the first. It is a honour to finally met you"

The Doctor stared at the man.

"I am a seer." The man said

"Oh yes I met one of those" the Doctor said

"Yes Gwyneth is my great, great, great etc. etc. granddaughter. It is a shame how she died"

"I'm sorry"

"It doesn't matter. It is after my time. Two sugars and milk wasn't it?"

"Yep, just perfect"

John laughed "unfortunately I have no tea; however any relative of mine will know how you like it." John sobered "Doctor, I have seen things that make no sense. There's a storm coming"

"Always is" the Doctor muttered bitterly.

"Yes, your young lady – Marion – she is shrouded in mystery. She is connected to another who in turn is connected to your ship. The monster under the sea is an old tale, one of the kind. Marion's parentage is fascinating, but I am not allowed to tell you."

"Aww" the Doctor whined "can't you give me a hint"

John grinned "I'm afraid not"

"She's so overbearing. She sends clothes and jewels. Tells me to call her Beth, Beth. For crying out loud I'm not her sister. I'm not going to be the mistress of king Phillip" Marion snapped pacing across the room she was sharing with Donna.

"You do have that aura around you" Donna said brushing her hair.

"So! I am not anyone's property. I make my own choices." Marion said looking at her reflection.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in" Donna yelled.

The door opened and the Doctor came in. "we have a problem" he said.

"What else is new?" Donna asked starting to pin her hair back.

"Queen Elizabeth has just had the adoption papers written and I'm expected to sign them." The Doctor said. Marion didn't say anything.

"I guess we could run for it" Donna said sliding a large hair clip in the shape of a butterfly in.

"Distract them. There's something I got to do." Marion said and she began to walk. "Meet me in the TARDIS in an hour" she called back.

"I can't sign this" the doctor announced

"And why not? Do you not want to be free sir Doctor?" the queen said angrily

"I want my sister to be free and with you sending her to Spain, she'll never be free" the Doctor shouted.

"You have just made an enemy Doctor" the queen snarled.

"What! All over a child. This is ridiculous" the Doctor said remembering the last time he met the queen.

A guard burst into the room at that very moment. "Your majesty, lady Marion has been spotted in the sea….she's gone under and hasn't came out"

Authors note: dun dun. Cliff hanger! What happened to Marion? Well you have to sit tight and review before I can tell you.
