Chapter 10

The next morning Katie shot up from where she was asleep she was sweating and her heart was beating fast Katie had just had a nightmare her dreams she had thought they had gone but it seemed they had returned Katie turned towards the window she noticed that it was daytime and today was the big day just then there was a knock at her door which opened slightly.

"Oh you're awake," The person at the door said

Katie looked up

"Mum... what does it feel like being nervous?"

Rose who was at the door stepped into the room and closed the door behind her she then sat on Katie's bed next to Katie and looked at her

"How nervous do you feel?"

"Very scared"

"Then like this"

"But what if the people don't like me or Jareth what if he's chosen wrong"

"Katie, he has not the people know you they know that you helped The Doctor save Atinitie they will like you as much as they liked Queen Celethe or any King from the past now is not the time to stop the proceeding's everything is going to plan"

"But what about Lord Taron I heard he's coming to Jareth said that his father was very strict with him and he was scheduled to take over the throne if Princess Xeni couldn't handle it"

"Lord Taron is not like his father I spoke to him and he's fine with it"

After a while, Rose stood and looked at Katie with a smile

"You better get ready one hour to go"

Katie then smiled

That hour came and went by quick Katie's dress was brought to her room the dress was a none sleeved long dress with the colour being velvet red and gold at the trim her hair was done it was curly and there was a huge butterfly clip that had been clipped into her hair at the back then it had small white flowers around it.

As Katie walked down the aisle there were lots of people watching her some of them she knew who was smiling like her family and Romana Katie looked at them all. As she passed the front row to her right was The Doctor, Rose and Molly and Anita, Romana and Kelis were sat a row behind them on the other side of the room to her left was Xeni and the rest of Jareth's family the rest of the people in the throne room were maids, guards, and some high-class Atinition people up ahead waiting for her was Jareth who she smiled at.

Later that evening after the ceremony those closest to Katie and Jareth were in a huge room people in this room were having drinks and introducing themselves to each other Kelis was stood off to the side watching Katie and Anita at the same time Anita was stood by a table of drinks she was thinking about what she had to do as she did this she heard Kelis voice inside her head

"Nows the time" it was a whisper but Anita was just stood there looking around "Anita I know you can hear me... it's time" So Anita picked up a glass and filled it with a drink she next made sure that no one saw her for except Kelis as she opened the small container that she had no one saw her as she put the poison in the container in the glass which mixed in and faded into the drink Anita then with the drink walked over to Katie who was talking to Jareth.

"Katie here," Anita said handing her the drink

"Anita thank you," Katie said and looked at her sister "I'm glad your here"

"It's no problem" Anita said with a slight smile as Katie took a sip of her drink Anita slipped away from Katie and Jareth not bothering to watch her drink she walked towards the door but stole a glance at Kelis who nodded to her Anita turned her head away from Kelis and walked out of the room once she was out of the room she ran to her room to be sick.

The next day Rose, The Doctor along with Anita and Molly were saying their goodbyes to Katie Romana and Kelis had already returned to Gallifrey of which Anita was glad about but the deed was done and in one hundred years Katie's time she would die things were out of her power now she watched as Katie hugged The Doctor and smiled up at him they then let go as he turned to Rose

"I'll go start The TARDIS up"

He then left the room just as Rose was looking at Katie

"I'm proud of you Katie" Rose said as she hugged her and whispered in her ear "See didn't I tell you that this could be a better life" Rose said and pulled away and looked over Katie's shoulder at Jareth who was talking to his sister "Keep him close to you and don't let him go"

"I won't"

Rose stood off to the side whilst she waited for Molly and Anita

"Bye," Anita said with a pretend to smile and a hug she then joined her mother who thought that was odd

"Bye Katie we'll come see you," Molly said in Katie's ear as she hugged her

"Hope so" Katie whispered back

As The Doctor walked outside it was chilly and no one else but him was around as he got to the middle he stopped

"I know you're here you could at least show yourself"

A man who was hiding in the shadows stepped out from his right

"Hello Doctor"

The Doctor turned towards the man

"So your Garoth"

"Indeed"

"So what's with the attacks on Zeta Nine

"The twicely attack on Zeatar Nine was all part of the plan"

"Zeta 9 is not called that any more it hasn't for centuries that you should know and what do you mean plan?"

"Davros plan"

"What plan?"

But Garoth instead of answering looked around as six men emerged from the shadows and grabbed The Doctor Garoth then looked at The Doctor

"For the coming war"

Rose, Anita and Molly walked down the steps to go outside they saw that The Doctor was nowhere to be seen

"Must be inside?" Rose said

Rose and Molly walked into The TARDIS whilst Anita stopped for a moment and looked around and then back at the castle as if something scared her she then turned her attention back to The TARDIS and walked in once she was inside The TARDIS she saw her mum coming down the steps

"No, he's not up here either"

"What's wrong?" Anita asked curiously but the door behind her locked itself and The TARDIS flew off into the vortex.
