Chapter 11

I froze in the seat. Is he trying to tell me…?
"Doctor…." I started hesitantly. "Am I a…"
"Yes." He looks over at me and touches my shoulder gently. "You're a time lord, or lady."
The room starts spinning, and my chest tightens. How? How am I a time lord/lady? I've always lived ON EARTH. With my FULL BLOOD HUMAN PARENTS. The Doctor must see my panic because he takes hold of me and strokes my hair, shushing me. I'm shaking at this point, and all I can manage to squeak out is
"How?"
He pulls me back and brushes back a stray hair from my face.
"Well...I'm not sure. The best theory I can come up with is that you once lived on Gallifrey, and never got hurt or destroyed in the Time War. Somehow you managed to escape and fall into a parallel world, and you probably had this rare timelord disease called "Rengeration Amnesia." It's where you could've rengerated into a newborn, but when the brain cells regenerated, it erased all previous memories and the side effect is that it burns away one of your hearts…so you would've forgotten all about your past regeneration lives, and be able to live with just ONE heart. And when I used my sonic on you as the same time as the cybermen's energy, it must've turned on your "timelordiness" that's been hidden away somewhere in that head of yours for so many years."
I slowly start to nod my head….This explains the numbers and shapes in my head when I first woke up. Am I some genius now? I realize I'm still in shock, but at least there's answers. He leans forward and puts his elbows on his knees.
"Leah, where were you born?"
I frown.
"I was adopted from a foster home. I never knew who my real parents were. They just said I was left near an alleyway, and got rescued." My brain started to put the pieces together. "
Oh my gosh.
"I regenerated in the alleyway into a newborn…." He gives me a look of sympathy, knowing he can't help right now.
I run my hands through my curly hair, and start taking deep breaths. I can't believe this. Well I can, it makes sense. But at the same time it makes NO sense! I turn towards the Doctor.
"What do I do?"
He rubs his chin.
"Well, you could stay with me, or you could… go home. When I reversed the energy, you lost the ability to ever regenerate again because the cyberman transformation was deteriorating you already, so you still are a time lord/lady, but you'll grow old like a human."
I grip the railings, processing what I just heard. "I'm gonna head to my room for a bit." I stand shakily and he grabs my waist, helping me. The touch just sends shivers down my spine, and electricity fills my body. Not the best time to use that analogy, but it works. He guides me to my room, and before I go in, I turn to hip and grip his hands, and look into his beautiful, ancient green eyes.
"Doctor?"
"Yes Leah?"
I look down and bite my lip. "No matter what I choose, know I'll love you. Always." A lone tear escapes my eye, and he wipes it away with his thumb.
"I know."
He gives me a sad smile and walks back to the console room, and I go into my room, flopping myself on my bed. What in this world am I gonna do?
LATER

It's hot.
Very, very hot.

I open my eyes and fire is surrounding me. I hear screaming, and immediately jump into action. I frantically look around, and everything is red. All I can hear is screaming, and all I can see is fire, and red, and I can barely make out someone calling my name frantically…

"LEAH!"
I wake with a start, sweat covering my body. I realize I'm crying, and the Doctor is holding me, trying to calm me down. I finally pull away, confused.
"There was fire…and screaming. Nothing but screams, and the color red was everywhere! The ground, the sky! The people. Doctor…" I look up at his concerned face. "Did I just see the Time War?"
He ponders this for a minute, before replying. "Probably…I mean your "time lordiness" just kind of woke up, per say, a few days ago, and that was the first time you've slept with no sedation since then." He scratches his head. "So I suppose so. I'm so sorry."
I give him a half hearted smile. "It's okay." He smiles and jumps up. "How bout some breakfast, eh? That always helps! And maybe, if you're up to it, we could go see the first play Shakespere ever wrote!" I laugh, for what seems to be the first time in a long time, and go and get ready. I straighten my hair a bit, which I haven't done in a while, and realize how long it's gotten. It's almost to my waist now. I sigh and put the straightner down. How long have I been away from home? I shake my head and go out to the console room. He's pulling some levers and looking at a screen.
"Shakespere?"
I smile. "Sure."
We both put our hands on the lever and pull it, and feel that tingly sensation again. And as I hold onto the bar as we fly through time and space, I realize I can't.
He gets up from the ground and goes and starts checking the monitors and random little buttons and things.
"Doctor?"
He's not listening.
"Doctor..?"
Still not paying attention.
"DOCTOR?"
He jumps. "Sorry, what?" He's still looking at the monitor.
"I-…I can't."
"Can't what, Leah?"
"Do…this! I can't travel with you anymore. I need to go home."
He stopped whatever he was fiddling with and turned to face me, his face looking like a lost puppy. "Oh." He clears his throat and turns back to the console, typing in the coordinates to get me back. I sit down in the pilot chair and decide to just stop waiting.

"Do you remember Martha Jones?"
He stopped typing and turned to face me, face unreadable. "Of course I do, why?"
I took in a deep breath, and said "Because I'm like Martha. I need to…get away, because I'm being looked right through. I love you Doctor, and I know it's not mutual, and I know you do love me though. I haven't cut since you caught me."
I held out my healed arms for emphasis.
"You've changed what I thought never could be. You've given me a whole new perspective on life. That there are more things than just a North or an Ocean, or that every species is important. You showed me the most beautiful things I could've asked for. I've eaten strange food, seen gorgeous planets, seen people die" His face immediately turned down.
"and see people live. I've found out I'm a freakin time lord/lady! And trust me, I don't know what to do with that except live as normally as possible."
I continued before I lost my strength and nerve. "You are indescribable. I went in the library that day, and passed a book that I knew held your name." He looked shocked. "But. I didn't look. Someone will, someday. But I didn't, because all I'll ever need to know about you is right here. And I have to go home. I don't know how long it's been. I don't know how mad they'll be or how long I'll be grounded. Or which mental hospital I'll be going to." He laughed at that, tears brimming his eyes. "But I know that no matter what happens, my best times of my life were spent in these past few months. I love you, Doctor. Can you take me home now?" He wiped the tears from his eyes, and walked over and held me tight. We stayed like that for a while, I don't know how long. We finally broke apart and he nodded. He pulled a few levers, and I said "Wait." I grabbed the handle with him" "Don't do it alone." He smiled down at me, and kissed my cheek. We both pulled down the handle to take me home.

We landed, and he walked me to the door. Wow. This is where it all started with him. I look at the 2 story tan and brick house, and it feels alien to me. Funny I should use that term. Being with the Doctor just felt RIGHT, but I know I have to come home. I saw a poster of my face on a streetlamp, with the word "MISSING" above it. The Doctor must've seen my concerned face. "It's only been a month." My mouth fell open. "It's been over half a year for me I'm guessing." He gave a small, sad smile. "Yes, I know."

We walked up to my porch, and he hugged me tight. I hugged him back, and he let go and walked down the steps. But before he could go, I said "Doctor?"
He turned around. "Yes, Leah?" I grinned like a cheshire cat. "Go to Victorian London next." He gave me that "You know something I don't yet. But okay." look. And nodded. "I promise." I waved, and he waved back. The TARDIS wheezed, and all that was left was the wind that carried promise. Hope. That he'd find Clara, and they'd go on their adventure together, like it should be. I smiled and walked into my house.
