We continued to browse, and we passed several more coffee mugs before I went into an antiques shop, while the Doctor went into a car show. It had time machines and spaceships instead of cars, though. I looked at several jeweled plates, before I saw a beautiful necklace. It had a gold chain with a pendant hanging from it. The pendant had frilly, lacy edges, and in the center was a fiery opal. Around the opal were several tiny diamonds. On the back, in spidery handwriting, were the letters ' T.R. ' I held the necklace up to me, and I gasped at how well it went with my fair skin, golden hair, and green eyes. ' It's like it was made for me. ' I thought.

I went up to the register and bought it using the money that the Doctor had given me. The cashier wrapped it in a box, taped it up, and handed it to me, along with my change.

I walked out to go find the Doctor, and I found him waiting for me outside the car show.

" Find anything good? " He asked, nodding his head towards the box.

" I bought this really pretty necklace. " I said, as I scraped off the tape, and held it up so he could see.

" Here, let me help. " He said, as he reached for the clasp, then hooked it around my neck. " There we go! "

BANG!

We heard what sounded like a gun shot.

" What was that? " I asked the Doctor, a little panicked.

" It sounded like a Photon-Z-27 blaster ray. Those are illegal in every high-ranking planet! "

We raced towards a dark alley, where the shot had sounded from.

" Why does it always have to be a creepy alleyway? " I asked the air. " Actually, I rather like it. " said a voice in my head. I ignored it, as the Doctor and I walked over to the body. It looked to be a purple girl of medium height, with bright red hair-crystals. She was oozing black blood from where she was shot, and she was groaning in pain.

" Doctor, we have to help her! " I said, while the voice said," No we don't. She was going to die eventually. "

" You're right. " he said, as he examined her wound. " We can't move her without hurting her more, so I'll go get a doctor. " He ran into the street, while I stayed to comfort her.

" Don't worry. The Doctor is getting someone to help you. It's going to be fine. " I said, as I took her hand. She looked straight into my eyes, and she said a few disturbing words I will never forget.

" You will never be free again. You will always be haunted by what you will do. " I stared at her now cold, lifeless body, wondering what I was going to do. I set her hand down, and stood up, right as the Doctor arrived, with a cat-like nurse.

" She's dead. " I said, in an emotionless voice. The Doctor looked devastated, while the nurse left, saying that she guessed she was no longer needed. I then began to chuckle malevolently, and he looked at me, with the strangest look on his face. It was a mixture of worry, and a look you see on your parent's faces when you scrape your knee, or when you crash a car.

" Talia... What's wrong? " he asked. I tried to tell him that I didn't know, but a voice unlike my own spoke instead.

" Talia is no longer here, Doctor. " It spat. " My name is Zatarra. "
