Chapter Six
The Revelation
The Doctor spun around and said, "Who are you?"
The thing began to talk with a bad accent, "Sand Person."
"So he is a sand person?" asked Hannah.
"Yes but I don't see how." Came his reply. "Who led you to this planet Sand Person. Was it he? Was it, the Sand Man?"
"How do you know my master's name?"
"Because I am the one who brought the downfall of his mighty empire. I am The Doctor."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…" shouted the sand person, and disappeared in a blue flash.
"What was that?" asked Hannah after a few minutes.
"Teleport," answered Doctor. "Hannah, I need to tell you something important. When I've dealt with this, you must come with me, or you will die. In a few days time this vessel will hit an iceberg, and the entire ship will come crashing down, with you in it.
"Doctor, first of all, how am I supposed to believe that? And second, we have enough emergency escape rafts."
" Hannah, I've been to the future, and I know for a fact you are not one of the survivors."
"Please Doctor. Tell me one thing. Who are you?"
" I am a time Lord."
"Doctor if you won't tell me any more, I'd better be off. So had you. Dinner is in ten minutes. We have famous French chef board. I trust you like French food? And REAL Champagne?"
"I once went to France on holiday. Pity I found a one eyed green alien with twelve separate lives trying to kill me in many horrific ways."
"No aliens here. Except you and the Sand Person."
"I wouldn't be so sure it's not the sand people."
