A/N: Hi everyone. We are so sorry for this wait! Life has a habit of throwing things at you. Remember my co-writer is still in college and working. It can be hard for me to catch her and even then, she needs to be in the mood for this certain story. My computer holds our chapters but I got my first place in March and can't afford internet yet (I am surprised my hotspot is working right now for this). I wanted to update you guys that we are here but we are so far behind.
The Master opened the door and Rose gasped. "It is so beautiful!"
The Master chuckled. "This is Ophelia's Meadow. The planet is Raclillon."
"So why did we land in Ophelia's Meadow?"
The Master spread his arm out and did a circle. "The peace and beauty"
Rose crossed her arms. "The Tardis refused to land anywhere else didn't she"
The Master grabbed Rose's hand and led her to the middle. "The old fairy tale was about a goddess named Ophelia. She saw beauty in everything, even things and people that were rotting. Raclillon is where all the trash in this dimension ends up. The people here felt isolated from everyone else because no one wanted to see the trash."
"So they created this meadow?"
The Master nodded. "They spent years trying and they finally achieved this. Now, they hold festivals, weddings, and a place where people can just get away."
Rose started to look around when everything started to spin. The Master grabbed her arm as she swayed. "Are you okay, Rose?"
Rose looked at him as her eyes glowed for a second. She let out a breath and her eyes turned back to normal. "I...I think so"
"Welcome dear travelers." A woman's voice spoke.
They both turned to see a woman with long golden hair and a glow around her. "I am pleased to finally meet you Wolf. I have been waiting for you to come"

Martha and The Doctor walked out of The Tardis. "Where are we?" Martha asked with excitement.
The Doctor felt a rush. "Ah, smell that Atlantic breeze. Nice and cold. Lovely. Martha, have you met my friend?"
They both looked up and Martha gasped. "Is that? Oh, my God. That's the Statue of Liberty."
The Doctor looked in admiration. "Gateway to the New World. Give me you tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free." He mumbled. A pink and yellow human flashed through his mind. He knew she would have loved this.
"That's so brilliant. I've always wanted to go to New York. I mean the real New York, not the new, new, new, new, new one." Martha spoke up.
The Doctor turned. "Well, there's the genuine article. So good, they named it twice. Mind you, it was New Amsterdam originally. Harder to say twice. No wonder it didn't catch on. New Amsterdam, New Amsterdam."
Martha turned to move beside him. "I wonder what year it is, because look, the Empire State Building's not even finished yet" She said while pointing to the building.
"Work in progress. Still got a couple floors to go, and if I know my history, that makes the date somewhere around-"
"November first 1930." Martha interrupted.

The Master moved in front of Rose. "Racilillon's are peaceful people and I have never heard of them glowing. Who are you?"
The woman smiled. "I am sorry if my hologram form displeases you."
They watched as she was covered in a glow then it vanished to show a woman in a vintage dress and pearl necklaces, remained. "I am Ophelia or as most know me now, Angel. I have been waiting for The Wolf to come for her training."
"You are the goddess for this meadow?" Rose asked.
Ophelia smiled. "Yes. I visit here from time to time. Racilillon loved that someone took the time to visit and love their home. I let them create this meadow. Now, about you wolf. I have been waiting for you to come and learn your powers. I have requested help from some others."
"What are you talking about?" The Master asked.
"The Wolf is alive and is ready to be one with you Miss Rose. If you don't let her grow, you and your child will be at risk. Let us guide you."
Rose laid her hand on The Master's shoulder and nodded. The Master moved beside her. "Who is this help you are asking to appear?"
Four glowing shapes appeared. The glows stopped and four women remained. "This is Apella, Ina, Riti, and Furra" Ophelia told them.
Apella bowed. "I am Goddess of animals. I will help if you have a wolf form and contain the wolf in your mind"
Riti bowed next. "I am Goddess of Wisdom. I will be able to figure out the best ways to train your mind."
Ina walked up to her and laid her hand on Rose's stomach. "I am goddess of Birth. I have blessed your child and I will make sure everything goes smoothly when you have her."
"I am Goddess of Protection. I will keep the powers from reaching outside the meadow. I am also going to make you a necklace that will keep you protected or anyone that you let borrow it" Furra finished.
Ophelia nodded to Ina. "Thank you Ina for the blessing"
Ina bowed and vanished. "Ina will keep an eye on you but she won't need to be here to train you" Apella explained.

Tallulah followed behind and looked around. "When you say, they've taken her, who's they exactly?...And who are you anyway? I never asked."
The Doctor heared a noise. "Shush"
Tallulah glared. "Okay, okay."
The Doctor kept shushing her. He saw a dalek started coming around. "I mean you're handsome and all" Tallulah murmured.
The Doctor quickly covered her mouth and pulled her back. They watched as a dalek passed them. The Doctor took his hand back and stepped out. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They survived. They always survive while I lose everything." He remarked.
He could see the white walls and Rose falling for a split second. "That metal thing? What was it?" Tallulah broke in.
"It's called a Dalek. And it's not just metal, it's alive." The Doctor seethed.
"You're kidding me."
"Does it look like I'm kidding? Inside that shell is a creature born to hate, whose only thought is to destroy everything and everyone that isn't a Dalek too. It won't stop until it's killed every human being alive" The Doctor yelled.

The Master didn't know what to think about these women. They seemed off for some reason. Apella patted his hand. "I promise we won't hurt her. We want to help"
"Who are you people?"
"We are Shifter Goddesses. We guide the Shifters and any others that need our help" Apella explained.
Riti looked at Rose. "See if you can talk to the wolf"
"How...How do I do that?" Rose asked.
Ophelia took Rose's hand. "Sit down and sit like if you were going to meditate."
Rose and Ophelia both sat down. They crossed their legs. Apella walked over and sat next to Rose. "Can you see your wolf, Rose?" Apella asked.
The Master walked over and sat down. Rose looked at him and he sighed. "They are ignoring me basically but they don't seem dangerous."
Furra smirked. "We are the good ones. Ophelia hand picked us because anyone else might have killed ya"
Apella shushed them and looked at Rose. "I don't understand what you mean" Rose told her.
"Don't worry, this is why we are here. Your wolf is trying to become one with you. Since you started human, you need to let your wolf in. Close your eyes and see if you see her" Apella explained.
Rose closed her eyes. She waited a second then saw a golden light and a wolf appeared. "I see her"
The wolf leaned back and howled. "Do you understand her, Rose?" Apella whispered.
Rose turned to see Apella next to her. "Where are we?"
"We are in your mind. We can see where the wolf has stayed hidden. Do you want to speak with her?"
Rose nodded and turned back to the wolf. The wolf howled again and then quickly changed into a woman. The woman wore torn leggings, a skirt, and a torn jacket. Her hair was wild and she looked exactly like Rose.
"I am the Bad Wolf, your wolf" She spoke.
"She looks exactly like me" Rose pointed out.
"She is you Rose. The wolf...Excuse me, Bad wolf, is you." Apella tried to explain.
Bad Wolf walked towards her. "You are my Rose. I chose you because we had the same ambition, to protect our Doctor. You had the strength and passion. I will protect you and our little Gallifreya."
"Thank you Bad Wolf. I will do anything to keep us both safe and I will work hard to get back to our Doctor."
Rose grabbed her head. Apella touched her shoulder. "You have my strength, Rose. Telepathy is difficult to get used to"
"The Doctor trained me some but not enough to be strong yet"
Bad Wolf laid her hand out. "Let me join your mind Rose. We will take the next journey together."
Rose quickly grabbed Bad Wolf's hand and suddenly felt like she was floating. Bad Wolf glowed and turned back into the wolf. Rose watched as a wall rose. Apella grinned. "You two are now one in the mind. Bad Wolf is setting up your mental shields."
"So everything is good?"
Apella smiled sadly. "You still have a long journey Rose. Bad Wolf can help in the mind but you must work to be one outside to. You two are one body. You will learn of her powers, strengths, and weaknesses. Remember you still have Gallifreya to think about so don't over work yourself."
Both Apella and Rose opened their eyes. Apella quickly started passing her strength. Ophelia looked to the sky. "Today is a beautiful day. You have made a step closer to your dream, Rose."
Everyone stood up. Apella hugged Rose. "Just call me if you ever need me. I am only a name away"
Rose hugged back. "I will"
Furra glared and pulled her sword out. "Get them out of here, I sense Avians!"
The Master grabbed Rose's hand. They ran for the Tardis. The heard a scream and watched as Riti flew back. Rose gasped before The Master pulled her into the Tardis.
"Wait, they may need help!" Rose pleaded.
The Master looked at her and groaned. "I hate when you are right!" He yelled.
He started to open the door when Apella instantly appeared. "Don't fret. Furra has called her sister so the Avians have no chance. Riti was thrown because she was distracting them from you two."
The Master turned angry. "What are you and how did you just pop in here?!"
Apella put her hands on her hips and looked at Rose. "Thank the shifter goddesses you are having a girl. Boys just don't know how to listen"
Rose giggled. "I am the shifter goddess of animals. All goddesses can teleport." Apella reminded him.
Apella snapped her fingers and a necklace appeared. "This is a special wolf necklace. I have put a spell on it. If you hold on to it, I will come at the thought of my name. You are a very special girl and I feel a bond with you. Furra has also put her protection spell on it. Nothing can hurt you when you wear that necklace."
Rose took the necklace and put it on. Apella faced the Master. "Help her let Bad Wolf out."
Before the Master could answer, Apella vanished. The Master ran up the grating. "Well Miss Rose, where should we visit to train?"
"Can I actually sleep a little bit? That was a lot to take in"
The Master nodded. "Go lay down and I will bring you a warm cup of tea."
Rose hugged him. "Thank you"
The Master watched as Rose left the room. He pulled the monitor to him. "Let's figure out what these shifter goddesses are"

The Doctor and Martha watched as the creature stepped out of the dalek. The creature took a breath. "I am a human Dalek. I am your future"
