Thanks so so much for read my story and leaving reviews.
This is an original chapter. Sorry it's kind of short. Hope you like it!
Harper's POV
The Doctor, Rose, and I were running. No surprise there. We had been exploring what the Doctor thought was a deserted planet when out of nowhere these weird looking aliens appeared.
They looked almost human, or Time Lord as the Doctor would say, but had four eyes and twelve fingers.
"Why are they chasing us," Rose asked panting heavily.
"A couple years ago I saved their enemy from them and they got mad," the Doctor explained. "I have been avoiding them ever since."
"Well, of course we had to run into them," I said sarcastically.
Suddenly more of the aliens were in front of us and we were surrounded. The Doctor pulled both Rose and I behind him trying his best to protect us.
"You, Doctor, are an enemy, and now you shall be punished."
I could tell the Doctor's mind was spinning. We were so close to the TARDIS but would we make it?
"You will be sentenced to 10,000 years on a primitive planet. Where you will suffer for what you did to us."
"Okay,"
"NO," both Rose and I said.
"BUT I need to take these girls to a safe place first," the Doctor continued.
"Unacceptable. You will go into the prison capsule now."
After the alien said this, a large medal capsule was brought into the circle behind us. The alien leader then got a nasty looking smile on his face and said, "or one of your two women could volunteer."
"Not going to happen," the Doctor growled out. "Now I agreed to your terms but I have to get them home first!"
I could not let this happen, so I did the only thing I could do. I slowly started to back away from the Doctor and Rose making my way to the capsule.
When I was far enough away from them where they would not notice, I turned and walked quickly to it. I did not want to get scared and back out. I entered the capsule and the door slammed shut locking behind me.
I watched as the Doctor and Rose turned and looked at me with wide eyes. I straightened my back, held me head high, and said with as much authority as I could, "I volunteer to take the punishment for the Doctor's crime."
Rose gasped and the Doctor yelled, "NO! She can't, no take me. She doesn't know what she's doing. Take me!"
The aliens laugh and said, "This is even better. You will now suffer more than before. Good bye Doctor, this will be the last time you ever see us."
The Doctor ran over to the Capsule and tried to sonic it open with not luck. He put his hands on the glass and I put mine over his. I did not let one tear fall while I looked at him, but he had tears streaming down his face.
'Why? Why did you do it?'
I gave him a sad smile, 'I had to save my Doctor.'
'I will save you, Harper. I promise. I will save you.'
I smiled once again, and then felt the capsule start to move. The aliens had started to go back to their ship and were take the capsule with them.
I took one last look at the Doctor and was about to lose it so I turned my back. I was able to hold it together until I was inside the ship.
I broke down then, falling to the ground sobbing. The capsule door was opened and one of the aliens grabbed my arm pulling me up and out. The leader came up to me and slapped a device around my wrist.
"W... what... what is that? I was finally able to ask.
"This will keep you from communicating with the Doctor telepathy. You are sentenced to the primitive planet of Earth for 10,000 years."
They put another device on my other wrist. I knew it was Vortex Manipulator, but asked anyways. "Is that a Vortex Manipulator?"
"It is. But don't get any wise ideas; we have programmed it to short out after one trip. Good luck," he said sarcastically with an evil smile.
"Wait..." I yelled but was to late. He pushed the button and I was transported away.
The Doctor's POV
She was gone. Harper. What was I going to do now? When she turned her back I felt like my hearts broke into millions of pieces and fell onto me knees
I am not sure how long I stayed there like that. It could have been seconds or days, but Rose came over to me and tried to pull me up.
"Come on Doctor. You can't do anything for out here."
I agreed with her and shot up, "your right. Come on Rose."
I grabbed her hand pulling her to the TARDIS.
"What are you going to do? There is no way you will find Harper."
Why was she so against me trying to find Harper?
"Don't say that, I won't... no I can't give up on Harper."
I was running around the console trying to figure out away to find her when the TARDIS started to shake.
"What's going on?" Rose yelled over to me.
"HA! I think the TARDIS is going to find her little human." I said with a smile.
'We're coming for you, Harper!'
Right when we had landed I ran out the door with Rose yelling for my to wait on her.
"Are we in New York?" Rose asked coming up to me.
"Yes."
"Great!" She said sarcastically. "Because it's going to be so easy to find her in this city!"
"Oh stop your complaining."
We had searched for hours and no luck. Rose kept complaining so we were heading back to the TARDIS for a break when someone ran straight into me.
"Sorry!" She called over her shoulder.
"Harper?" I said, "HARPER!" It was her, my Harper!
"Can't stop right now," she yelled again running towards the TARDIS.
I grabbed Rose's hand running after her only stopping when I saw her enter the TARDIS.
'I finally found you!' I thought with joy.
Harper's POV
I landed stumbling and falling into the dirt. I sat up coughing and looked around. I was somewhere in the field, who knows what time period, and from the looks of it there was a town in the distance.
I stood up and started to brush off my clothes when I heard when I heard a horse behind me.
I screamed and turned, falling down once again.
"You are right there ma'am?" A gentlemen on a horse asked when he stopped next to me.
"Just peachy!" I said standing up again, "do you know what year it is?"
He looked at me oddly and said, "yes."
I gave a sigh and gave him a look. "You just asked if I knew what year it was and I do, but is 1820."
"1820? As in no electricity, women still wear dresses, and... and... ugh it had to be this far back!" I said throwing my head back in disappear.
"Ma'am do I need to get you to the doc's? He comes through town about every two months but I can see what I can do."
"HA!" I laughed at how much I need the Doctor! "No I'm fine thanks anyways. By the way I am Harper, and you are?"
I held my hand out to him and he took it giving it a shack saying, "Sam."
"Well Sammy my boy, can you help a girl into town?"
He once again looked at me funny but help me get on the horse and off we went.
635 years, 231,593 days, 333,493,920 minutes. That how long I had been waiting for the Doctor.
It took me about 20 years of looking the exact same to realize that I was not going to age ever and I found out after 80 years I was not going to died. So I would move to a different city ever 10 years. Some times I would not even stay that long, but I would never stay in one place over 10 years.
I now am living in New York, for about the 12 time, working in a flower shop just waiting for the day the Doctor will came and find me.
I had taken a trick from the great Sherlock Holmes and become friends with many of the homeless that lived in the city, telling them all the keep an eye out for a blue police box, but none more than my little friend Timmy.
He was only ten years old and my heart went out to him. So I would help him with food, clothing, and education, while he would be on the look out for the box.
I was walking to work one morning when he came running up to me.
"Whoa there buddy. What's the rush?"
"Blue police box... by the Alice statute."
I took off running yelling over my shoulder, "you are fantastic, Timmy!"
I ran faster than I think I ever had. I was breathing heavily and my legs were like lead, but I could not stop.
Could it be? Could it be him? My Doctor.
As I ran down the path in Central Park I bumped into someone, but did not stop just yelled "sorry!"
I heard someone yell my name, but I just yelled, "Can't stop right now."
When I turned the corner I saw it! The TARDIS. I stopped for just a second before going up to it.
I pull my key out and unlocked the door. It looked just the same as it did when I left.
"DOCTOR! ROSE! I yelled but got no response.
'Sexy!'
'My little human! The thief and flower are out looking for you!'
'Thanks, Sexy!'
I walked out of the TARDIS and saw them. Rose and my Doctor.
The Doctor broke into the biggest smile when he saw me and started to run over to me. I smiled right back before running to him.
We meet in the middle and he pulled me into a giant hug spinning me around.
Once he had put me back down I turned and hugged Rose. She gave me a light hug, at which normally I would have questioned, but I was just so happy nothing was going to get me down.
"Man I am so glad to see you two," I said giving both of them another hug.
The Doctor was about to say something when we heard, "Ms. Harper."
I turned and saw Timmy running up to us.
"Timmy! Come here I want to you meet someone." I pulled him over to us and put me arm around his shoulder, "Timmy this is the Doctor and Rose. The ones I told you about. Guys, this is Timmy. He was my look out for the TARDIS."
"Well, Timmy its very nice to meet you, and thanks for taking care of my girl here," the Doctor shook Timmy hand. "But we really must getting going."
"Right!" I turned to Timmy and bent down to his level, "listen Timmy. I want you to have this." I pulled my apartment key out.
"Your key to your apartment?"
"Yeah, but not only that my apartment too. I have enough money in my account to pay for everything for the next... ooh... the rest of your life. It all comes out automatically so don't worry about it. Now for food, I put you on my account so get what you need. But don't go to crazy that's got to last you until you find a job."
"Ms. Harp..."
"No I am not done," I interrupted him. "School! Keep it up. You can do it, I believe in you! Good luck, Timmy. Have a fantastic life and be good."
I gave him a hug and walked up to the Doctor.
"But where are you going?"
"Anywhere and everywhere!"
The Doctor smiled at me and we all went into the TARDIS.
The Doctor's POV
Rose had left to her room and I was working on getting the device off Harper's wrist.
We both stayed quiet, neither wanting to make the first move.
"So how long has it been?" She asked.
"About an hour and a half. Why did you do it?" I finally got the device off.
"I… I… why…"
"Why!" I yelled jumping up. "What would have happened if I had not found you? Umm? I just can't believe how stupid you were."
"Stupid? Stupid?" Harper was standing up and looked anger. "I did it for you. And as to what would have happen, well… I would have kept living. Year, after year, after blood freaking year. So who are you to yell at me?"
I sighed, "Harper listen…"
"NO! You listen, I did what I thought was right. Stupid or not you have no right to yell at me. Good night." She stormed out of the room living me felling guilty and alone.
Harper's POV
Once I got to my room I broke down crying. I have not seen him in so long and he just yelled at me. I was sitting on my bed cry when I heard a knock on my door, but said nothing.
'Harper, can I come in?'
'NO! Go away.'
The Doctor ignored me and opened my door. He took one look at me and said "Oh, Harper." He came over to me, sat down, and pulled me into a hug. I started to sob then putting her head on my shoulder getting it wet.
"I'm sorry I yelled. It wasn't right. Can you every forgive me?"
"I could never not forgive you," I said. It was kind of mumbled because I had my face in his shoulder.
"How long… how long were you gone, Harper?"
"635 years."
He pulled back and stared look at me, "did you say years?"
"Yeah," I gave the Doctor a sad smile.
"I am so so sorry," he put a hand on my cheek.
"You do like to blame your self don't you? I knew what I was doing when I get into the capsule all those years ago. Granted I didn't realize I would love this long, but you know who's complaining?"
"You are amazing, you know that? Just amazing!" The Doctor pulled me into another hug. "What would I do with out you?"
"Be lost, crash the TARDIS, locked up somewhere, the possibilities are endless," I said with a laugh.
"Oh, stop it," he was laughing also.
"Well you… never mind," I said pulling away.
"What is it?"
"Well you stay until I fall asleep?"
"Of course," He said with a smile. The Doctor pulled off my shoes, jacket, and tie lying down beside me.
We were both on own sides face each other. I reached up and started running my hand through the Doctor's hair. He closed my eyes and let out a sigh.
"I'm really glad you found me."
"I am too. Although," he put my arm around me pulling me closer to him, "I would have never stopped looking for you, so it was bound to happen one day."
I smiled at him and the Doctor smiled right back.
The TARDIS' POV
I watched as my thief and little human lay next to one another. I felt happiness knowing their future together. Soon, without either planning it, they both fell asleep with a smile on their face.
Thanks once again for reading my story. I will try and update as soon as I can. Until next time my Whovians…Geronimo!
