"Who exactly art thou?" the former queen demanded.
"The Doctor."
Jane was clearly not satisfied with his cryptic answer.
"Why art thou here? What do thou want?"
"I'm a time traveler and that's what I do. I travel. Sometimes I save people, planets but that's because there are always aliens involved; not now, however...this is just...history..."
Jane was confused.
"Aliens as in the French?"
The Doctor rolled his eyes.
"But of course you, the English, must always blame the French! I meant aliens as in outer-space
aliens!"
Jane looked at him incredulously. Noticing her expression, the Doctor responded baffled.
"So you have no problem accepting the existence of time travel, but you can't believe in creatures from another worlds?"
"There are many stories that say that both angels and demons can move through time doing God's or the Devil's work. But it is common knowledge that this world is the only world in God's creation."
"Oh, really? Is that what your religion tells you?"
"Yes, sir, and if thou dare to contradict me thou are either a foul or a heretic!"
"I can prove I'm right. Can you?"
"Thou must have faith!"
"Come with me and I will show you aliens and different worlds and the stars up above!" said the Doctor excited, moving frantically around the console, pushing a few buttons."Or" he retorted slowing down and speaking more calmly, "You can just go back to your cell."
The doors opened and Jane could see the gray walls and smell the scent of old carpets and ivy. A whole war was raging inside of her. As she walked towards the exit she thought about whether she should do the smart and obedient thing and return to the Tower or fall for something as obvious as a trap; But then again, if she was going to die, she sure as hell was not going to waste that opportunity to delay the inevitable, especially with the secret she carried. Jane turned around suddenly.
"No! I mean ….yes! Yes , I'll go with you! I'm not ready to die!"
The doctor smiled, like he always knew that she will accept the invitation. Almost everyone, sooner or later, accepts it. And almost always they end up bad... but that was a problem for another day.
I'm sorry this is so short but I started some other projects and since English is not my native language, it is rather difficult for me to write in great quantities... However, I thank you very much for keeping an interest in this story and I very much appreciate hearing from you whenever you feel like dropping a review :D
