Chapter 2

Lori groaned softly as she sat up rubbing her head and looked around tears springing into her eyes. The four walls of a Torchwood cell were what greeted her and she tried to go for her knife but it was gone. Just as it had been the first time, she had woken up in one of these places.

"Damn it…damn them…" She sobbed softly curling up on the bed "Mother…I'm sorry."

She shivered in fear as she started to sing softly trying to calm herself not wanting them to see her afraid. It was the song she had heard since she was child but it was not in any language that they would know. Tears slid from her eyes as she closed them her mind going back to her family the love and wonder she'd felt before it had all been ripped from her.

"Hmm…she doesn't seem so dangerous now," The doctor said as he and Jack watched the monitor "She seems rather…sad."

"Yeah…if I hadn't seen it…I'd never believe she could try to kill anyone," He said with a shrug "But the most dangerous things can appear harmless."

The doctor nodded not really sure what it would mean as the door behind them opened, he turned around smiling when a young man walked in wearing a suit.

"Ianto" Jack exclaimed running to him "Oh gods are you alright."

The doctor chuckled as Jack and the man named Ianto talked and gave them privacy when Jack embraced him. It did not seem like the Jack he remembered but it was nice to see him ready to settle down, to know what is important. He had waited far too long to know what had been important and now all of it was gone.

"Oh uh…doc" Jack turned around not wanting to end his kiss "I…uh…I've got some important work to do…if you wanna interrogate the girl…you know where the cells are…be careful".

"Sure Jack…work," He said with a laugh and winked at him "You two have fun then…"

He walked out of the room certain that this Ianto person was the reason he had stayed behind for. It made him sad that even Jack had someone while he had to be alone but that was the way it had to be. If he took someone else, they would end up getting hurt.

"Hmm…what's that…?" He stopped hearing the song and looked around "Hmm…that's right…she was singing…sounds much different in person".

He followed the song admiring her lovely voice but the language was foreign to him completely, that struck him as odd the TARDIS should have translated it for him. He shrugged it off and followed the song to the girl's cell.

She stopped singing as soon as the door opened and looked up seeing the man from earlier. Without hesitating, she crawled back against the wall hugging her legs to her chest.

"Wh-what do you want" She asked softly "I-If you've come to punish me…I…I was not going to hurt you".

"I know," He said walking over to a chair "I've come to talk to you…I'm the Doctor…and you must be Lorianna".

"It's Lori now" She said softly "Lorianna…is a name that doesn't belong in this time".

"Really…and why's that" He asked.

She stayed silent her secrets were her own especially considering she would always be watched by Torchwood. The doctor seemed to come to a decision and stood up going to one of the cameras with a soft smile.

"Sorry Jack…I won't destroy it…but…things humans shouldn't know," He said taking out his screwdriver "You know how it is…"

She watched him as he flitted across the room shutting off each camera and recording device they would reactivate when he left. Turning to face her, he pocketed his screwdriver and smiled at her before sitting back down.

"Alright…we're alone…I won't tell Jack or Torchwood anything" He said "You can trust me…I've helped plenty of aliens return home".

"I told you I'm from Earth" She said shaking her head "Why does your kind assume anything sentient that isn't human is from another planet."

"My kind…oh no…I'm nothing like those apes out there" He said with a smile "What I am…well…that's not important…"

She looked at him and shrugged she did not care what he was, right now he was on the side of the people who would hurt her. With a light sigh, she looked up at the ceiling forcing the tears back at the thought of being trapped.

"What was that song you were singing?" He asked "I've never heard that language before…and apparently neither has the TARDIS".

"A lullaby…the language…you're people…I mean the humans…called it elvish but that was before…" She shook her head "It is Melkin…that is the language not my people…the language of all things on this earth and true names…"

"That's impossible," He said "nothing has true names…they're old legends…I should know…I've seen your planet from start to finish".

"Just because you did not see…does not mean we were not there," She said with a light smile "We have been here since time began…we were watchers…guardians…always living in legends."

He was listening intently if she was right he had missed a crucial element on earth something that did not need to interact with humans.

"The song was taught to me by my mother…" She said softly "It was her death song…I didn't understand when she told me…until they killed her…you probably think I'm lying…"

"What makes you think that" He asked softly "I've seen a lot…"

"They don't believe that I'm from earth" She said softly "Not even the one out of his time…"

"Oh you can tell that" He asked.

"We can tell…my kind knows who belongs in this world," She said softly "And those who don't…not species…I know you are out of your time as well."

"More than out of my time…" He said under his breath.

"Doctor…how long…" She asked softly.

He looked up at her confused for a second not sure what to say but he waited for a moment wanting to know what she was asking.

"How long will I be trapped here…how much longer must I be Torchwood's prisoner?" She asked softly.

"Sorry…I don't know," He answered, "How long you have been in their custody."

"Let's see…according to the minds of those soldiers…It is 2011" She said softly "181 years…"

He stood up looked at her shock apparent on his face before shaking his head. ~This isn't right~ He thought to himself ~nothing on earth can live that long…and not age.~ She let out a soft laugh as if reading his thoughts but shook her head smiling warmly.

"I know…" She said softly "You don't understand…or believe it."

"After Jack I believe it" He said "I just don't understand…I've been everywhere on your rock…and seen everything humans have to offer….but I've never met you…or any of your kind…if Melkin is the language…what are you called".

"I am afraid I have said far too much doctor" She said softly "You know that don't you…but…something…tells me to trust you…that you know what I am going through…"

"What would that be then" He asked.

"To be the last of my race" She added "I am sorry…doctor could we end this…I'm rather tired".

He had fallen silent and nodded standing up looking at her this was not right the last of her kind. There was something completely off about this entire situation and he was going to get to the bottom of it. He looked at her and gave her a sad smile as the cell doors opened.

"Torchwood killed the others…my family," She said softly as she laid down "The torchwood that imprisoned me at Canary Wharf."

He had stopped for a moment but stepped out of the cell not wanting her to see the look in his eyes. Jack was walking up and met his eyes before looking away he knew when to recognize the undying storm. Especially when it was about to blow up in his face as he knew it was apt to do.

"Jack…I want all of the files" He said the threat in his voice apparent "And let that girl go."

"Doc I can't let her go…she's a threat" He said "I'll get you her files…they'll show you why".

"JACK" He practically shouted pushing him back "She's not dangerous let her go…she was terrified…"

"No…doc" Jack said "I'm in command here…she tried to kill six people…we can't risk it".

The doctor growled but let Jack go and walked away from him he had to get Lori out of here. She did not belong in a cell she was the last of a race that did not deserve to be lost as legends. Jack just looked at him dumfounded before remembering why he came down here.

"Hey doc…"

"They're working" The doctor interrupted as he walked out of sight, "I just stopped them while I was in there."

The chapter kind of got away from me and I'm not too sure how well it turned out...so uhm...if you like it...tell me if not...well tell me how I can improve on it...pwease *puppy dog eyes*
