Chapter 4

Not many people showed up, only some of Savannah's coworkers and a few of the nurses and some of Gram's friends from the nursing home. Savannah didn't have any friends and all of her relatives were either dead or from her dad's side of the family. None of them really cared enough to be there for her.

After the service, people slowly started to leave, hugging Savannah goodbye and telling her to let them know if she needed anything. Jordan gave her two weeks off of work to get things settled and get back on her feet; she appreciated more than anyone would know. Since Gram's death, she hadn't heard from The Master, not that she expected to after how she had left. He had plans, and he could always find someone better to travel with if he really wanted to.

Once everyone had left, Savannah said one last goodbye and put a bouquet of flowers on Gram's fresh grave. As she stood up, she looked to her right; standing there, in front of his black police box was The Master. Savannah's lip trembled as she walked over to him. Not saying anything, he opened his arms and wrapped her into a hug. She encircled her arms around his waist and let the tears and frustration of the last few days come pouring out. As she cried in his arms, he kissed the top of her head and ran his hands up and down her back soothingly. After a few minutes Savannah slowly removed herself from The Master's grasp.

"I'm sorry about that." She said wiping tears off of her cheeks

"You have nothing to be sorry for at all." He said calmly. She smiled up at him

"What are you doing here?" She asked crossing her arms

"I wanted to see you one last time before I left." He said putting his hands inside the pockets of his new leather jacket. Savannah took his new wardrobe change in, he was wearing black denim jeans with a navy jumper and in addition to the black leather jacket, he was also wearing black leather boots. He looked 1,000 times better now that he was out of the ripped jeans and hoodie he had previously been wearing.

"So you're going to find The Doctor?" She asked biting her lip, he smiled sadly

"Yeah, I have to find him." Savannah nodded

"Yeah of course, you should do what you set out to do." She smiled weakly

"Do you need anything before I go?" He asked, she shook her head

"Nah I'm good. Go do your time guy thing." She laughed, he joined in

"It's timelord, not time guy." He sighed as he opened the door to the TARDIS. She stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say

"I'll never forget you Savannah." He said as he hugged her one last time, as he let go of her he kissed her forehead.

"Bye." She said taking a step back as he walked in the TARDIS. Savannah turned to go until she stopped and ran to the TARDIS, throwing open the doors before it took off

"What are you doing? How the hell did you do that?" The Master asked as she ran in

"Does the offer to come with you still stand?" She asked breathless.

"What?"

"Can I come with you? Please?" She asked, afraid of the answer

"Savannah…"

"Master please!" She said walking up to him grabbing his hands; he looked down at the small gesture. He sighed, looking at her

"I've told you once and I'll tell you again, my life, the life of a timelord is not like the stories you've read. This is very dangerous." He said squeezing her hands gently

"It's okay; I can take care of myself." She said standing on her tip toes smiling at him as she bit her lip, he sighed smirking

"Okay, let's go." He said as he started setting the coordinates

"Master?"

"What?" He asked looking up from the console

"I don't know if you've noticed but I'm wearing a dress." She said spinning around in front of him

"Yeah I noticed, you look stunning. I don't see the problem though?" He said taking her in and smiling

"Can I go home and change? Get a bag of clothes and other things too?" She asked, looking at him sweetly

"As you wish." He nodded, watching her out of the corner of his eye.

After Savannah unlocked the front door to her house, she kicked off her heels and headed to her room to pack. While The Master waited for her to finish packing, he looked around the living room, a framed picture on the mantel of the fireplace caught his attention. It was a picture of Savannah, she was wearing a graduation cap and smiling, on each side of her was a man and a woman

'They must be her parents.' He thought

"Hey." The Master turned around to see Savannah still in her dress

"I thought you were changing?"

"I am, but I can't reach the zipper, can you get it?" She asked as she turned around and held her hair up. He walked up behind her and slowly pulled the zipper down revealing her bare back. The Master sucked in a breath as she turned to smile at him as she held up her dress.

"Thanks. I'll be right back and then we can get going." She walked away, closing her bedroom door. The Master sat down on the couch to wait, putting his face in his hands hoping he was making the right decision as to bringing her along.

Five minutes later Savannah walked out of her bedroom with a duffle bag wearing a navy blue cardigan with a black lace camisole underneath along with blue denim jeans and black converse trainers.

"Ready!" She exclaimed holding her bag in her hands

"Here, let me take it." He said reaching for the bag

"Are you sure? I can carry it." She said

"Yes I'm sure, hand it over." He said holding his hand out waiting for the bag

"Okay…" She said handing the bag over

"Did you pack enough stuff?" He asked once he had the heavy duffle in his left hand

"What? I don't know how long it's going to take to find The Doctor!" She shrugged. He chuckled at her as he put his hand on the small of her back as the pair walked out to the front door. As they walked to the TARDIS across the street, he held his hand out to her and she took it as she smiled up at him.
