Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or Doctor who... but i really really really wish i owned Edward and the Doctor... i wouldn't mind some Jasper either lol

14th December 2003 Vampire Bella's POV

After leaving my family I decided to head to England. I figured they had bad weather and it was a change of scenery, I also wouldn't see reminders of Edward everywhere I looked. It felt so wrong doing anything without him, he'd been all I knew for so long, without him I felt lost. I'd found myself a small flat to live in just on the outskirts of London. It wasn't the nicest of areas but it wasn't as if I personally had to worry about being mugged or anything so looking for a nicer neighborhood wasn't really necessary for me, this place was cheap. I'd gotten myself a small job at the local supermarket; staking shelves. I didn't have Cullen money to rely on anymore and I had to pay rent somehow.

I was just finishing the end of my sift, I'd been putting endless tins of Asda smart price baked beans on shelves for about an hour now, not even high school was this dull.

"So Bella, do you fancy meeting up at the pub before work tomorrow, it's curry night at spoons." asked Dave. He was pretty relentless; he always invited me somewhere before our shift was over, he reminded me of Mike Newton in a way. I felt a pain in my chest as I realized I hadn't even met Mike yet. Never before had time moved so slowly for me, every minute felt like hours. It pained me to know my Edward was still alone, I wished I could return to him and keep him company while we waited for everything that was meant to happen, but there was no way I'd be able to go to Forks, not like this at least. I'd just have to continue waiting.

"Sorry Dave I'll be busy all day." I explained as I made my way out back to gather my things from my locker before heading home.

It was cold outside; not that it actually bothered me. The streets were glowing orange from the street lights dotted around. The thing I hated most about London was never being able to see the stars, there was simply too many clouds and the lights of the city were too bright. I was always able to see the stars perfectly in Phoenix and Forks, it had been simply beautiful. I could imagine a 15 year old human version of myself sat on a lounge chair in my mother back garden in Phoenix, gazing at the stars. I always wished I could touch them that life wasn't so plain, I had always longed for something more exciting and out of this world. I would wish every night on the first star I saw that there was more to life than what I could see, I longed for adventures, fairytale princes and happy endings. I never in a million years would of realized any of it was actually possible.

I was brought out of my thoughts by an unusual scent. I was used to the normal smell of the city. It was just humans, pollution, rubbish and a few small animals here and there, which seriously wasn't doing my appetite any good, rats and foxes did not make for tasty meals. But this scent was different. It didn't even smell like anything I was familiar with. I could usually find small thing in a scent that was familiar and I could give a name to, Edward had always told me I smelt of freesias. But this was completely unrecognizable. I decided to let my curiosity get the better of me. The smell was far from pleasant but I felt I had to know what it was.

I rounded the corner into a small alley way. I could hear something breathing.

"What are you?" I asked into the alley way. I heard a low rumbling growl. Suddenly this hideous creature with a large mouth and pointed teeth came barreling towards me. I hadn't seen anything like it before. Its head looked misshapen and it was bald. It had no nose and deep set eyes. It looked like a real monster. I was frozen to the spot. I didn't know what to do. Was this creature a threat to me? I crouched into a defensive position, letting off a growl of my own. The creature slowed and stood opposite me. It stood with a slight hunch, it seemed to be sizing me up, deciding what to do.

I heard a strange whirring noise. It kept getting louder and louder. I'd only heard this sound once before back in 1917. It was when he explained to me what had happened and what I must do. The creature in front of me suddenly looked terrified. The Doctor's blue box materialized behind me. The creature turned and ran away. I was debating whether or not I should chase it when the door to the box opened.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." the Doctor said as he stepped out into the alley. He looked the same as he did last time I'd met him. His dark brown hair was in a weird mess and he had deep brown eyes that had a sadness about them. He was tall and slim and wore a long tan coat and brown suit with a pair or white converse high tops.

"What was it?" I asked.

"It's called a Weevil, nasty creatures. They live in the sewer mainly. I thought Jack and his lot had them under control, going to have to mention this to him eventually I suppose." he looked thoughtful for a minute before he turned to me, a huge smile lighting up his face. "I'm the Doctor and who might you be?" he asked holding out his hand.

"I know who you are." I smiled at him taking his hand.

"Oh right. And how may I ask do you know me?"

"I met you in Chicago in 1917, you told me about the angels."

"You still haven't told me your name by the way and 1917! How the hell did you end up here then?"

"I just lived I guess and I moved here last month."

"From America I assume?" I just nodded in reply. "What I meant is how are you here now, at this time, you don't look a day over 18."

"Well I am and I'm not."

"Ok I can figure this out, you met me in 1917 and you haven't time travelled or anything yet here you are looking like a teenager. You aren't what you seem to be are you? And why have you still not told me your name?"

"It's Bella Cullen and no I'm not what most people think I am. I could just tell you…" I trailed off.

"I know but where's the fun in that?" he shrugged as he began to pace running his hand through his hair. "Are you human?" he asked.

"Nope. Is this going to end up like one of those 20 question toys that guesses what your thinking?"

"Yes, that's exactly what this is!" he grinned. "Oh I do love a good mystery. Your hand was freezing and I'm guessing it's not a circulation problem."

"No circulation problems here."

"I don't hear a heart beat…not one, well that's new."

"You sure you don't just want me to tell you?" I asked again.

"No. Ok what does it start with?"

"V"

"Volvox? Verdin? Viceroy? Verio? Vervet? No wait that's a monkey. Victorini? Ghost of the planet Verdox? Vampire?"

"That's it." I stopped him.

"What? Vampire?"

"Yep that's me." I chuckled nervously.

"But that's the stuff of legends."

"And aliens that travel through time aren't"

"Yeah I guess you've got me there." he replied rubbing his neck. "So how come I've never come across your kind before? What planet do you come from?"

"I'm from Earth. We're all from Earth. We have to keep our existence hidden so most only venture out at night and others try and blend into society the best they can."

"Oh right. So do you get bitten and burn in the sun, you know stake to the heart type of stuff?"

"Yes, we get bitten, no we don't burn in the sun but we still can't go out in it, not near humans anyway, stake to the heart would just break the stake, the only way to kill us is to rip us apart and burn the pieces." I explained.

"Right. So a lot of the stories are a load of rubbish then?"

"Pretty much, yeah" I chuckled.

"I'm not sure I know what to do with you." he said quietly suddenly looking very serious.

"Why?"

"Is it safe to leave you here near these humans? They are what you eat right?"

"Traditionally, yes, vampires drink human blood. However me and my family choose to live off the blood of animals. Let me tell you, that's not much fun living in London."

"So there's more of you?"

"Not here. I had to leave them back in America, they were about to move to a small town called Forks and I couldn't go with them."

"Why not?" he asked.

"The angels." I replied simply. "You told me to just wait it out until it was safe to go to them without crossing my own timeline."

"Yeah you should listen to me, full of knowledge I am."

"Well I assume you've got somewhere important to be, I'll just head off then."

"Oh yeah. I guess I'll see you in 1917, have fun Bella Cullen and be safe."

"You too Doctor." I stood there and watched as the blue box disappeared and I was alone again.

Quite a bit of time had passed while I had been talking to the doctor and the sun was beginning to rise. I made my way back to my small flat to try and find a way to kill time until work the next night.

I settled onto my sofa and decided to see if anything was worth watching at this time in the morning. The answer was usually no but I still gave it a try before giving up and watching a DVD. All I could find was children's TV shows and the news. I headed into my bedroom and decided to watch The Notebook again. I don't know why I continued to torture myself with these romance movies, it just made me think of Edward and how amazing it felt to be near him. I always felt safe and comforted when his arms were wrapped around me, being here without him was the worst kind of hell I could imagine. I felt alone and cold all the time, I was incomplete. I got my laptop out and decided to log into a website called chat roll where I could escape reality and pretend to be someone else. It was the closest thing to friends I could find. They never saw me or asked too many questions so they never had to be suspicious. But it maintained my sanity. For those few hours a day I wasn't alone anymore, I could pretend I still had an amazing boyfriend and a caring family.

At about midday I decided it would be a good time to go to the shops, I didn't really need anything but I had to keep up appearances. People would begin to wonder why I never left the flat otherwise. I ran into my neighbor Louise on the landing. She was trying to drag her stroller up the stairs while yelling at her 4 year old.

"Oh shut up Natalie, you've got beans on toast for dinner and your going to eat it. I can't afford to keep buying you special meals every day."

"But beans are yucky." Natalie whined.

"Well you're eating them or you not getting a bag of quavers." she stated while she was opening her front door. She spotted me as I made my way towards the stairs. "Oh you alright chick?" she asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, how about you? You just finished shopping?" I replied.

"Yep, just got to get it packed away and then give this one a bath." she said while gesturing to her youngest that was sat in the stroller. "You off out?"

"Yeah just got to pick up a few things."

"Well have fun, I'll see you later."

I made my way to the shops pretty slowly. I was just going to go to the news agents and pick up a magazine or 2, they sometimes helped to kill a few minutes. I rounded the corner and found the Doctor stood there leaning against his box.

"Hello again Bella Cullen." he smiled.

"Hi," I replied confused.

"After I left I got to thinking… is there any reason why you're waiting in London?"

"Not really, I just knew they had bad weather and I'd always wanted to see the city, but to be honest after the first week I'd seen it all and now its just a long waiting game."

"How long do you have to wait for?"

"Till about July 2005. Why?"

"Well I was thinking, seeing as you've got nothing better to do for a while maybe you want to do some travelling?"

"With you?"

"With me."

"In that little box?"

"Hey it's not a little box, it's called the TARDIS, its stands for time and relative dimensions in space. And it's not little either."

"Typical male defending the size of his box." I joked.

"Oi, there is nothing wrong with the size of my box, but if you'd rather just wait around in London that's fine with me." he started heading back inside the 'TARDIS' as he'd called it.

"I never said that. I'd love to come." I smiled at him.

"Great." he smiled back holding the door open to me. I hadn't expected what I'd found inside at all. On the outside the TARDIS appeared small like it could hold no more than 6 people, however inside was enormous. I ran back outside.

"Oh god not again," the Doctor sighed "Yes its bigger on the inside, now are you ready to go or what?"

"I'm ready." I stated firmly as I walked back through the door.

A/N: well there it is... Bella met the Doctor... I hope I did alright :s Erm in case you want to know Asda is a supermarket like Wal-mart and smart price is the name for its own cheap brand of stuff and spoons is short for whetherspoons which is a chain of pubs in the UK that sells food and shiz. I really do hope you liked this chapter lol and sorry for any mistakes or typos!
