I ripped myself from River and looked her dead in the eye. Her looks were puzzled but she couldn't unravel why I was looking at her in the way that I was. I looked at the Doctor but kept the secret to myself, not time yet, I thought. I forgotten where we were; but soon remembered when Ned grabbed me in a tight grip on my arm.
"What do you want?" I scarcely asked.
"The truth!" Ned growled, "Who are you?"
"A traveller, and no more than that." I calmly replied.
"From where?"
"A world you cannot know," I looked down and turned away.
"What do you know of me then?" Ned quietly whispered.
"We all die at some point, but you will be remembered." I looked into his eyes, "This is all I can tell you, please remember it well." I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, and continued to the TARDIS.
…
I was in Jonathan's arms, as the Doctor walked into the control room. I couldn't divulge what I had learned to him; that was up to River.
"Will you look after him for me?" I asked a puzzled Doctor.
"Why?" he asked, "Where are you going?"
"Nowhere," I smiled, lying, planning, and walked down the corridor to find River. I found her sobbing in the living room, looking at an old photograph of a child.
"What is the matter?" I asked putting a hand on her back.
"I lost someone a long time ago," she cried, "and I have always wondered how she faired after lying to the Doctor."
"What did you do?" I innocently asked, but nothing needed to be said to me I knew the truth.
"I gave away our daughter," she smiled, "I swapped her with another child, and silenced the doctors who I dealt with."
"Oh…" my hand slipped into a brown bag that was lying behind her. I felt what I was looking for and slipped the band onto my wrist.
"I see you," River continued," And you have so many attributes that the Doctor and I both have and I wonder."
The Doctor walked into the room with Jonathan in tow. "Everything alright?" the Doctor asked, upon seeing River drowned face.
"No, it's not…" I began, "River has something to tell you, but I cannot be here for her explanation."
"What have you got on your wrist?" The Doctor inquired, River spun around horrified, but knew the truth.
"Jonathan, don't you dare leave his side, I'll find you again." I cried, silently.
"Kayla, do you trust this man?" Jonathan asked, as I began punching numbers into the vortex manipulator.
"Yes." I looked deep into his eyes.
"Who is he then?" Awaiting my answer tears filled his eyes.
"My salvation, and he will be yours too one day." I lent in kissed him on the cheek, and stepped back.
"What are you doing?" The Doctor continued to ask.
"Something spectacular!" I pressed the final number and disappeared, leaving nothing but a bolt of lightning in my wake.
