Luna's prophecy

Inside the fortune teller's hut it was quite dark, there was only enough light to be able to see but it was still dark. The walls were decorated with long stands of beads and gemstones and lit candles sat on the shelves, giving fragrance to the hut. Luna's nose was tickled by the smell of camomile and lavender coming from the candles. In the middle of the hut, there was a small round table made of a dark wood, which Luna guessed was mahogany, and two small armless chairs, made with the same wood.

"Take a seat, Luna." The woman offered.

Reluctantly, Luna took the offer and sat down on the chair closest. The seer sat down of the other chair, opposite. Luna glanced around and noticed that there was no cliché crystal ball or tarot cards. Maybe this seer didn't actually need anything like that.

"How do you actually receive the visions?" Luna asked.

"From your own personal aura" The seer replied.

Luna looked at her sceptically. Aura was a word over used by clairvoyants, fortune tellers and others as far as she could see. But was it possible? Well, this was Luna's time to find out.

"Let me take your hands." The seer said gently.

Slowly, Luna lifted her arms and held her hands at the seer. The seer softly held Luna's hands with hers, caressing the backs with her thumbs. She could feel that Luna was tense. The young time traveller was wishing that she would hear the Doctor calling for her anything moment.

"Try and relax," the seer pleaded, "No harm will come of you here."

Luna looked in to the seer's eyes and could the warmth within them. This woman wasn't going to hurt her.

Eventually, Luna allowed herself to relax. The seer smiled then closed her eyes, still holding Luna's hands.

"Ah, I can see a man," She said, silkily, "A tall handsome man, young but old at the same time, a man of fire and ice with the stars in his wake. He is the most impossible man."

Luna smiled shyly; the seer could see the Doctor clearly in Luna's mind.

"He is most important to you, yes? Ah of course, your hearts beat for him."

Luna felt her cheeks flush. She had never vocalised her feelings towards the Doctor to anyone. Hearing it from someone else made her feel so shy. The time she had spent with the Doctor always left her feeling as if nothing else mattered. But hold on, the seer said 'hearts'.

"Wait, you said hearts, as in more than one heart," Luna said, "How do you know?"

"It is in your mind. You are a rare creature, the last female from Gallifrey."

Luna was actually impressed. This wasn't exactly common knowledge.

Luna was originally born on Gallifrey just before the time war commenced and was time locked. Her biological parents used a chameleon arch to disguise her as human baby and sent her to Earth to live as such. Victoria Edwards found her in a basket on her door step one night and took her in. With no identification for this baby, Victoria named her Luna and gave her the surname of Edwards. Luna's true time lord biology was hidden away until one day, the Doctor found the fob watch when he and Luna ended up helping Victoria sort out the attic. It was a big shock to the system for all three of them and Victoria was worried that her daughter was going to change completely. However, the only thing that changed was that Luna gained the second heart. As she was very young when she became human, she hadn't developed much of a personality so she was still the same person after opening the watch. So now, the Doctor was no longer the lonely time lord.

Back the reading and the seer was seeing more of Luna's life so far. She could see the planets she had visited, the people she had met, the moments of history she had witnessed and the sights that she had seen. It was thrilling for the seer to be looking at.

"Oh you are an amazing thing," She gasped joyfully, "The things that you have seen and done while with your handsome man. You carry starlight in you soul. Of course, you don't need me to tell you what you've already experienced."

The seer opened her eyes and smiled brightly at Luna. The smile was full of excitement and anticipation. Luna could feel her nerves arriving. This was how she always felt just before opening the TARDIS doors to a new place in time and space.

"Now let us see what the future holds for you."

The seer closed her eyes again, still holding Luna's hands. Luna watched the fortune teller's face waiting to see what would happen next.

Then, slowly and to Luna's surprise, the fortune teller's expression changed. It went from serene and gentle to shocked and horrified. Luna felt her heart racing. What was wrong? What was the woman seeing?

"What can you see?" Luna asked, anxiously.

"Death, a tragic and awful death," The seer whimpered, "Metal creatures gliding through a flaming sky. The man, the impossible man, the metal creatures chasing him. There is a choice to be made, but death, only death."

Then the seer opened her eyes. Tears filled her sockets and she terrified. Luna was frozen with shock.

"Death? Whose death?" Luna begged, "And a choice? Between what? And who?

The seer said nothing. She stared right in to Luna's eyes with fear. Suddenly, she dropped Luna's hands, as if she had just been burnt.

"Please, forgive me." She said shakily.

"Just tell, the death you saw, who was it?"

"I am so sorry."

The tension between the two ladies was immense. Then the fortune teller's face softened.

"If I were you, I would treasure every moment that you are with that man."

Luna was speechless. The death, was it for the Doctor? Suddenly, they were disturbed by a familiar voice calling Luna's name. She knew who it was straight away.

"Doctor" She breathed.

"Farewell, Miss Luna Edwards." The seer said.

Luna didn't reply but smiled slightly. She then stood and left, her head swimming with frightening thoughts.

So what is going on? Do you know what the prophecy means? Wait and see...
