The Doctor landed on the planet of the Oods, he looked back to Rose, "I have to go find something out, stay in here until I get the all clear." Rose nodded, knowing he was being serious and he didn't want Isabel and her getting hurt. She couldn't help but wonder why they were there and why the Doctor was so on edge.
The Doctor stepped outside the Tardis, closing the door behind him, right as tiny 4 year old Isabel ran into the console room with Rose. She smiled, giggling and tried to follow her dad out of the Tardis but Rose picked her up. She took Isabel to the chair and sat her down, "Daddy wants to check outside before you go running out, you know how he is." The Doctor had always been protective of Isabel because she was his daughter, but there was so much more to it then that. Isabel had different kinds of gifts that they didn't even know about, they knew she was the smartest little 4 year old in the universe, she could rattle off equations faster then the Doctor could and she understood it all. But it wasn't only because she was smart that The Doctor feared letting her out of his site.
Isabel had moments, scary moments where she would tell the future, her eyes would turn gold and her whole body would grow, her energy would spike up to amazing heights. The Doctor was afraid that someone would try to use her for that power. He didn't like how random it was to, he didn't like how he didn't know if it was killing her or not. He asked her about it once after it happened but she didn't understand, she didn't remember anything.
Rose worried about her daughter also, the first time Isabel started glowing she was terrified, she thought something had gone wrong in her body and she was regenerating but The Doctor told her that Isabel was perfectly healthy and had no reason to regenerate. That had always been Rose's worse fear, her daughter having to go through the pain of regeneration at such a young age.
Isabel looked at the doors and waited for her dad to either walk back through them and tell her and her mother that they were leaving or to poke his head in to tell them it was all clear. The waited for a while then The Doctor finally opened the doors, "It's all fine out here, it's just Ood and they won't bi-Well, not now anyway."
Rose laughed and picked up Isabel, holding her tiny form against her side, Isabel was quite small for a 4 year old, that was the Tardis' doing. They walked out and were greeted by Ood sigma, The Ood didn't say much to them but he wanted The Doctor to go see his elders because they had something important to tell him, that's when Isabel started glowing. The doctor knew this wasn't a normal vision because he could see the tears running down Isabel's face and the pain in her eyes as she stared off into space. Rose tried to get her attention but she was already out of it, their was no getting to her when she was already half way into her vision.
The Doctor saw her shivering, "I think we should get her somewhere warmer." He looked at Ood sigma who was already walking away in the direction on his elders. The Doctor pulled Rose along by wrapping an arm around her waist and followed Ood sigma. When they finally made it The Doctor reluctantly left Rose's side to go sit with the elders.
Rose listened to Isabel who was whispering frantically but she was almost to quiet to hear. But 5 words stood out among the rest, she didn't know why. He will knock four times. Isabel would whisper other things but it would always come back to those 5 words. "Isabel? What does that mean?" Rose tried to break through her trance, "What does he will knock four times mean?"
The Doctor sat in the circle with the elders, taking their hands and closed his eyes then almost immediately opened them again, pulling his hands away, looking scared. "He comes to us. Every night. I think all the peoples of the universe dream of him now." The elder Ood said.
The Doctor shook his head, "That man is dead." Isabel whispered even more frantically then before, starting to shake with fear. The Doctor looked at her, sorrow filling his eyes. The elder Ood got his attention again, "There is yet more. Join us. Events are taking shape, so many years ago, yet changing the now. There is a man so scared." Isabel flinched at what ever they were hearing, the laughter of an evil man.
The Doctor looked up, "Wilfred, is he alright? What about Donna, is she safe?!" he asked and Rose held Isabel tighter, the elder Ood ignored his questioning, "You should have not delayed, for the lines of convergence are being drawn across the Earth even now. The king is in his counting house." The Doctor stared at the elder Ood horrified, visions of a man and a woman came into his head, "I don't know who they are." The elder Ood continued on, "There is another, The most lonely of all, lost and forgotten." Isabel's face was wet from the tears and even though Rose tried her best to wipe them away.
The Doctor saw another person come into his mind, "That's the masters wife."
Ood sigma walked up behind The Doctor, causing him to jump and look back. Rose could really tell he was on edge now, he wasn't even trying to hide it. "We see so much but understand little. The woman in the cage, who is she?" The Doctor started to speak but tripped over his own sentences, "She was...It-it wasn't her fault she was...The Master he's a Timelord like me...I can show you." He grabbed the Oods hands and closed his eyes, "The Master took the name of Saxon, he married a human named Lucy. And he corrupted her. She stood by his side while he conquered the Earth." Rose listened to The Doctors story but kept her eyes on Isabel, who at this point calmed down a bit. Rose wanted so badly to walk over there and join The Doctor, just to comfort him, but she couldn't let Isabel out of her sights. Especially like this.
The Doctor opened his eyes and continue, glancing over at Rose and Isabel to make sure they were fine, quickly. "I reversed everything that he had done, so, it never even happened. But Lucy Saxon remembered. I held him in my arms. I burnt his body! The Master is dead!" The Doctor was getting irradiated, he didn't like to not understand things.
The elder Ood wasn't bothered by his irradiation, "And yet, you did not see..." The Doctors face changed back to being frightened, "What's that?...Part of him survived." Behind him he could hear Isabel screaming 'No', "I have to go!" He got up but the elder Ood stopped him, "But some more is happening, Doctor." The Oods pulled him back down, "The Master is part of a greater design. Because a shadow is falling over creation. Something vast is stirring in the dark." All the Oods eyes turned red, "The Ood have gained this power to see through time because time is bleeding, shapes of things once lost are moving through the veil. And these events from years ago threaten to destroy the future, and the present and the past." The Doctor was starting to get angry with the riddles, "What do you mean?"
"This is what we've seen, Doctor, The darkness heralds only one thing. The end of time itself." The laughed of an evil man filled the room and Isabel went limp in Rose's arms, "Doctor!" He looked at Rose and the sight of Isabel broke his hearts, he got up and ran to them, "Lets go!" Rose shook her head, "But Doctor what about Isabel?" The Doctor looked at her, "She passed out, she's going to be okay, we just need to leave, something is happening on Earth. Quick." He took Isabel out of Rose's arms and started running, Rose following after him. As she slept, Isabel's vision kept going, The master's wife was being taken out of her cell and lead down halls. The Doctor unlocked the Tardis and carried Isabel in laying her on the console seat. Rose closed the doors behind her, "Doctor?! What is going on?"
The Doctor moved around the Tardis console quickly, pushing buttons and pulling levers, ignoring Rose's question and concentrating on what he was doing. He looked at Rose, "Hold on." Rose ran over to Isabel, grabbing a hold of her so she wouldn't get hurt. The Doctor pulled the final lever down and the Tardis started shaking and jumbling around, sparks flew everywhere and Rose shielded Isabel with her body so they didn't hit her.
Isabel's vision continued and it started to worry The Doctor, she wasn't waking up, she usually wakes up soon but for some reason she was still asleep and growing just slightly. The vision she had must be a huge one because it's almost to much for her to handle, The Doctor danced around to console at a hundred miles an hour, switching switches, pulling levers.
Isabel's vision got more intense as lights flashed and Lucy screamed for them not to bring The Master back to life. The Masters laughter filled her mind and he would forever give her nightmares, she screamed and woke, just as her vision ended in an explosion. She felt the Tardis land and saw her dad run out the Tardis doors. Rose looked at Isabel and started checking her out to see if she was better, once she knew that, she ran after The Doctor. Isabel got off the seat and went over to the doors, she tried to push them open but they wouldn't move. Isabel looked back at the console and she sighed, "I wanna go out." The Tardis hummed softly and Isabel sighed walking to the railing to jump down and go down underneath the console. She laid down there waiting for her parents to get back inside the Tardis.
