Turn Left- Part 3

I do not own Doctor Who or Torchwood and I am not making a profit off of his. I only own my OC.

Some of this episode will be in third person and some will be in first.

Thank you for all your reviews, favorites, followers, and story alerts.


Outside Donna's new temporary home Wilf has got a fire going in a brazier, and his telescope is set up.

"You know, we'd get a bit of cash if we sold this thing." Wilf imagined wistfully.

"Don't you dare. I always imagined, your old age, I'd have put a bit of money by. Make you comfy. Never did. I'm just useless. You're supposed to say, no you're not." Donna told her grandfather.

"Ha, it must be the alignment."

"What's wrong?"

"Well, I don't know. I mean, it can't be the lens, because I was looking at Orion. The constellation of Orion. You take a look. And tell me, what can you see?"

"Where?" Donna asked.

"Well, up there in the sky."

"Well, I can't see anything. It's just black." Donna retorted.

"Well, I mean, it's working. The telescope is working."

"Well, maybe it's clouds."

"There is no clouds."

"Well, there must be." Donna said, trying to reason with him.

"There's not! It was there. An entire constellation. Look. Look there. They're going out. Oh, my God! Donna, look. The stars are going out."

Donna sees Rose by the edge of their garden. She walks over to her. "I'm ready."


In a warehouse, a UNIT Land Rover delivers them to a warehouse filled with scientific equipment, UNIT soldiers and people in white lab coats

"Lodestone testing now at fifteen point four. Repeat, fifteen point four." A soldier say.

A woman officer salutes Rose. "Ma'am."

"I've told you, don't salute." Rose said.

"Well, if you're not going to tell us your name." The officer started.

Rose goes to a control console.

"What, you don't know either?"

"I've crossed too many different realities. Trust me, the wrong word in the wrong place can change an entire causal nexus." Rose said.

"She talks like that. A lot. And you must be Miss Noble."

"Donna." Donna told the officer.

"Captain Erisa Magambo. Thank you for this."

"I don't even know what I'm doing."

"Is it awake?" Rose asked the Captain.

"Seems to be quiet today. Ticking over. Like it's waiting." The Captain answered Rose. Donna looked to where they were looking. A familiar blue police box was hooked up to some equipment by connectors on the outside. Donna was confused. Why would it seem familiar?

"Do you want to see it?" Rose asked.

"What's a police box?"

"They salvaged it from underneath the Thames. Just go inside."

"What for?" Donna asked, suspiciously.

"Just go in."

Donna entered the Tardis. Donna gasped. "No way." Donna comes back out, checks the outside, does the around the box with the hand thing, then goes back inside, then finally out again.

"What do you think?" Rose asked.

"Can I have a coffee?"


Rose and Donna are inside the Tardis. Donna is slowly sipping her coffee. "Time And Relative Dimension In Space. This room used to shine with light. I think it's dying." Rose strokes the time rotor and it moves a little. "Still trying to help."

"And, and it belonged to the Doctor?"

"He was a Time Lord. Last of his kind." Rose told the stunned Donna.

"But if he was so special, what was he doing with me?" Donna asked, thinking back to all those times where her mother called her useless.

"He thought you were brilliant." Rose said, smiling.

"Don't be stupid."

"But you are. It just took the Doctor to show you that, simply by being with him. He did the same to me. To everyone he touches." Rose said, sadly.

"Were you and him?" Donna asked softly.

Rose strokes Donna's shoulder then looks at her. "Do you want to see it?"

"No." Donna said. Then she sighed. "Go on, then."


Donna found herself a while later wearing a jacket with lots of wires all over it. After seeing the creature on her back and remembering all her dead family and friends, she had agreed to do the impossible. Travel in Time.

"The Tardis has tracked down the moment of intervention. Monday the twenty fifth, one minute past ten in the morning. Your car was on Little Sutton Street leading to the Ealing Road, but you turned right heading towards Griffin's Parade. You need to turn left. That's the most important thing. You've got to go back, turn left. Have you got that, Donna? One minute past ten, make yourself turn left, heading for the Chiswick Highroad." Rose said.

"Keep the jacket on at all times. It's insulation against temporal feedback. This will correspond to local time wherever you land." Captain Magambo said. A scientist puts a high tech watch on Donna's wrist. Captain Magambo holds out a glass of water. "This is to combat dehydration."

Donna is escorted back to the mirrors. "This is where we leave you." Rose said, not coming in the circle of mirrors.

"I don't want to see that thing on my back." Donna said to Rose, terrified of seeing it again.

"No, the mirrors are just incidental. They bounce chronon energy back into the centre which we control and decide the destination." Rose said.

"It's a time machine." Donna said, laughing with fear.

Rose nodded, laughing with her. "It's a time machine."

"If you could?" Donna takes her place in the middle under the captain's orders. "Powering up."

"How do you know it's going to work?" Donna asked.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, we, we don't. We're just, we're just guessing." Rose said.

"Oh, brilliant." Donna said, sarcastically.

"Just remember, when you get to the junction, change the car's direction by one minute past ten." Rose said.

"How do I do that?"

"It's up to you."

"Well, I just have to run up to myself and have a good argument." Donna said with a small laugh.

"I'd like to see that!" Rose said.

"Activate lodestone." Magambo said.

"Good luck." Rose said to Donna.

"I'm ready."

"One minute past ten." Rose said.

"Because I understand now. You said I was going to die, but you mean this whole world is going to blink out of existence. But that's not dying, because a better world takes its place. The Doctor's world. And I'm still alive. That's right, isn't it? I don't die. If I change things, I don't die. That's that's right, isn't it?" Donna said, terrified of the thought of dying.

The next words made Donna's heart stop. "I'm sorry."

"But I can't die. I've got a future. With the Doctor. You told me!"

"Activate!" Sparks fly along the power cables running to the Tardis, and Donna dematerialised.


Donna found herself on her hands and knees outside a cafe. Donna rejoices briefly. "But hold on. But this is. I'm not. This is Sutton Court. I'm half a mile away. I'm half a mile away!" Donna looks at the chronometer and it says 9:57. "Four minutes? Oh, my God." Donna started running.


Donna stopped, breathing hard and it is 9:59. "I'm not going to get there." Donna breathed.

Then the mysterious girl's words came back to her. "You're going to die."

Donna sees a van coming towards her. It has just passed the junction the car is waiting at.

"Please." Donna whispered. Donna steps out in front of the van.

The driver stands on the brakes.

A woman screams.

The driver gets out and waves at the taxi behind. "Hold on! Back up!"

"Oi, get a move on." The Taxi driver yells, not seeing that the Van just hit Donna.

Rose appeared beside Donna in her final moments. "Tell him this. Two words." Rose leans over and whispers in dying Donna's ear.


Back in Donna's car the tailback is past her junction now "Well, that decides it. I'm not sitting in a traffic jam. I'm going left." Donna told her mother.

Donna turned left.


I gasped for breath. "Susan?" Came Jack's worried voice. "Susan what's wrong?"

I opened my eyes to find Jack holding my hands which were grabbing my head. I had a massive headache. I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "I'm fine now." Before Jack could open his mouth I said, "It was one of those times where another alternate reality happened. Don't worry. Donna fixed it."

"I thought I was going to lose you." Jack told me.

I smiled weekly. "It's going to take more than an alternate reality to get rid of me." Then my eyes widened as I remembered the next episode. "Crap." I whispered, standing up and wobbling a bit. Jack caught me as I started to fall.

"What?" Jack asked.

"I just remembered what happens next. We have to prepare Torchwood."

"For what? What's coming?" Jack asked.

I looked him straight in the eyes and said, "The Daleks."
