The winter air hit my face whipping my hair in front of my face as frosty tendrils spread out until they hit every part of me sending shivers down my spine. The air was white as thick, fat snowflakes fluttered to the ground all around me. I could hear the explosion as it filled the air, leaving a high pitched, whining ringing in my ears that took away all other noise. There was blast of hot air and bright orange as flames shot out from the distance. There I was staggering around the snow in a half delirious state pain suddenly bursting through my rib cage. I can’t say that falling face first in the snow was the best experience of my life but at least I hadn’t noticed how bad it had actually been. I hadn’t realized the blood that had started to stain the pure white snow; my blood. I hadn’t realized how hard it was getting to breath as my head pounded, but I did notice him. He turned me over looking at my face with concerning filling his deep brown eyes.
“No, no, no, no!!” He shook his head. “This isn’t happening. I won’t allow it.” My heavy eyelids were just beginning to lose the battle of staying open as his hands slipped under me hoisting me into his arms. “Don’t you dare close those eyes of yours. You are going to be safe and sound.” He ordered gently. “You made me a promise.” “Doctor! You will never escape! You could flee to the end of the galaxy but we will find you again!” A shout rang out from behind us. “oi, that’s only if I don’t find you first and mark my words if she dies, if you’ve killed her than you should be very afraid because I will pursue you until every last one of you has been wiped from existence.There won’t be a safe place in the entire universe you could hide.” The Doctor pushed on as if he knew that he had no choice but to get back to the Tardis. That he knew whatever it was behind him would have to be deal with later. Another explosion rocked the ground as stars began to fade into the sky. Sharp pain shot through my body from the Doctor being thrown off balance from the violent shaking of the snow blanketed ground. My body tumbled to the ground as he fell scrambling to get back up and pick me back up. “Not much farther now.” He murmured not daring to take his eyes off what was ahead. My head felt as if it were explode as shallow breaths somehow continued to wheeze in and out of me. Eyelids fluttering as my vision became ^ I barley took notice of the blue police box in front of us as it’s doors swung open. The Doctor lumbered through the doors carrying the full weight of a girl who was quickly losing consciousness. He laid me down on the floor as he ran around the console flipping switches and pushing buttons. At the moment we had no choice but to go anywhere else in space and time. Once the sounds of the Tardis filled the air he made his way back towards me. “No… you’re not leaving… not yet. Don’t you dare give up! Keep fighting!” He shouted. I finally lost the battle to heavy lids as the darkness surrounded me as the Doctor leaned close listening for a heartbeat and probably having trouble hearing the faint sound over the thrumming of his own hearts. “You made promised me, and I am not going to allow you to break that.” There didn’t seem to be much hope that he could reverse what had been done. Though of course he didn’t know exactly what had been done. He didn’t understand why my heart was about to stop beating and why I wasn’t fighting harder. Maybe if I was trying harder he would have an easier time saving me. “No…no..no…You’d defied the impossible before! Just do it one more time for me!” Getting up the Doctor began frantically running around the Tardis looking for something, anything. He was desperate and running out of time. Though if I woke up he’d understand even less why I couldn’t remember what had happened or why I had forgotten everything about him. Chapter 1: The day the Doctor wouldn’t leave. I know what you expect me to say, the day I had met the Doctor had been a fantastic day that had changed my life forever; but in all honesty the day I had met the Doctor didn’t matter at all. Nothing mattered much when you couldn’t remember it, when you couldn’t trust the memories in your own mind. I guess you could say he changed my life though the only vivid memories that play though my brain are what happened after the day the Doctor refused to leave. Beeping filled my dreams long before I had ever decided to open my eyes. When they finally did flutter open the beeping didn’t end, no matter how hard I tried to snuggle deeper into the covers and pretend that it wasn’t there. I was in a bed, within a room that was filled with darkness, except for a few rays of sunshine that snuck out from behind the curtains. My head ached the second I moved it to get a good look around the room, the pain making me want to curl up under the covers for the rest of the day. I couldn’t remember what I had to do today and if it wasn’t for the never ending beeping I may have stay there a while longer. Slowly I swung my legs over the side of the bed and pulled myself up, a stab of pain running down my spine as my feet hit the ground. A wave of dizziness washed over me but somehow I still made it to the door. With vision swimming, I stumbled into the hallway where sunlight flooded through open windows. My legs wobbled with the effort of going down the stairs, halfway down the smell of smoke beginning to fill my lungs. A loud bang sounded from the kitchen, smoke curling out from the cracks in the doorframe. The smoke alarm beeping as if trying to alert the entire neighborhood. “Halley! You’re awake!!!” “Who are you and what are you doing in my kitchen?” “I was trying to make you breakfast.. and you know exactly who I am.” He grinned as flames billowed from the frying pan in his hands. “No I don’t… and you’re going to burn down my house!” “About that…got a little distracted but come on… I’m the Doctor.” “The Doctor?” I frowned. “I need a doctor? What did I do hit my head?” “Something like that…” He frowned. Slowly the Doctor sat the frying pan down on the counter, taking a few steps closer to me. Eyes intently studying mine as he straightened his bowtie. “Now I know you almost died… but your head shouldn’t have been affected..” “Almost what?!?” I frowned as the flames reached for the curtains above the kitchen window. “Oh I wouldn’t be concerned… You’re fine now…well mostly..” He frowned as he pulled something from his pocket. “If you don’t remember me than what do you remember?” “I’m Halley Aster and I have a family that worries too much about me… and my house is on fire because of some strange man!” I yelled as the small curtains burst into warm colors of orange and yellow. “Not true… I mean your house is on fire… but you told me.. ahh what did they do to you?” He frowned before grabbing a towel and swatting at the slowly growing flames. I stood there, golden blonde hair still slightly messy from just waking up in pj pants and a t-shirt as I watched the towel catch fire also. “Ahh… please tell me you have a fire extinguisher?” “Under the sink,” I rolled my sea blue eyes. The Doctor rummaged beneath the sink, throwing everything onto the floor until he had reached the fire extinguisher. Pulling the pin he squeezed the lever as foam began to spread throughout the kitchen extinguishing the brightly lit flames as it hit them. “Disaster diverted. You are welcome.” “Okay thanks a lot… now leave my house before you decide to ruin it some more.” “Come on Halley… you can’t truly forget me.. how could they make you forget me… I mean I could if I had to… but you said you had something to tell me that was really important.. you’re trying to play a prank on me aren’t you?” “Nope.. afraid not.. I have never seen you in my life. Now I should really be calling my family.” “You don’t have family Halley!! No one to worry about you as you traveled through time and space you said.” The Doctor sighed. “Someone has messed with your mind but don’t you worry Halley Aster even the stars fall down sometimes, and I am going to fix you.
