The First Doctor, the Soldier, and the Military Base

I dreamed I was someone else. I was a tall girl with shoulder length brown/blonde hair, and green eyes. I was flying around with the Doctor and two other guys in the TARDIS. We landed at a military base (this was the first Doctor) and I was from 2009. I'm not sure how I started traveling with the Doctor but anyway, we landed in 1976 at this military base. We got out of the TARDIS and wandered around.

We saw what appeared to be overhead train tracks but it was pulling cars of bombs with pulleys from one side of the base to the other side. I saw this handsome soldier, about 6'2" with blonde hair and blue eyes. I was drawn to him for some reason. He had an adopted son from his first marriage. His son was sitting in the soldier's room working on math problems.

When I touched his hand, I had sort of a flash back. It was a woman, who could have been my exact twin, who died of an embolism on the military base a year ago. No one was around to help her. While the Doctor was off saving things, I got to know the soldier a little more and fell in love. We kissed and the Doctor came in and told me we had to go.

I asked the Doctor if we could show the soldier the TARDIS and he agreed. I opened the door and the soldier ran around the whole place, both of us laughing. I asked him if he would wait four years for me and that I'd be back to marry him. He said yes and we kissed a last time. I climbed aboard the TARDIS and shut the doors.

The Doctor and I had a conversation while we jumped to the military base in 1980. I asked him if he had ever seen the TARDIS before. He told me that was impossible. I said that I had seen her and she was crafty. He laughed and then grew somber as we materialized at the military base in 1980.

I ran out, expecting to see the solider that I left in 1976. No one was there. It was deserted and falling a part. The Doctor slowly came out of the TARDIS and told me that a bomb exploded at the base two days after we had left. I fell to my knees and cried and asked if we could go back and get him but the Doctor told me no. I sobbed as he pulled me into the TARDIS, away from the destruction.

To My Love

You are the love of my life,
I have opened my heart up to you,
No other love will suffice,
I only want you.

You have brightened up my world,
And opened my eyes to new beginnings,
and wonderful things I've never realized.

I love spending time with you,
And when I'm away,
I miss you,
And think of you always.

I hope I spend the rest of my life with you,
For no one else will do
You are the only one I want
And I thank my stars that I found you.

I hold you in my arms,
And look into your eyes,
And I drown in them.
I love you so deeply,
And I'm glad I found you.

I love you,
And I'm glad you're mine.

Running

Running

panting

out of breath

trying to escape

from you

from it all--

Will I ever

get away?

Sadly, no

But I can keep trying

and I WILL escape--

one day.

Running Away from

one's end of sanity

Running away from the break of society

Running from the grasp of

you

Running before I fall in love

with you.

Lost in You

Lost in your eyes,

embracing your smile

Hanging on every moment

Scared it will slip away--

Now that it has

And you are gone

I am forced to live my life

and move on.

I will never forget

the times we shared

or the moments we had

For you are special

to me

and the love

of my life

Forward - The Indian Princess

I was sitting i the parlor over lunch when my dad joined me. I knew it had to be important because he almost never dined with me. He usually was always in his study or at meetings with his officers from the army. He sat down with me and ordered our servants to leave because he he wanted to talk to me alone. I knew then that it had to be serious.

"Maria," he started after the last servant had gone. "You are still young and at sixteen you must have a guardian to accompany you while I am away."

I was surprised.

"Father, you are going away again?"

He looked above the fireplace. It had a painted portrait of my mother. She died when I was born, so it had always been my dad and myself. I know that he missed her terribly. I never knew her but I had heard stories about her.

"It is my duty as King to aid my country when it needs me."

He looked back at the portrait. I grabbed his hand.

"When are you leaving papa?" I asked.

He looked at me steadily.

"I leave in two weeks. My troops and I shall march to Asia."

I was worried. I did not trust my father's council one bit. Each one of them were power hungry and they did not give a damn about the people. They would rather see the kingdom starve while they lounged at bath houses and slept on silk sheets. It just made me so angry. If I were a son, things would be much different. But, women could do nothing. My father remarried and tried for a son but the marriage resulted in no children. I was close to my step mother. She was a gentle person and very sweet. It was easy to talk to her.

"So, who will be in charge while you are gone?"

I asked nervously.

My father looked deep in thought for a moment and then finally answered.

"I think I will leave the Lord St. James. He is someone I can trust."

The Lord St. James was a favorite at court. He was tall and handsome. He had dark features and black hair with hazel eyes and he was about 6'2". He had been offered many marriage contracts but had denied them all. He was also American, like my mother. He gave me the creeps. I did not like him one bit. I always felt like he was undressing me with his eyes.

I was part American and part Indian. I had long black hair that reached my waist and green eyes. I had light olive toned skin and was only 5'4".

"I shall miss you father." I said after a while.

"I shall miss you too my dear. Hopefully, the war will be over soon and I can come back home to you. Until then, mind Lord St. James and be good. Well, my dear, I shall depart to my study."

And with that, he left the parlor and I was there alone. The servants came back in and I finished my lunch sorrowfully. I did not want my father to leave. I was so scared that he would not return.

Finally, the day had arrived. My father was leaving for the war. I wore my best dress. It was a long, flowing gown made of green silk. I used my silver hair combs to dress my hair. I tried to catch his eye to plead for him to stay home, but he would not make eye contact. I guess he felt guilty for leaving his only daughter. But, this war was very serious and I knew deep down that he needed to go. The troops would regain morale if they saw their king in the front lines.

I felt so alone already. I had already lost one parent and I did not want to lose another one. His troops lined up and my father mounted his horse. They marched down the road as I sat there with tears running down my face. Lord St. James put his hand on my shoulder. I got chills down my spine.

He leaned over and whispered in my ear,"Come, let's go back to the castle."

There was nothing else I could do but to listen. I followed him back into the castle. From then on, it was a complete nightmare.

And then, the real story starts.

When You Look - by Amber Farrow

When you look in my eyes what do you see?
When you look deep into my soul, what do you feel?

I see dreams and nightmares.
I see hope and high expectations.
I feel love, anger, and peace.

When you look at me do you really see me?
Can you look past my flaws to see the good in me?

Without love an compassion where would we be?
Without love there is no future.

Fresh Start

Dizzy and dependent,
I let you control me.
Everything about me.

You controlled me,
Physically and played
games with my inner mind.

You kept my soul chained
and my bonds clear
and yet you
said you loved me.

My heart wouldn't let
me love you.

So instead,
You kept me a prisoner.

You resulted to fear and intimidation
and you provoked fear
into my heart
and into my life.

So while the hands of fate
were twisting away,
So was my life.

I am stronger
Thanks to you
And more determined
Than ever
To start anew.

The Darkness Fades

At the sound of
your name
the darkness fades

and I am happy
once again.

You are the light
that shines in my
heart.

You are the one
who keeps me sane.

You are the love
that I have never
known.

Acceptance

Hurt by rejection,
Lost in fear -
Looking into your
Eyes
Makes everything clear.

I can see
The love there,
And I can also see,
The Devotion.

But most of all,
I see your open arms -
Open wide for me,
And accepting of who I am,
And who I'm meant to be.

True Love

My thoughts turn to you

drifting...

doting...

you are the one whom I trust
the very heart of me,

You warm my soul
complete my smile,

You are the one
who makes waking up
worthwhile.

Love of my Life

Lost in your eyes
embracing your smile,
hanging on to every moment
scared it will slip away.

Now that it has
and you are gone
I am forced to live my life
and move on.

I will never forget
the good times we shared
or the special moments we had.

For you are special to me,
and the
Love of my Life.

Heed the Warnings

Every though
is drowned out
by your name.

Every emotion
blackened
by your memory,

My scarred
heart is unprotected
from your words,

For you
have no decency
or emotions,

You
are just what
I was warned

About.

Comfort

Trying to concentrate
Teary eyed
and oblivious
to the world.

You see something
In me.

You make me hold my
head up high
and wipe away
my tears.

and yet,
all of my fears
are gone too.

The Disapproving Mother-In-Law-To-Be

Atlanta was almost post apocalyptic. There was no one around, gas mains had ruptured leaving huge holes in the road in the middle of the city, and all of the buildings were worn and unused. The ocean had even come inland. The war really destroyed Atlanta. It was once beautiful, thriving, and full of life. Now, it was just reduced to rubble and there was no life to be seen.

There were bands of people who lived underground because we were known as the "resistance." We didn't want to get caught by the probes that monitored the surface. I was not myself in my dream, but a girl named Anatolia who was a scavenger and thief, and quite good at it. I has olive skin and long, dark hair. My eyes were green and I was tall and thin. Well, everyone was thin, there wasn't that much food to come by.

I crept along the passageways until I found my boyfriend's house. When I say, "house," I use that term loosely. We lived under ground and each person took a pile of rubble and build it into a crude looking dwelling. Sometimes, if you were crafty, you even had running water.

I crept into Josh's window. He helped me in and motioned me to be silent as his mom was still up. She really disapproved of me. We snuggled on his bed for a while, just happy for some peace and a little happiness in the world, when his mother threw open the door in a rage. She heard me laugh, she said later.

So, in an act of defiance, Josh told her that he was going to marry me. She smiled at him, almost sweetly, and said, "Sure you can, if you can find her."

Then, I woke up in the pits way below the city. The places were criminals won't even go. I could hear the spray of the ocean close by and I knew I was in trouble. I needed to find my way back to Josh but I didn't even know where here was. There was no one to ask. The people I did see, avoided me like the plague. I guess they were warned by that evil witch not to talk to me about anything.

I wasn't sure if I was going the right way but I followed the sound of the water spray. I know that would help me get out of the cave. I just kept hearing Josh's mom's laugh over and over again in my head.
