Little White Lies

[Deleted]

Oops. Another lie had left Kitty's lips before she could really stop it and she kind of shrugged sheepishly and just went along with it. Lately, Kitty had...sort of been telling these teeny, tiny lies just to get out of trouble...any average 15 year old would. Like that time where Kitty accidentally robbed a chocolate store. It genuinely was an accident...her friend dragged her out and Kitty had no time to put the chocolate bar down...and although (miraculously) nobody had noticed as the shop was so busy, Kitty had still made an excuse that it had been given to her by someone else, on the account of the fact that at the time, she'd gone out with no money. But still, Kitty had managed to worm her way out of yet another sticky situation, by telling someone she had no money. All she'd done was pick up a stray note on the floor! How was she to know somebody had come back for it? Then the person let her keep it. Kitty had a guilty conscience, but she'd nodded, stammered a thank you and, as soon as she was around a corner, took off at a run just in case anybody had seen her.

When she had run for at least five minutes, she skidded to a halt, flopping down on a hill in the park. She found herself near a willow tree, so she crawled towards it and leaned against the tree. A relieved sigh left her lips, but when her eyes found the twenty pound note in her hand, she felt another pang of guilt. Kitty folded the note up, and slipped it into her pocket, laying one leg down while pulling the other one upwards and resting her arm on her knee. This place was rather relaxing, and allowed Kitty to think without being interrupted. Well, the thought that was originally what she had wanted, but then as soon as her thoughts began to float around her mind she realized perhaps this wasn't such a good idea. Oh great. Kitty looked around, her eyes now seeking a distraction. She really did need to control her own mind. But it seemed impossible at times.

Earth.

It would never be her favorite planet, not even close, but it got the job done. The Doctor tended to lurk around it, but he’d never been too much of a threat to the Rani. As long as she kept her wits about her, and the idiot Master away, then she could go undetected for centuries. And by the time he would finally wise up, the Rani would be long gone, prepared to do her experiments and conquer on another planet. It was an all right system that she had going – performing small tests on humans. Nonlethal. All the while she’d hypnotized a few key members of the government and was extracting information from them.

It was an old game, and one the Rani excelled at.

She tried to step out of her TARDIS, feeling something against the door. With a firm shove, the Rani had opened it enough to get out of it. Her red fingernails clicked impatiently as she arched a thin brow, staring down at the girl who had taken up residency outside of her TARDIS. Perhaps a tree hadn’t been the best idea, then. The Rani sighed, locking the TARDIS doors and finally addressing the girl.
