The Doctor's Wife: The Teacher

This is my first fanfiction. It revolves around a character of my own invention named The Teacher, the Doctor's real wife.

Chapter One: Death of the First

"Exterminate! Exterminate!"

Flashes of light soared across the sky and Gallifreyans screamed in terror as the Daleks descended. Children cried for their mothers and soldiers flooded the streets, bearing arms. The Time War had just begun.

A large blue box appeared out of thin air, placing itself directly next to a group of survivors. The door swung open to reveal a very funnily dressed man.

"Well are you all going to sit around there gawking or are you gonna come inside?" The eight Doctor grinned as the survivors scrambled inside.

"Quick! They are escaping! Exterminate!"

The Doctor slammed the door as the first rays of the Daleks' weapons fell on his TARDIS. He turned to face the group of cowering Gallifreyans. They were covered in soot and ash, their countenances displaying fear.

"Listen; there was another Time Lord out there, a woman who was a part of the Rescue Force. Do you know where she went?" The Doctor talked quickly, his sonic screwdriver poised as if waiting for battle. One of the children timidly raised his hand.

"Yes, you!"

"Was she a rather old looking lady sir?"

"Yes! Yes she was." The Doctor bent down next to the child, his brow sweating. "Where is she?"

"I'm sorry sir. She's dead."

The Doctor looked at the child in disbelief. His mouth opened and closed, his two hearts in denial.

"No. No, she would've regenerated and gone inside the TARDIS."

"She was inside the TARDIS. The Daleks hit it with this strange gun and the TARDIS completely disappeared with her in it. Then the gun exploded." An older looking Time Lord gently patted the Doctor on the back as tears began to roll down his cheeks.

"Who was she to you, Doctor?"

The Doctor put his head in his hands and turned away from the group of survivors, ashamed to show them his grief.

"My wife."

Universes away, a TARDIS floated solitary in space. Inside, a newly regenerated Time Lady opened a pair of new eyes for the second time.

Her name was the Teacher.

And she could never go home.
