Book One Doctor Who story
Demon's run when a good man goes to war;
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a good man goes to war.
Friendship dies and true love lies,
Night will fall and the dark will rise,
When a good man goes to war,
Demon's run, but count the cost,
The battle's won, but the child is lost,
When a good man goes to war.
Amy sighed as she gazed out of her apartment window, looking out at the stars. She looked out at the countless shining lights that hung in the velvet black sky, and she remembered all of her travels with him. They had gone to countless planets, saved countless lives (including each others,) and had left Amy with countless memories. As she remembered, her mind was clouded with the same thought: Did I make the right decision? She was deep in scrutiny when she was disturbed by a loud banging on her front door. She tore her eyes from the window and slowly walked towards it to see who could possibly want to see her at this time of night. She yanked the door open to see a familiar face staring back at her. It was him. The Doctor, the Raggedy Doctor, The Doctor that came to help her with the crack in her wall. Her Doctor.
"Doctor!" Amy gasped, pulling him inside and slamming the door behind her. "What are you doing here? You should be looking for…Melody, or River, or MY DAUGHTER IN GENRAL!" she paused, realising the her voice had become a high shriek, and a wince was plastered on the Doctors face. "…Sorry," she said quietly. "But…have you found her?" The Doctor smiled, and Amy got her hopes up. But then his smile faltered, and her renewed hope broke, and she realised the truth
"You haven't found her yet, have you..."
"I made a promise to you Amy, and I never, ever, break my promises" the soothing voice of the Doctor replied, reaching out and cradling her face in his hands.
"Don't worry, we know who she becomes. But Amy, listen. I think I might know where she is. But we have to get back to the TARDIS. Oh, and where's Rory?" Amy looked away, and the Doctor realised something wasn't right. "Amy, answer me. Where is Rory...?"
Six months earlier
"Rory!" Amy screamed, her voice full of sadness and despair. "Don't die, please, don't go, please Rory! Please, you can't leave me here on my own…" her begging ended in a chocked sob, and she drew in a sharp breath when a cold hand stroked her face.
"Amy, stop screaming," a gasping voice came from her beloved husband.
"I love you, you know that don't you? I love you now, I loved you then, and I'll love you forever." By now, Amy was shaking, tears filling her eyes, running down her face and dampening her dying lovers shirt.
"Listen, go, go find The Doctor, find our daughter, our Melody. Don't forget me. Don't forget, I…I love…" Rory's hand dropped from her face, his heart slowly coming to a stop. Amy started to talk to him with a shaky voice
"I..I'll tell her a-all about you, you kn-now. Th-the Last Centurion. S-she will know you j-just as I knew you, I will miss you, I will never forget you, I will never stop loving you…" A faint smile appeared on Rory's lips as the rise and fall of his chest stopped, and then Amy let out a heartbreaking wail that filled everyone who heard it with deep sorrow, and then she was gently pulled her off the body of her dead husband and then he was packaged and taken away. She sobbed and screamed on the footpath, and at that time Amy was alone. The Doctor had left her, her child had been taken away from her, but worst of all, the love of her life, her husband, had died. And Amy was terrified
