First cut is the deepest

'Come quickly I need you. X' the note read. Immediately he panicked the note was rushed and the writing scrawled along the paper.

When he arrived at the destination she described he yelled to Amy and Rory to stay put. Whatever had happened he knew they wouldn't want to see it.

There she laid, clothes stained with blood, hair tangled, wrists cuffed. 'River … River, honey answer me' in reply all she could do was groan, her head turned and a forced, painful smile escaped her lips. He searched profusely for the source of such injury but with no joy he carefully lifted her into his arms. He walked out of the dank, cold room which had ironic wallpaper surrounding it: balloons, celebration, he was not in the mood for that.

He entered the tardis and almost immediately his beloved wife's parents rushed over. They all spoke at the same time but all ceased as a small, hurt voice spoke 'Stop arguing, mum, dad I love you' those words threatened to kill her parents, she was losing the battle to live but instead of show their inner turmoil they replied simultaneously 'I love you too, my sweet melody'. But then she spoke again 'Doctor, I love you so much' he couldn't believe she was giving up. 'You cannot give up, River Song, Melody Pond, my wife. I love you, you can't just leave. Please … I love you' he looked up to see her emerald-blue eyes glistening with unshed tears then he realised 'oh god, I've never said that before why haven't I?' he cried and cried as did her parents but then as if a light had appeared suddenly they all turned to River. She had gone. River Song, Melody Pond, the daughter of the Doctor's best friend, his wife, she had died. There was nothing, no sound other than the tardis' saddened humming, people seemingly forgot she too had lost her daughter. There was a silent, unspoken decision. The person who killed her would pay. Soon.
