She wasn't born a time lord.
It was more like, she was made.
"You can't do this to me. I'm not gonna let you fight on your own!" she screamed.
"Yes I can. I'm sorry."
I was one second ahead of her for a long time. I managed to tear the timelines apart and stop the crash. I also got rid of the Dalek fleets with the help of my friends – 'children of time', the Daleks called them.
And now, the world was at peace again. I stepped into the TARDIS and pressed her buttons. I would return to her, now. To her, I would be just her physics teacher – but I was sensing something was not quite right: for there was the spaceship, that was supposed to be gone from this world, hiding behind the moon.
I was in the teachers' office during break, and it was noisy as always. I sighed and started my way up for class. As I was walking down the halls, I saw kids gathered at the part of the landing that looked over the main lobby. I decided not to take much notice.
"What is that?" someone asked.
"It looks like a robot? A plumbing robot that flies?" another said.
A what? A plumb-
I froze. I knew what that was. And it could fly. This had to be it.
"Get away from it!" I yelled at the kids. "Go, go!"
I dashed up the stairs to the 3rd floor. I had to find her. She had physics, thank god.
"EXTERMINATE!" said a Dalek, followed by lasers shooting and the screams of kids. I ran into the physics lab. She wasn't there yet. Damn it, where are you?
I dashed around the landing like crazy in search of her. I could hear the Dalek in the 3rd floor now. Kids were screaming and running in all directions, and the Dalek was already exterminating a dozen kids.
Then I saw her. Coming out of the physics lab in terror. She must have gotten there after I'd left! She turned, and met eyes with a Dalek.
"Subject found." The Dalek said. She let out a little whimper.
"What Time Lord technology do you behold?" the Dalek asked. "Explain, or you will be exterminated!"
"What?" she whispered.
"Explain! Explain!" The Dalek said again. The idiot. It didn't know she lost all her memories when she was converted to human form.
I aimed the gun at the Dalek, and blew it off. She screamed. I emerged from my hiding place behind the rows of lockers and took her hand and ran. There was no time for explaining.
We arrived at the mirror in front of the basins of the 3rd floor. This looked big enough. And there were nobody watching either, they had all fleeted at the attack.
Her hands were getting clammy. I took out the screwdriver, and opened the portal. There! We stepped in, and I closed it from the inside, letting go of her hand.
I looked down at her. She was on the floor, gasping. I kneeled to meet her eyes. Her eyes were filled with terror and brimming with tears.
"Are you alright?" I asked. She shook her head no.
"Come here." I said, holding her. She held back on to me.
"What was that?" she whispered. "What did it mean, Time Lord technology?"
"It's complicated." I said.
"Why did it ask me that?" she asked.
"Listen." I said. "There are things that can't be fully explained. I guess you've figured that we are in grave danger. And we are. But I promise I would do anything to keep you safe."
She broke down sobbing, and I tried to calm her the best I can. When she seemed to be at least a little better, I took her down the corridors inside the mirror and found the one leading to another basin, only in the 2nd floor.
"Go there." I said. "Follow those kids to the auditorium. I'll come back for you."
She inhaled, nodded, and stepped out. She was swallowed by the swarm of kids. I found the mirror leading to the bathroom inside the auditorium (for that was where school protocol instructed everyone evacuated to shall there be danger). I stepped out and called for my TARDIS in one of the backstage areas. She materialized. I stepped in, and created a Dalek-hostile barrier around the auditorium. That way people would be safe.
