A/N: First fanfic! Please review. Flames welcomed.
Prologue
The planet exploded in a fireball. All life gone.
Rocks floated out into space. They swirled. Flames leaped from some of them, causing beautiful yet deadly patterns. The stars dimmed in their light. Nothing left but rocks and flames.
A female leaned out of her ship. Her black hair gently billowed in her face. Sharp eyes took in the destruction. So this is the price of war.
Tears leaked out of her eyelids. She closed them tightly, before looking over the destruction again. And she cried not only for the once beautiful planet, but for the place she had taken in this. Of the innocent people killed by her own hands. Of children, once laughing, now ashes on the wind. She took a deep breath. What's done is done. Why did it sound like she was convincing herself?
She glanced back to the complicated interior of her ship. Oh, she could fix this. But then her people would have died at the hands of the enemy. Death by flame.
Never again. She would live her life as someone else. She didn't deserve to be herself. The old her was gone. She would live her life working, eating, and sleeping. And remembering.
It was just her now. Her and the Doctor.
