A:N/ So my usual style, short, but this time not so sweet. I wanted to try writing something very dark, so fair warning, severe angst ahead. This story will have two parts. Set at the end of the Waters of Mars. Not canon, because if it was it would take away from the emotion of the café scene in the End of Time when the Doctor and Wilfred see Donna outside with her car. (I LOVE that scene, but it's so sad!)

Enjoy!

He saw the Ood standing there in the snow like a bad omen. An omen of death.

"I've gone too far… Is this it? My death? Is it time?"

The Ood did not reply, but simply faded, as if it had never been there at all.

The Doctor turned and re-entered the TARDIS, as all of his emotions crashed and exploded within him; and he knew the horror of his actions would haunt his dreams for quite a long time.

Adelaide Brooke had taken her own life, because he was so blinded by his newfound power that he could not see…

The laws of time belonged to no one. Time cannot be manipulated.

He stood by the console, and not for the first time that evening, his thought turned to his recent ex-companion, Donna Noble. She had always said he needed someone to stop him, and this was why.

He wondered how things would have turned out if she had still been with him, and his hearts lurched with an overwhelming longing to see her again.

The logical part of his mind said that was insane; that she would recognize him and suffer from a case of explosive brain.

But the emotional part said that he needed to see her, even if it was just for a second. Just to check on her.

The dark humor was, maybe he would forget his current pains if he reminded himself of a greater pain. Seeing Donna again would remind him that he was most definitely not the Time lord victorious.

A:N2 So? Whatcha think? Last chapter should be updated soon, it will be very angsty. Man, angst is fun to write!
