"Run! Just run! Run as far as you can and get out of here!" Maria's mother yelled at her over the sounds of people screaming, " find your father! I will send you to Earth, 2013, London England, but just run and don't look back! Never forget this place, your humanity, and me! Never seek revenge, stay true to your heart! Run and look forward! Now run! And if you ever see a madman with a big blue box, hand him this locket, he will know what it is!" she handed her daughter a locket with circular writing engraved on it. Then she pressed a button on the watch-like thing on her wrist, a vortex manipulator, and sent her 5-year-old daughter to a new world, a foreign planet.
"Run, my love, my darling daughter. I love you so much," Maria's mother muttered to herself, "run, the Last Child of Gallifrey, run the daughter of the Doctor," she muttered as she turned her back on the last place where her child will ever touch the ground of her plant. She turned back to the Time War.
But soon enough, she was shot. This was her last regeneration. Her last thoughts drifted to those of her husband and child, the girl whom she had sent away and the man who she married who had turned his back on her. He did it for the good of the universe, she knew. "Run my clever boy and my darling daughter," she whispered to both of them, wishing they could hear her. "And remember..." Her head slumped forward, and her whole body fell over, her last breaths gone, her hearts had stopped.
Then, there was nothing, nothing of the woman who married the doctor, the Dalek that stood over her, or the planet of Gallifrey.
At that exact moment, as if he knew, as if he knew that the woman he loved and his daughter were no longer there, the Doctor stopped the Time War. He stopped it with the touch of a button. One big, red, friendly button.
Gallifrey fell.
Gallifrey was no more.
Gallifrey fell no more.
And Clara Oswin Oswald died for the first time in the Doctor's time stream. This time she didn't die to save the Doctor. No, this time she died for his daughter. Their daughter.
A.N. - I don't own the Doctor or Gallifrey, or anything having to do with Doctor Who, just Maria but not the Doctor's wife, who is not River Song. I hope you readers like this! It's my very first story here on FanFiction!
