I'm rather at odds about posting this. I know I should update something else, but I keep thinking about Donna tonight. Slight warning: this turned out rather depressing. There could be a few more chapters, depends on the response. Actually, thats a lie: it depends on how willing I am to keep making myself depressed for a bit before I get to the whole "Donna's Saved HOORAY!" bit. So please let me know what I should do. Stay or go?
In Donna's world, aliens didn't exist. She had a lovely life, one with her greatest trial being trips to the market and making sure bills were paid on time. She had a nice house. Her life was good.
And if she got a head-ache when she watched a Sci-fi movie, that was fine. She'd never liked them anyway.
And if she had little patience with her grandfathers 'wool-gathering,' that was fine too. He knew something she didn't.
And if her husband wanted kids while she still wanted to experiment a bit first, that was fine too. He would just have to wait.
And if Donna Noble couldn't remember years of her life and time spent with the one person who understood her, her best friend, that was fine. How was she to know there was anything to remember?
This Donna was falling apart.
This Donna's world was everything, and nothing, all at once.
This Donna's life didn't matter, at least to her.
So if Donna Noble slipped quietly into death in the early hours of the morning, that was fine. She had nothing to live for, anyway.
And besides;
Donna Noble had been saved.
For those of you interested, the next chapter would start out with the 'saved' Donna's life, and the story line would eventually get to - actually, that would be spoilers. Major ones. So just review already.
