This isn't a fan fiction, it's based on a Doctor Who roleplay that I'm in, so this may not make sense to those of you who are not in it and read this. I wrote this for my English class, September 2009. It's a 500 word piece that is to involve either the line "I tried to imagine how they felt" or "I'm grateful they felt my pain". As you will notice, I used both, tweaking them a little to fit in. Enjoy!
Seven:
The anguish that washed through me was nothing I had ever felt before. Standing there on the roof, staring at the beautiful young woman that had stolen my heart, I almost considered it to be more painful than the Dagger Wolf (which constantly visited me, unwanted). It seemed impossible that someone so caring could ever want to kill herself. She was so wonderful, such a lovely addition to my dark world. She was an angel, sent from God to save me from myself, so I had though. John had come along and she had been thrown into turmoil, torn between her love for the both of us. If only I had the strength to save her.
Karmen:
It was frightening, standing on the ledge looking down on the street below. This was my choice though, me solution to the battle raging inside me. Take myself out of the equation. Simple enough. I took one last look at my make-shift family, and tried to imagine how they must feel…then I jumped before it could stop me.
Seven:
"The angel will fall". The words echoed in my mind. My angel was falling, and I was helpless to stop it. I fell to my knees, then onto the ground. The heartbroken cry of John, sobbing from D.D. and comforting words from Jack all floated to my ears. The others stayed silent, and I was outraged at this…this injustice of the Universe. How could it have taken her, Karmen, our angel. I tried to imagine how she must have felt, what could have possibly gone wrong. Energy built up in my chest and suddenly released, followed by the feeling of falling onto concrete. D.D. disappeared for a short while, using her vortex manipulator to inspect Karmen's body. She came back and told us…that Karmen was alive!? All I could feel was overwhelming relief that I had some something right, for it hit me then that I had somehow taken the impact of the fall for her, saving her life.
Karmen:
Hours later I found the TARDIS and entered it. I was told that John had left, and that filled me with grief. The Doctor was talking to the TARDIS controls, spotted me and motioned for me to come over. I did so and saw John's face on a screen, my heart painfully throbbing. I said hello.
John:
She was as lovely as when I had last seen her, which for me had been years, for her only hours. We talked, and I could see the tears welling in her violet eyes, tears she wouldn't let escape. I was grateful she felt as lost without me as I was without her. I wanted to return to her so badly…
Seven: Days Later
Karmen was too kind, taking care of me so unconditionally. If only I could repay her. I thought of everything she had gone through because of me, especially when she was caught in the Dagger Wolf. The image of her white-blonde hair streaked with red, face contorted in terror and immense pain, was not something I wished to see again. I tried, instead, to imagine how she felt taking care of me. Her thoughts on what she was doing, and her experience with the horrid Dagger Wolf. It distracted me from the fact that John would return, and she would go to him…
