She Only Told You

Placing Clara gently on a bed, in a room far from being deep within the Tardis, the man pulled away once he was sure she was safe. Slowly, he walked out the door and down the winding corridors, with his head down. He approached the Tardis console, swaying on his feet, leaning all his weight on to the railing before sitting on top of it.

"Sweetie, it was unavoidable." A voice echoed around the console room, lacking the certainty it once held. The man who the words was directed at held his head down in shame, the bright fire that was once in his eyes had grown old.

"No, I could of stopped it if you had told me!" The weary man shouted, raising his head briefly before allowing it hang again. Griping the railing as tight as he could, the man dented the alien metal with his fierce grip, "Why face me now?"

She winked at the once fiery man, "Did you know she still waits?"

"Who is 'She'?" The man finally raised his head, looking directly ahead to stare eye to eye. "Melody Pond, why must you speak in riddles?"

A sadness crept into the eyes of the female ghost, "You truly don't remember? The whispers I have heard are right, you are staring to forget."

"A name. Give me a name!" He roared at the female, jumping of the railing and stood at nose distance from the only other 'being' in the room.

She gave him a distort look but he still pursued, "My mind can only allow me to see the back of her but my hearts scream to see her face and soul once more. She told me her name when I was a young boy yet I can not remember a letter of it. Please, River, tell me."

"Doctor, my sweet..." The ever so loyal yet jail-sentenced woman gave a small struggled smile and a single tear before leaving a ghostly whisper for all to remember her by as she disappeared...

"Spoilers."
