CHAPTER 2.
The Playton galaxy; 1.2 trillion light-years from Earth.
Okay, so I'm… alive. Alive is good. Ok, what can I see? Walls, four grey metal walls. Helpful. Well, at least I saw my kidnappers. Oh crap! What was that bang?
A door has opened. A husky voice has just told me to follow it. I wish this monologue could be kept. It could be my last thoughts. I don't want to die. Not alone, ion space. Away from Lopinha- that's my home planet- what am I saying! It's not as if anyone can hear what I'm thinking…
I can.
What? What the hell was that? Ugh, this talking to my brain must be driving me crazy…
You're not crazy. I can hear you.
What the hell is going on. Just ignore it. It'll go away… Anyway… I'm now in a control room; if anything, talking to myself is stopping the panic overtaking me, I can feel it in the pit of my third stomach, edging its way up and around my body. I gulp. Trying to keep it down. I look around, at the crew. Then to the far side of the room. My friends! Well; I say "friends" it's a loose term. We see each other everyday and talk sometimes. It doesn't make us friends, but it's the closest thing since everyone else is dead.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, my planet was destroyed during a Great Time War, the last Great Time War. The Daleks- an alien race, destroyed it, as well as many others; while fighting against another species called "Time Lords" and, they lost… Everyone lost… nothing we can do…
You thinks so?
What the hell is this, it sounds so real, and I should be terrified, but the voice is strangely calming. I am definitely going crazy…
No, your not…
It's whispering, this is totally insane now…. But- no. I am crazy. No one hears a voice that whispers at you.
But I'm here.
No! You, Mr. Voice! Are in my head! IN! MY! HEAD! God- I am crazy…
Yes. I am. And no; you're not…
Breathe. Calm down. Relax. Collect my thoughts up. OK… Mr Voice- in- my- head; can anyone else hear you?
Look around and deduce the answer yourself.
I look around. Everyone is going about their own business. I cough just to be sure I'm not invisible or something. Well, they heard that. Just got daggers from the guard- officer person to my left…Why only me. Oh crap! They've said something to me haven't they? And I've been too wrapped up in my creepy voice thing that I haven't heard… I ask them "What?"
"Go over there and shut up" Geez! Temper! Fine. I slowly walk over to my… I'll call them companions. I smile at them. They look worried. I am too. But, best to stay positive.
I think back to my abduction; we were just stopping off at a refuel point on the planet Storp when they ran in, grabbed us and said something about hostages… what was it. It'll come to me later… provided I'm not dead…
Stop talking about death! You'll be fine! You have me!
Wow! My inner mind is REALLY pompous and arrogant. Well, I'll be fine. Me and my companions are unstoppable- no one can defeat us!
I could.
Thanks. Wait to kill the moment… No! Of course we can beat them! We can beat ANYONE!
Are you paying attention to what's around you?
Um… yes. Of course I am.
Are you sure?
Yes!
Really sure?
YES! Flipping heck! That is so annoying. Why would I need to keep an eye on my surroundings.
Someone screams.
Oh crap! Oh shit this is bad. This is very…. VERY bad! How many dead? One, two, three…. Three of the officer- commander people of the spaceship. Dead. Why didn't I see it happen? Oh crap. That is almost everyone.
Thud! Jamot Leslo? Briler? Oh crap! Not you too! Wake up! WAKE UP! Please! We are the only one's left; we have so much to do… getting revenge remember? Finding others? We have so much left to do… so much…
You did this didn't you?
What did I say?
Don't! You! DARE! Sound that pleased! EVER!
What did I tell you?
I don't give a shit what you told me!
It is rather important.
What then? What? Did? You? SAY!?
To pay attention
So? You killed people!
I thought you said they weren't your friends?
Yes I know but… bu-
But what?
You didn't have to kill them!
No. I did not.
Then… then WHY?
I had to prove to you/
What? What did you have to prove?
That I was powerful.
Bring them back!
I am more powerful than you could even imagine.
Stop! Just stop! Why me? WHY did you choose me?
Because we are the same.
No we are not! We are not the same! I do not kill people just to prove I'm powerful- which I'm not!
Not like that.
Well then, like what?
We both want something. The same thing.
And what would that be?
Revenge.
I…. Er…
What?
Er…
Say something.
Who do you want revenge against?
The time lords.
No. They… they tried to save us… The Doctor… he tried. He saved me… he did… He saved my LIFE!
He left me.
I'm sorry…
He left me to BURN!
OK. But what about the Daleks? They were the bad ones…
I am a… How to put it… an acquaintance of The Daleks
What? But how? You're… you're like… a consciousness…. Not an…..
I am the consciousness of an alien. It doesn't change anything. I am worse than all aliens.
But you don't sound like one…
That was to get you on my side. So you would trust me. I went deep into your head. Found a memory, hidden away. Do you recognise the voice?
No, but I- yes….. maybe…
It is a voice, so old, yet so young…
I don't know…
This Kallit, is The voice of The Doctor. The man YOU are going to kill!
It laughs. And suddenly, the voice of the monster inside returns. The memory, forgotten moments ago is flooding through me. That time when the Doctor saved me… I- I can't do it... I just can't! You can't make me. I know I am wrong. I know he- it can make me do anything... anything it wants.
You are right. You can't stop me. Ever.
