DW Chapter 4
The Doctor's POV
The words Selaena had just said echoed around in his head. 'What mother? What mother?! WHAT MOTHER?'
How could someone forget their own mom? Even the Doctor didn't forget his mum. He hated thinking about her. The way she died.. Was absolutely horrible.
Even back then, the Daleks were trying to make more of their own kind, making them "superior".
They took innocent prisoners of the Time War and brought them to the Transforming Station. Including his mother.
He had, of course, tried to save her. The ties of family to a TimeLord were the strongest bonds in the universe.
After they had taken his mum, the Doctor had gone "undercover". Actually more like transporting there, being found, and lots of running.
While in there, he had seen the most disturbing thing of his life. The Daleks strapped her into a machine; it had a piece that fit over the head and wires curled all around it, injecting into the helmet.
And the Daleks then pulled a lever. It looked like an electric chair except much worse. If the process to becoming a Dalek fails, you curl up in on herself like a raisin and almost disappear except for a little dried up piece of dirt about the size of a kitten.
That was one of the reasons he had turned on his own kind. They had allowed that to happen. The Daleks in the Time War gave everyone a choice, Come up Willingly for Testing Or Become Bacon. (Not really that but you get the idea.) You can also turn certain people in. He knew that they turned her in. He had WATCHED them. She was an old, frail lady that was good for nothing in their minds.
'I am disturbed..' He thought.
"What's wrong?" Selaena suddenly asked. She had a clueless expression.
"You don't remember your mum?" He asked again.
"You mean the red-headed, tall lady? She's not my mother. She never was. I mean look at the difference." She gestured to herself.
He had to admit, they looked nothing alike.
Selaena and the red-head were not related at all. He could really feel it in him that he should know what was happening.
But he didn't.
That was the most horrible thing to the Doctor, not knowing.
He had gotten so used to knowing everything about anything. So as anyone could tell, he was really irked.
He grunted. Then was surprised with himself. He, The Doctor, grunted.
"Uhh..." Selaena started but was soon interrupted.
"We still have to save that woman. She's still a human being." 'Maybe..' He added silently.
"Okay..." She said. The Doctor grimaced. She said it as if she didn't care. But he had to say, the only reason he was saving this person was so he could ask her (or it) questions on what all was happening.
"Let's go!" He said with a dramatic fist in the air. He paused. "I mean.. Only I shall go while you stay here all safe and eating chocolate!" He mimicked the fist in the air with fake enthusiasm.
"Nope." She said with her chin up. "I am going and you will like it."
He wasn't surprised at all by her saying this. All of his companions had been brilliant and stubborn. (Not as brilliant as him of course, but still fairly capable of taking care of themselves.) 'Maybe I should take her with me..' He thought to himself. He agreed with his mind. It felt funny sometimes. It felt like he not only had two hearts, but two brains as well. One had the most luxurious intellect and the other came up with ideas and theories. He had actually thought when he was young that this was true, the whole two brains thing. When he was older he got an advanced alien race to check. Yeah he didn't have two brains.
He still smiled at the thought that he could have been that dimwitted. Now he knew everything. 'Except Selaena's life.' He slapped himself in the face.
Selaena was looking at him funny. 'Well this is great.' He thought. 'I seem like a madman.' Even though he knew he was. He smirked to himself.
"Okay." Selaena began. "WE are going to go help that stranger."
"She's not a stranger." He automatically defended her. "She raised you probably since you were a little baby munchkin person and cared for you then on. So you have no right to go insulting people."
Selaena sighed. "If I remembered I may have been grateful and loved her, but," she paused, "I don't. So I can't love her, or be grateful. I don't even know the woman's whole name!"
He paused. He could see where that may be difficult to care for someone you didn't even know. "Then why do you want to save her?"
"I don't know. To get some action, fun!" She smiled. "I've most-likely been cooped up my whole life! I want adventure!" She clapped softly. 'She still acts like a 15 year old even though she was 19.' The Doctor noted.
"Okay then you'll come.." Wait what? He had been persuaded as easily as a human. How did she suddenly know how to get what she wanted from him? Impossible ideas were forming in his mind, so many it would take years to list and read them all.
There was one that shocked him to the core.
