Chapter Six: I'm Sorry
I knew they'd be coming soon. They had implanted a tracker on me. They knew where I was at all times, and who I was with. He was their target. That's what scared me the most.
Knowing that I couldn't do anything to save him hurt worse than anything. I loved him, I always have, and now I will be the reason they found him.
I should just run away. Get away from him. Save him while I can. I thought. Could I do that? Would I be able to leave him?
I looked across the console to him. He looked... peaceful, happy with the life he has. I'm he one who will ruin that if I don't do something. Maybe I should tell him what's going on, then he'd understand. He was fiddling with the controls, said the next place we're going is a surprise. I smiled to myself. If I told him he would just want to hold his ground and fight. He wouldn't runaway. So, I had made up my mind. I was going to leave him for his own good. Whenever we landed I would summon my TARDIS and when he wasn't looking I would take off.
I felt a warm tear drop slide down my face and quickly wiped it away. I looked over to him, he was oblivious to his surroundings, just him and his TARDIS. At least one thing about him hasn't changed. Another tear sliped down my cheek and I stifled a sob.
The Doctor looked up at me, "What's the matter?" He asked, looking worried.
"Nothing," -Liar- "It's just, I've missed traveling with you and... it makes me happy that we've found each other again." I said, feeling a bit guilty about lying to him.
He smiled, seeming to believe my story. "I've missed traveling with you, also." He said.
I wiped away my tears and smiled back at him. "Where are we going?" I asked.
"I'm not going to tell you. I already said it's a surprise." He replied.
"I hate surprises! You know that. Always have, always will." I said.
"Yeah, well, you're just going to have to suck it up, this time." He said.
I rolled my eyes and he chuckled. "Fine. I'll wait, but it better be someplace wonderful."
"Trust me, it will be." He said, with a funny grin on his face.
He went back to flying the TARDIS and I wastched in silence. Me leaving is going to kill him, but it's for his own good. Hopefully, one day, he'll figure that out. Hopefully...
I felt the TARDIS land and I ran to the door. I looked back at him and he nodded his head. I opened to doors to see a wonderful mountain veiw.
"Where are we?" I asked. "And when?"
"We're on the planet Lacturis, the year is 3065." He replied.
"It's beautiful!" I exclaimed. I stuck my hand into my pocket and rubbed my TARDIS key three times, to summon my TARDIS.
"Wait 'til you see inside the mountains." He said. "Whole civilizations, oblivious to each other."
"Really?" I asked. "Amazing..."
We walked out of the TARDIS and he lead the way to the nearest mountain. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my TARDIS appear a few yards from his. I frowned to myself and my eyes began to water. I blinked back the tears as we entered the mountain and smiled at the amazing ballroom the entrance lead to.
"And here we are!" The Doctor exclaimed.
"Whoa..." I said.
A small, human looking, boy walked up to us and said, "Who are you?"
"I'm the Doctor and this is the Artist." The Doctor replied.
I smiled to the little boy.
A women, probably the boys mother, walked up behind him looking a bit scared. "How did you get here? Where did you come from?" She exclaimed.
The Doctor started to explain everything and I took this as my chance. I turned around and ran quickly out of the enterance. The Doctor didn't notice I was gone until I was in the doorway of my TARDIS. I looked back at him and he came running out of the mountain, screaming my name.
He looked confused and sad and hurt. It killed me to see him this way. He stopped running as I stepped into the TARDIS and I looked away from him.
"I'm sorry..." I whispered as I closed the door.
I ran around the control panel and quickly set the TARDIS to go far away from here. Somewhere the Doctor would never look for me. He will safer without me.
I felt a warm tear slip down my cheek, followed by many more. I started to sob as the TARDIS took me away. He was the one person I have ever loved and now I am leaving him. It's for his own good. I reminded myself. This is to keep him safe.
To be continued?
a/n: Should I continue this? I've got some writers block so it would probably be a while until the next chapter. But I want to know if you guys actually want me to continue this. So... Comment?
