I watched these episodes of Doctor Who today and thought i would include it. The exhibiton bit really happened to me - gave me nightmares for like 3weeks! I'm sixteen on monday and still scared of them, but please - dont judge :p

Mercy's POV

We all sat in the living room, placed in front of the TV. Nessie, Jake and Embry had insisted on watching a repeat of a few old episodes of Doctor Who. Just with luck, it was the one with the Cybermen and Rose in the parallel world. I have to admit I cringed when I first realised the episode, the Cybermen had hunted my nightmares since I was a child. I might have been immortal but I still consider myself human, and humans get scared.

When I was eleven I went to an exhibition with my school, it was a great experience but made my horrors come to life. There were two Cybermen in the exhibition and as we walked past, I noticed one moved. I freaked and ran to my favourite teacher, saying we had to get out. I was told that it was just men in suits pretending to be the villain's but I was eleven...I was in my version of hell. As they began to walk around, they noticed me hiding behind the teacher and came towards me. Crying, I ran and hid. I remember my teacher having to pull me out from my hiding place and through the rest of the exhibition, holding my hand.

As I watched the Cybermen on TV, I unconsciously leaned into Embry. I felt his arm wrap around me, bringing instant comfort. At least if my childhood nightmares become a reality, I would be able to stop them. Being a vampire means being strong and smart... we would take them down. My fear's probably stupid but I couldn't help it, the thought of becoming a metal man...terrifying.

"Auntie Mercy" Nessie said, taking a seat at my feet. "Would you ever stay in a parallel universe?"

I felt Embry tense beside me, "There's no such thing Nes, we only have this universe."

"No" I reply, ignoring him. "Have the chance of meeting a Cyberman? No thanks."

"I don't understand what scares you so much" Edward said, reading my thoughts.

"Their metal creatures that cut the brain out of the human body while their still alive and conscious. Just think about having to go through that experience and then having to do that to every other human" I told him. "And to have no feelings...feelings are what makes us human."

"I think that if the Doctor was real, he would pick you as a companion" Nessie smiled at me. "Your brave, smart and humane. You may be scared of the Cybermen but your not scared of fighting for something you believe to be right."

"Before I was turned, I used to have this amazing dream. Well, two dreams. One was that I was an actress and played the Doctors companion. The other was that I was the Doctor" I smiled back. "Now we know how strange I am."

"I think those are nice dreams" Nessie's eyes sparkled.

"Their part of my few human memories" I shrug.

I wonder, if he were real, what the Doctor would think of my people. Of the hundreds of vampires that walk among the earth, sucking life from innocent creatures. He would probably think us to be an abomination, something that should never be. He would probably be right...we cheated death. It wasn't all by choice though, like with the Cullens. We were saved and we feed of animals, that made us humane. We think about humans, the pain they could be put through.

The Volturi may think that us being vegetarians is against our nature, but we're also thinking about others. We can survive and feed off animals which lets people live their lives. What is our place to decide if people should die? By feeding off of humans, we were soulless creatures. And I will forever keep my soul.

"Your one of those people, like Seth, that think innocent and beautiful thoughts" Edward whispered, looking at me with curiosity.

"What do you mean?" Bella asks, moving to stand beside her husband.

"She's like you love, she believes we have souls" he smiled at her.

"See, I'm not alone in the world" she smiled back in triumph.

"Well thoughts are meant to be private, some might be embarrassing" I said.

Edward shrugs, "I just heard the soul part, it kind of slipped through."

"Yep" I chuckled.
