CHAPTER 10
I do not own Doctor Who and I am making no profit off of this.
Thank you for all of your favorites, follows, story alerts, and reviews!
The Weeping Angels were running in terror from something that scared even them. Their numbers were dwindling by the moment as they were slowly being destroyed one by one. Not even their quantum-lock could save them from destruction. Their destroyer was blinking, but this still gave them no chance to escape. They knew that nothing could save them now.
"You thought that Jenny was the one that you had to fear? You made a huge mistake! The most feared being in the entire universe is a mother fighting to protect her child! So right now that makes me your worst nightmare!" the Rose Tyler from the present day shouted at them.
She methodically destroyed each and every one of them until there was only one left. She pulled the remaining angel to her telekinetically and grabbed it by the throat.
"Speak!" she commanded it as she rearranged its vocal cords so that it could now speak.
"This is futile. We will not return your daughter to you no matter how many of us you destroy. We have foreseen what she will do to us. She will one day wipe all of us out unless we stop her here now when she is at her weakest. She must be lost forever so that the future we have seen will not occur," the Angel said.
"You'll still all die though. Nothing was going to happen to you before you started to change things. What you saw was nothing but a possible future not a certain one. That's changed now though. Now you've made it a virtual certainty. If you don't stop right now, it will happen! Trust me I know. I can see all possible futures. What you've done is make things worse. Much worse! You've made Jenny so upset by tossing her through time and space that you're making her think about breaking the laws of time in order to feel a sense of control. She's approaching a turning point in her life now that could possibly send her on a terrible path. Do you understand? What you're doing may make her a threat not just to you but to all of time and space! If you don't stop this, you're going to make her into a threat just as bad if not worse than the Master was!" Rose said as she shook in fear at the thought of her daughter turning into a renegade.
"You lie! You would do anything to protect your child," the Angel said.
"Yes, I would. I don't just want to protect her from you though. I also want to protect her from herself. None of this was supposed to happen to her. You're changing time as we speak. Time is being rewritten! The future Jenny is now remembering things that never happened to her originally. She even feels like that these new events were supposed to happen. My future self is telling me this in growing alarm through the Bad Wolf. She realizes now that Jenny's timeline is being gradually altered. I will not have her life destroyed by your interference. You aren't saving yourselves at all by what you're doing. You're ensuring your destruction with each passing moment!" Rose warned him.
She touched her hand to the Angel's forehead and for a moment it could see what she could. The Angel saw a universe ruled by an iron fist and at the head of that universe was an older Jenny who determined moment by moment what would happen throughout all of time and space.
This future Jenny would change the laws of time at a whim if it suited her. She didn't care about the consequences to others if she was doing what she thought was right. She wasn't evil just terribly misguided. She would do what she thought was best and by doing so she would control everyone and everything so that no one would or could ever control her own life ever again!
The Angel knew that this was a future that was rapidly approaching now. The turning point for Jenny was coming soon. She had to be stopped now before it was too late. The Angel finally realized what Rose had been trying to tell him.
"Tell the others to allow her to come back to me now before it's too late!" Rose commanded the Angel.
The Angel nodded as he left to go convince the others to let Rose Tyler have her daughter back. Rose hoped that it wasn't already too late.
In the future, Past Jenny broke into the Matrix with the Crown of Rassilon and started to use it to find out what would happen to her sister, Sarah. She thought that the Matrix would now respond to her commands because the future her was now Lady President. They both had the same brainwave patterns after all.
The Matrix was not fooled however. It started to violently reject her. Incredible pain shot through her mind as it tried to force her into removing the Crown.
"You will not stop me. I will save her. I will not be denied!" Jenny screamed as she summoned the power of the Vortex and used it to override the Matrix's own will.
"Jenny, stop! Please!" Sarah said as she saw that Jenny was starting to see her future.
This was the turning point. What happened now would change Jenny forever for better or worse.
Jenny hesitated. She could hear the fear in Sarah's voice. She realized that Sarah was more afraid of what would happen from her knowing the future than she was of being a Weeping Angel forever.
"Please don't do this, Jenny. Don't you remember the story that Dad told us about how he tried to change a fixed point in time and made things worse instead? Don't make the same mistake. You don't even know for sure that I'll stay this way. Even if I do, I'm okay with that. Take the Crown off. Stop this now! I don't want you to become like Uncle Koschei. His life is a cautionary tale about what not to do. He thought that it was okay to do whatever he wanted to do too once. Don't become like him. This isn't you! You're a sweet, loving person who always thinks about others before herself. Don't ever change that! Please!" Sarah pleaded with tear-filled eyes.
"I am thinking about someone else. I'm thinking about you. I can save you," Jenny said defiantly.
Her tone wasn't as determined as before though. She was weakening. Her sister was getting to her. She was starting to reconsider her rash actions. She knew deep down inside that what she was doing was wrong. She had been ignoring that so far, but now she had no choice but to listen to that instinct again as it was being voiced by the very sister that she was fighting for.
"I don't want you to save me not if it means that it destroys you. I don't want that on my conscience. Once you break one of the laws of time, then you will break another one and another after that. Soon there won't be anything that you won't do. You'll be a danger to everyone!" Sarah said in a voice filled with emotion.
Jenny broke down and started to shake with pain and misery. She pulled off the Crown and threw it across the room.
"I just wanted to take back control for once. I just wanted to control something one time. I've been slung around through time and space against my will for what seems like ages now. I just want to go home! I'm tired of all of this!" Jenny said as she now openly wept.
She was close to having a nervous breakdown Sarah realized. She put her arms around her sister and tried her best to comfort her.
It was then that Jenny heard a voice that she had been waiting to her for so very long.
"I knew that you'd do the right thing. You're just like your father. He always does the right thing too," Rose Tyler said from somewhere behind her.
The two sisters turned to see their mother standing there. It wasn't their mother from this time though but Jenny's mother from the present day.
"The Angels have, uh, reconsidered their actions. It's time to go home, Jen!" Rose said with a wide smile on her face.
The Angels had changed their mind just a little too late for Rose to come here in time to stop Jenny, but luckily Jenny still did the right thing anyway. Her terrible fate was averted by the positive interference of someone else. Jenny had been saved by a future daughter that Rose didn't even know yet. She looked at Sarah and smiled. She already loved her with all of her hearts already, and she barely knew her!
Jenny looked at Rose with a wide smile as tears of sorrow changed to tears of joy. She had never been so happy in her life!
Next: Jenny says her good-byes to her future family as she finally gets to go home!
In the near future: A new direction will start for this title as Jenny meets someone who will soon play an important role in her future!
