Here is the next chapter. Enjoy!
The room fell silent and even the TARDIS itself seemed to quieten down. I was in deep shock. Or like the shock you feel when you see something horrible on TV. No this was a shock that proceeded to shake my world and all the others around me as well. It isn't every day you are confronted by alien beings, on a different planet that is under attack and told you are going to die in the process of saving the universe. It is especially shocking when the person telling you this information, is being deadly serious about the matter.
"Are you okay?" Amy asked as she laid her hand on my shoulder.
I was speechless. I just stood there, frozen, as the information played over and over again in my mind. Nothing seemed to want to sink in and I just didn't want to believe what I had been told.
"Come here," Amy said, as she pulled me into a hug, comforting me like my Mum couldn't do, because she wasn't here.
"Why did you tell him?" Rory asked, an accusatory tone in his voice.
"Because he had to know. Is it better for us to lie and tell him it is going to be all alright, or is it best to show him the way to go and help him as much as possible? Even if it means telling him something he doesn't want to hear? I have done some terrible things in the past and now it is time I do some right. This seems like a good place in which to start."
"He's right," the Doctor said, although it seemed to pain him in saying it. "We had to tell him. It is only right that Jason gets the opportunity to know the stakes that lie ahead of him. It is all recorded here."
The Doctor pulled around the TARDIS screen and there written in blue lettering, next to an image of me in my school uniform, were the details of my death date and death location. Wally then came over and also gave me a hug, when Amy had let go.
"Don't worry. We will help you. You won't die. The future is not determined by others, but by what you do."
Wally pulled back and gave me a confident look and clamped his hand on my shoulder.
"We are with you," he said with a smile.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world," Jack said. "I'll support you in any way I can."
"We are with you, aren't we Rory?" Amy said, as she jabbed Rory in the side.
"Yeah, of course we are. Ow, why did you have to jab me? I wasn't going to say no."
"That settles it then. We are all going to help you, whatever the cost," the Master said.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Who could that be?" the Doctor asked.
"I believe that is for me," the Master said.
He went over to the door and pulled it open slightly, peering out. When he was sure who it was, the door was opened fully. standing on the other side was a lady, not too much older than Wally and I. She wore a red tunic, covered in Gallifreyan symbols.
"Ah Oswin! What news?" the Master asked the new arrival.
