Chapter 14: Elena: The Chase
The car chase wasn't going well, if you count being chased by an angry Krillitane behind you well, then you probably need you're head checked out. It took a dive at us and I let out a scream. "Ha Ha" Ashley laughed nervously. "I so didn't count on this happening today" when she said this, the Krillitane took another swoop at the car and I let out another scream. I looked at Ashley who was know putting the peddle to the metal.
"Why is this one after us?" I asked her and Ashley looked up at me "I mean, more than usual" at this Ashley let out a nervous laugh, but suddenly came to a realization.
"Should have known, should have known"
"What, what should you have known?"
"This isn't the first time the Krillitanes have been on Earth" Ashley explained and it took a few hours for that to sink in. "They infiltrated and disguised themselves as School Teachers at a School in England."
"What were they up to?"
"They were trying to crack the Skasis Paradigm"
"The what?"
"The Skasis Paradigm!" Ashley repeated "it's a god maker, with it you could literally make yourself a god if you cracked the code. Luckily it didn't work" I smiled at her and Ashley smiled back although her's was more of a nervous smile, like something more was going on.
"Did you stop them?"
"No" Ashley laughed "I wasn't even around at that time" she stopped and took a deep breath "my father did" when Ashley mentioned her father I noticed her nervous expression "but that was a long time ago, ages, he was a different person back then"
"By different person, you mean?"
"I mean literally a different person. Time Lords, my people, they have this ability to change their face when they die. Their whole personality, they can become a different person, sometimes they can change gender"
"Wait" I said nervously and the realization sunk in "you can change when you die, can you do that?"
"No" Ashley said and that shocked me "I could, but not anymore, I sacrificed my regeneration so my brother could have a happy ending" when I looked at her she said "long story, far too technical to explain. But look where that got me" I didn't care. I pulled her in for a kiss.
"We're in the middle of a car chase" Ashley said once she pulled away and I laughed
"I don't care, the car is still driving isn't it?"
"Yep" Ashley said and she focused on the on the road "I think the Krillitanes are still pissed off at what my father did. And luckily for me" Ashley laughed "I know what they are planning" she looked at me and gave a nervous expression "you may want to hold on, for this next part"
"Ashley?" I said nervously "what's?" I found out what she was planning, she got out of the car and almost immediately I took hold of the wheel. "What the hell are you doing?!" I called out of the window, She was holding onto the window and Ashley looked at the Krillitane who stopped in it's tracks.
"I don't know!" Ashley called back "this is my life!" and with that said she focused all her attention on the Krillitane "Listen!" Ashley called out, but the Krillitane wasn't listening "I am Ashley, Sister of Avatar Alex, daughter of the Time Lord known as the Doctor!" the Krillitane stopped when she mentioned that particular name, and when it did she smiled happily "ah!" the Krillitane let out a screech at her "oh come on you're species are still not pissed off at him are you?"
The Krillitane screeched again and Ashley didn't take that the wrong way "Ashley?" I called back getting very nervous "I don't think this is a very good idea!"
"Getting that" Ashley called back suddenly nervous "um, listen," she was now talking to the Krillitane "I'm a little busy here." she climbed back into the car and climbed into the drivers seat "drive!"
"But what about the alien?"
"I'm still working on that!" Ashley said "damn it. I really wish my brother were here" the Krillitane took another swoop at us and I let go of the wheel as I screamed, it surprised me. "ELENA!" Ashley screamed as the car swerved into the air and crashed and I fell to the ground unconscious. I could faintly hear the wings of the Krillitane landing, just before my vision blacked out.
