Chapter 21 Dalek Part 5
Re's PoV:
"Don't move! Don't do anything, it's beginning to question itself." I ordered Statten, and Goddard, as the Dalek, and I walked out of the elevator.
"Van Statten. You tortured me. Why?" The Dalek questioned Van Statten sliding closer to him.
"I wanted to help you, I just- I don't know, I - I was just trying to help. I thought if we could get through to you, if we could mend you- I wanted you better, I'm sorry." Statten talked terrified, and began to back away from the alien, who advanced towards him. "I'm so sorry! I swear! I just wanted you to talk!"
"Then hear me talk now. Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!" The Dalek readied to shoot the man until I rushed over.
"No! Don't do it! Don't kill him!" I insisted, and the Dalek turned it's head to me. "You don't have to do this anymore. There must be something else. Not just killing- what else is there? What do you want?"
He looked Statten again, but then back at me "I want freedom."
I smiled slightly, and nodded "Then I'll get you freedom."
The Dalek, and I walk out of the office into the floor 1 base, and the Dalek shot a hole through the ceiling. I grinned.
"You're out. You made it." I laughed slightly, and span around. "Never thought I'd see the sunlight again."
"How... does... it... feel?" The Dalek asked me, and I looked, and stepped in front of him, only kneel down.
"Why don't you find out for yourself." I spoke softly, and he opens up his armour. I looked at the Dalek inside, the alien looked like a mutated creature.
I jump suddenly when I heard a voice I stood up, and turn to see the Doctor.
"Get out of the way." He demanded me. I looked at him holding a gun, happy to see him, until I saw the gun in his hand. "Re, get out of the way, now!"
I refused to move, knowing that if I did he would kill the Dalek. "No Doctor" I gave him a sad expression "I won't because you will kill him, and I won't let you do that."
"That thing killed hundreds of people." He explained.
"Yes, but he isn't the one pointing the gun at me." I retorted.
"I've got to do this. I've got to end it. The Daleks destroyed my home, your mothers home."
As soon as the Doctor said that, I was washed with confusion "My mother?" I questioned him, but I quickly shook my head "wait no! Later!" I thought to myself out loud, and then looked at the Dalek, and then back to the Doctor "Look at it" I move slowly out of his way, so he could see.
"What's it doing?" He questioned confused.
"It's the sunlight, that's all it wants!" I exclaimed.
"But it can't..." He voice shook.
"Why can't it?" I asked sadly "It couldn't kill Van Statten - it couldn't kill me - it's changing. What about you, Doctor? What are you changing into?" I gestured to the gun.
The doctor slowly lowers his gun "I couldn't..." he looked like he wanted to cry, and I felt the urge to run up to him, and give him a hug. "I wasn't..." He looked away from me towards the Dalek, but soon came back to me. "Oh, Re. They're all dead."
I was about to respond to him, but the Dalek began speaking. "Why do we survive?"
"I don't know." He replied to it.
"I am the last of the Daleks." The Dalek announced, but I could tell it was having trouble speaking.
"You're not even that. Re did more than regenerate you. You absorbed her DNA. You're mutating." He explained.
"Into what?"
"Something new. I'm sorry." The Doctor apologised.
"Why?" I wondered out loud "Why are you sorry? Isn't that a good thing?"
"Not for a Dalek." He answered.
"What! why?" I was confused, but the Dalek began to speak, and I turned to it.
"I can feel so many ideas. So much darkness... Rebecca... give me orders! Order me to die."
I opened my mouth shocked by what I heard, The Dalek ordered me to kill him. "I... I can't do that" I stuttered.
"This is not life. This is sickness. I shall not be like you. Order my destruction! Obey! Obey! Obey!"
I closed my eyes while he told me to do it, and I took a deep breath, I never wanted to be the person to orders someone's death, even if they killed millions. "Then do it." I sneered at the thought of ordering it, and I felt like if I opened my eyes I would begin to cry.
"Are you frightened, Rebecca Wilson?" I heard the Dalek say, I nodded, and mutter a yeah.
"So am I." As soon as I heard that I opened my eyes, just as he said the word exterminate. I began to walk backwards, but soon turn to ran towards the Doctor, grabbing his left arm, not looking back at the Alien, I had ordered to kill itself.
…..
I leaned on to the Tardis eyes closed, and my arms crossed.
"Little piece of home." I heard the Doctor say sadly, and I opened my eyes to look at him.
"Is that it then the end of the time war?" I questioned him, and then looked upwards into space, remembering the people who died today.
"Yeah" he muttered, and I looked at him again, and turned my body to face him.
"You talked about my mother back then." I stated, and he looked at me. "What did you mean? By my mother's planet being the same as you?" I looked at him confused, but also determined to find out what he meant.
"He found you watch... well actually Smiths did, but he's seen your watch" Rose answered for him.
"What has my watch got to do with anything? And also where is it?"
"It's here" I saw Rose holding it in her right hand showing it to me. I held my hands out signalling her to throw it to me, which I caught. "Cheers, but can you answer my question?" I turned back to the Doctor.
"Your watch isn't a normal pocket watch." He began to speak, and took the watch out of my hands into his, and continued. "This watch is part of a chameleon circuit in a Tardis, that has the power to hold the essences of a timelord, and make them human" He explained to me.
"How do you know that?" I questioned. "It looks like, an ordinary watch, a broken one at that."
"How do you know it's broken?" He responded back.
"Because I cannot open it" I told him simply "It may work, but it won't open, so I don't know if it does or not, and can you answer my question on how you know its not human? Please."
He turned to stand beside me, showing me my pocket watch. "You see this engraving?" He asked me, and I nodded. "This is a Gallifreyian message, and on the back" He turned my watch over. "is the engravings of a solar system, the solar system that my planet was part of." He lectured, and I felt speechless. I shook my head slightly.
"What so are you saying that my mum is... was a time lord because I am sure that if the doctors found out, that she had two hearts, it may be a problem." I spoke out loud to get it into my brain. "But if that is true what am I then?" I looked away from the pocket watch, to the Doctor's face, waiting for him to answer me, but Adam soon came running up to us.
"We'd better get out. Van Statten's disappeared... they're closing down the base." Adam announced to us, as the doctor gave me my pocket watch back, which I held close to my chest, everything was hard to take in at this moment, but I wanted to know more, though I wasn't going to talk about it while Adam was around. "Goddard says they're going to fill it full of cement! Like it never existed!"
"About time" Rose had began to speak again.
"I'll have to go back home." Adam replied sadly.
"Better hurry up then. Next flight to Heathrow leaves at 1500 hours." The Doctor pointed out, and I looked away to notice Smiths down at the end of the corridor. She looked at me with a smile, and gave me a wave. I smiled, and waved back before she ended up disappearing before my eye, which caused me shock, but I soon recovered and began to hear Rose trying to get the Doctor to let Adam come along with us.
"Adam was saying that all his life he's wanted to see the stars..."
"Tell him to go and stand outside, then." I heard the Doctor reply, and I grinned at that.
"He's all on his own, Doctor. And he did help." Rose still tried to persuade the Doctor to let him come.
"He left Re down there!" He remarked.
"So did you" She retaliated.
"Hmm she's got a point" I joked looking back at them "but how exactly did he help? And if I have a say, I'm with the Doctor."
"What're you talking about? We've got to leave!" Adam exclaimed.
"Rose, he's a bit pretty." The Doctor told Rose.
"I hadn't noticed." I laughed at that.
"On your own head." He let Rose win, and decided to let Adam stay much to my dismay. The Doctor then unlocked the Tardis door, and allowed me to enter the Tardis first, with the others following behind, while also hearing Adam saying.
"What're you doing? She said 'cement'. She wasn't joking, we're going to get sealed in."
