Human Nature- Part 3

After Martha had calmed down, she went on with her work, leaving me in peace. Then I remembered tonight was the party and it was getting dark. I immediately changed into a Tardis blue dress for the occasion.

Then I heard a faint scream. Martha! I ran to the window to see Martha running away and Jenny firing a shot at her. I must get to the dance. I thought as I ran out.

I hid behind the building and saw that a schoolboy was doing the same. I stood behind him, put my hand on my hips and said "Spying are we?"

The boy jumped and whirled around. "N-no miss."

I smiled and said "It's okay. I won't tell. I did the same when I was young. The difference was, I wasn't caught."

"Really?" The Boy said with a smile.

"Really, really." I said. "Now you better get going. I bet that Mr. Smith is already in there by now."

The Boy looked startled. "Yes Ma'am. And thank you." I smiled back. After the boy went inside, I waited for Martha.

I saw Martha rush up to the Dance and I ran up to her. The man collecting money said to Martha "Staff entrance."

Martha kept on going and said "Think again, mate."

Once in the dance, Martha and I spotted Joan. "I'll keep watch." I told her as Martha sat down. I stood near the table, not too far but close enough for me to be able to hear their conversation.

"Please. Don't. Not again." Joan said as Martha sat down next to her. I looked around for The Doctor and spotted him by the drinks.

"He's different than any other man that you have met. Right?" Martha asked.

"Yes." Joan said.

"And sometimes he says things that don't make sense. Like strange things like places you've never heard of, yeah? But it's deeper than that. Sometimes when you look into his eyes, you know, you just know that there's something else in there. Something hidden. Right behind his eyes. Something hidden away in the dark."

"I don't know what you mean. I-"

"Yes you do." Martha insisted. "I don't mean to be rude but the awful thing is that it doesn't even matter what you think. But you're nice. And you're lucky. And I'm just going to say sorry for what I'm about to do."

Then John Smith came over and said "Oh, now really Martha. This is getting out of hand. I must insist that you leave." Martha took out The Doctor's sonic screwdriver.

"Do you know what this is?" Martha asked. "Name it. Go on. Name it."

"John, what is that silly thing?" Joan asks. "John?"

John Smith takes the sonic screwdriver from Martha and holds it like it is foreign to him.

"That man from your journals. That's you." Martha says.

Suddenly the Family walks in. I run up to Martha and say "There here." Martha spins around just in time to see a man knock over a coat stand.

The man yells "You will be silent! All of you! I said silence." Then scarecrows start to walk in.

"Mr. Clarke! What's going on?" A man asks. One of the Family members that has taken over Mr. Clarke takes his gun, points it at him and he fires at it, disintegrating the man. Everyone screams.

Martha steps up to John Smith, takes the sonic back, hides it and says "Mr. Smith, everything that I just told you, forget it. don't say anything."

The older boy with the school uniform yells "We asked for silence!" I go and stand next to Martha. I will not let them hurt her. "Well then. We have a few questions for Mr. Smith."

Then a little girl comes up with a red balloon and says "No, better than that. The teacher. He's The Doctor. Heard them talking."

"You took human form."

"Of course I'm human. I was born human. So where you, Bains And Jenny and you Mr. Clarke. What is going on? This is madness."

"Oh, a human brain to." Bain's said. "Simple, thick and dule."

"But he's no good like this." Jenny says.

"We need a Time Lord." Mr. Clarke says.

"Easily done." Bane says. Bain's points the gun at John Smith and says "Change back."

"I don't know what you are talking about!" John Smith says.

"Change Back!" Bain yells.

"I literally do not know-"

Martha screams. I whip around and see Jenny holding a gun to her. "Martha!" I yell.

"Get off me!" Martha yells.

"Your friend is shaking." Jenny says. "Doesn't this scare you enough to change back?!"

"I don't know what you mean!" John yells at them.

"Wait a minute. The maid told me about Smith and the Matron. That women there!" Mr. Clarke goes for Joan and I step in the way.

"Don't you dare." I say. "You leave her alone."

"Then I'll shoot you to get to her." Mr. Clarke growls

"Susan!" Martha yells.

I smile and say "No you won't ." As he brings his gun up from his side I step the the side and push his arm away, go under it and twist his arm so the gun is pointed to the ceiling. The crowd gasps. Clearly they have never seen a women fight before. I smiled.

Then Baine comes up from behind and grabs me tight by the neck. I drop Mr. Clark as I struggle to breath. Bane pulled me over by Martha, who can breath. I glanced at her.

Then Mr. Clarke pulls Joan over anyway. Joan shoots me a grateful look for trying to stop this. I barely acknowledge it. I can barely breath. I just stare at John- The Doctor.

"Have you enjoyed it, Doctor? Being Human? Has it taught you wonderful things? Made you better, richer, wiser? Mmm? Then lets see you answer this. Which one of them do you want us to kill? Two Maids or Matron? Your friend...your colleague...or your lover. Your choice."

It's my last first day of high school!
