I came out from backstage and searched for her. Where was she? I couldn't find her. I grabbed the kid nearest to me and asked, "Have you seen Lucy Goldheart?"
"She was taken by one of the Daleks." Henry Woods said.
"What?" I said. "Where is she?"
"Just outside." He said.
I ran past Henry and all the other people. I peered out the auditorium door and saw her. Crying on the floor with 5 Daleks surrounding her, probably trying to get her to explain Time Lord technology to them.
"You! Dalek!" I said.
"The Doctor has been detected!" a Dalek said.
"Mr. Smith!" she exclaimed.
"You won't get anything from her. She's human." I said. "Believe it or not."
"What do you mean she's human?" Another said.
"Yep, that's right." I said. "Human." (Only, I pronounced 'hyoo-man' for the sake of mockery.)
"Explain!" a Dalek said.
"Explain! Explain!" the five chanted.
"You shall explain or humans will be exterminated." A Dalek said.
"Her secrets are locked away in here." I said, pulling out an empty watch.
"Mr. Smith, what is going on here?" the principal asked.
"He will give Daleks the watch or humans will be exterminated." The Dalek repeated.
"Sir, I think you might want to take a step back." I said, but he didn't. He was gone with an "Exterminate!"
"Mr. Smith…" she sobbed.
"You want this?" I asked. "Why should I give you this?"
"We have ransom!" a Dalek said. True, there were kids lined up in the halls. Two tried to get away, but got exterminated.
"No!" I shouted.
"You will give us the secrets!" a Dalek cried. "10…" a kid was exterminated. Screams. Kids trying to get away were exterminated once more.
"9…" more screams.
"Stop it, stop it!" I shouted. "Leave them alone!"
"If you don't give us, doctor, the world will get exterminated!" a Dalek said.
"Exterminate, exterminate!" They all chanted.
"Alright, alright!" I said. "If I give you this, will you free all the children?"
"Yes." a Dalek said.
"And her?" I asked, gesturing to the girl.
"Yes." it said again.
"What do you even want it for?" I asked.
"To create a new generation of Daleks!" it cried. "With Time Lord technology, the Daleks will rule the world!"
"No." I whispered, pretending to be bewildered. "You can't! You don't even know how to use it!"
"That's why we need you, doctor!" it said. "The female is the ingredient and you know what to do! With you, we can win the Time War together!"
"No!" I shouted again.
"7…" screams.
"Hey, no fair, you didn't count 8!" I protested.
"6…"
"Stop!" I shouted.
"Give us the watch, doctor!"
"Alright then. Take it." I tossed it to a Dalek, who caught it. "Now let them all go!"
"You are dismissed." A Dalek said to the kids who were held in ransom.
"Lucy!" I shouted. She started to get up, but a Dalek said, "The female will be exterminated!"
She ran, fast as she could, but she was shot partly.
"No!" I screamed. I picked up her body now inside the barrier and went inside the auditorium with the kids. There were gasps as I lay her down.
"Vivien, Vivien, are you alright?" I asked. "Vivien!"
She opened her eyes slightly and smiled weakly. I cradled her, before she closed her eyes, slipping away from me. From time and space.
"Come back…" I sobbed, holding her. I put her down.
"Mr. Smith." It was Mr. Red, another teacher at the school.
I looked at her again, and her hair was glowing golden. Wait, I thought she was still in human form! The TARDIS had rewritten every cell of her!
The glow was all over her body now, and she suddenly opened her eyes. I ran to her.
"Vivien?" I said.
"I feel…" she said, her face in pain. Her breathing became faster, and I knew what was coming.
"Stay away!" I told people, as Vivien began to regenerate. Golden rays of light came from her, and I knew everyone was bewildered at the sight. The light was blindingly bright, and it was powerful.
She gasped, sitting up as the regeneration ended.
"Vivien, do you remember anything?" I asked, kneeling down in front of her.
"The Daleks. Mr. Smith, what happened to them?" she asked. Oh, so she didn't have her memory back.
"Doctor!" a Dalek said.
"What?" I yelled.
"You will bring the female or the Earth will be destroyed!" the Dalek said.
Vivien let out a whimper. I looked at her straight in the eye. "Sing, Vivien." I said.
