Hey guys I still don't own doctor who the BBC won't give me the rights ,I've ever offered them cookies!
Sunlight gradually crept through the bedroom windows waking the Master up from a deep sleep.
She had expected to wake up inside the TARDIS , in a maximum security prison cell , like the Doctor's 10th regeneration had threatened to do.
But she was still free and the Doctor wasn't there, which was confusing he had been with her last night. Oh ... the Master could feel her face grow red with embarrassment at the thought of her breaking down in front of theta.
What he must think of her , acting like one of his silly little human females!
She pulled back the covers and dragged herself out of bed nearly tripping over her own feet. It wouldn't do to have him come back for her and see her looking like a 'lost puppy' waiting for him to 'save' her.
The Master quickly showered , and dressed in Clara's most fashionable outfit, the one she had worn when they had robbed a bank together, the master smiled at the memory oh what fun they had.
If the Doctor came back, she would be ready for whatever he had planned for her
The master scrutinized her latest incarnation's reflection in the mirror, to say she was disappointed with herself would be an understatemen.
she frowned at her reflection which didn't look frightening at all ,it just made her look like a Betty Boop lookalike making the Master want to gag.
Being 'cute' was the last thing she needed now , the Doctor barely respected her as it is without her being so short, and...Kawaii!
On the dresser next to a framed photograph of herself and the doctors 11th incarnation posing with the Beatles, lay a blue envelope with her real name written in circular gallifryen.
A small smirk crept across the Master's lips, oh doctor you sentimental old fool.
She hastily tore open the Tardis blue envelope and started to read her letter.
Dear Koschei
I know saying that I'm sorry won't change what happened to you because of me, but I am, I'm so sorry.
I don't deserve forgiveness and I don't expect it either. If I had tried I might have reached you before the time lock closed, but I didn't ,I didn't even try.
I never listened to you when you complained about the noise in your head. I should have , I should have done something. I don't blame you for the things you did and said , I don't think you had much control over your actions.
I have tried for years to control your life, to do you choose what I want you to do.
This is why I'm leaving, so you can choose who you want to be, I hope you're happy in the end my dear friend .
Know that I have finally accepted you for who you are, something that I haven't been able to do , mostly because I know how wonderful you could be if you tried.
Whatever you choose ,it'll be your choice not because of the drums and not because of me.
Good bye
Theta.
The master felt like something was stuck in her throat, was this what the humans called a panic attack? Of all the stupid things for the idiot to do!
He really thought she blamed him for getting trapped in Gallifrey , he wasn't able to save his self how in the multiverse was he supposed to save her?
How was abandoning her going to help ?
What was she to do without him in her life?
After all the years of plots and fighting she had grown dependent on him , he was her drug addiction.
The master's vision blurred with unshed tears, slowly what the doctor had said began to sink in.
He had gone away so she'd could become her own person .Something she would never be able to do with the doctor there to impress.
The doctor was giving the master, her life back and trusting her to make the right choice.
He believed in her.
That was something she had always wanted and needed from him, and one of the reasons she had always envied his sweet companion's.
The master still felt disappointed with the doctor's decision, despite all their petty disagreements he was still very dear to her and she would miss him.
She sat on the bed for a long time lost in thought, thinking of face changing androids and the sea devils, of the fearless brigadier the doctor's faithful tin soldier. Of porridge the wise, but reluctant emperor who wanted Clara as his bride, and robin hood fighting injustice, who reminded the master so much of the doctor.
Maybe the doctor was right in his faith in humanity, these humans had proven that they could not be controlled and would be free or die trying.
It was time she did the same, she was finally free of the drums influence, she could do anything she wanted.
The master closed her eyes and thought about what she wanted more than anything else in the world .
She wanted...a souffle.
Like the one's Clara's mom had made her when she was a little girl , oh how she missed her mom!
She suddenly realized that time lady or not she was still Clara Oswald , as impossible as that might seem .
She smiled to her self as she gathered the ingredients for her mom's recipe, for the first time since she had regained her memories she felt content with being herself.
And for the first time the souffle turned out perfectly!
Danny was to come over in a few hours for their date that evening , she thought about canceling just so she wouldn't have to face him ,but that wasn't fair to Danny .
He was kind and funny not to mention gorgeous and deserved better.
The least she could do was tell him the truth.
The master dreaded the thought of telling Danny who she really was, he'd never understand . He'd hate her like Lucy did.
Danny arrived all smiles and eagerness , Clara put on her best fake smile as they set down to the dinner she had cooked.
"wow, you cooked my favorite meal, thanks ,clara, what's the occasion?" Danny smiled warmly at her.
"There is something I need to talk to you about" the master cleared her throat , trying to look more confident than she felt.
" I'm listening " his face went serious and her leaned in a little ,like he was expecting to hear the latest gossip.
"well to begin with I...I lied to you , I never stopped traveling with the doctor" she paused, waiting for him to yell at her.
"I know clara , I can tell when you'relying to me".he smiled sadly.
"there's more, I...I used to be someone else , I was insane, and evil and I liked it!
And..and I killed a lot of innocent people , the doctor ...was my friend, we..we grew up together." Clara took a short breath and continued her confession.
"you see there was a war on my planet a terrible war and...it changed my people to the point that nothing was more important than their survival ...they planted a link in my head when I was eight years old to save themselves and it drove me insane and ...I turned on the doctor ... I was so mean to him " the master looked down in shame
"So... your an alien like the doctor is ? " Danny asked .
"Yes , although not as nice " the master laughed bitterly
" I'd rather have you any day " he smiled at her .
"What's wrong with you ? I just told you I killed people , good people who never did me any harm , I'm a bad person!" By now there where tears in her eyes .
"So have I Clara , am I a bad person ? " Danny asked as he brushed her tears away .
"Of course not , your one of the best humans I have ever met " she sniffled
"Well your wonderful and I don't care about what you did in the past I accept you for who you are now , Clara Oswald " Danny leaned over and kissed her tenderly making Clara's hearts flutter with happiness .
It was enough, even if the doctor didn't ever come back she had Danny , and as long as they where together everything was gonna be just fine .
that it for now I'll update this as soon at I can ,I hope you liked it so far please leave a review tell me how I'm doing and if you have any good ideas I'll be sure to use them , happy Easter guys !
