Mai Halo. That's my name. Well yeah, I thought so, but there's always more to these things. It's not like I didn't want to be who I was, I just didn't know how to react, and neither did they. It was a spare of the moment and I wasn't trying to kill us all, I wanted to kill the woman who destroyed my family. He never uses violence, but even he must understand why I did it. If this ever gets back to The Doctor, he must know I'm sorry. In the end I guess I did more living then dying. I was told I'd lose him, and I done exactly that. This is the story of how I found my real family and lost my time travelling one at the same time.
The Doctor had told me one day, all about Kovarian. What she done to Mels, and Amy and Rory. Her crackled smile appeared out of the shadows, walking forward. She had a eye patch on, with a scar running down below it.
"But you died..." Amy whispered walking forward, Rory holding onto her arm behind.
"Well dear it never happened. But now I'm here for my revenge."
"Well your not exactly powerful are you?" The Doctor spat at her. "The Silence abandoned you, because you were weak enough for River to capture you."
"This is my personal revenge Doctor. Your family will die, and before the child perishes, you will learn the truth." She hissed. "Starting with your spaceship." Her eyes locked onto The TARDIS. She took out a sonic screwdriver, exact to The Doctor's and buzzed it behind us, The TARDIS flying out into space, heading for a nearby supernova.
"NO!" I screamed, running forward. "I didn't lock the shields on! They're gonna burn!"
"Mai, were safe, The TARDIS doesn't matter as long as were together." The Doctor said, pulling me back.
"NO THEY WERE ALL IN THERE!" I looked at him, crying. "I'm so sorry, I've killed them."
"Who?"
"You had been taken, and I didn't know what to do, so I thought of all those people you said you'd need and I went and got them, to help."
"Who was in there?" He snapped.
"Jack, Gwen, Martha, Mickey, Sky, Clyde, Rani and Luke." He froze and fell to the floor onto his knees looking out at the supernova, The TARDIS hurtling for it. "AARGH!" I shouted, flying forward at Kovarian, knocking her to the floor and taking the screwdriver out of her hand, pointing it outside, trying to bring it back. "Doctor. I'm so sorry." He looked up at me, tears in his eyes. He got up off the floor, ripping the wires from the machinery, helping River up.
"Doctor?"
"It's ok sweetie, I'm here." He murmered, helping her onto her feet, shooting my a icy glance.
"Doctor please!"
"Leave it Mai. Don't talk to me."
"What's going on?" River asked, managing to stand.
"I needed help to get to you guys, so I got some people together, but Kovarian sent The TARDIS into a supernova, and they're still inside. AND I'M SORRY I REALLY AM, I WAS ONLY TRYING TO PROTECT YOU, JUST LIKE THEY WOULD!" I shouted, out of breath "I am so so sorry Doctor."
"You put them all in danger!"
"To save you!"
"Why would you care?"
"I do. You showed me so many things."
"You threw them back in my face! Just go home."
"What back to all that? Are you serious?"
"Yes. GO!"
"Please don't, Doctor!"
"The first time we met... Oh I bet you are just like her." He spat at me.
We all looked round to the sound of whirring engines and the wind blowing through us, and there it stood. The TARDIS, barely scratched. The doors opened and everyone walked out, ready for battle. Jack and Mickey ran over to Kovarian, aiming guns at her, Luke and Sky examining the machinery River had been wired up to.
"Doctor!" Martha exclaimed hugging him.
"How did you escape?"
Then, 3 more people walked out of The TARDIS, a tall thin man with spikey hair, a blonde woman and a ginger woman. They all grinned at The Doctor, and he stared back in awe.
"Ok." He gulped. "For once, I'm not gonna do the whole this is impossible talk." He smiled weakly at them. "So this is easier to work out, we know have 3 timelords, well part timelords but oh well!"
"Hey what about me!" Donna piped up.
"You remember?" He asked.
"Yes. Well I guess I am. How did I know that? Look there's something coming, and you have to trust me."
"Are you joking? After that?" He said, pointing at me, looking round. "How could you?" He hissed at me.
"Doctor, you have to do this."
"Why should I trust her though?"
"You told me to trust you all those years ago, remember?" Donna said calmly to him.
"5." Kovarain said bitterly.
"What?" He asked, everyone looking at her.
"5 timelords." She cackled.
"Oh shutup you!" He said, turning back to Donna. "What's coming?"
"The Silence." Rose said. "The TARDIS told us, said you'd know. They're giving you death but you'll need life."
"Your gonna die as a time traveller..." I said, remembering those words.
"Didn't I tell you to leave?" He hissed at me.
"You need me here and you know it."
"No I don't!"
"I didn't bring them here for nothing!"
"They all could have died!"
"FOR YOU!"
"No wonder your mother didn't want you."
"How dare you?" River spluttered quickly. Everything went quiet, we all stared at her before I screamed out in pain. I looked around me, a electrical field dragging me into the machinery, locking me in. "They're burning her time travel cells, we have to get her out!" She shouted.
"There's nothing we can do River! She'll be fine!"
"NO SHE WON'T!" She screamed, crying.
"She'll go back to being human again, she'll be ok!" The pain surged through me, Kovarian screaming with laughter.
"Oh little Melody Pond, it's time to tell your secret you've spent 15 years trying to protect from me! It's been 16 years since she married you Doctor, not a few months!"
"What?" He whispered, he pulled River back as she tried to rush forward to me again. "River, why? She'll be ok, it will kill you!"
"But it will kill her too! She's been time travelling all her life!"
"No she hasn't? How could she have been?"
"She was placed under a witness protection scheme by The Shadow Proclamation when she was born!"
"And how the hell do you know that?"
"Because I put her under it!"
"WHY?"
"BECAUSE SHE'S OUR DAUGHTER!"
My whole world fell slowly, going into slow motion. I was shocked again by the electric, screaming out. River rushed over to my side, putting her vortex minipulator on my wrist.
"What the bloody hell is that for?" I started to glow gold, the machinery letting me go and I started to float into the air. "Am I regenerating?"
"No. I don't think it's that." The Doctor mumbled. Millions of Silent creatures appeared, eletric shooting from their hands, aiming for everyone.
"GET OUT!" I shouted to them. "The ships gonna blow!"
"We have no bloody weapons, how is it gonna blow?"
"Like Rose said... We need life." I said, taking the key of life necklace off, and holding it in the air. "And I've got just that."
"How did you get that?" Kovarian screamed. "ABANDON SHIP!"
"MAI DON'T YOU DARE!" The Doctor shouted at me.
"Your gonna have to get out pretty quickly!" I said, putting in the coordinates on the vortex minipulator. "GERONIMO!" I shouted, squeezing my eyes tight shut and throwing the key fiercly into the machinery, bright lights flashing everywhere. The ship blew up into flames, and I saw them just get out on time.
6 months later...
I snuggled up with a blanket on the bench in the back garden. It was late, and I had lit some candles. There was a meteor shower a few miles away, and I hoped maybe I would see a little blue box flying past. He abandoned me. He flew off in that little blue box and abandoned me. And I was sorry for what I done to his friends, but they would have done the same. I had found my real family, and lost my time travelling one. Turns out they were the same in the end. And River let them take me away, so now I understand why Sarah hid us underground everytime there was a Dalek invasion.
"I hoped I'd see you, that's why I watch the showers." I said, looking up at the sky. Out of the corner of my eye I saw The TARDIS arrive. The Doctor, River, Amy and Rory stood just out of the door, The Doctor the only one not smiling at me. I looked round at them, trying not to cry.
"How long has it been?" Rory asked.
"6 months."
"Sorry it's been so long sweetie." River said, smiling weakly.
"I've kept myself occupied with the baby."
"BABY?" Amy spluttered.
"Sadie's pregnant." I chuckled. "About 5 months?"
"Who she having a baby with?"
"Charlie."
"Didn't know they were together?" River said.
"They got together a while after I got back."
"You guys are only 15."
"They're happy, that's all that matters." I sighed. "I still can't get my head round it." I said, nodding to The Doctor and River.
"Neither can I." The Doctor said after saying silent so far. "And I'm not planning on either. We've come to say goodbye."
"Doctor she's our daughter, you were happy enough before you knew to let her stay with us..."
"Before she nearly killed all my friends!"
"Oh, what and you'd rather I left you two to die there? And let The Silence and Kovarian destroy the universe? I'm sorry they nearly died, but they didn't did they?"
"We are staying well away, you will not see us again."
"DOCTOR!"
"Go inside." He said firmly, pushing Rory and Amy inside The TARDIS.
"Doctor please..." River cried.
"Goodybe Mai." He said, dragging a crying River inside.
"Bye Dad." I whispered.
The TARDIS flew off into the night, leaving me all alone in my back garden, in the massive care home with just me. My parents had abandoned me for the second time, and I had lost both families I had ever known. I was lost in the world. I looked up at the sky and watched the stars twinkle, tears streaming down my face.
