I run through the door with the Doctor and Tony hot on my heels. I hope that they know my mind is made up. Soon I'll be with Milo again. I know some people would see this as selfish, but in my world, I have to save my brother. And if he's not the one to die, I have to be.
I find myself in a large room, similar to the one I was just in. The smell of fuel is overpowering, seeping from the gigantic drums of what I can only assume is oil and I can hear the Doctor screaming.
"Anna, please! Don't do this! Don't you dare leave me! Not again!"
I push back the tears and duck behind a drum. Its like a maze in here, I think. There is no way he could find me in here!
A hand grabs my shoulder. Well fuck, I spoke too soon.
"Anna, I am begging you, please do not do this. I can't loose you again." The Doctor says, shaking my shoulders.
"Doctor, what other option do we have? We both know I wont let you do what I'm about to do!" I say.
"But maybe there is another way-" the Doctor begins, but I interrupt him.
"You and I both know there is no other way."
"Anna, you're being dim." Tony says. That's it.
"I'M BEING DIM! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE THINGS ARE CAPABLE OF DOING! THEY KILLED EVERYONE IN OUR RACE! EVERYONE! THERE IS NOTHING LEFT! I WATCHED THESE THINGS MURDER ALMOST EVERYONE I LOVED! I WATCHED THEM ANNIHILATE EVERYTHING THAT I CALLED HOME AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME DIM FOR BEING AFRAID THAT THEY WILL DESTROY THE LAST THING I HOLD DEAR TO ME! REALLY TONY!" I scream in his face. There's no use trying to hold back the tears now, because they are streaming down my face at full force. There is silence except for the humming of the ship. The boys just stare at me, Tony like he has just been struck with a brick and The Doctor like I have just ripped his heart from his chest. I know why. He has never seen me break like this. I'm usually really good at keeping this kind of thing in. but I can't, not anymore. I still have my sonic blaster clutched in my hand. Suddenly, a plan forms in the back of my mind.
The Doctor moves gingerly towards me.
"Anna, its going to be ok. We can fix this. Just don't do anything rash." He says.
"What? Like this?" I say. I shoot one of the drums, then another. And soon the room is up in flames. I see another door and run to it, the flames nipping at my ankles as I run, with the Doctor and Tony following closely behind. Tony is shouting profanities and the doctor is yelling for me to stop. But I cant stop. I reach the door and press my ear to it. I can hear the muffled screams of a young woman. Martha. I fling the door open.
Martha is tied to a chair with a gag over her mouth and 3 Daleks crowd around her. They spot me.
"Who are you?" one of them says.
"Me? I'm Anna. I have something you need. You need a Time Lord's energy? How about a Time Lady?" I say. I hear footsteps behind me. The Dalek raises its gun.
"NO!" The Doctor screams.
"EXTERMINATE!" the Dalek cries.
And just like that, my world goes black.
