"Oi, you demon!" came the cry from behind Andy. The Doctor looked up and gulped. The lynch mob had appeared. The women carried lighted torches, their faces screwed up in anger and hate. The men all carried some form of weapon, whether it had a sharpened edge, like a hunting knife, or a blunt end, like a pitchfork. Their faces seemed devoid of every emotion, but their eyes betrayed their fear and their anger. Looking back towards the village the Doctor even caught sight of some children following behind to try and see the outcast finally get her just desserts. They came slowly through the trees, but they moved with a purpose that got them closer than any of their speed. The Doctor had been at the receiving edge of crazed mobs such as this before and knew that the best time to run had been ten minutes ago. But as he looked towards Andy he saw, with shock and a rather sinking heart, that she had turned to face the mob, staring them down and practically daring them to come any closer.

The first man she levelled this gaze at came to a complete stop in the face of it. The man behind him walked straight into him, but all the others came to a halt beside him, some five metres from Andy. In his mind, the Doctor snorted in triumph. They were still terrified of her, even although they had at least forty men and she was all on her own. Apart from the conscience of a goddess inside her. Oh, and him, he supposed.

"Well?" she asked, her hands on her hips and drawing out the word. Silence. Complete and utter silence ensued. Nobody wanted to be the first one to talk to the devil woman.

"It's not here," she stated. The men and women looked at each other in confusion, "What you came to kill, it's not here," she explained, "I defeated it. It's gone." Silence again as the crowd thought this over. Then a harsh laugh came from among the women. Standing on his tiptoes the Doctor saw Merrick's mother laughing her derision at Andy's words.

"Nothing can defeat that thing," she shouted, "Not even the devil girl herself!" Some of the men suddenly had a murderous look in their eyes. The Doctor wanted to take a step back, but was stopped by Andy's words.

"Then what do you think of this?" He could have kicked himself for not seeing where she was going with this. Of course she was going to show them the scar. But surely she realised that this would only incite them to an even bigger fury. A scream of utter terror was emitted by some of the women, and even some of the men paled. The man who had been the first to stop fainted.

"It's the mark of the devil itself! It's inscribed itself into the devil bitch's arm! Kill her!" At first Merrick's mother's words incited only herself. But then the wind began to pick up, leaves began to fly through the air and the trees bowed almost double. Remembering where he'd seen this before the Doctor turned towards Andy. Sure enough the ground beneath her feet was glowing again, but this time her eyes were open. And her irises also seemed to glow, just a little bit.

"Your mouth always was too big for your own good, Marsaia," Andy's eyes narrowed, "But don't you worry about me. I'm leaving this world. You'll never have to fear me again. You can go about your ignorant little lives and eventually you'll forget all about me. But I leave you one warning: never go near the mountain. Only death awaits you there." She had them all spellbound, not just with her power but with her voice, which sounded reminiscent of Gaia's, and her eyes. In that second, the Doctor caught a glimpse of the Magi she could become. And he knew he would help her to achieve it.

Andy began to walk towards the villagers. Without a second thought, he followed her. When her hurricane of leaves drew near to the villagers they fell over one another trying to get out of the way of it. Women still screamed as the leaves came closer, even some of the men gave out cries of anguish, but the leaves never touched them, simply warded them off. Andy walked back down the path to the village square, one bare foot in front of the other, for once completely comfortable in her surroundings. Until she was out of the tree line. Then she stopped. The Doctor looked around her to see what she had stopped for. Matros stood in front of her, mesmerised and a little terrified of the scene before him. Andy seemed to consider him for a minute. Then she walked forwards and pulled her guardian into a hug. He barely had time to reciprocate before she pulled away and slapped him so hard that the crack could be heard by the mob in the woods behind them. Matros gave a cry of pain and looked up at Andy incredulously.

"You know why," she said simply, and walked off towards the TARDIS. The Doctor hardly approved of her goodbye, but wisely chose to say nothing. As he walked by Matros he could have sworn he heard him say,

"It was her!"

Returning his attention to Andy, he saw she had stopped outside the TARDIS. She seemed to be considering it, as she had considered Matros. The Doctor hoped she wasn't about to slap his ship as well. He hurried up to Andy, who turned and said,

"This isn't real wood, is it?" The Doctor was stumped. In all his years, nobody had ever bothered to ask if the TARDIS was made of real wood or not.

"No, it's just an image she projects, to keep herself hidden. But she could be anything. A wardrobe, a bath, even a tree." Andy nodded, a little uncertainly. The Doctor however, smiled.

"Just you wait til you see the inside of her though," he couldn't wait to see her face. She lifted an eyebrow expectantly. He hurriedly opened the door and ushered her in. With one last look at the planet she despised, Andy stepped inside the TARDIS. Her gasp was like music to his ears.

"It's…it's bigger on the inside!" He laughed and shut the door behind him…

And we are all done. I'm sorry if Gaia was too much to swallow, but come on the 10th Doctor went up against the Devil. It's totally been established that sometimes they have gods, right? Anyway, I was going to continue this into a series, Andy was going to go travelling, learn some hard lessons about leadership, get to know the Torchwood team and fall in love with Ianto. Then leave and finally find her planet. And everything from there til her death to. But...it's silly. And I have other fics that I want to write now. So I'm giving permission for someone to take over and write Andy's story, if they like. Totally fine if you don't. Either way I hope you had fun.
