Hello all! Sorry, been busy, so I didn't have time to update. I'm going to try to update every other day. pleeeeeeaaase review! I'm sorry again for the late update. Disclaimer: listen, I know I made you wait like 4 days, but don't call me Steven Moffat for that, okay? I'm not making you wait THAT long.
"No, no, no, I won't do it!" I yelled at him. He started to open his mouth to say something back, when a voice spoke up.
"Doctor." In that one word was contained all the pain and love and joy and fear she had ever felt for him. She walked up beside me and stared down at him with tears in her eyes.
"River," he breathed as slid down onto the bed. He winced and turned his face away from her, "Don't look at me. I never wanted you to see me like this." But she slid her hand onto his cheek lovingly and turned his face towards hers. Then she leaned down and kissed him, slow and passionately. She slowly pulled away.
"I'll love you no matter what. I don't care what you look like."
He smiled a bit and then his body convulsed. He cried out as pain racked his body.
"Get out!" He screamed at us, "I don't want to hurt you!" I hesitated. "GET OUT!" He looked right at me and I saw the fear in his eyes. And I ran. I ran out of the room and ended up next to River who just stood there with her hands over her mouth. We all watched helplessly as the doctor's body quaked with throbbing pain. After too long he became motionless. The heart monitor was still beating the incessant rhythm of his hearts, so I knew he was still alive. All that could be heard besides the heart monitor was the steady beeping of the cyber technology on the Doctor. Then he shifted and slowly sat up. His head was dropped so his hair fell like a curtain in front of his face. I stepped forward to the glass and asked one word.
"Why?"
He slowly looked up at me and right then I knew that that wasn't the doctor.
"Why?" I asked again.
"Because," he said in a voice that instantly gave me chills, "the last of the time lords as a cyber planner? How could we miss the opportunity?" He smiled and I wanted to run and hide.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the cyber planner."
"What's a cyber planner?"
"Why do you care? You're all going to die anyway."
"Tell me."
"I control the Cyberiad. The whole of the cybermen."
He shivered a bit and then got up and paced the room, muttering things about humans being stupid. He turned away from me and I heard him say, "The doctor was a pointless existence anyway. He only caused pain to everyone around him."
"He was not pointless! He's saved billions and billions of lives and YOU are the pointless existence! You are horrible! Why don't you just die!" I roared at him. I blinked and noticed everyone was staring at me, even the cyber planner.
"Keep lots of guards and a few nurses in here at all times." River ordered and guided me out of the room. She led me down the hall out onto what I guess was the observation deck and sat me down. After a few quiet minutes I turned to her.
"Why was everyone staring at me?"
River looked confused and then said, "Well, because you acted like you were responding to him, but he never said anything."
