The Doctor's Remorse

by Dragon123454

Ten years. That's how long it's been since I met him: The Doctor. Ten years since I saw that beautiful blue box, ten years since he asked me to help him, since we ran. Since we saved the world again, and then he left. I've missed him, but I had to move on. Some people have normal lives, and only a few are forced in. My name is Katherine, and I never expected to meet him again.

5. Chapter 5

I really can't explain how sorry I am. I feel like Steven Moffat. I swear I will be better at this. On the good side, Sherlock is finally coming out! in two months...January 19th. *cries*

The next day, I came into the Doctor's room to find River and the others were already arranged. I sat down in my usual seat next to River.

"Has he said anything?" I asked her.

"Nothing, just sitting there." she sighed and then looked at me.

"He's gone, isn't he?" I asked, feeling very much like a child.

"Oh, sweetie," she reached over and hugged me as my eyes filled with tears,"I don't know."

"You know what I don't get?" the voice of the Doctor startled me. "Why are you keeping me here? What do you expect to accomplish? To get your precious doctor back? Ormaybe just to keep me out of trouble."

I moved up to the window as he stalked forward to where I stood.

"Well, I hate to tell you," he sneered, "but neither is going to happen."

I never said anything, just held his gaze, staring right into his brown eyes. I must have stood there all day, because River finally pulled at my arm.

"It's nighttime." she said and walked over to the door. I looked just a minute longer into his eyes and then smiled menacingly.

"That's what you think." I said with a growl and then turned and swept out of the room.

I grimaced as I heard an annoying beeping. I reached over to click off my alarm clock when I realize where I was. I didn't have an alarm clock here. I shot up in bed and was surprised to hear nothing. I realized the sound was in my head. I bolted over to River and shook her awake.

"Something's wrong!" I told her.

"What's wro-" suddenly a klaxon started blaring, identical to the one in my head. River shot up and grabbed a gun that was under her bed. We both bolted into the hallway with River leading.

"What's going on?" she shouted at a passing soldier.

"Cybermen!" he yelled back. Fear coursed in my veins as we ran to the Doctor's room. I was a bit relieved to see that he was still there, but that relief vanished when I saw the smug look on his face. Soldiers were all facing the door with guns pointed out. No one was looking at the Cyber planner. I gave him a confused look and simply looked back at me from his seat with a horrible smile on his face. I heard a banging on the door and then it suddenly flew open. The air was filled with bullets, but none of them even slowed down the intruders. I turned to see, and I finally knew what a Cyberman was. A figure was standing in the doorway. It looked to be made completely made of metal with a handlebar helmet. TheCyberman strode forward hitting soldiers and sending them flying across the room. I saw River get knocked down by one and she lay still. But then she lifted her head slightly and looked at me. The leading Cyberman ripped the Doctor's door off of its hinges as the Cyber planner hopped up in a casual manner and followed the cybermen out. I was the only person still standing in the room. The cyber planner stared straight at me and then raised a single finger to his lips.

A dagger of pain exploded in my head and I collapsed on the floor. The pain kept coming and coming in waves. I thought I heard River say something and I felt her hands on me. But I couldn't see anything through the enormous pain. Eventually, finally, I passed out.
