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.

13. Chapter 13

I have no excuse. Matt leaves in 3 days. Here you go.

I woke up with a start, not even slightly groggy. I stood up. River and Idris tried to stop me, but I was determined. I stormed into the Doctor's room.

"Come back to chat again?" the Cyberplanner said it like he was already bored with his game.

I slapped him. Hard. I saw the Cyberplanner slip away and the Doctor come up full force.

"Ow! Why would you-" I slapped him again, but not hard enough to trigger a change.

"Okay," he said slowly, "you're mad."

"Why did you do this to me?!" I screamed at him. I didn't even notice the angry tears running down my cheeks.

At first he was confused, and then he realized what I was talking about. "I…I…I couldn't let it die!"

"WHAT?" I roared.

"It was the first baby time in this dimension, I couldn't get it back to its parents, and it got stuck here. It's pure time, I couldn't let it die! I'M A TIMELORD!"

"But why put it in an innocent human child?"

"I didn't have a choice!" he yelled and tears spilled from his eyes as I realized that he was right. He couldn't have let it die.

"But you knew, you knew all along that one day, I would burn up. It was pointless!" I and the Time were both controlling now, both speaking. My voice started to have its same strange echo. "I am going to die anyway; you just put it off for a bit! HOW COULD YOU?" I screamed the last sentence, and the Doctor suddenly yelled. Fear clenched me and my anger disappeared. I saw blood staining his chest as he stared at me.

"What did you do?"
