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.

14. Chapter 14

I swear, this story is almost done. I'll keep posting. Thank you all for sticking with me! it means so much!

"RIVER!" I shrieked. She bolted into the room and looked between the Doctor and me. She rushed over to the Doctor who was having a fit. She looked up at me.

"What happened?" she asked.

"I don't know…I just…I got mad…and he started bleeding…and…I don't know! Help him!" I sobbed.

"He's going into shock. Give me your hand." I put my hand in hers. "Now I want you to close your eyes and let your power out." I did this, but I couldn't get through the waves of emotion. Suddenly I felt another presence in my mind and realized it was Idris. She pulled back my thoughts and emotions like a curtain, and I pulled my power out, I gasped at raw energy consumed me, making me hot. After what seemed like forever, I felt Idris tug on my mind and whisper come on back out. You did it.I opened my eyes to see the doctor completely healed and Riversitting down on the floor, panting. "I'm sorry." I whispered, and bolted out of the room.

River found me a couple hours later. I had hidden in the boiler, behind the water heater. I had sobbed for a long time, uncontrollably. The time inside me had worried and tried to comfort me, but I had hurt him. River silently entered and slid down next to me. She wrapped her arms around me, and I started crying again. Shemurmured comforting words to me until I calmed down. I felt like I had done the most horrible thing ever. She pulled away slightly and looked at me.

"Hey, it's okay. You just made a mistake, and it's okay."

"But I hurt someone! Why did I do that?" I sobbed.

"Thathappens; you don't even know how many people I have hurt. I felt guilty for a long time, but then I realized that I had just made a mistake. And that's okay."

She led me back to our room and I fell asleep out of sheer exhaustion. In the middle of the night, I woke with a start. Something was wrong. Suddenly I felt something like cloth cover my face and I struggled as my mind grew blurry. And then I blacked out.
