Chapter 6
Unknown Character's POV
I inwardly squealed. I'd always wanted to say that. I laughed at The Doctor's look of confusion. Everyone looked at me strangely. The part of my brain that was actually working right now noticed that I was doubled over laughing and everyone was just staring at me. I straightened up, choking off my laughter by covering my mouth and biting my lip "What's so funny" Magnus asked from his spot beside Alec. 'OMG His eyes are even better in person' I was fangirling so hard it wasn't even funny. I almost laughed out loud again but just barely managed to control myself "Fate" I replied vaguely.
"Who are you? You're not River, and where are we?" The Doctor asked straight to the point. As always "Well I would hope not. I'd never shoot you. But to answer your question Doctor, My name is Samantha Nightowl and you happen to be in Kirkfield Ontario located on Earth. It's about 3pm on September 8th 2016" I was still standing in the doorway to the TARDIS, I took a few steps forward.
"How did you know who I was? and how did you know that River tried to shoot me?" My smile disappeared. 'Idiot. Why did you have to say that? They can't know who they really are. It could be disastrous' "I can't tell you" 'Real smooth there Sam' Magnus narrowed his cat-like eyes, I dropped my gaze to the floor. "Why not?" 'Oh no there's no way I can lie to this group'. I tried another deflection "I just can't, You wouldn't understand" I realized too late that was the wrong thing to say. Everyone look at me as if I'd just said that Nico liked to wear rainbow boxers, Magnus made a noise in the back of his throat. I looked back up from admiring my shoes. "I wouldn't what?" He said incredulously "Listen_" he tried to say before I interrupted " Shut up Magnus Bane. Just shut up" I gasped, clamping my hand across my mouth. 'Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.' I expected to be blasted where I stood but Magnus looked like he'd been slapped. "I - I'm sorry. I- I didn't mean to say that" I stuttered out
"That's the second time you've said someone's name without anyone being introduced to you. Is there something you'd like to share?" Jace said from across the TARDIS. He'd been just standing there watching the chaos unfold. "Like to. Yes. Is there something I can tell you. No. well not unless I want the world to end, or to see 15 of the bravest heroes ever break down" "What do you mean?" The Doctor asked from his place at the control panel.
I sighed. I stepped back out to look up at the sky. Still blue. I guess the gods or the angel, either haven't realised or just don't care. I took another deep breath, stepping back into the TARDIS "Are you sure you want to know? Like really really sure?" I said, acting like a child. I was met by a round of exasperated nods and screams of 'Yes' I took another deep breath. Silently praying that I wouldn't get blown off the planet for this.
"Okay. I know all your names actually and almost everything about you. A lot of people do because⦠you're not real." The TARDIS erupted into noise from most of the group. The Doctor looked like he was trying to figure something out and Nico was just staring at me. Surprisingly I wasn't unsettled by the eye-contact. "What do you mean?" Nico asked me. I took another deep breath before continuing. "I mean you're fictional characters, or you were, I guess you can't be fictional if you're standing right here. Somebody thought you guys up. The idea of you, who you are, what you stand for, it's all been put together as "Fantasy"" I made air quotes around the word fantasy "for people to enjoy" I looked around at the assembled group nervously.
Izzy made an angry noise in the back of her throat. "That's sick. All the emotional trauma we've gone through is being sold to the mundies for their enjoyment" I shifted on my feet. "I'm sorry about Max" I said quietly. somehow I thought that if she knew that I didn't get enjoyment out of the bad things she wouldn't be so angry. Izzy had gone pale and I saw out of the corner of my eye that Alec had squeezed Magnus' hand. Jace was just glaring at me across the room.
"Prove it" he said his voice dripping with venom. "Prove what?" I asked confused. "Prove that you know all about us. Tell us something about someone in the room that no one knows" Psh. Easy. "Who?" I asked he scanned the room then pointed to The Doctor 'Oh this is too easy' I thought. I smirked at Jace before looking to him silently asking permission. He just nodded.
He wasn't paying much attention. He was just fiddling with the controls. I noticed that was sort of a nervous tick. He would look around at everyone then continue to 'work' on the console. I knew he wasn't really doing anything, just keeping his hands busy.
"Okay than, Doctor. Grew up on Galifrey. During the The Last Great Time War he made a decision that cost the whole planet. He put an end to the war and saved the whole universe from burning at the hands of the Dalek- well rhetorically speaking, Daleks don't have hands. But at the cost of his own people. He ran off in the TARDIS and has been running ever since.- well as he himself once said he's not running away from things he's running to them before they flare and fade forever. he's lived a long time and he's seen a few things. Although through all he's been through he's managed to keep this childish joy when faced with something new and he's kind, the years never made him bitter just very kind. Every now and then he meets someone who is different than the rest. He makes them his companion and they travel through time and space at his side. Hmm at this point in your timeline you just lost Rory and Amy, didn't you?" He just nodded only meeting my eyes for a second. I could see it though, it must have been fairly recently because I could see the sadness in his eyes. "I'm sorry." I muttered " He's been married of course, to Dr. River Song aka Melody Pond. But that in a nutshell is the Doctor, There's obviously more to say, in 1200 some odd years he's seen much more but we don't have all day."
I turned to the Doctor talking out loud but silently saying that it was addressed to him. "They'll strike soon and we have to be ready when they do, 'cause this is one fight you can't win with just your wits and a sonic."
