Tick Tock
Goes the clock
He cradled and he rocked her
Tick tock

Till River Kills The Doctor
She remembers the horrible moment all too well.
Her breaths deep and echoing through her ears, her mind spinning, her stomach turning, and her heavy eyelids fluttering painfully open. She remembers the bubbles rising up around her. The tightness of being confined and controlled, it settled in her hearts like a thousand pound weight. She remembers the contrasting outward weightless feeling - the shifty ground and that sinking feeling when there should be floor beneath your feet but it turns out to be only air.
Or…water.
An astronaut under water.
Bubbles - more bubbles blur her vision.
She had struggled. Struggled oh so hard - to become River Song. To live her and love her because she's everything The Doctor wanted - and he was worth it…right?
Then why wasn't she strong enough to keep herself from becoming this? ? River Song had to be strong enough! ! To overcome this! !
Oh no…not brainwashed little Melody Pond
The words rang in her ears, over and over and over and over.
Even now.
She stood on the solid ground. And she saw the white, dark faced figure in the distance.
All of those past feelings ran through her head in a split second and left it spinning.
And she watched him walk away…knowing what would happen…that sinking feeling weighing on her again.
Why wasn't she strong enough to keep herself from doing this? River Song had to be strong enough to stop this…
Oh no…not brainwashed little Melody Pond
That didn't stop her from shooting at herself as she strood back among the bubbles. Even though she knew her attempts wouldn't be successful.
No…not on brainwashed little Melody Pond
Three more days till Saturday!
