Chapter 3

The Doctor walked into the TARDIS and said, "The siren is a prophetess and she has something to tell you three."

"Why?" asked Theresa.

"I don't know. Go ask her!" the Doctor snapped at her.

"Hey! Don't get snappy at me," said Theresa.

"I'm sorry, but I got some news that I don't like," said the Doctor.

"Well, okay then, don't do it again," said Theresa.

"It'll happen again. It's in my nature," said the Doctor.

Alex nodded and Harper said, "Yeah it is."

After that, the three humans left the TARDIS. The Doctor followed behind. His demeanor completely different from the time he first met the siren.

Sireus looked at the three humans and then back to the Time Lord. She went back to the humans and forced a smile. The Doctor went up to the three humans and said, "There is nothing I can do here. When she is done talking to you, get back into the TARDIS and we will go to the sub station."

"Why? That was fast," said Alex, "We usually do something to save people."
The Doctor didn't answer, but the siren said, "That's because there is nothing to save. Our time has come, but there is hope. It rests with you."

The Doctor silently walked back into the TARDIS. Theresa saw him walk inside. She wasn't around the Doctor as much as the girls were, but it didn't take a genius to figure out the Doctor was so unnerved he couldn't even hide it and when he said that there was nothing he could do, that worried her.

She turned back to the siren and siren told her, "The first is for you. You won't see it but these two girls will be very important in the days to come, but for completely different reasons, and I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" asked Theresa.

"The events that are to come and the losses you will suffer," said Sireus.

Theresa felt sick to her stomach and asked, "Is that all?"

Sireus nodded. Theresa walked back into the TARDIS and the two girls were left outside. Sireus looked at Harper and said, "You are the voice of reason in a time where there is no reason at all. You need to be ready when reason is needed."

"How will I be the voice of reason?" asked Harper.

"You will know," said Sireus. Sireus turned to Alex and said, "You are the most special of them all."

Alex was stunned when the siren said that. She asked, "What are you talking about? What do you mean that I am the most special one of them all."

"You are part of the key that can turn the tide. You are part of the key that will save us all," said Sireus.

"What key?" asked Alex.

Sireus walked up to Alex and looked at Alex's necklace. It was the one that had a key in the clock. The siren looked at Alex's face and said, "This necklace is going to be the answer for the Doctor when he is all out of answers. When all of his hope is gone, this will remind him of something that could reverse all of this and prevent the Slaughter from happening."

The siren walked back and from behind her a blast of orange fire rain down from the sky. When it hit the ground, the city exploded and collapsed. More fire blasts rained down on the planet. Sireus sighed and said, "They're here, but I told you what I needed to. Now go before you are caught in one of those blasts."

They both walked back to the TARDIS and went inside it.

The Doctor ran around the control console and saw what kind of ships were in orbit. His blood ran cold. He froze. Alex ran up to him and asked him, "What's attacking the planet?"

"Something we will worry about later. We have to get out of here," the Doctor said and he pulled a lever and the TARDIS was off again.

Sireus watched the TARDIS dematerialize and vanish. She looked up at the sky and saw a blasts of fire barreling towards her, and in an explosion that made the whole cliff collapse, Sireus was incinerated. After twenty minutes of bombardment, the planet was a burning cinder and the ships that were in orbit flew away searching for more life to that needed to be killed.

Waverly Sub Station

May 18

The TARDIS materialized in its normal spot in the restaurant, and the four of them exited. The Doctor said, "Let's all forget what happened on Night and just enjoy Alex's eighteenth birthday."

"That sound good," said Theresa and she walked off upstairs.

Harper and Alex stayed with the Doctor. Harper asked, "What was that all about?"

"I don't know, but I do know something is coming. There is a storm on the horizon and it will turn everything upside down, but let's not think about that know."

The Doctor's mind went back to the ships that he scanned and he knew it was impossible what they were, but they were there. They were there right in front of him. Alex and Harper walked off. They tried to forget what had happened. The Doctor continued to stand there. He knew the danger that was coming. The others couldn't even begin to comprehend it, but he knew, and he knew everything would start on Earth. Earth is the planet the that will herald the monsters that will come and kill the universe.

The End
