Chapter Sixty Six

It happened during breakfast.

I got up, got ready, and walked down to the mess hall.

I looked older now. War ages you.

I got my food and sat in my seat, watching over everybody.

My fork was halfway to my mouth when I heard the noise.

The entire mess hall went silent.

In the middle of the room, in the aisle, there was a screeching booming noise, and a big, blue box shimmered in and out of existence.

I dropped my fork.

As it stopped and finally settled down, I stood up abruptly, my chair making the only noise as it scratched along the floor. I maneuvered around the table and ran to the doors.

One door opened slowly and the Doctor stepped out – and got tackled as I ran into him.

I held onto him. And I didn't let go.

...

The other angels filed out of the Tardis as I continued to hug the Doctor.

Slowly, I stepped out of his embrace. I was slightly crying.

And everyone watched as I slapped him.

"Ow," he said, putting a hand to his face. "That hurts!"

"You're THREE YEARS LATE!" I roared at him.

"Well, I'm sorry!" he said. "It was a bit hard breaking through the walls of angel purgatory."

I settled down. "Fine. But we need to talk."

...

I pulled him into the same corner room that we took Percy into.

"What's wrong?" the Doctor asked.

I bit my lip. "The Master has joined Lucifer and Moriarty in the war effort."

His face darkened. "What?"

"I'm sorry," I said quietly.

He took a quick breath and sighed, "Oh, Master. I should have seen it coming." He turned to me. "On the bright side, you don't need to lead this war anymore. I'll take over."

"No," I said.

"What?" the Doctor asked, confused.

"No," I said quietly, shaking my head. I realized something. "This…is my war. And…I need to lead it. I don't know why. But I need to."

"Rissa," the Doctor said. "You're not making much sense."

"I'm making perfect sense. You're not keeping up!" I said. "I need to lead this war. I need to. I am a perfectionist. I am competitive. And I stick with something until the end. This war is mine."
