CHAPTER 6

I do not own Doctor Who and I am making no profit off of this story.

Thank you for all of your reviews, favorites, follows, and story alerts.

Lily looked at Cleopatra with pure anger on her face, and she decided to start giving her back some of the pain that she had been giving her.

Lily's hands started to glow with regeneration energy, and she channeled it out from them in the form of a massive shockwave that slammed into Cleopatra and instantly knocked the vampire out!

Then she channeled the energy into Allison, Robin, and the Doctor. She quickly stopped herself before the process completed. She didn't want to change her appearance again anytime soon.

The three of them changed back to normal, and Allison ran forward and hugged Lily in appreciation.

"Oh, thank you! Thank you! I was so afraid!" Allison admitted.

"I'm sorry, Allison, but I didn't cure you," Lily admitted with a serious look on her face.

"What?" Allison said as fear returned to her face.

"I used my regeneration energy to temporarily purge the vampire infection from your system for fifteen hours. After that, it will start to take you over again. It's not gone! It's only dormant while my energy fights it off until the regeneration energy has passed from your body," Lily explained.

"I don't want to become a vampire!" Allison said in complete terror.

"I'll find a way to stop it. I promise," Lily said.

Robin looked at her with unwavering faith. She returned his look with a look of depression and resignation. She really didn't know if she would be able to keep her promise to Allison.

He squeezed her hand and put his arms around her to let her know that he still believed in her even if she had lost that belief in herself.

"You will save us, my lady! I have no doubt of that. You always overcome the odds," Robin whispered into her ear.

Lily could only frown deeper at his words. She swore that she wouldn't let them change. Even if she had to keep giving them her regeneration energy forever to prevent the change, she would do it.

She couldn't do that to everyone else though. She watched in horror as all of the people in the area began to change. She knew that the process would take only about an hour to finish. She needed to do something quickly.

Ron was looking at Lily with puzzlement.

"How come I'm not changing?" he asked.

"Because you have some of my blood in your veins, it gave you my immunity. I gave you a transfusion once when you were a boy after you got injured in a fall," Lily explained.

Ron looked at her with utter disbelief still on his face. The Time Lords had really done their job well at erasing his memory. They had made sure that it would never return by changing his mind so that it would be blocked from ever remembering his old memories again even when directly confronted with the truth as she kept doing to Ron. She knew that he would never remember her again, and it broke her heart!

"How did you give him a blood transfusion? Time Lord blood would kill a human," the Doctor asked curiously.

"I regenerated into a mostly human body just long enough to give him the blood that he needed, then I regenerated back into a Time Lord body," Lily explained as she gave him a roll of her eyes. He should have known the answer. Then again, he never had been good at regeneration theory in school as she recalled. He had failed the course over and over again.

"Of course! You're obviously a master at it after having lived for so long. You can actually change your species. I was never able to figure out how to do that. I was always afraid that I would wind up turned into a dog or something and not be able to change back. I'm afraid I'm not very good at regenerations. They usually go badly for me," the Doctor admitted.

"That's because you didn't listen in school! Rose told me that you did terribly in that class over and over again. You failed it several times along with the driving test!" Lily said with a sneer on her face.

"Yes, well. You would bring that up, wouldn't you? Always kick a man when he's down, right?" the Doctor said as he pouted.

"I didn't say that you were stupid, Doctor. You just didn't apply yourself. If it bored you or you disagreed with something, you just didn't bother to learn it. You have an excellent mind when you actually deign to use it. It was just that back at the academy you didn't apply yourself like you should have," Lily said as she lectured him like a teacher.

"Did you talk to my teachers or something? You sound just like them! You were just as boring as they were with that little speech just then," the Doctor said with a wide smile.

Lily just rolled her eyes at him, and then she smacked him hard in the face!

"Ow! What was that for?" the Doctor asked as he rubbed his face.

"Nothing! I just wanted to let out some of my frustrations on you! Well, maybe it was for the boring comment too," Lily said as she looked down on the floor in despair with no trace of a smile on her face.

The Doctor knew that she was worried when she didn't smile at the sight of him in pain.

"We'll come up with something. The two of us together should be able to do anything," the Doctor said with a smug grin as he attempted to make her smile.

It didn't work though. She just continued to look down on the ground in depression.

"You're going to change Doctor. Not even regenerating will save you. Everyone on this planet will be turned into vicious monsters unless I can find a way to stop it, and I don't have a clue on how to cure it," Lily said.

"If your blood can provide immunity to it, then maybe we can make a cure from it as well," the Doctor reasoned.

"You think that you can find a cure in an hour?! All of these people will be permanently changed by then," Lily said in frustration.

"Maybe Rose can fix everything," the Doctor suggested.

"I don't want her coming here. Can you imagine what would happen if she got infected? The Bad Wolf as a vampire? The universe wouldn't stand a chance! She needs to stay on Gallifrey where she's safe," Lily said.

"Wouldn't she have your immunity? Surely she would have inherited it," the Doctor asked.

"No, I checked her for it when she was born and for years afterward. She didn't have it in her blood. She wasn't immortal either. Apparently I can only pass it on with a direct transfusion from myself," Lily said.

The Doctor frowned. With Rose out of the equation, he really had run out of ideas of what to do.

Next: Lily and The Doctor struggle to come up with a solution before it's too late to save the planet.
