The Bad Wolf IV

This chapter is going to have Lake Silencio in it and some major changes to cannon, I hope you enjoy.

I turn the envelope over in my hand, it's police box blue with a large silver 1 and I presume that it's from the Doctor. Inside the envelope is a blue card with a date and a map reference. For a second I pause before imputing the coordinates into my TARDIS. This is obviously from the great Doctor and I don't really want to be around him, but I'm far to curious not to go. Also it's not like he's going to go to all the trouble to find out where I am in the universe to ask to come to a picnic. I wouldn't want to ignore it only to find out that the universe was about to end and I could have stopped it.

We land and I step out into somewhere called Lake Silencio. Surprise, surprise the great Doctor is here along with Rory, Amy, and River.

"Hello," I say and they all turn to look at me.

"Tunie!" Rory says in greeting.

"Auntie Wolf!" River says beaming at me, before she realises something else and says "You still don't know me , do you?" sounding defeated. I shake my head slightly and her grin fades.

A figure in a NASA spacesuit rises out of the lake and the Doctor says "You all need to stay back. Whatever happens now, you do not interfere. Clear?"

I get a sense that something about to go terribly wrong. Time is swirling around this point, not in the way it dose around a fixed point but as if something is completely off with time.

Amy and Rory at talking but I'm not listening, I am completely focused on the Doctor and the Astronaut. The Doctor bows his head and time splits into two.

In one I start sprinting towards the Doctor, running down the beach desperately trying to get there in-time. I do and taking a flying leap just as the astronaut tries shoots the Doctor, I get in the way and take the 'bullet' myself. My body starts to fail and I die the second I touch the water in the lake. I have gotten use to dying, but coming back to life is always a strange thing. I snap back to awareness and take a big breath of lake water. I float back to the surface coughing and spluttering, only to see the Doctor in the middle of a regeneration cycle. The astronaut shoots the Doctor again and he dies. The rest of that timeline flickers across my vision, and everything is as it's supposed to be, only the Doctor is dead and I can't let that happen.

In the second I start running but the astronaut is refusing to shoot the Doctor. I can see that the astronaut is River and that she is being forced to kill him by a suit that is controlling her. I can see a vague alternate timeline where time ceases to exist. I can't let this happen, I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN. I can't because the Doctor WILL NOT DIE, not on my watch.

I am the Bad Wolf and I am never letting my Doctor die. I start to pull time energy from my TARDIS and the Doctor's TARDIS, I know that I am glowing gold. I know that I am floating above the surface of lake and I begin to twist timelines. If I'm not very, very careful then the time vortex could explode, but I can be careful. I can and will be incredibly delicate, there are many, many fixed points along these timelines. I shift this moment ever so gently and cause the first timeline, the one where the Doctor dies, to largely prevail except for one tiny detail the Doctor doesn't die. I have to make it seem to Amy and Rory that he dose, because otherwise an essential timeline would fracture (which might well cause another yet another universe to end). I have made the Doctor's body temporarily fireproof and he is unconscious, when he wakes up he will have no idea what's going on but at least he will be alive. Rory and Amy also won't remember me turning gold until River tells them at the right time that the Doctor isn't actually dead (I barely know her but for some reason, I trust her completely).

I'm coming exhausted, my entire body feels like it's on fire (and I would know, I've been burnt at the stake more then once) and I really need a good rest but I can't stop, Amy and Rory can't figure out what's happened. It doesn't take me long to get up to where they're sitting, River looks at me and I nod slightly.

"He can't have died, he just can't have," Amy says, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry Amy but he's dead, completely dead," I tell her, trying to be as gentle and kind as possible.

"But you were hit by that astronaut and you're not dead," Amy says.

"Amy sweetheart I can't die, I can be killed but I can't die. That astronaut killed me and I came back to life. The Doctor can't do that, he was killed mid regeneration cycle." I tell her.

I walk back to the Diner with them and Rory finally asks the question I was waiting to be asked "Why did you try to save the Doctor, you hate him?" I am about to answer with something that neatly skirts the question when River answers for me, she says "It is possible to hate and love someone at the same time,"

"I don't love the Doctor," I say quickly, far to quickly, and River looks at me eyebrow raised. Luckily at that moment we turn the corner and see the diner, and in that Diner the great Doctor is sitting. Even though I knew that that would happen, seeing him sitting there makes my blood boil. It is just so like him to invite his friends to his death and then show up alive 200 years younger. It is unbelievable selfish, and so, so cruel. I march in, look him in the eye and say to him "You selfish Prat," before punching him on the nose hard enough to break it (and break it I did) I then storm back to my TARDIS and dematerialised before anyone could catch up with me.

I am The Bad Wolf

I am the Great Exterminator

I am the Killer of All

I am the Destroyer of A Universe

And There's No One I Hate More Then Myself

I hope this is good and that everything made sense. I really enjoyed writing this chapter and I hope you enjoyed reading, have a nice day. Also the Doctor isn't in a Teselecta because I didn't like that in the show (I felt like that was the easy a way out), if Rose/ Bad Wolf hadn't been there he would have died, died.
