{"Dad, I don't trust her."}

"Up. Look up." Everyone but Theta, Fay and I struggle to their feet on an artificial surface, although the tunnel walls are the same. "Are you okay?" River asked Amelia who nodded with a frown, "What happened?" She turned to the blonde with a confused look. "We jumped." I stated with a pointed look and a shrug. "Jumped where?" She asked back, "Up. Up. Look up." She looks up at Theta's demand but still doesn't seem to get it. "Where are we?" River sighs slightly in annoyance, "Exactly where we were." I told her, "No we're not." She insisted with a growl of annoyance. I rolled my eyes as Theta reached for my hand. "Move your feet."

Theta then sonicks a circular hatch in the floor, with six inset lights around it.

"Doctor, what am I looking at? Explain." Theta groaned out loud, she flinched slightly in response. "Oh, come on, Amy, think. The ship crashed with the power still on, yeah? So what else is still on?" Our gallant heroes are standing upside down on the hull of the Byzantium.

"The artificial gravity. One good jump, and up we fell. Shot out the grav globe to give us an updraft, and here we are." Theta explained to everyone who stared above us in shock. "Doctor, the statues. They look more like Angels now." We nodded together, "They're feeding on the radiation from the wreckage, draining all the power from the ship, restoring themselves. Within an hour, they'll be an army." I explained as he got the circular hatch opens. A light goes bang. "They're taking out the lights. Look at them. Look at the Angels. Into the ship, now. Quickly, all of you." Theta demands as he pulls Fay in front of him. "How?" He drops Fay through the open hatch into a circular corridor before going in himself. He then reached up to grab for me. From Amelia's point of view, we are now standing on the side of a vertical tube. "Doctor!" She yelped in shock, "It's just a corridor. The gravity orientates to the floor. Now, in here, all of you. Don't take your eyes off the Angels. Move, move, move."

:••:••:••:••:

"Okay, men. Go, go, go!" Theta gets to work on a control panel, "The Angels. Presumably they can jump up too?" The hatch closes behind the last man. "They're here, now. In the dark, we're finished." Theta grumbled out causing me to smack him. "Ow! Babe!" I smacked him again, this time with a laugh. A bulkhead further along the corridor starts to close. "Run!" I shout out, "This whole place is a death trap." We definitely don't make it. "No, it's a time bomb. Well, it's a death trap and a time bomb. And now it's a dead end. Nobody panic. Oh, just me then. What's through here?"

"Secondary flight deck." River immediately responded back, "Okay. so we've basically run up the inside of a chimney, yeah? So what if the gravity fails?" Amelia asked, looking between us with a raised eyebrow. Fay also cocked her head up at her father for the answer. "I've thought about that." He paused, frowning at our daughter then me. "And?" Amelia invited, her eyebrows raising as she drug the word out. "And we'll all plunge to our deaths. See? I've thought about it. The security protocols are still live. There's no way to override them. It's impossible." River turns towards him as she works on the next door. "How impossible?" She asked, "Two minutes." The outer hatch is open. "The hull is breached and the power's failing." The lights go out, an arm is silhouetted against the open hatch. "Well that certainly looks exciting." I muttered out sarcastically as one of the clerics saw it as well. "Sir, incoming." He yelled out. "Doctor? Lights." The Angel is starting to enter. Another flicker, and four are now inside and the hatch is closed behind them.

"Clerics, keep watching them." Octavian demands, "And don't look at their eyes. Anywhere else. Not the eyes. I've isolated the lighting grid. They can't drain the power now." Theta utters out quickly as he gets to work. "Good work, Doctor." Theta scoffed at Octavians words. "Yes. Good, good, good. Good in many ways. Good you like it so far." He muttered with a eye roll, "So far?" Amelia questions, with a raised eyebrow at the man. "Well, there's only one way to open this door. I guess I'll need to route all the power in this section through the door control." He pauses with a sigh, looking towards Fay and I. "Good. Fine. Do it." Octavian demands, "Including the lights. All of them. I'll need to turn out the lights." A long scary pause washes over everyone. "How long for?" Octavian questions with a frown, "Fraction of a second. Maybe longer. Maybe quite a bit longer."

"Maybe?" Octavian scoffed out, "I'm guessing. We're being attacked by statues in a crashed ship. There isn't a manual for this." Theta snapped back, "Doctor, we lost the torches. We'll be in total darkness." Amelia uttered out with a scared look, "No other way." I cleared my throat, "Well.." Theta immediately turned to me with a glare as everyone watched. "No. I'm not risking your life just for them. We will be fine. Bishop." Theta turned back to the man, my hearts pounding as I blushed. Fay giggled quickly from beside me as I looked away. "Doctor Song, I've lost good Clerics today. You trust this man?" Octavian stated, looking towards River who was glaring at me. She sighed, turning to face him. "I absolutely trust him." She stated with a firm tone, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "He's not some kind of madman, then?" Octavian asked causing me to let out a loud laugh, he's totally a madman. "I absolutely trust him." She responded back with a wince, also knowing he was a madman. "Excuse me."

"I'm taking your word, but that only works so long as he doesn't know who you are. You cost me any more men, and I might just tell him. Understood?" He whispered to River but both Theta and I heard him, "Understood." She responded back with a nod. He sighed before turning to face us with a determined look. "Okay, Doctor. We've got your back." Octavian replied, "Bless you. Bishop." Theta responded back, his voice filled with sarcasm causing Octavian to roll his eyes. Turning to his men, he started to communicate. "Combat distance, ten feet. As soon as the lights go down, continuous fire. Full spread over the hostiles. Do not stop firing while the lights are out. Shot gun protocol. We don't have bullets to waste." Theta then turned to face us, "Amy, when the lights go down, the wheel should release. Spin it clockwise four turns." He told her, she nodded in response. "Ten."

We paused, looking towards her. "No, four. Four turns." Theta snipped, she nodded again. "Yeah, four. I heard you." She insisted, "Ready!" He plunges his sonic screwdriver into a control unit. "On my count, then. God be with us all. Three, two, one, fire!" The lights go out, the Clerics start shooting at the approaching Angels. "Turn!" Theta shouts, and we start turning it. "Doctor, it's opening. It's working." We get the bulkhead open just enough to squeeze through. "Fall back!" Theta is last through the bulkhead, It clangs shut again. We take off and run along a short corridor and into the secondary flight deck. "Doctor, quickly." River shouts, Fay and I entered second to last before him. "Doctor!" Amelia shouts, Theta dodges inside at the last second, as the door closes, and runs to the controls. The Angels thump on the door and the wheel starts turning.

"Doctor! What are you doing?" Octavian has placed a device on the door. The wheel stops turning, "Magnetized the door. Nothing could turn that wheel now." I scoffed, shooting him a look. "Yeah?" I asked, pointing back towards the door as the wheel turns. His eyes widen in shock, "Dear God!" He gasped moving backwards. "Ah, now you're getting it. You've bought us time though." I explained moving over to Fay and Theta, "That's good. I am good with time." Theta nodded along with a smirk, "Doctor." The wheel on a second door to the right of the main one starts to turn. "Seal that door. Seal it now." Marco obeys, "We're surrounded."

And now the door to the left. "Seal it. Seal that door. Doctor, how long have we got?" Octavian asks us, "Five minutes, max." Theta shouted back, "Nine." Amelia responded almost immediately back, Theta and I turned towards her. "Five." I stated slowly, staring her down.

She nodded back in agreement, "Five. Right. Yeah." She smiled slightly at him, "Why'd you say nine?" Theta asked, she frowned. "I didn't." Theta stared her down for a long second before River interrupted everything. "We need another way out of here." She spoke to the group, "There isn't one." Octavian spoke with a irritated sigh. "Yeah, there is. Course there is. This is a galaxy class ship. Goes for years between planet falls. So, what do they need?" Theta spun to face me with a small smirk, his own copying mine. "Of course." River gasped from behind us. "Of course what? What do they need?" Amelia asks looking between the three of us in confusion. "Can we get in there?" Octavian asked, "Well, it's a sealed unit, but they must have installed it somehow. This whole wall should slide up. There's clamps. Release the clamps." Theta and I got started as River moved towards Amelia. "What's through there? What do they need?" She asked the blonde woman, "They need to breathe." The rear wall of the flight deck slides up to reveal a giant forest.

"But that's. That's a..." Amelia paused as she stared in shock. "It's an oxygen factory." I stated in fact, "It's a forest." She responded back with a frown. "Yeah, it's a forest. It's an oxygen factory." I stated in fact as I nodded towards her. "And if we're lucky, an escape route." Theta uttered out as he ran his hand over Fay's head and giving me a quick kiss. "Eight." River frowned, hearing her this time. "What did you say?" River asked Amelia who turned to face her in confusion. "Nothing." She insisted, "Is there another exit? Scan the architecture, we don't have time to get lost in there." Theta demands as he turns to Octavian. "On it. Stay where you are until I've checked the Rad levels." Octavian nods in response, "But trees, on a space ship?" Amelia scoffed again in disbelief. "Oh, more than trees. Way better than trees. You're going to love this. Treeborgs. Trees plus technology. Branches become cables become sensors on the hull. A forest sucking in starlight, breathing out air. It even rains. There's a whole mini-climate. This vault is an ecopod running right through the heart of the ship. A forest in a bottle on a space ship in a maze. Have I impressed you yet, Amy Pond?"

"Seven."

"Seven?"

"Sorry, what?"

"You said seven."

"No. I didn't."

"Yes. you did."

"Doctor, there's an exit, far end of the ship, into the Primary Flight Deck." Octavian speaks as he rushes back inside, Theta frowns before nodding. "Oh, good. That's where we need to go." I stated, "Plotting a safe path now." Theta moves to sit in the only chair of the room. His frown never leaning his face as he watches Amelia. "Quick as you like." He utters out lowly, the comms suddenly cutting on. "Doctor? Excuse me? Hello, Doctor? Angel Bob here, sir." Theta places it up to his lips as Fay climbs onto his lap. "Ah. There you are, Angel Bob. How's life? Sorry, bad subject." He spoke sarcastically with a wink towards me. I shake my head with a small smile, jackass. "The Angels are wondering what you hope to achieve." Angel Bob speaks, "Achieve? We're not achieving anything. We're just hanging. It's nice in here. Consoles, comfy chairs, a forest. How's things with you?" Theta asked as he spun around in the chair, Fay letting out a happy laugh. "The Angels are feasting, sir. Soon we will be able to absorb enough power to consume this vessel, this world. and all the stars and worlds beyond."

"Well, we've got comfy chairs. Did I mention?" He asked looking down at his daughter who immediately nodded at her father. "We have no need of comfy chairs." Angel Bob replied as Theta poked Fay in the stomach. "I made him say comfy chairs." He announced causing Fay to laugh, "Six." Amelia laughed as well, she really didn't know she was counting. "Okay, Bob, enough chat." He set Fay down as he stood up, his face dark. "Here's what I want to know. What have you done to Amy?" He asked, Amelia immediately frowning in confusion. "There is something in her eye." Angel Bob taunted as I moved over to her. "What's in her eye?" Theta asked from behind me as Amelia went to back away but I grabbed her to hold her still. "We are." Shit. He was right, an Angel had taken form within her minds eye. I nodded towards Theta who sighed, "What's he talking about? Doctor, I'm five. I mean, five. Fine! I'm fine." She frowned as she corrected herself finally noticing that she was counting down too.

"You're counting." River uttered out, also noticing she was counting down. "Counting?" Amelia asked, looking at us in horror. "You're counting down from ten. You have been for a couple of minutes." Fay stated, everyone turning to the girl as she swung back and forth in the chair. "Why?" Amelia asked, "I don't know." Theta shrugged, she sighed with a small nod. "Well, counting down to what?" She changed her question, "I don't know." Theta uttered out sadly. "We shall take her. We shall take all of you. We shall have dominion over all time and space. We shall have dominion of the Queen of time." Angel Bob taunted as I raised an eyebrow, Theta scoffed with a dark frown. "Get a life, Bob. Oops, sorry again. There's power on this ship, but nowhere near that much." He taunted back.

"With respect, sir, there's more power on this ship than you yet understand." There is a screeching sound, "What's that? Dear God, what is it?" River asked as we all covered our ears. "They're back." Octavian shouts, his voice echos as the sound stops. "It's hard to put in your terms, Doctor Song, but as best I understand it, the Angels are laughing." Angel Bob explained over the comms, "Laughing?" Theta and I spoke together with frowns. "Because you haven't noticed yet, sir. The Doctor in the Tardis hasn't noticed. The Queen hasn't noticed either, the seer of time hasn't seen it yet." I frowned at the new name, "Doctor." Octavian uttered out slowly. "No. Wait. There's something I've missed."

A steaming W crack in the bulkhead above the entrance, and it is widening. "That's, that's, that's like the crack from my bedroom wall from when I was a little girl." Amelia gapped at the sight of it. "Yes. Two parts of space and time that should never have touched." I explained to her, "Okay, enough. We're moving out." Octavian snaps as he motions for his men to move out. "Agreed. Doctor?" River stated as she grabbed for Amelia. "Yeah, fine." He uttered back in response. "What are you doing?" Fay paused, waiting for her to leave. "Right with you. Fay, stay with them." River takes off as Fay turns to her father. "Dad, I don't trust her." She stated lowly, Thera bends down to face her and nods. "I don't either baby, but I need you to be safe. Go. Your mother and I are right behind you." She nods as he kisses her forehead before taking off. He then turns and scans the crack, a frown taking over his face as I turn my own gaze at it.

Suddenly, it all stops.

A hand slowly begins to reach out, it's joints twisting and turning. The finger tips a black color.

"So, what are you? Oh, that's bad. Ah, that's extremely very not good." He turns around to find himself and Kate surrounded by Angels. "Do not blink." Only, she was still staring at the crack,

One grabs the back of his jacket collar. "Argh! Kate! Kate, my love."

It starts to pull itself out, a bunch of cracks and groans coming with it.

"Kate, dear. Wake up!"

Another hand shoots out, causing me to jump as it too begins to twist and turn in odd directions.

"Kate!"

And finally a body begins to come out of the crack, a horned crown upon its head. Finally, I see the face. A face I know all too well, it grins; a dark look shining within. A darkness that I have been running from for a very very long time. I let out a shout, and everything stops again.

"Kate! Please!"

I shout as I spin around, a burst of power shoots out of me and all of the angels surrounding us turn to dust. Theta pants, staring at me in slight shock before he quickly moves to pull me into a hug. "Are you ok? What happened?" He rushed out, but I just shook my head in response. I couldn't remember, I really couldn't. "I...I don't know, Theta. It's all blank." He nods gently, kissing the top of my head; he grabs my hand and pulls me along. "Come on, we've gotta get back to everyone." We quickly leave the room; the room full of dust, whispering and Theta's jacket.

:••:••:••:••:

I ran quickly behind Theta, his hand tightly dragging me along. I couldn't remember what happened back there, it just gave me a headache thinking about it. "Father Octavian, when the Doctor's in the room, your one and only mission is to keep him alive long enough to get everyone else home. And trust me, it's not easy. Now, if he's dead back there, I'll never forgive myself. And if he's alive, I'll never forgive him. And, Doctor, you're standing right behind me, aren't you?" Theta was grimacing slightly at the thought that she liked him while I glared at the back of her head. "Oh, yeah." He snapped out of it as pulled me towards Fay. "I hate you." She snipped slightly, expecting him to respond but he ignored her. We both pulled Fay into a hug before he looked towards Octavian. "Bishop, the Angels are in the forest."

"We need visual contact on every line of approach." Octavian shouts out orders to his men. "How did you get past them?" River asked, purposefully looking at him only in question. "I found a crack in the wall and told them it was the end of the universe. Then Kate destroyed them all." He shrugged it off as of it was no big deal. It was a big deal, especially since I didn't even remember why I used my powers. "What was it?" Amelia asked from her spot on a tree trunk. "The end of the universe. Let's have a look, then." He moves to bend down in front of her. "So, what's wrong with me?" She asked, "Nothing. You're fine." River immediately responded from behind her. Fay was watching the forest as she stood beside me, I was watching the scene in front of me. "Everything. You're dying." Theta rushed out, no love loss. "Doctor!" River snapped in anger at him. "Yes, you're right. If we lie to her, she'll get all better. Right. Amy, Amy, Amy. What's the matter with Amelia? Something's in her eye. What does that mean? Does it mean anything?"

"Doctor."

"Busy."

"Scared."

"Course you're scared. You're dying. Shut up."

"Okay, let him think."

"What happened? She stared at the Angel. She looked into the eyes of an Angel for too long..."

"Sir! Angel incoming." Marco shouts, "And here." Another cleric shouts in panic. "Keep visual contact. Do not let it move." I command, "Come on, come on, come on. Wakey, wakey. She watched an Angel climb out of the screen. She stared at the Angel and, and..." He frowned as I watched them. "The image of an Angel is an Angel." Amelia repeated what he had said before, "A living mental image in a living human mind. But we stare at them to stop them getting closer. We don't even blink, and that is exactly what they want. Because as long as our eyes are open, they can climb inside. There's an Angel in her mind." The face of an Angel is still visible in Amy's pupil. "Three. Doctor, it's coming. I can feel it. I'm going to die." She cried out as he sighed with a shake of his head. "Please just shut up. I'm thinking. Now, counting. What's that about? Bob, why are they making her count?" He asked pulling out the comms. "To make her afraid, sir." Angel Bob replied immediately, "Okay, but why? What for?" I asked moving towards Theta as he press the button for me to speak. "For fun, sir." Theta throws the communicator away in annoyance. "Doctor, what's happening to me? Explain." Amelia demands in fear and anger. "Inside your head, in the vision centres of your brain, there's an Angel. It's like there's a screen, a virtual screen inside your mind and the Angel is climbing out of it, and it's coming to shut you off."

"Then what I do?" Amelia asked as I began pacing. "If it was a real screen, what would we do? We'd pull the plug. We'd kill the power. But we can't just knock her out, the Angel would just take over." I stated with a frown, they all watch me. "Then what? Quickly." River snapped at me, I shot her a glare. "We've got to shut down the vision centres of her brain. We've got to pull the plug. Starve the Angel." Theta started as my brain began to race. "Doctor, she's got seconds." Theta spun to face me with wide eyes, "How would you starve your lungs?" He asked me, I immediately responded. "I'd stop breathing." He nodded spinning to face Amelia who was laying down looking pale. "Amy, close your eyes." He demands, "No. No, I don't want to." She tells him in fear but he nods. "Good, because that's not you, that's the Angel inside you. It's afraid. Do it. Close your eyes." Amelia squeezes her eyes shut. The med scanner changes from red to green, "She's normalising. Oh, you did it. You did it."

"Sir? Two more incoming." A cleric yells from the left, "Three more over here." Another on the right. "Still weak. Dangerous to move her." River states with a shake of her head. "So, can I open my eyes now?" Amelia asked, I scoffed with a shake of my head. "Amy, listen to me. If you open your eyes now for more than a second, you will die. The Angel is still inside you. We haven't stopped it, we've just sort of paused it. You've used up your countdown. You cannot open your eyes." Theta insisted with a frown. "Doctor, we're too exposed here. We have to move on." Octavian states, "We're too exposed everywhere. And Amy can't move. And anyway, that's not the plan." I explained as I pulled Fay in front of me. "There's a plan?" River scoffed at me with a frown, "I don't know yet. I haven't finished talking. Right! Father, you and your Clerics, you're going to stay here, look after Amy. If anything happens to her, I'll hold every single one of you personally responsible, twice. River, you and me, we're going to find the Primary Flight Deck which is..." He wets a finger and holds it up. "A quarter of a mile straight ahead, and from there we're going to stabilise the wreckage, stop the Angels, and cure Amy."

"How?"

"I'll do a thing."

"What thing?"

"I don't know. It's a thing in progress. Respect the thing. Moving out!"

"Doctor, I'm coming with you. My Clerics'll look after Miss Pond. These are my best men. They'd lay down their lives in her protection."

"I don't need you." Theta snips in annoyance, "I don't care. Where Doctor Song goes, I go." Theta and I nodded in agreement. "Marco, you're in charge till I get back." Marco nods in agreement, "Sir." He responds to the command. "Doctor? Please, can't I come with you?" Amelia asked with a scared look, "You'd slow us down, Miss Pond." Octavian spoked, I snorted at his blunt response. "I don't want to sound selfish, but you'd really speed me up." Liar, you do want to sound selfish. "You'll be safer here. We can't protect you on the move. I'll be back for you soon as I can, I promise." Theta utters out, she growls in annoyance. "You always say that." She snaps in anger, "I always come back. Good luck, everyone. Behave. Do not let that girl open her eyes. And keep watching the forest. Stop those Angels advancing. Amy, later. River, going to need your computer! Come on, girls!" Fay follows quickly after her father as I pause. "Yeah. Later."

Suddenly, Theta appears in front of me, but it's not the one from this time. He immediately pulls me into a hug, whispering something in my ear causing my eyes to widen and flash. He pulls away with a sad smile, tears in his eyes but he doesn't let them fall then he pulls me into a gentle kiss. As he moves over to speak to Amelia, my eyes move across the room to see a female standing there. She gives me a happy smile and wave, causing tears to immediately come to my eyes. She was beautiful. "Thank you." I whisper to them before I take off, as they disappeared. I catch up with Theta, Fay, Octavian and River, he frowns at me; staring for a second before going back to the readings from his sonic screwdriver that he was imputing into her mini-computer. "What's that?" River asked, "Er, readings from a crack in the wall." Theta uttered with a frown, "How can a crack in the wall be the end of the universe?" I shook my head as Theta panics. "Don't know, but here's what I think. One day there's going to be a very big bang. So big every moment in history, past and future, will crack."

"Is that possible? How?" Theta spun to face Octavian, "Why are you so attached to River?" Theta asked him as they moved closer to me away from River. "Doctor Song's in my personal custody. I released her from the Stormcage Containment Facility four days ago and I am legally responsible for her until she's accomplished her mission and earned her pardon. Just so we understand each other." I raised an eyebrow. "You were in Stormcage?" Theta asked as he spun to face her just as the computer chirps. "What? What is that?" River glares at me, I glared right back. "The date. The date of the explosion, where the crack begins." She scoffed at his response, I frowned moving to look over his shoulder when I noticed his look. "And for those of us who can't read the base code of the universe?" She snipped in annoyance,

26 06 2010. "Amy's time." Theta and I uttered out together with deep frowns. I sigh, as Theta moves to grab my hand and we continue onwards. Why does it seem like this is just gonna keep getting more complicated? It's so annoying. I watched Fay move in front of us, my hearts pounding at the sight of her. She was so beautiful. So precious. She definitely deserves the world, and I hope one day as her mother I could give it to her.

"It doesn't open it from here, but it's the Primary Flight Deck. This has got to be a service hatch or something." Octavian stated with a frown as he tried to get it open. "Hurry up and open it. Time's running out." River demands, "What? What did you say? Time's running out, is that what you said?" Theta snapped in annoyance, "Yeah. I just meant.." He interrupted her with a glare. "I know what you meant. Hush." He snarled before looking towards me with a frown, "But what if it could?" He asked me, I raised an eyebrow in agreement. "What if what could?" River insisted, "Time. What if time could run out?" I explained to her with a sigh, "Got it." Octavian uttered out as the door clicks behind us. "Cracks. Cracks in time. Time running out. No, couldn't be. Couldn't be. But how is a duck pond a duck pond if there aren't any ducks? And she didn't recognise the Daleks. Okay, time can shift. Time can change. Time can be rewritten. Ah. Oh!" He smacks his head, and I snorted slightly with a shake of my head. "Fay, come on. Doctor Song, get through, now. Kate? Doctor." Fay and River were through, Theta starts making gestures. "Time can be unwritten. It's been happening all around us and we haven't even noticed."

"Doctor, we have to move."

"The CyberKing. A giant Cyberman walks over all of Victorian London and no one remembers."

"We have to move it. The Angels could be here any second."

"Never mind the Angels. There's worse here than Angels."

An Angel gets its arm around Octavian's throat, I jump back as Theta begins to scan it with his sonic. "I beg to differ, sir." Octavian grunts slightly within the grip of the arm. "Let him go." Theta demands in slight fear, "Well, it can't let me go, sir, can it? Not while you're looking at it." Octavian utters out, "I can't stop looking at it, it'll kill you." I explained as he slightly shook his head barely able to move within its grip. "It's going to kill me anyway. Think it through. There's no way out of this. You have to leave me." He insisted with a frown, "Can't you wriggle out?" Theta asked the man. "No, it's too tight. You have to leave me, sir. There's nothing you can do." Theta shakes his head with a sad look. "You're dead if we leave you." I tell him again, "Yes. Yes, I'm dead. And before you go..." Theta interrupted him. "We're not going." Octavian choked slightly against the arm, I could free him. If the Angel wasn't going to eat me as I did so, a sacrifice I couldn't afford to make. "Listen to me, it's important. You can't trust her." Octavian insists, Theta and I immediately tensing up. We already knew who he was talking about but to be sure. "Trust who?" Theta asked slowly, Octavian raised an eyebrow.

"I think you know, already. River Song. You don't understand who or what she is. You don't know how evil she truly can be."

"Then tell us."

"I've told you more than I should. Now please, you have to go. It's your duty to your family and friends." I sighed, "Just tell me why she was in Stormcage?" Theta asked with a cock of his head. "She killed someone. A good person. A hero to many, we didn't put her there just to make sure she faces the consequences. We put her there to protect her as well, but I'm not sure it will do any good." We both frowned at the man's words, his eyes had moved anywhere but towards us. "Who?" I asked with a frown, "You don't want to know, ma'am. You really don't." He uttered out gently as he watched me with a sad look. "Who did she kill?" I demanded with a glare, I had to know. I needed too. "Ma'am, Sir, the Angels are coming. You have to leave me." He switched it up, his eyes moving between us as he changed his attitude. "You'll die." I raised an eyebrow in retaliation, he nodded in agreement. "I will die in the knowledge that my courage did not desert me at the end. For that I thank God, and bless the path that takes you to safety."

"I wish I'd known you better." Theta patted the man on the shoulder, "I think, sir, you know me at my best." Octavian smiled at the two of us. "Ready?" Theta pushed me towards the hatch, I sighed giving Octavian one last look before climbing through. "Content." Theta dives through the hatch and closes it. We immediately make our way to River and Fay who was working on the floor. I immediately pulled her close to me, "There's a teleport. If I can get it to work. we can beam the others here. Where's Octavian?" She asked, frowning as she looked behind us. "Octavian's dead. So is that teleport. You're wasting your time. I'm going to need your communicator." She hands it over and he immediately starts switching through the channels. "Really what? Hello? Really what? Hello? Hello? Hello? Please say you're there. Hello? Hello?" Finally, we hear Amelia on the other end. "Amy? Amy? Is that you?" Theta asked, I wanted to smack him. Of course it was, who else would ask the same thing that many times? "Doctor?" She immediately replied back with a shout, we all pull back at the sound. "Where are you? Are the Clerics with you?"

"They've gone. There was a light and they walked into the light. Doctor, they didn't even remember each other." Amelia stated with fear as Theta sighed, "No, they wouldn't." He uttered with a shake of his head. "What is that light?" River asked looking at him with a frown. "Time running out. Amy, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I should never have left you there." River now seemed worried that Amelia was still out there. You would think the woman didn't care, since they both clearly liked Theta. She seemed to have a problem with me, and yet Amelia didn't bother her. "Well, what do I do now?" Amelia asked, "You come to us. The Primary Flight Deck, the other end of the forest." Theta told her over the comms. "I can't see. I can't open my eyes." She snipped back, "Turn on the spot." I command, she paused. "Sorry, what?" Theta sighed back, "Just do it. Turn on the spot. When the communicator sounds like my screwdriver, that means you're facing the right way. Follow the sound. You have to start moving now. There's Time Energy spilling out of that crack, and you have to stay ahead of it." Theta explained, "But the Angels, they're everywhere." Amelia insists, she was right. They were all around, no stopping them now; at least not yet. "I'm sorry, I really am, but the Angels can only kill you." Theta insisted, "What does the Time Energy do?" Amelia asked over comms, "Just keep moving!" He shouts in annoyance. "Tell me." She demands back in anger and fear.

"If the Time Energy catches up with you, you'll never have been born. It will erase every moment of your existence. You will never have lived at all. Now, keep your eyes shut and keep moving." Theta explains, "It's never going to work." River tells him with a frown, "What else have you got! River! Tell me!" He yells at her, making her flinch back and glare. As Amy makes her way slowly across the uneven forest floor, there is a clanging sound in the ship. "What's that?" River asked turning to face us, "The Angels running from the fire. They came here to feed on the Time Energy, now it's going to feed on them." He switches to the comm, "Amy, listen to me. I'm sending a bit of software to your communicator. It's a proximity detector. it'll beep if there's something in your way. You just manoeuvre till the beeping stops. Because, Amy, this is important. The forest is full of Angels.You're going to have to walk like you can see." He tells her as softly as he can so not to scare her. "Well, what do you mean?" She asked over the radio, her voice shaking. "Look, just keep moving." He tells her with a frown, "That Time Energy, what's it going to do?"

"Er, keep eating."

"How do we stop it?"

"Feed it."

"Feed it what?"

"A big, complicated space time event should shut it up for a while."

"Like what, for instance?"

"Like me, for instance!"

The communicator beeps. "What's that?" Amelia asked, "It's a warning. There are Angels round you now. Amy, listen to me. This is going to be hard but I know you can do it. The Angels are scared and running, and right now they're not that interested in you. They'll assume you can see them and their instincts will kick in. All you've got to do is walk like you can see. Just don't open your eyes. Walk like you can see. You're not moving. You have to do this. Now. You have to do this!" Amy threads her way through the group of Angels, then trips over a half-buried tree root. She drops the communicator. "Doctor? I can't find the communicator. I dropped it. I can't find it, Doctor. Doctor." An Angel turns its head towards her. "Doctor. Doctor!" Then another one turns, and another. "Doctor." Amy gets to her feet just as an Angel reaches for her throat.

There is a flash of light and Amelia appears, River immediately grabs her.

"Don't open your eyes. You're on the Flight Deck. The Doctor's here. I teleported you. See? Told you I could get it working." I scoffed at the bragging, she smirks smugly until an alarm blares, "What's that?" River asked with a frown. "The Angels are draining the last of the ship's power, which means the shield's going to release." The bulkhead into the forest rises to reveal an array of Angels. "Angel Bob, I presume." Theta asked staring at the lead Angel. "The Time Field is coming. It will destroy our reality." Angel Bob still spoke through the comms, "Yeah, and look at you all, running away. What can I do for you?" Theta asked with a cock of his head, "There is a rupture in time. The Angels calculate that if you throw yourself into it, it will close, and they will be saved." Angel Bob responded, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could do, could do that. But why?" Theta uttered out with a sigh. "Your friends will also be saved." I scoffed at the lie, "Well, there is that." I shrugged with a smirk towards him. "I've travelled in time. I'm a complicated space time event too. Throw me in." I was very much tempted. "Oh, be serious. Compared to Kate, Fay and I, these Angels are more complicated than you, and it would take every one of them to amount to me, so get a grip." I move Fay towards the railing, as I wrapped my body around her and grabbed the railing. Theta rushed around to kiss Fay on the forehead and me on the lips. "Doctor, I can't let you do this." River continues, apparently still not grasping the situation.

"No, seriously, get a grip." He grumbled with an eye roll, "You're not going to die here!" She snaps in annoyance. "No, I mean it. River, Amy, get a grip." He yells in her face, pointing at the railing causing her eyes to widen in realization and her own stupidity. "Sir, the Angels need you to sacrifice yourself now." Angel Bob speaks up, "Thing is, Bob, the Angels are draining all the power from this ship. Every last bit of it. And you know what? I think they've forgotten where they're standing. I think they've forgotten the gravity of the situation. Or to put it another way, Angels." A monitor says Gravity Failing. River puts Amelia hand on the handles of a console module. "You hold on tight and don't you let go for anything." River speaks to Amelia who nods in response. "Night, night." Theta rushes over, wrapping his body around me as gravity fails. Feet leave the floor, and I place a shield around us. The spaceship tilts and the Angels fall backwards through the Forest. They disappear into the crack, which then closes.

:••:••:••:••:

Amelia is wrapped in a blanket, we are all safely back on the beach. The Tardis is nearby, "Ah. Bruised everywhere." Amelia groaned out with a wince, "Me too." Theta laughed as he hugged Fay tightly, before setting her down. "You didn't have to climb out with your eyes shut." She snapped back, "Neither did you. He kept saying. The Angels all fell into the Time Field. The Angel in your memory never existed. It can't harm you now." I explained to her, she sighed with an eye roll. "Then why do I remember it at all? Those guys on the ship didn't remember each other." She asked us, looking highly confused. "You're a time traveller now. Amy. It changes the way you see the universe, forever. Good, isn't it?" Theta asked with a raised eyebrow and a small laugh. "And the crack, is that gone too?" She asked, "Yeah, for now. But the explosion that caused it is still happening. Somewhere out there, somewhere in time."

The Clerics are also back, Theta goes over to River who smirks at him. "You, me, handcuffs. Must it always end this way?" River is in a pair of high-tech cuffs that beep. He frowns as he watches her, "What now?" He asks, crossing his arms. She frowns in response, probably expecting him to be more excited about her. "The prison ship's in orbit. They'll beam me up any second. I might have done enough to earn a pardon this time. We'll see." She shrugs as if it was no big deal. "Octavian said you killed someone." I stated as I moved towards them, "Yes, I did." She frown, almost like she was disappointed about something before looking away from us. "A good person." Theta repeats the man's words. "A good person, I suppose. I never really cared about them, always a reminder of something I couldn't have." Theta and I watched her with deep frowns. She really seemed to resent this person, and I had a vague feeling of who it is. "Who?" Theta asked with a snarl, he wanted to know if it was someone important to him. "It's a long story. Doctor. It can't be told, it has to be lived. No sneak previews. Well, except for this one. You'll see me again quite soon, when the Pandorica opens."

"The Pandorica. Ha! That's a fairy tale." He laughed with a shake of his head, "Doctor, aren't we all? I'll see you there." She winked at him, Fay moving to stand next to us as she did so. "I look forward to it." He mutters lowly in sarcasm. "I remember it well." She uttered out, seemingly mixed between disappointment and excitement. "Bye, River." Amelia spoke up as she appeared beside Theta. "See you, Amy. Oh, I think that's my ride." She looked up at the ship hovering as it started to beam up Octavian and the clerics. River is beamed away in a whirl of sand and Theta stares out towards the ocean with a deep frown. "What are you thinking?" I asked him gently, as I grabbed his hand. He hummed turning to me with a small smile, "Time can be rewritten." He uttered out as he grabbed both our hands and pulled us towards the Tardis. Amelia following us, with anger own frown upon her face. "I want to go home." Amelia utters out as we make our way inside the Tardis. "Okay." Theta uttered out with a shrug, "No, not like that. I just, I just want to show you something. You're running from River. I'm running too." I sighed as I grabbed Fay's hand. "Where gonna go get changed and ready for bed." I uttered out as Theta nods, happily giving me a kiss. We head deeper into the Tardis as Theta moves to take Amelia home for a minute.

:••:••:••:••:

The Tardis has squeezed itself in by the door. The bridal gown is still hanging on the open wardrobe door, The Doctor and Amy are sitting on her bed. "Well." He utters out in shock, mostly surprised someone would marry her. "Yeah." She responds back, "Blimey." He grumbled out, she had to have changed much in two years then. "I know. This is the same night we left, yeah?" She asked causing him to look down at his watch. "We've been gone five minutes." She picks up a ring box and opens it. "I'm getting married in the morning." She stated, looking at it with slight fear. "Why did you leave it here?" He asked her in confusion, "Why did I leave my engagement ring when I ran away with a strange man the night before my wedding?" She replied with a small laugh. "Yeah, and my wife. With our daughter." He uttered out as she slowly moved around. "Hmm. You really are an alien, aren't you." She grumbled with an eye roll, "Who's the lucky fellow?" Theta asked, trying to get off topic. "You met him." She shrugged as if he was no big deal.

"Ah, the good looking one. Or the other one?" Theta asked, making a gesture about his nose. She was dating the other last time but it also had been two years since then. "The other one." Amy speaks with a small smile, "Well, he was good too." Theta pouted, not because of the reason Amy seemed to think though. He was jealous because Kate seemed to like the guy, "Thanks. So, do you comfort a lot of people on the night before their wedding?" She asked with a purr, he frowned in response. How was he supposed to know it was the night before her wedding? "Why would you need comforting?" Theta asked, "I nearly died. I was alone in the dark, and I nearly died. And it made me think." She moved towards him, he frowned slightly moving back. "Well, yes, natural. I think sometimes. Well, lots of times." Theta began to ramble.

"About what I want. About who I want. You know what I mean?" She uttered, getting herself ready to pounce on the man. "Yeah. No." He really didn't know what she meant, honestly he just wanted get back inside the Tardis and hold Kate. "About who I want." Amy repeated again, trying to get his attention again. He clearly started to space out, "Oh right, yeah. No, still not getting it." He blinks with a frown, "Doctor. In a word. In one very simple word even you can understand." Amy tries to kiss him. "No! You're getting married in the morning! I'm happily married! With a daughter!! Don't." He snaps moving away from her. "Well, the morning's a long time away. What are we going to do about that? Besides, she doesn't have to know." She pins him against the Tardis and tries to undo his shirt. He smacks her hands away from his body, "Amelia, listen to me. I am nine hundred and forty seven years old. Do you understand what that means?" He snapped in annoyance, "It's been a while?" She asked as she moved towards his shirt again. He snarled pushing her back, "No, no, no. I'm nine hundred and forty seven, and I'm married. Happily, might I add. She's the wonder of my life, and my beautiful daughter. I would end the world for them..." She interrupted him. "Oh, you are sweet. Doctor. But I really wasn't suggesting anything quite so long term."

Amy finally gets to plant her lips on his, he yanks back slamming his head against the wall. Pushing her back, he climbs over the bed to get away from her. "But you're Amelia. Little girl. Not my Kate. That's gross. I'm married. You're getting married in the morning." He then paused in his thoughts, "In the morning." He uttered out slowly as his eyes widened in thought. "Doctor?" Amy asked pausing with a frown, "It's you. It's all about you. Everything. It's about you." She smirked smugly, thinking he was about to give in. "Hold that thought." She then jumps on the bed and poses. "Amelia Pond. Mad, desperate, definitely not my type, impossible, Amelia Pond. I don't know why, I have no idea, but quite possibly the single most important thing in the history of the universe is that I get you sorted out right now." She frowns at the insults but then smirks when she realizes he was talking about her. "That's what I've been trying to tell you." She giggles, only to gasp when he yanks her up. "Come on." He snaps in annoyance, "Doctor." She cues as he hustles her into the Tardis and takes a last look at her alarm clock as it clicks over to 12:00pm 6/26.

Amy's time.

๑๑

Damn, I'm on a roll.

I was going back to look at the comments on each chapter and noticed School Reunion has the most with 75 lmao.

Anyway, here you guys go.

Also, I do have this written in Quotev in case Wattpad continues to be a dick so yeah.

Who do you think River is to them?

Who did she kill?

I'm pretty it's obvious by now but can anyone guess the reason lol.

I have also decided something officially, I've been on and off for a while about it and I hope y'all don't get to upset about it when you find out. I won't reveal anything until it's time which will probably be a while and I've given hints in some of my cover photos I've made for the couples but I think I've finally decided for sure now. So I really hope you guys will except it, and I'm sorry if you don't like it but I really needed to get this figured out for the base of my fic.

You probably won't know until the end of season nine, or if I decide to let you know before so please be patient.

Thank you all for the love and support!!!
