The Littlest Timelord: The Fall of the Eleventh

Chapter 49

A/N - Prepare to have your hearts broken in this one.

"A question only I could answer. A truth field to make sure I'm not lying. If I give my name, they'll know they've found the right place and that it's safe to come through," the Doctor said.

"The Time Lords? Okay, so what then? If you answer the question and they come back, what happens?" Clara asked.

"Hell," Elise answered.

The Doctor handed Clara a small round object. "Ah, you need to take this to the Tardis and put it in the charger slot for the sonic."

"Why?"

"Elise is right. Hell. All hell, that's what happens if the Time Lords come back. There's half a universe up there already, waiting to open fire. Now please, go to the TARDIS and just do as I say."

Clara ran out of the room.

"You're sending her home, right?" Elise asked.

"This is between the Timelords and me," he said.

Elise took her hand in his. "The Timelords and us."

The Doctor offered her a small smile.

The moment was shattered by Tasha's voice. "Doctor. Speak with me. Doctor! Face me now! Doctor!"

The Doctor put his jacket back on and they made their way to the bell chamber.

Tasha's face hung in the sky.

"Mother Superious, there is only one thing I need from you. This planet, what's it called?" the Doctor asked.

"Trenzalore."

Elise's hearts stopped in her chest.

This was the end.

"If you speak your name, the Time Lords will return," Tasha said.

"If they return, they will come in peace," the Doctor told her.

"It doesn't matter. They will be met with a war that will never end. The Time War will begin anew. You know that, Doctor."

"They're asking for my help!"

"And if you give it, war will be the consequence. I will not let that happen, at any cost. Speak your name and this world will burn."

"No, this planet is protected." He soniced the bell and it started ringing.

The citizens started to gather outside the tower.

Elise and the Doctor stepped out of the tower.

"So, you lot, a quick word, thank you. Spot of news. Christmas has a new sheriff. Hello, everyone. I'm the Doctor. And this my daughter Elise."

There were many attacks on the town, but the Doctor and his daughter defeated them every time. Elise herself was becoming quite a warrior in her own right.

But something else happened on Trenzalore.

She fell in love. He was human of course. With sandy brown hair and green eyes.

Joey.

Elise came home one day to find her father sitting in his chair, working on toys for the children. "Maybe you should just retire and make toys," she teased him.
