She learned it the hard way. Some people were never meant to exist. Not even the Doctor wants her as a companion. But then the Master saves her from certain death and discovers that this human girl might be of more use to him than he expected.
Ranki...
A/N: Okay, if some of you know a certain show you might not be too surprised about where this is going. (At least part of it) My mind just went there, okay UwU And then of course distorted it into something uh... I don't even know?
Also, I'm away again for a week, so there might not be a new chapter next week, cause I'm busy :V
Until then, have fun and have hugs and I love you all! <3 A story without readers is nothing. Does it even exist - like in a quantum way? If no one is ever reading it, is it even real? *cough* Don't mind me...

Nothing made sense anymore. While I quietly followed the Master outside, my hands were wrapped around the small egg. It didn't drain me... yet. The small pulse warmed my hands in the beginning night. My eyes kept glued to the ground so I wouldn't have to see the horrendous machines around me. It didn't spare me from hearing the crackling of electricity, seeing the sparks of lights in my peripheral vision.
Quickly we reached the town's center where a round sigil immediately caught my eye. It was drawn... no, not drawn. The closer I came the better I saw that it was dug out from the ground, had been buried there under nothing but a thin layer of sand and dirt, barely a hand's width below the ground. A perfect circle, decorated by what looked like circuits and diagrams, nothing about it organic.
The more I saw and the more weird things happened, the more I slowly got the feeling of having stumbled into something... "Artificial."
The word tumbled out of my mouth and I raised my eyes to the cracked sky and the moon that was now barely more than a corpse, all of its surface flaked away to leave nothing but black metal and blue lights from various openings.
The Master laughed and stopped to face me. "Yeah. Exactly." Obviously my utterance had reached him. "Look at that, you might be smarter than the Doctor, for once."
I let out a huff and shook my head, still determined to keep the machines out of my sight, despite knowing they were all around me.
"I've watched so much Sci-fi, it's not even... Yeah, sure, it is surprising. Wouldn't have expected to see anything like it, once. But still..."
"Aaaw, come on, don't do that to me," the Master mocked. "It was a surprise."
"You succeeded, then."
That made him smile widely and he gestured around, practically forcing me to finally look at his work. It was the same sight as before, still shocking, disgusting, making my insides crawl with revulsion. But at that moment I understood... some pieces of this puzzle fell together, so obvious that I wondered how I could have missed it before.
"They... they aren't real people?"
The Master's grin grew proud and made my heart do a weird little jump. He seemed to wait for more, so I did my best to put everything together, given the new light of the situation.
