Doctor who one shots/imagines BOOK 2🌏

to make you proud (13)

"I went too far. I did everything you told me to, now I'm back here." I looked over the royal hall of the meeting room of Gallifrey. I'd spent so long trying to get away from her, the Doctor. After she betrayed me. She left me all alone to die. "You failed to bring us the Doctor, let's not forget that was your purpose." Rassilon lectured me. "I never agreed to bring her here. And I wouldn't do that. I love her, she's my life. Was." I corrected myself, as I stood back. "Your mission was to bring the Doctor back to Gallifrey. Was it not?" I shake my head. "I would never betray someone that I love. Even if it meant bringing her back to you. I never agreed to do that. I just wanted her to feel the pain I did when she left." I take a shaky breath. "This is cosy, isn't it?" I turn around, as the Doctor stood at the end of the altar. She hadn't changed a bit. But I could see how hurt she was. "There is one thing to bring me back here to start another war, Rassilon.. but using my best friend to get to me? That doesn't cut it with me." She was angry, I could see it in her eyes. "Y/n came to us. It was voluntary." I glared back at him, "I came here to find her, I didn't go against her. I never did." I snapped, as he watched me. "So, what does it take, y/n? To go against the woman you love?" I stopped, I look back at her as the surprise hit her. "What are you talking about?" She knew this wasn't coming. "Oh, you didn't know?" I clench my fists, filled with anger.

"I came for answers, Rassilon. I didn't come to betray anyone, especially someone I called a friend." I glared back, his face amused. "So, let me ask you this. What will it take for you to betray her? And give us what we want?" I had always known that I could end up dead, I knew what happened to the people who travelled with her. In the past. How they had all died, they left. She was always left alone. "There doesn't have to be another war. You can end this." I look at him, "What would it take for you to stop this?" I felt her grab my hand, squeezing it. "Walk away." She whispered to me, I felt defeated but I couldn't give this up. "Doctor-" my voice cracked. "Let me deal with this. These were my people, my home. Let me do this. Do it for me. Walk away." She told me softly, as the tears fell down my face. "I can't lose you again." I whispered, "You won't. I promise, I'll be right back. Just go." I let go of her hand, as I turn and I walk away, with the dampening feeling inside my heart that she wouldn't come back. As I turned the corridor, I feel a jolt of pain through my lower stomach. As a large sword pierced right through me. I didn't even react. "Gallifrey sends its regards." A soldier spoke, before retracting the blade and leaving me alone to bleed out. I sat against the wall, my hand pressed into the hole inside me, blood pumping onto my jeans and the ground. I look up, at the lights as I heard my breathing in my ears, my heart beat. I couldn't die here, not like this. I didn't want to.

I push myself onto my feet, fighting through the pain, the bleeding as I get to the TARDIS, my hands covered in blood as I collapse to the ground. I try and control my breathing, as flashbacks of our adventures go through my mind. The way she laughed, how she made me feel. I sit up, as I flip the screen on the console to record a final message. "Doctor.. I'm dead. Well, I'm going that way. But that's okay.. if I had to die, I probably had it coming." I breathed, as I look at the screen. "This wasn't your fault. It's okay. I had to come back.. to tell you that I was sorry. I am sorry. For walking away. But I'm safe now. I'm home. I made it home. So thank you. For bringing me home." I cut off the screen, as I lay down and I take one final breath.

-The Doctor's POV-
"What- oh my god." There was so much blood, all over the ground. And footprints. Did something happen to y/n? I ran down to the TARDIS, before I slam the door open. "Y/n?" Laying there. Dead. "No. No- y/n.. please." I'd never seen anything like it. Someone I loved, more than anything else. A corpse. And I couldn't save them. I kneel down, as I pull them into my arms. "I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect you. This is my fault." The screen on the console was beeping, I press the button as a video comes onto the screen. Of them. Like a goodbye, my hearts crushed as I realised I could of saved them. But it was too late.

I wasn't fast enough.
