A Time Lord's Muse (A Muse/Doctor Who Crossover Fan Fiction)

Chapter 3: Reapers

Chapter 3: Reapers

We arrived at my house and we all ran out of the car and entered the house. Mum barricaded the door and we all escaped in the attic. Once we are all up, dad locked it and turned on the attic lights.

"We are safe for now" he said.

"Mum, Dad... What are they, why are they here?" I asked.

"Those robots are Daleks, enemies of the Time Lords" Dad answered. "Their main purpose is to kill us".

"Son, what you are... What you think you are and what you think of us... Its a lie" Mum said. "You aren't human. We aren't either. We are Time Lords from the planet Gallifrey. We escaped the Time War and seek refuge on this planet. You were a baby when that happened so when we settled here, we decided to never mention your Time Lord origins".

"Wait... Matt... And you guys... You're an alien?!" Chris said.

"But you look human!" Dom said.

"We have two hearts and we regenerate to a new body when we die" dad said. "However, we have reached our 13th cycle so when we die... Thats it! Matt however is still in his first cycle so he has 13 lives left!"

I was freaking out a bit as Chris and Dom touch my chest to see if I have two beating hearts... And I did. I wasn't told about this and I'm scared and shocked at the same time.

"How old are you?" I asked.

"We are now around 6000 years old" Mum said. "You however are still 37. You are still a baby to us... Literally!"

"So why are the... Da-licks... After you?" Chris asked.

"It's Dalek!" Dad said "We assume they still searching for their main enemy, the Doctor but they knew that they figured out that there were survivors who manage to flee and think we took the Doctor with us".

"They want all Time Lords killed and will do everything in their power to end it!" Mum said.

Suddenly, we heard a loud bang downstairs. We became scared but dad and mum went to the other side of the attic and removed a giant white sheet, revealing a Blue Police Phone Box.

"Get in!" Mum said.

"What?!" I said. "What the hell is a police phone box doing here?!"

"Don't worry... You will all fit!" Dad said.

"But it's a small box" Chris said.

"Just get in!" Dad yelled as the sound becomes louder.

The three of us got in the blue box and it was bigger on the inside. My parents said its called a Tardis (Time And Relative Dimensions in Space) and it was used for us to escape the Time War. My dad gave me a special key and told me to plug it in its slot. In the middle is the main console (control room) and the entire ship is filled with lots of bright lights. My dad then closed the door and locked it, at the same time when I found the key's slot and turned it. We then hear him knocked on the box and it started making a wheezing sound. I can tell my parents decided to not enter at its seen at the small monitor on the main consoles where the Dalek robots arrived.

"The Time Lords have been discovered!" one of them said.

"The remaining time lords are found... And with no escape" the other said.

"Wait?! What about me?!" I yelled at the screen as Dom and Chris saw me crying and yelling.

"Matt, what's going o-" Dom asked when we all saw what's happening to my parents.

"Exterminate" the robots said.

A laser came out and blast them. My parents yelled in vain and were killed in the process. They then placed a bomb in the house and exploded not only the house but also killing all 150 sheep that I helped raised and tender. I cried in shock as I saw everything... And lost them all at the same time.

"We have to go back!!!" I yelled touching every button but nothing is happening.

Chris grabbed hold at me as a holographic projector of my dad appeared at the center of the room.

"This message is for my son, Matthew James Bellamy" the image said. "Matt, if you are seeing this, then you now know the truth about your origins. We choose not to tell you as you and your mother believed that you are better off as a human. However, there may be an incident that caused us to tell you the truth. Matthew, you are not in the Gallifreian data base during the Time War so no one in the universe thinks you exist. To be completely honest, you were just born. So due to this, we decided to raise you as a human and let you not know of your origins. Your mother and I are completely proud of you, your band and your success as a human. But now is time for you to know the truth. This Tardis is now yours and unfortunately, your mother and I are becoming too old to travel with you. The Tardis can travel through Time and Space so if you forget something, use it and you will be back in under a second... If you know how to use it right".

Then suddenly, a beam of light appeared above me and it then formed a shape of a guitar. It landed into my arms and it feels like a normal guitar... But this is my dad's guitar when he was in his old band.

"That guitar is not only the guitar I used during my time as a musician, but its a sonic screwdriver" Dad said. "It can help you in any situation unless the doors are in deadlock or dealing in a situation made out of wood. But it is pretty useful. Since you may be travelling a lot, just a little heads up, you have 13 lives and when you die, you regenerate and change body, form and sometimes personality. I have to go now son and I'm sorry if we never told you the truth earlier. So I do hope you hope you are safe and try to not waste your 13 lives. I love you son... Take care".

The image stopped and vanished and the Tardis placed a beam of light on me, scanning my DNA and every single detail about me. My address, my personality, my career... etc. From there, we arrived at my apartment it was in my bedroom, in a corner where it will be unseen by the neighbours. We all exited the box, me being traumatised and the others being confused.

"That was weird" Chris said.

"I know right" Dom said.

I sat on my bed, still carrying my dad's old guitar and placing it leaning on the wall. Dom and Chris comforted me as I lost my childhood... At the same time, became confused on who I really am.

"So... You're an alien" Dom said.

"Now is not the time Dom" Chris said. "Matt just lost everything! Give him some space ad he tries to figure everything out".

The two left the apartment as I lie on my bed, feeling confused and lost. What am I? Who am I? Why did this happen to me? So many questions but little answers provided. I am human but whatever that just happened... I was living a lie... Or a dream. And when those robots blew everything away from me, its like a shatter of the dream... A dose of reality thats been thrown at me.

I lay down on the bed wit my eyes closed as I could no longer handle it for a while.

Its too much...

Too much...
