RUN

Ending It

When the Tardis lands, I run straight out the doors with the Doctor on my heels.

"Why are you in such a rush? Clara wait!" I turn around.

"Doctor, you need to go back in your Tardis and fly away. Don't come back. Ever. You hear me Doctor? Not ever!"

"W-why? What did I do?"

"I just, the traveling is too much for me right now. Hurts my head. I need a break." He needs to leave before Missy finds us here.

" It's probably because the Tardis is using your body as a host. That's even more reason to stay with me. I don't know all the effects this could cause."

"Another reason I want to stop this traveling business! You put me in the most gruesome of situations that I can't get myself out of. I'm going to die again because of you. This time more slower and much more painful." Go into your damn box Doctor.

"I can fix you. You know I can." What can I say that will get him in there?

"I don't want to be fixed. I want to die alone the way I'm supposed to."

"Why are you talking like this?"

" Doctor, I need you to let me go. Please. This needs to end now," I beg, though I don't mean a word.

"Fine. I'll come back when you're being rational." The Doctor stalks off across the street. I can feel my heart crack with every step.

"Doctor?!" I call out to him and he turns around, looking hopeful.

"Can you take Angie and Artie with you for awhile while I take a nap?" I know they will be safe with him.

"Fine, send them out to the box." I watch in tears while he closes the door behind him. Quickly I run into the house.

"Angie! Artie! Get down here!"

"Whatever it was, I didn't do it." Angie says, bounding down the stair.

"Well neither did I." Artie, comes down after her.

"Both of you are going on an adventure in the blue box."

"With your alien boyfriend?"

"Yes with my - oh Angie shut up." I rush them both to the door.

"Put on your shoes. That's it. Now off you pop." I push both of them out the door roughly.

"Hey," I hear Angie shout out, as I slam the door. God I must seem like the most uncaring nanny in the world. But I love them and I love the Doctor and that's why I'm doing this. I watch through the window as Angie and Artie walk hand and hand to the Tardis. Angie knocks on the door and a second later it opens, letting them both inside. It isn't till the Tardis dematerializes that I stop holding my breath. Now all that's left to do is wait.
I go to the kitchen, and somberly fix myself a cup of tea.

Daisy? I think. She doesn't answer back.

I stir my tea, and stir, and stir, and stir... I will miss them. Angie and Artie. They are such bright children, not always enjoyable company, but they could be could be much worse. And the Doctor, oh the Doctor. I wish I could have told him how I felt, even if he didn't feel the same. I realize that was the last time I would see him. And I yelled at him, telling him all these hateful things. That's the last memory he'll have of me. My chest heaves with my wretched sobs, and my body is all hot and sticky.My tears mix with my sweat. It's so gross, I feel so gross all over and I'm such a terrible person. I didn't even say goodbye. I smack my hand angrily against my mug of tea. It shatters on contact, spreading hot tea and glass across the floor.

The doorbell rings. I get up slowly and trudge to the front door. I don't even get my hand on the knob before the door is broken down and Cybermen walk in. I back up and almost topple over, if it wasn't for the steel cold grip of the
Cyber man's hand around my throat, lifting me off the ground.

"YOU WILL SURRENDER AND COME WITH US. OR YOU WILL BE DELETED!" I struggle to breath, clawing at the metal hand. It let's go and I drop onto the floor holding my constricted throat.

"IT BURNS! IT BURNS!" The Cyberman crys out clutching his hand. A charred hole has been burned through it's hand. Did I do that? I think before passing out into a world of colors.
