Erica's P.O.V
I pinned myself against the wall, trying to drown out the Daleks screaming.

"EXTERMINATE." One cried from far away. Then all five began chanting it over and over again.

I fiddled with the gun on my belt, my hands slightly shaking. Normal guns wouldn't do anything to Daleks. Luckily, I had my software manipulation gun with me today. I took off running down the hall, listening to the Dalek's cries to figure out where they were. I rounded a corner and ended up in a large control room with five Daleks surrounding a man, who was holding up a Jammy-Dodger threateningly.

"If I press this button, your whole spaceship will explode!" He shouted, holding the cookie in front of him.

I tilted my head to the side slightly and sighed. Being an idiot was always the Doctor's specialty.
"You wouldn't do that. It would explode your TARDIS." The blue Dalek exclaimed.

The Doctor gestured to the button looking like he was going to push it. I intervened before he killed himself.

"I would." I said, stepping into the room.

All five Daleks turned to face me.

"Exterminate." They chanted.

The Doctor took this free moment as a chance to bite into his Jammy-Dodger. 

I shot the gun at the white Dalek, and it fizzled, making cracking noises. Finally, it's lights died out, and I finished off the other four.

"I could've handled that just fine." The Doctor mumbled around his cookie, crumbs spewing from his mouth.

"Oh, yeah? Faking a self-destruct button with a cookie?" I countered, turning away and strolling out of the room.

"They were convinced!" He shouted, Icould hear his footsteps quicken behind me.

"Yeah, totally convinced!" I called back sarcastically, "Is that why they were saying 'Exterminate'?"

"Oh, come on, they always say that." I felt his hand tug softly on my shoulder.

I spun around and he stared at me, his green eyes twinkling.

"Who are you?" He asked tentatively.

"You'll find out soon enough, Doctor." I mumbled. He really didn't remember me. I started striding away, breaking into a run.

"Please! Come back!" I could hear his feet pounding behind me. "Who are you? How do you know my name, and where are you from? What are you?"

I shook my head, sprinting away from his rapid-fire questions.

"So many questions and so little time. For the humans, anyway." I stopped and turned towards the out of breath Time Lord, "Where as me and you, we've got plenty of time."

"Wh-What does that mean?" He whispered.

I shook my head.

"Who are you?" He questioned, his eyes boring into mine.

"Erica. And that's all you get to know." I said as I looked away. 

I turned away and quickly went to the wall. I tapped my bracelet, creating a portal on the wall.

"Goodbye, Doctor." I said, smiling at him.

He waved his hand before he knew what he was doing. After he realized he was letting me go, he ran towards me.

"Hey-" He was cut off by me slipping into the portal. 

I slipped into my bedroom, the portal closing behind me with a faint pop. Zoning out for a minute, I thought about the Doctor. His foolishness, his idiocy, and his stupidity. Us Time Lords have always been headstrong.
