Chapter Five:

Augusta's POV

I walked through the burning flames, not caring about the cries and screams in terror as I passed. Why didn't I care? People were hurt! Did I do this? "AUGUSTA!" Someone cried behind me. I turned around to see Rose, her eyes as wide as saucers, tear-streaks staining her usually rosy cheeks. She was also visibly shaking as if she was scared. Why was she scared?

"Augusta, please stop. This isn't you," she begged. I cocked my head to the side. This isn't me? What did she mean, this isn't me. 

Suddenly, my arm began to rise involuntarily. What's going on? I noticed they were also un-gloved. This–This isn't right! What's going on!? 

I felt my body building up energy as I pointed my arm at her. Rose stiffened, as if she couldn't move. "Rose! Get out of the way! I can't control it!!" I tried to say, but instead it came out as laughter. Evil, demonic laughter that sounded like a child's. Laughter similar, if not worse, than theirs! 

"AUGUSTA, please," Rose sobbed. "Don't do this, please!!" 

"ROSE!!" I cried, but nothing came out. Then I shot her, a massive fireball formed in my hand and shot straight through her chest, leaving a gaping hole. Her gasped in pain, and her eyes rolled back in her head. Steam emitting from her chest. Blood poured out of her chest and pooled unto the ground.

A single word left left her lips as she fell to the ground. "...Mon-ster..." 

I screamed, "ROSE!!!!" I KILLED HER! I-I actually killed her. Why? Why would kill her?! I felt tears form in my eyes, but nothing fell down my cheeks. It was like I couldn't even control my body! 

I heard footsteps tried down the hallway, and the sound of the Doctor's sonic. I thought in surprise.

When the Doctor appeared, he didn't look happy. He looked angry. No, furious. Furious would be an understatement. There wasn't word to describe the amount of fury shown on his face. 

"ROSE!" He yelled, diving at the already-dead body. He glared up at me, making me flinch. "What have you done?!!"

"I'm so sorry!" I tried to say, but instead I heard, "She opposed me." This wasn't my voice. This wasn't me. I don't know who this was! 

"You KILLED her!!" He roared. 

"I didn't mean to! I'm sorry!" I was horrified. I killed her. I killed Rose. I didn't mean to. I swear I didn't mean to! I don't know what's going on! 

"I don't care if Augusta is still in there or not at this point," the Doctor said lowly, standing up. "I'm going to stop you."

"You would kill your own companion? Your own friend!" The other voice exclaimed.

"In order to save countless other people, yes," he answered. "I am the Doctor. The Last of the Timelords. The Oncoming Storm, and I will stop you." He pointed his sonic at me, and instantly the ear-piercing ringing noise returned, making me grab my ears, in pain. I felt like my ears were bleeding. Like they were bursting! 

"What do you think you can accomplish by pointing a screwdriver at me?" The other voice sneered. 

"You won't be able to survive without a host," he said, not stopping the sonic.
