The Genius (Doctor who)

Chapter 4

Hey guys! Wow two updates in three days! I’ve been able to have some free time so I thought why not write another chapter for you guys!

So here it is. Chapter 4!

Enjoy!

Recap:

“Okay. The Dalek is still only down the hallway but still, it won’t stop until it has killed us. All of us. I don’t know how, but it has gotten stronger, from what I don’t know. The only possible way to stop it is to kill it. But the only way to do that is for me to be close enough to detonate the bomb using my phone. I can pause it to stop myself from getting shot but only so I can get close enough to the dalek.” I say calmly, already accepting my fate. The Doctor however, looks far from calm as he turns to me and shouts “are you crazy?! I will not let you die for me Ella, never!” I sigh defeated, but quickly push him back will all my strength and quickly unlock the door, darting for the motionless Dalek.

“NO!”

I look back to The Doctor one last time, with a sad smile on my face. I look to Amy and Rory and smile at them as well. Rory looks terrified, The Doctor looks distraught and Amy smile. Not an evil, smug smile but an apologetic and grateful smile that shows she understands what I’m doing. She understands that I would give my life so that others could live. These faces would be the last faces I would ever see.

Not being able to look anymore, I turn away and get ready to detonate the Dalek, possibly killing myself as well. Once I am a few feet away from the dalek, I put a timer on just to give me at least a slim bit of hope of surviving. I like hope; it can bring reason and a spark to people who need to act quickly. A little hope is effective.

I attach the phone onto the dome of the Dalek and start the timer. I turn away quickly and run as fast as I can. But not fast enough. The bomb detonates and I’m swept off my feet, being sent flying through the air as the Dalek goes up in flames. I feel myself falling through the air, gravity bringing me back down the ground. I wait for the hard, deathly impact of my back hitting the large metal door but it doesn’t come. Instead I fall onto something that I much squishier and moving. I look up and I am met with The Doctor’s worried eyes, filled with compassion. Our faces are inches apart and his eyes flicker down to my lips. My breathing quickens as we bother start to lean in, only to be stopped when someone not-so-discretely coughs to get our attention.

I turn away my cheeks burning red, completely forgetting about my near death experience. I’m then engulfed in a huge hug from Amy and as I hug her back I can’t help but be surprised at her kindness towards me. Then again I did just try to sacrifice myself for them.

Once released from the hugging session, I turn to see rory looking at me. I smile at him, waiting for him to say what he needs.

“Well. You’re a um… brave one then. Thank you though, but you shouldn’t have done that.” He says, being completely honest but awkward with his words. I smile at him, appreciating his kindness towards me.

“No problem. If it save lives, I’ll do anything.” I reply, as honest as he was. He smiles and hugs me awkwardly and I return the hug. Stepping back I then sigh and turn around, not wanting to face the oncoming storm.

“You shouldn’t have done that.” He tells me sternly. When I don’t reply he continues, “you shouldn’t have risked your life for me.”

“It wasn’t just for you it was for the others as well.” I reply, my face  matching his serious one. I stare him down, waiting for him to crack under my intense gaze. Finally he sighs.

“At least you’re not dead.” He says with a relieved look on his face. I grin at this and run and jump on him. He is caught off guard but quickly catches me, spinning me around and laughing crazily like me. When he sets me down I look up at him and notice that the look in his eyes is back. Full of compassion fondness. I place it to the back of my mind, not intending to forget it completely but just wanting to focus on now. I’m alive and that’s all that matters.

At least for now.
