The War Planet

Kira

The Doctor and his friends, along with Aleera's team, burst into the room just as Aleera and I opened our watches. Within seconds they'd formed a semicircle around us. "What the hell kind of game do you think you're playing?" Sam demands, glaring at Aleera with his arms crossed. "A dangerous one, Sam. One that can get me killed if I make one wrong move," Aleera replied icily. "Was everything you said a lie?" he asks quietly. I can't stop a sad smile from playing across my lips.

"No," she answered. "The Silence did come here, fourteen years ago. They just brought two girls instead of one. Commander Micheals was going to expose the Silence. And Kira here has burned hundreds of planets. Just not willingly." He sighed and ran one hand through his hair. "What about the little girl?" he asks. So they had seen. Instead of giving Aleera time to respond, I answer quickly. "She was my daughter. The daleks and cybermen were using her as leverage against us. We sent her away to protect her. We remember everything unless it pertains to her. All we remember is that she's mine, she's three years old, and she;s safe. We have no intention of ever opening these watches." 

They all seem content with my answer. Except for, of course, the Doctor. "What happened in the last four weeks? Why can't I remember?" he asks. I let out a dry chuckle. "Didn't you listen to Aleera, you daft old man? You rewrote time so those four weeks never happened. It wouldn't make a difference even if you couldn't remember. Even if I could help you, I wouldn't. And neither will my sister," I say. He pouts in a way that's eerily similiar to what I do when I don't get my way. "Maybe I'll just ask the Silence," he says, trying sound clever. Aleera and I both laugh at this. 

"Do you really think the Silence would help you? Your memories are gone, and they're not coming back," Aleera tells him firmly. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, a giant tremor wracked the entire HQ, nearly knocking us all off our feet. "What the hell was that? You didn't actually arm those explosives, did you, Aleera?" I demand. She shakes her head. "No, that wasn't an explosion," she tells me, taking out her scanner and scanning the building frantically. She lets out a small gasp as the scanner beeps. "Oh my god," she whispers.

"What? What is it?" I ask. She turns to me with a look of sheer terror on her face. "It's a time crack."
