The Littlest Timelord: The Death of the Doctor

Chapter 12

A/N - I've been waiting for this chapter because it has one my favorite moments that I've ever written in it.

As the Doctor, Amy, Rory, and Elise were exploring they heard, "Thief!"

"Shush, shush, shush," the Doctor said as they stopped.

"So, as soon as the TARDIS is refueled, we go, yeah?" Rory asked.

"No. There are Time Lords here. I heard them and they need me."

"You told me about your people, and you told me what you did," Amy said.

Elise didn't understand what they were talking about.

"Yes, yes, but if they're like the Corsair, they're good one and I can save them."

"And then tell them you...?" Amy trailed off looking at Elise. She knew the Doctor still hadn't told her about what he had done.

"I can explain. Tell them why I had to."

"You want to be forgiven."

"Don't we all?"

Amy nodded. "What do you need from me?"

"My screwdriver. I left it in the TARDIS. It's in my jacket."

"You're wearing your jacket," Rory commented.

"My other jacket."

"You have two of those? Can't you just use Elise's?"

"Hers doesn't have all the apps I need."

"Okay, I'll get it. But Doctor, listen to me. Don't get emotional because that's when you make mistakes," Amy told him.

He gave her a lazy salute. "Yes, boss."

Amy tossed him her mobile phone. "I'll call you from the TARDIS. Rory, look after him." Amy walked off.

"Rory, look after her."

The Doctor and Elise continued exploring.

"Daddy?" Elise asked.

"Yes Ellie?"

"What happened to the Timelords?"

The Doctor froze in his tracks. He'd been avoiding that question for years now.

"You always say that we're the last of the Timelords. How is that possible?"

The Doctor knelt down in front of her. "Elise, you have to understand something. What I did..."

Elise looked at him confused.

"Do you remember the Naismith Mansion?"

Elise nodded.

"You escaped something called the Timelock. It was a device designed to trap the Time War in a moment. We can never go back to Gallifrey because it doesn't exist anymore. There are only two Timelords left in the universe. Me and you." The Doctor watched as her blue eyes filled with tears.

"So they're all gone? Everyone?"

"I'm sorry." Elise sniffled and wiped her face, trying to hold back the tears. Her entire family, all her friends. They were all gone and she'd never see them again.

The Doctor wrapped his arms around her as she started crying. "I am so sorry," he told her.

Elise tried pulling away from him, hitting him on the chest and shoulders.
