The Oncoming Storm

I hear the dreaded noise. It is the TARDIS. How has the Doctor found me? Is this what fear feels like? I want to get away, I don't want the Doctor to find me, even if it makes me cowardly. Then I realise something. This is all his fault. He destroyed my ship. He is the reason I was alone for 18 years and didn't get to feel the joy of killing. He is the reason for all of this mess.

There is no point trying to run away, if he found me, he will know I'm here, and he will destroy me if I try to escape, but I might be able to get some revenge if I at least try. I turn round, and I'm half relieved to see that the door is facing the demolished village, whereas I had been moving away from it. I hear voices, and assume one is the Doctor; he must've regenerated again.

"So I got a call saying this village had been completely destroyed, no survivors," good, I thought, "and the reason for the damage is suspected as extraterrestrial." A woman explains. They talked as if they were the Doctor, but they were a woman. It didn't matter, I dismiss the thought quickly. There was no reason they can't have regenerated to be female. The others (who must be her companions) followed. Then, I realise that she said suspected as extraterrestrial and she hadn't mentioned anything about me being a dalek.

I follow as quietly as possible, which isn't very quiet because of the robotic casing. It is a good sound but it isn't subtle. I examine the TARDIS and consider using it to find some other daleks, but know that if I have a potential chance to kill the Doctor, I should take it, not just for myself but for my fleet. My dead fleet. When they reach the village, all four of them split up, and I try to decide whether that is good or bad.

I look at my options and think it would be best to hover up high enough so that none of them see or hear me and observe them from above before making my move.

The Doctor looks around each street in detail, her companions not as much, and she uses the famous sonic screwdriver a lot more than I would have imagined. It buzzes constantly, which isn't a very good tactic in case she ever needs to use it without getting noticed. She talks to the police but doesn't seem to do much. She must be investigating.

She starts to make her way back to the TARDIS having found her companions again, and I think that this is probably the time to show myself.

I land next to the TARDIS when she gets closer to it, and when she sees me she stops and puts her hands out to stop her companions from getting closer to me. I am ashamed to say that I have acquired feelings and thought in the years I spent alone under that pile of cruel rubble and snow, but I have, and it hurt to be seen as such an object that needed shielding from. But then again, it is the truth. I would kill her companions except that that would make the Doctor less keen on talking to me. Wait, did I just say I wanted her to talk to me?! I did not want that. I wanted to kill her. But would that be the best revenge? Knowing her, I might be able to make her feel guilty, and to her, that would be much worse for her. I still hadn't re mastered speaking anyway, but now I was here I might as well try.

"Doc... tooor." I say. My voice sounds rusty, I should just kill her. What am I doing? If other daleks were to find out I talked to her and didn't kill her immediately what would they say? I would just say I took advantage of her weaknesses. "Doc... tor." I say again. I don't even know what I am going to say.

"Did you do this?" She asks threateningly, and I hate to admit it scared me a bit. But it was a stupid question, who else would do this?

"Yeees." I say, pronouncing the 'e' longer than needed.

"Why?" Another stupid question.

"I... I am... a dal...ek"

"You're obviously not up to your full self." She mocks, she has noticed my speech difficulties.

"I... I... you..." I trail off, unable to say more, my systems can't take how strong my feelings are right now.

"What?" She asks, enjoying my pain. What happened to the Doctor wanting peace and kindness?

"You... you blew up my ship" I have to try so hard to speak properly but this time I start to shout, so much contained anger at her for all those years doesn't just disappear. I fire my gun in a random direction for extra effect. "I spent 18 years repairing myself." It was so hard to speak but so worth it to see hints of guilt spread across her face. Then the hints disappear.

"And now what are you going to do?" She asks confidently. I move my gun to aim at her but she gets out her sonic and blocks my still weakened systems. Her companions look surprised that the Doctor has a side to her like this, which is good because if I can't kill her then it could be useful to turn her friends against her.

"Exterminate." I say, not because I am in a position to do so but because it brings confidence.

"You can't." Says the Doctor. Then I come up with something amazing;

"You can." It doesn't like much, but that means a lot to the Doctor, who is apparently against killing. She lowers her sonic, and although I can, I don't shoot because I want to see what the Doctor will do next.

"Not on purpose," she says, much more gravely than she had been talking before. I internally smile.

"You killed the rest... of my fleet. You've killed a lot... of daleks." It is still difficult to speak but I am definitely improving.

"Killing daleks does the universe a favour." She defends herself predictably. This is going well, for me at least.

"People die for you, Doctor." I say, and that really puts her confidence down, I'm not exactly sure who has died for her, but I've heard that the number is high, "you affect so many." I am just going off the top of my head, but this isn't really revenge. I want revenge. I need revenge.

"What do you want?" She asks, unsure, but trying to hide it.

"To exteeerrminate." I say. "Daleks are supreme," it is true, but I want revenge, but my weapons system is still down. I also want other daleks. It has been so long since I last saw one, and felt victory with one. She doesn't say anything, she looks as though she is expecting more. "You made me alone, Doctor, you made me alone for 18 years, I cannot locate any more daleks near enough for me to join them. I want revenge."

She still looks at me, and I am unable to tell what she is thinking. But then, I feel my weapons system rebooting. I just need to buy some more time and not let on that I am repairing (again). I scan her up and down. Then one of her companions speaks, she is the only female companion.

"Doctor, what does it mean?" She asks. She is naive. I am glad when the Doctor still doesn't answer. My weapons can be used again!

"Doctor," I say, "I want to exterminate. Exterminate the Doctor, exterminate the Doctoooor!" I shout and start shooting, moving towards them. I am panicked and I miss. I am so stupid. They run inside the TARDIS while I still shoot randomly. I am so stupid. I just missed such an opportunity. My emotions are becoming too strong.

I look up, there is the sky, and somewhere in the sky are more daleks. I want other daleks. The TARDIS is still there, so I shoot it, but it reflects off it's forcefield and goes off in a completely different direction. Why is it still there? The Doctor steps out. I shoot. It reflects again.

I look at the ground. I am a disgrace. The Doctor walks towards me and I shoot again and again, but it keeps reflecting. I continue shooting none the less, it feels like it's what I should do. Then she puts something on my manipulator arm. I look at it. A vortex manipulator! It is meant for a wrist which means it is loose but it should still work.

The Doctor is soft. I will use it against her one day. I will kill her one day, and if I don't, another dalek will. But for now, I am going to the nearest dalek ship. I can be with other daleks again! I can kill without being questioned as much again! I can be a proper dalek again.
