Chapter Eighteen - Self Preservation




-3rd Person-

Martha and Kate ran outside and bumped into Latimer on the way.

"Sorry" the called and Timothy has a vision of them but in different clothing, style and surroundings.

"Katherine? Martha?" he questioned

"No now Tim, we're busy!" Martha called back.

-Kate-

We ran in and i stopped having another memory of me running up and shouting Daddy before hugging him. I held my head in pain as memories slowly hit me.

"He's my Dad" i breathed

"Yes, he is. Why is it easy for you not him." she wondered holding onto me as I regained my composure

"Phycic perception field, she did as best as she could but she can't remove instinctual talents" I shrugged and sucked breath.

"That was the other me wasn't it." she nodded in confirmation

"Yes, oh i'm so glad your coming back. Tell what this is."  she held up the item that we had gone to retrieve

"Sonic Screwdriver. It's his. Oh Martha, I defiantly see why he likes you. Come on" I pulled her away and we headed to the dance at the hall.

-----

We arrived at the dance, the man at the entrance was collecting money for the local hospital, when he saw the two of us arriving.

"Oh, Staff entrance i think Miss."

"Yeah well think again mate." We walked into the dance ad I looked around. I spotted someone before my father.

"There he is?" I looked to where she was pointing. Dad was with Matron, yeah I still didn't like her.

"Go talk to her, i might slap her if you don't i'll be with you in a minute." She nodded and I walked over to Tim

"Hello, Tim." he stood up "Didn't think you'd be here."

"I..I.."

"Don't worry I...." I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand and I looked around. Something was wrong.

"Do you think you could do something for me."

"Yes. What is it?"

"I have a feeling I can trust you. So I need you to keep something safe. I went to kiss him on the cheek.

"I need you to keep me safe" I whispered in his ear handing him my watch. I smiled softly at him and headed towards Martha who was now speaking with my father. She held up the screwdriver.

"Do you know what this is? " Martha asked

"Name it." I say "Go on, Dad. Name it."

"John, what is that silly thing?" Matron questioned "John?"  He looked at me and I smiled nodding for him to take it.

"You're not John Smith. You're called the Doctor. The man in your journal he's real. Katherine is really Katelyn. He is you." Martha explained . There was a bang and i took a step back looking at the noise.

"You will be silent!" A man yelled "All of you! I said Silent!"

"Mr Clark what's going on?" Mr Clark turned round and aimed a gun at him before firing reducing the man to dust there were scared screams.

"Uncle John, everything Martha just told you forget it." I took the screwdriver away and hid it.

"We asked for Silence" I bowed my head down "Now then, we have a few questions for Mr. Smith."

"No, better than that" A little girl came forward holding a balloon "The teacher, he's the doctor. I heard them talking. And i presume that his niece is actually his daughter." she said

"You took human form." The boy i think he was called Baines said

"Of course i'm human! I was born human, as were you Baines." Ah I was right "And Jenny, and Your Mr Clark. What's going on? This is madness." Something tell me he wasn't acting. Ugh.

"Oh and human brain too. Simple thick and dull." Baines tried to insult him

"He's no good like this." Jenny stated

"We need the Time Lords."

"Easily Done." Bains held up the Gun at Dad.

"Change back!" he yelled and my Dad started to become stressed and overwhelmed t the situation that was unfolding before him. The process worked a little to well on him and just about worked on me.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Change back!"

"I literally do not know..." I screamed a little  as I was taken, well more like yanked into a restriction.

"She's your daughter isn't she. Doesn't this scare you enough to change back." Dad was gobsmacked. God he is useless as a human.

"Wait, the maid told me about him and the matron, that woman there." Jenny pointed to the matron.

"Lets have you then" She was taken hostage

"Have you enjoyed it doctor? Being human? Has it taught you wonderful things? Are you better, richer, wiser? Then let us see you answer this. Which one of them do you want us to kill? Maiden or Matron. Your daughter or your lover. Your choice."

...

"Make your Decision Mr Smith." Jenny says.

"Perhaps if that human heart breaks, the Time Lord in both of them with emerge." I gasped feeling senses come back. I lifted my leg up and kicked Jenny. Turning us around I grabbed the gun and held the gun against  her. though i was a little short. Back to the matter.

"All right. One more move and I shoot." I threatened, granted not much went in my favour but survival instincts, gotta love them.

"Oh, the daughter's full of fire!"

"And you can shut up!" I fired the gun above me as a warning. Everyone edged back, I may not be old me but this completely human me still had an opinion.

"Careful son of mine. She's all for you so that you can live forever."

"Shoot you down." he threatened

"Try it and we'll die together." I countered

"Would you really pull the trigger? You look scared." He taunted but i gripped it tighter refusing to back down. If my Dad was in any right mind he would probably be doing something the same.

"Scared and holding a gun is a good combination. Do you wanna risk it?" I questioned  "Dad, get everyone out. There's a door at the side. Martha help him." i looked back slightly

"Come on everyone" Martha urged

"Do it Uncle John, I mean you!" I snapped at him glancing back, he was rooted to the spot then kicked back into action.

"Do what they say. Everybody out now! Don't argue, they're mad men that's all you need to know. Susan, Miss Cooper. " Everyone escaped

"Move yourself boy. Back to the school quickly!"

"And you, on you go, shift." I told my Dad, who stopped looking back at me terrified.

"What about you?" I smirked

"I think you escort your lady friend and our friend back to safety. Don't worry i'm not going easily. I am your daughter after all. We're not so easy to get rid of." I turned back  to the situation.

"I'm staying." Martha said. I shoved Jenny back over as Martha took my side.

"Don't try anything. I'm warning you or the boy get's it."

"They're almost brave these two." I start backing up

"I should have taken one of their forms the other maid I think. Much more fun, so much spirit. One of my hands dropped taking Martha's

"What happened to Jenny? Has she gone?" Martha asked clutching to me.

"She is consumed. Her body is mine"

"You mean she's dead."

"Yes, and she went with precious little dignity all that. Ah! Screaming" I jumped

"Get the gun" it was taken from me but we got free and ran out. Dad was just standing there.

"Don't just stand there, move. God you're rubbish as a human, come on!" I swapped Martha's hand for his and pulled him along.
