The group paused in surprise, turning to face the hostess who was staring directly at Sky, willing to get her away.
"I beg your pardon?" Hobbes and Sky bit out indignantly.
"Can we do that?" Val and Sky asked.
"Don't be ridiculous." The Doctor and Sky replied, horrified and angered that it was even suggested.
"That thing, whatever it is, killed the driver, and the mechanic, and I don't think she's finished yet." The hostess and Sky pointed out.
"She can't even move!" The Doctor and Sky exclaimed angrily, pointing behind him.
"Look at her, look at her eyes!" The hostess and Sky insisted, "She killed Joe, and she killed Claude, and we're next."
"She's still doing it." Biff and Sky growled, storming over to the woman and towering over her, "Just stop it! Stop talking! Stop it!" He and Sky screamed.
"Biff, don't, sweetheart!" Val and Sky pleaded as the woman held her hand out to her husband. He calmed down slightly as he turned back to his wife.
"But she won't stop!" He and Sky snapped, "We can't throw her out though, we can't even open the doors."
"No one is getting thrown out!" The Doctor and Sky told him in warning. They stared each other down until Biff relented, moving back over to his wife and son.
"Yes, we can." Dee Dee and Sky spoke up confidently after a pause, "Cos there's an air pressure seal." She turned to the hostess, "Like when you opened the cabin door, you weren't pulled out, you had a couple of seconds, cos it takes the pressure-wall about six seconds to collapse. Well, six seconds exactly. That's enough time to throw someone out."
"Thanks, Dee Dee, just what we needed." The Doctor and Sky retorted sarcastically.
"Would it kill her, outside?" Val and Sky asked quietly.
"I don't know, but she's got a body now, it would certainly kill the physical form." Dee Dee and Sky replied.
"No one is killing anyone!" The Doctor and Sky snarled, standing in the doorway to the front of the cabin as if he could physically stop them.
"I wouldn't risk the cabin door twice, but we've got that one. All we need to do is grab hold of her and throw her out." The hostess and Sky explained, everyone now effectively ignoring him.
"Now, listen, all of you." The Doctor and Sky tried, "For all we know that's a brand new life form over there. And if it's come inside to discover us, than what's it found? This little bunch of humans, what d'you amount to? A murder? Cos this is where you decide. You decide who you are. Could you actually murder her? Any of you? Really? Or are you better than that?" Hobbes looked distinctly uncomfortable as they all pondered on the dilemma he'd presented them. He stepped back slightly, confident he'd convinced them to stop and think about what they were doing.
"I'd do it." The hostess and Sky declared, knocking his hope back.
"So would I." Biff and Sky agreed.
"And me." Val nodded, Sky speaking along with her.
"I think we should." Dee Dee and Sky decided. The Doctor looked between them, unable to believe what he was hearing. The universe had been screaming at him for centuries about the terror of the human race, and each time he'd argued it away, but maybe this is what they'd be talking about. This part of humanity.
"What?!" He and Sky exclaimed.
"I want her out." Dee Dee and Sky reasoned.
"You can't say that!" He and Sky insisted.
"I'm sorry, but you said it yourself, Doctor, she is growing in strength." Dee Dee pointed aggressively over at the woman crouched in the opposite corner.
"That's not what I said!" He and Sky replied. There was a better way, there was always a better way.
"I want to go home. I'm sorry. I want to be safe." Dee Dee and Sky almost sobbed and he realised that Dee Dee was just a scared, naïve girl who was going along with the rest. Maybe if he could get through to her then she could help him with the rest.
"You'll be safe, any minute now, the rescue truck is on its way." He and Sky reassured her gently, "Danni, tell them..." He turned to Danni, who slowly looked up at him with wide, apologetic eyes. The flashes she had seen all revolved around Sky, she needed to be stopped, maybe this was the best way. All she wanted was the Doctor safe and she'd kill the universe for that. It was just one woman, after all. One kick to the back and she'd be out of them doors before they could blink and it wasn't like it would hurt, was it? Being disintegrated must be pretty much instantaneous, it seemed like it when she saw it on TV anyway. She could do that, very easily in fact. She may not be in the same physical shape she once was, but with everyone else helping her to get Sky to the door she'd push her out no problem.
"Er..." She stuttered out, the devastated look that his eyes held breaking her heart and she shook her head with a sigh. He wouldn't want her to kill for him, he'd killed too much and he wouldn't want that for her, "Of course we can't chuck her out. She's not done anything wrong, she was just scared." He sighed in relief, placing a kiss on her hair and she smiled, feeling better about her choice. He'd figure something out, he always did.
"But what happens then, Doctor?" The hostess and Sky hissed, "If it takes that thing back to the Leisure Palace, if that thing reaches civilisation, what if it spreads?"
"No, when we get back to the base, I'll be there to contain it." The Doctor and Sky retorted.
"You haven't done much so far!" Val and Sky snapped.
"You're just standing in the back with the rest of us!" Biff and Sky agreed.
"He's been more use than the rest of you." Danni and Sky snarled defensively. The emotions in the room were running high, if they turned on him she'd be right there stopping them.
"She's dangerous." The hostess and Sky decided, "It's my job to see this vessel is safe, and we should get rid of her."
"Now hang on, I think, perhaps we're all going a little bit too far." Hobbes and Sky reasoned calmly. He was a man of science, he refused to act like the rest of them, he was above that.
"At last! Thank you." The Doctor and Sky acknowledged, the Doctor patting the man on the shoulder.
"Two people are dead!" The hostess and Sky hissed.
"Don't make it a third!" The Doctor and Sky snapped and she fell silent. He turned to Jethro, who had been stood quietly watching the group, "Jethro, what d'you say?"
"I'm not killing anyone." Jethro and Sky replied instantly. If anything he was a bit disgusted by his parents' actions, but then again he wasn't surprised.
"Thank you."
"He's just a boy!" Val and Sky exclaimed angrily.
"What, so I don't get a vote?" Jethro and Sky retorted. That was just typical, they were dismissing him again.
"There isn't a vote, it's not happening! Ever." The Doctor and Sky shouted, "If you try to throw her out that door, you'll have to get past me first." They all stared at him, eyeing him up.
"OK." The hostess and Sky declared.
"Fine by me." Biff and Sky added and the Doctor rolled his eyes at them.
"Ohh, now you're being stupid." He and Sky scoffed, "Just think about it! Could you actually take hold of someone and throw them out of that door?"
"Calling me a coward?" Biff and Sky snapped, the man stepping up towards the Doctor. They all began verbally attacking him, trying to get him to back down and join them, but ignoring Danni who had seemed to be on their side until he'd convinced her otherwise. She watched them attacking him, her hands clenching by her sides. He tried his best to reassure them, but they weren't listening. No one ever listened to him. He was their best chance of survival but they quickly turned on him when he didn't go with the majority. They were like wild animals turning on the alpha without realising that it was in their best interest to follow. He was right, when it came down to it they were just stupid bloody apes and it made her skin crawl to think she was one of them. Why did he even put up with her, she must continuously disgust him. She should chuck every single one of them out, save the universe the trouble of having to deal with them itself.
"But how did you know what to do?" Biff and Sky pressed, the Doctor trying to answer their questions but no one was listening to him.
"Because I'm clever!" The Doctor and Sky shouted back in frustration, causing the whole room to fall silent and Danni to sigh; he'd lost them all and by the look on his face he knew it.
"I see." Hobbes and Sky stated as the group seemed to move together and away from him, "Well. That makes things clear."
"And what are we, then? Idiots?" Biff and Sky asked.
"That's not what I meant." The Doctor and Sky insisted.
"If you're clever then what are we?" Dee Dee and Sky retorted.
"You've been looking down on us from the moment we walked in." Val and Sky almost growled.
"Even if he goes, he's practically volunteered." The hostess and Sky pointed out.
"Oh come on, just listen to yourself, please!" The Doctor and Sky exclaimed in exasperation.
"What d'you mean - we throw him out as well?" Biff and Sky asked and the Doctor's mouth dropped in shock, Danni tensing at the threat.
"If we have to." The hostess and Sky replied.
"Oh I bloody dare you." Danni and Sky snarled, moving over Biff, staring him down, "I dare you, you silly little man to try and touch a hair on his head. You think you should be worried about them." She grabbed Biff's collar, surprising everyone with her strength as she pulled him down to her eye level, "Wait until you get a load of me. He may have morals, but I will chuck each and every one of you out of this shuttle if you try and touch him, because I don't care. I don't care about saving any of you." She shoved him back at the feeling of the Doctor placing a hand on her arm. She stepped back, the man blinking at her as the Doctor pulled her against him. He had to take back control of the situation, he couldn't let her fall so deeply into her own head. The last time she'd sent Luke to his death and he'd seen what it'd done to her to do that. He had to save her.
"Look, just..." The Doctor took a deep breath, Sky pausing with him, "Right, sorry, yes, hold on, just... I know, you're scared, and so am I, look at me, I am. But we have all got to calm down and cool off and think."
"Perhaps you could tell us your name." Hobbes and Sky pressed. The man wouldn't tell them who he was, that in itself was suspicious.
"What does it matter?" The Doctor and Sky asked.
"Then tell us." The hostess and Sky demanded.
"John Smith." He and Sky shot back, the first name that always popped into his head. Immediately he could tell that wasn't the best thing he could've said, the room scoffing back.
"Your real name." Hobbes and Sky retorted.
"He's lying, look at his face." Biff and Sky decided.
"His eyes are the same as hers."
"Why won't you tell us?!"
"He's been lying to us, right from the start!"
"No-one's called John Smith! Come off it!" They all began talking at once, the Doctor insisting they listen to him, worried that he wouldn't be able to pull it back. Danni frowned, turning to Sky as she caught onto what the woman was doing. Jethro, who was just overwhelmed latched onto the first new behaviour from anyone and followed her gaze. Danni glanced at him, her eyes alarmed and he nodded, he could hear it too.
"Mum, stop, just look..." Jethro stuttered out quietly.
"You keep out of this, Jethro." Val snapped at her son. He was just a boy, he didn't understand the danger they were in.
"Look at her!" Jethro shouted back and they all stopped their chatter, noticing it as well.
"She's stopped..." Dee Dee breathed and they all turned to look at Sky, who had stopped repeating everyone.
"When did she...?" The Doctor and Sky started, but she was still copying him, "No, she hasn't, she's still doing it."
"She looks the same to me... No, she's stopped! Look, I'm talking, and she's not!" Val cried out in relief.
"What about me, is she...? Look! Look at that! She's not doing me, she's let me go!" Biff cheered.
"Mrs Silvestry?... Nor me! Nothing!" The hostess breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was all over and they could go home.
"Sky? What are you doing?" The Doctor and Sky called over, the woman still copying him.
"She's still doing him!" Dee Dee exclaimed, pointing at him.
"Doctor, it's you. She's only copying you." Hobbes declared, relieved that he was free but he could see it wasn't over.
"Why me? Why are you doing this?" The Doctor and Sky asked.
"Because you're clever." Danni whispered, turning to him, "I know it's hard, but you need to stop talking. I... I think it wants you now." She couldn't remember, all she could see was him crouched on the floor like Sky as the woman smirked, walking through the cabin. How come she couldn't remember? She must have seen it somewhere, otherwise why would she have any memory of it. She had to calm down, she was panicking and she had to think it through. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, running through every episode she could remember with Ten in. New New Earth was first, wasn't it? But that didn't matter, she'd already been there. Actually, she could probably discard each one with Rose in, because Rose never left his side. So then was it Martha? There was the Family of Blood episodes, she could remember those but that was on Earth and he wasn't human so it wasn't them. There was that one in space, but that was with that 'Burn with Me' thing, this wasn't that.
"Do we have a deal?" Her eyes snapped opened as she heard Sky speak first.
"Do we have a deal?" The Doctor echoed and her world collapsed in front of her. The Doctor was frozen on the floor in front of the blonde woman, eyes wide just like she had remembered.
"No." Danni cried, pushing past everyone to fall to the floor in front of him, "Doctor! Doctor, please talk me." She began crying as he just stared back, eyes wide. She hadn't been paying attention, and this had happened. It was all her fault.
"Hold on, did she...?" Dee Dee asked, walking towards the pair in disbelief.
"She spoke first." Jethro confirmed. His mum shook her head.
"She can't have." Val dismissed.
"She did!" Hobbes replied, they'd all heard her.
"She spoke first!" Jethro exclaimed.
"Oh, look at that, I'm ahead of you." Sky breathed in triumph.
"Oh, look at that, I'm ahead of you." The Doctor repeated.
"Did you see? She spoke before he did! Definitely!" Hobbes cried, walking towards them, the scientist inside him unable to not examine what was happening.
"He's copying her." Jethro stated lowly. That wasn't right, was this the third stage the Doctor had been talking about?
"Doctor, what's happening?" Hobbes asked the man. They may have just turned on him, but he did seem to know more about what was happening.
"Doctor." Danni sobbed, "Please, Doctor talk to me. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She gripped his arm tightly but he wouldn't... couldn't turn his head to look at her. Oh god, she'd let him down. She had one job, one job and it was to make sure he was okay. And look how good she'd done. She was useless, bloody useless like the rest of the humans in the shuttle.
"I think it's moved." Sky stated slowly.
"I think it's moved." The Doctor repeated.
"I think it's letting me go."
"I think it's letting me go." The Doctor repeated.
"What do you mean? Letting you go from what?" Dee Dee asked.
"But he's repeating now, he's the one doing it! It's him!" Biff shouted, pointing at the man as the two people crouched on the floor continued to stare at each other. Danni felt the Doctor shake underneath her grasp as he tried to fight whatever Sky was doing to him.
"They're separating." Jethro watched them, watched the red-headed woman break down in tears in front of them as the Doctor mimicked whatever Sky was doing. She'd been by his side through everything, and she was distraught. She didn't know what he was doing, so it stood to reason that neither did the Doctor.
"Mrs Silvestry? Is that you?" Hobbes called over and the woman nodded slowly.
"Yes, yes, it's me."
"Yes, yes, it's me."
"I'm coming back, listen. It's me!"
"I'm coming back, listen. It's me!" The Doctor replied, completely motionless as Sky began to slowly move her hands and head as if breaking free of whatever was holding her rigid.
"Like it's passed into the Doctor. It's transferred. Whatever it is, it's gone inside him." Jethro stated but Dee Dee shook her head.
"No, that's not what happened." She insisted. Nothing had transferred anywhere. She knew what she saw, and the Doctor had been trying to fight it.
"But look at her!" Val exclaimed, motioning to the woman on the floor. She could move again, she was talking on her own again and that was good enough for her.
"Look at me, I can move, I can feel again." Sky crowed.
"Look at me, I can move, I can feel again." The Doctor repeated.
"I'm coming back to life. And look at him, he can't move. Help me. Professor? Get me away from him. Please." She begged, the Doctor repeating every tone as well as the speed of what she was saying, his teeth gritted as he tried to fight it.
"Please." Stepping around the Doctor, the professor held his hand out to Sky, who took it gratefully. He helped her off the floor and to the back of the shuttle with the rest where she continued to talk, making the Doctor repeat everything she was saying.
"Please, Theta." Danni leant forward, whispering in his ear as she clung to him, "Please let me know what to do. How can I help you?" She reached into his pockets, pulling out his screwdriver. She set it off, watching the blue light flare as it buzzed in her hand, "I have no idea how to use this!" She laughed at the bleakness of what was happening, "God, I'm just fucking useless, aren't I? You were right, I should just go home and leave you alone."
"Well, there we are then! Now the only problem we've got is this Doctor." Biff stated confidently and Danni's head snapped around.
"Excuse me?!" She screamed and Sky nodded.
"It's inside his head." Sky purred.
"It's inside his head." The Doctor repeated and Danni frowned, why was she saying that?
"It killed the driver." Sky pointed out, crossing her arms as she stared at the back of his head.
"It killed the driver." The Doctor repeated.
"And the mechanic." She continued.
"And the mechanic." The Doctor repeated.
"And now it wants us."
"And now it wants us." Danni caught her gaze and Sky smirked triumphantly. She shot up from her place by his side, her vision going red as she finally had enough.
"Shut up!" Danni screamed, "Stop saying those horrid things! It's you, you stupid cow and I'm going to kill you!" She grabbed a metal bar that had held the seats together and charged at Sky.
No, don't please!
She skidded to a stop, the sobbing voice in her own head causing her to reluctantly drop the bar before Hobbes and Biff could get near her to stop her. Why should she wait? The woman obviously had a hold of the Doctor, she had to die at some point, why not now?
No one has to die. Please, I don't want to kill anyone.
"Maybe you should stay with the Doctor." Val snapped in warning, moving in front of Sky as if to protect her.
"Maybe you'll be next." Danni snapped in reply, "She likes you." She stepped in front of the Doctor, making sure no one could get to him without passing by her first.
"He's waited so long." Sky declared, the Doctor repeated every word, "In the dark. And the cold. And the diamonds. Until you came. Until you came. Bodies so hot. With blood. And pain." She described, the Doctor's repetition making everything sound horrid.
"Stop, oh, my God, make him stop, someone make him stop!" Val shouted, terrified once again.
"But she's saying it!" Dee Dee defended. This wasn't right, this was exactly what the Doctor said would happen. Stage 3, whatever that meant.
"And you can shut up!" Val shouted at her.
"But it's not him, it's her, he's just repeating!" Dee Dee insisted.
"But that's what the thing does, it repeats!" Biff pointed out.
"Just let her talk!" The hostess interjected.
"What do you know? Fat lot of good you've been!" Danni watched them argue between themselves, each one as useless and pathetic as the last. She held the sonic aloft and set it off, the screeching causing everyone to cover their ears.
"Just listen to yourselves." She snarled, "The Doctor was trying to save you, but you don't deserve that, do you? Because even when someone might have a rational explanation you dismiss them!" They all fidgeted on the spot, uncomfortable at the truth in her words, "Dee Dee actually has something to say, why not open your tiny little ape-like minds and listen to her?"
Calm down. This is too much, they're just scared.
Yes, and so is the Doctor and he is infinitely more important that anyone in this shuttle, so pipe down!
"I think..." Dee Dee stuttered and Danni shot her an impatient look, "I mean, from what I've seen... it repeats, then it synchronises, then it goes on to the next stage and that's exactly what the Doctor said would happen!" Jethro glanced back at the Doctor. He wasn't the only one who had noticed it, it seemed Dee Dee and the hostess were just as suspicious of Sky like he was. Trying to be inconspicuous, he shifted over to Danni's side as his parents yet again argued with everyone else.
"It's her, isn't it?" Jethro whispered to Danni. She sighed and nodded her head, reaching out and taking the boy's hand. He blushed slightly at the contact; she was very pretty.
"Just don't panic." She tried to reassure him, "Parents aren't always right, what do you think happened?"
"I think it's like she said," He motioned to Dee Dee, "He's just repeating what Mrs Silvestry is saying." Danni smiled brightly at him.
"I knew you were clever." She praised.
"It went from her, to him. You saw it, didn't you?" Val cried, looking over at Jethro, "Jethro, come back here now." He shook his head.
"No mum." He retorted, "She's right, the voice is the thing and she is the voice." He pointed to Sky who was smirking at them all arguing.
"Oh, don't be stupid, Jethro, of course you did!" Val snapped, annoyed that the ginger girl seemed to have got to him, "Now come here.
"No."
"Everyone saw it, everyone!" Biff snapped, going slightly easy on his son. He knew what fancying someone could do to a lad's head.
"You didn't, you're just making it up!" Dee Dee exclaimed, "I know what I saw, and I saw her stealing his voice."
"She's as bad as him, someone shut her up!" Val raged because she was making sense.
"I think you should be quiet, Dee." Hobbes scolded her.
"Well, I'm only saying..." Dee Dee started.
"And that's an order! You're making a fool of yourself! Pretending you're an expert in mechanics and hydraulics, when I can tell you, you are nothing more than average, at best! Now shut up!" Hobbes snapped, then Danni was in front of his, slapping him hard across the face with an audible whack.
"No, you shut up!" She screamed, "You are just some tired old has been who's upset his life work has been for naught."
"That's how he does it." Sky and the Doctor purred, "He makes you fight. Creeps into your head. And whispers. Listen. Just listen. That's him. Inside." They all listened to the words, but only Hobbes, Val and Biff couldn't see that they were coming from Sky's mouth, not the Doctor's.
"Throw him out!" Biff screamed as his wife slammed her eyes shut, placing her hands on the side of her head.
"Get him out of my head!" She screamed.
"Yeah, we should throw him out!"
"Well, don't just talk about it! Just, you're useless! Do something!" Val goaded him and he nodded, shaking himself into action.
"I will! You watch me! I'm gonna throw him out!" He moved towards the Doctor whose eyes were wide in terror, knowing that without him there they would kill him. Sky fuelled the anger and fear, making him repeat everything she said as Biff wrapped his arms around the Doctor's torso. He cried out as Danni dove at him, ripping his arms from the Doctor and wrestling the much larger man to the floor. She used her knees to pin down his arms, one cracking loudly under the pressure and she grinned in pleasure. Good. She wrapped her hands around his neck, cutting off the cry of pain as she began using all her strength to squeeze his windpipe.
"I'll kill you if you touch him again!" She screamed, spitting slightly in her rage.
Let him go! Please, I don't want to do this!
Oh will you shut up? This was delightful. He was turning her favourite shade of blue, she could get used to this. Who cared if it was just one little life? She wouldn't stop until she extinguished every little flame in the universe. They were all threats, not just the Silents but every stinking being out there in the cosmos. He wouldn't be safe until it was just Danni and the Doctor, in the TARDIS, together.
Just because their scared doesn't mean they deserve this! Please, let him go. Please.
Val and Hobbes pulled the girl off Biff, chucking her onto the wreckage of the chairs as she cried out, the jagged metal tearing her arm up. She watched the blood run down her arm almost gleefully, was everyone filled with the same colour red? Maybe she could find out.
"Don't think I won't destroy you, you fat stupid little ape." She stated lowly, brushing herself down as she stood back up, "You all disgust me, your mob mentality is the reason our species is a plague on this universe and I will end you." She moved in front of the Doctor again, glaring at all of them. The little voice in her head continued to sob, begging her to step down and just look after the Doctor but she brushed it aside with a satisfied push. How easy was that? Nice to know she could protect the Doctor in this condition. "Anyone else want to try?" She taunted, "Come on then." Biff, who was stood gasping for air by his wife, cradled his broken arm as they all trembled under the intense gaze of the small ginger woman. How had she even managed to floor him? He should have been able to overpower her with one arm behind his back? He looked down at his arm, the at her and his eyes narrowed. He stepped forward.
"Go on then." He challenged, reaching down to the Doctor with his good arm. Danni quickly picked up the bar she had found before and swung it at his head, knocking him unconscious and to the ground.
"Biff!" Val cried in panic as she and Jethro rushed to his side. Danni glanced down at the bar then discarded it carelessly to one side then looked at the trickle of blood on Biff's head. His seemed slightly darker than hers. Huh.
What have you done?! Is he okay? Theta will never forgive you for this!
"I hope he's dead." Danni declared to them all, including herself who was sobbing loudly in her head, almost drowning out the drumming that had enabled her to do all this in the first place. She rolled her eyes at the crying, it was entirely unnecessary, "And I hope it hurt, and I hope, I pray that you all try again." Jethro looked up at her, his father was bleeding but he was so hurt by what she'd just done. She just shot him a wink and he frowned, maybe his parents were right all along...
"What do we do?" Val asked, crouched by her husband's side as she stroked his hair.
"Cast him out!" Sky and the Doctor cried, "Into the sun!" Val pointed a shaky finger at the Time Lord, still much more afraid of him than the girl who had knocked her husband out. Just another point in favour of the stupidity of the human race.
"I want him out!" She cried.
"And the night! You can do it! Molto bene!" Val turned to Hobbes.
"Throw him out!" She screeched. The professor shook his head, he actually didn't think it would come to this...
"Molto bene!" The Doctor repeated, catching the attention of both Danni and the hostess.
"You can do it! Molto bene! Allons-y!" Sky and the Doctor called as Hobbes stepped forward, intimidated by the hysterical woman on the floor.
"That's his voice." The hostess said, looking over at Danni in realisation, "It's her, she's stolen his voice!" Danni looked down at the Doctor, then at Sky who was revelling in the frenzied atmosphere. With a battle cry, Danni pushed past everyone else to the blonde woman, grabbing her by her hair. She dragged her over to the door as she fought against her vice-like grip. Danni pulled her down so their faces were touching.
"Wherever you're going," She snarled, shaking her roughly once for emphasis, "Remember me and tell others. I won't let anyone harm the Doctor." She slammed the button on the door and the bright blue sunlight streamed in, the howling outside almost deafening.
"One, two, three, four..." Danni counted.
NO!
She then used what was left of her strength to shove Sky forwards, kicking her in the back of the legs for good measure. The woman screamed as she was sucked out into the world outside and Danni fell over, her head slamming on the floor which a crack. She blinked, her blood running cold as she finally was able to realise just what she had done. She killed someone, she'd actually killed someone. Behind her the Doctor gasped for breath, collapsing onto himself as the bond was broken and he was released.
"It's gone, it's gone... It's gone, it's gone, it's gone... It's gone. It's gone... It's gone, it's gone, it's gone... It's gone, it's gone, it's gone..." He panted, everyone watching and shaking as the reality of the situation finally dawned on them. He pulled himself up, leaning on a seat as he continued to pant. He glanced around, trying to find his Danni-Girl and saw her sit up as well, her arm and head bleeding as she shook, breaking down into tears. He crawled over to her, pulling her in for a hug and clinging to her tightly.
"It's okay, it's gone. I'm sorry." He repeated over and over again, just apologising for everything and anything he could think of, "Don't go home, stay with me always." Her grip on him tightened. She tried so hard to convince herself to calm down, she'd begged and pleaded but the force of the drumming driving her hand squashed her away. She'd killed Sky because she was out of control. She needed to be locked up, she wasn't safe, she was a danger to everyone.
"I'm sorry," The Doctor whispered, "You're safe."
