Chapter One

Rory Williams thought to himself, "He always does this, he just acts. He's so impulsive and look where it brought me. He has gotten me killed numerous times and has even erased me from history. Why couldn't he ever think of anyone's safety ever? The Doctor, Amy's Raggedy Doctor. He shows off, he wants everyone to believe that he is so clever, so smart and in control. But he's not, he's a manipulative old man and he's dangerous."

Amy's cries of pain brought him back out of his thoughts and into reality. She was lying on the floor of the TARDIS, and she was so cold and weak. "Doctor do something, this is your fault," Rory screamed, "Help her."

The Doctor looked down at Rory, he saw a desperate man trying to save a dying woman, the most important woman in his life. Solemnly he said, "There's nothing I can do."

Anger flashed through Rory's veins, but seeing his wife begin to cough up blood brought him momentarily out of it. He looked at her and held her hand, "Amy the Doctor's wrong, it's going to be okay," she began to cough up more blood and Rory could see the fear in her eyes. "Amy I love you, you can't leave me," Rory begged.

Weak from internal bleeding she looked up at her husband and said, "I love you Rory Williams." And then she was gone.

"No, no, no, no. Amy! Amy please, remember playing dress up, and our wedding. Amy what about our daughter? I can't do this by myself," pleaded Rory to the corpse of his wife.

The Doctor placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Rory she's gone. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Rory stood up abruptly and grabbed the Doctor and snarled, "No you're not. This is your fault. It's always your fault. All you ever do is get people hurt." And with that Rory's fist made contact with the time lord's face. The Doctor lay on the ground; his nose was broken and was bleeding. "First you get me killed, you lose my daughter, and then you get my wife killed. Don't you ever think! Or is this all a big game to you Doctor?"

"Rory she was my best friend, I never wanted this to happen."

"Doctor she was my wife and you got her killed. I don't care that you didn't want it to happen. You never want anything bad to happen, but it does. And it's always your fault."

"Rory, I'm sorry okay. I should have been more careful, I should have done more."

"Save it Doctor, it doesn't matter what you should have done. It's what you did do that counted."

"Rory Pond you're right. You're a better man than I'll ever be and you're right about me. I don't think. I just do things without thinking about the consequences. I don't think about how people might get hurt, but they do and it took this to show me."


Right so this is my first full length story to be published online, and well I've decided to go dark with it. Everyone seems to portray the Doctor as this wonderful person, and trust me I love the show and how he is portrayed, but the doctor is rarely seen as being the bad guy. He is clearly manipulative (watch "The Girl Who Waited" for a perfect example) and is extremely impulsive.
