I sat there on the hard stone floor of the castle, or what was left…

My golden hair had fallen out of my usual ponytail and was flowing freely in the wind. My green and gold knee length dress was ruined, covered in cuts and burn marks. My shoes lost. Everything was silent, no birds singing, no kids laughing, nothing. Only the soft sound of the wind blowing… I looked at the cracked picture frame in my hands, my bright emerald-green eyes looked back at me on the reflective surface. The picture inside the frame was of my family. My mother, Father, older brother, the twins and myself looked back at me, but they were smiling…

A single tear ran down my cheek and dripped onto the glass surface.

I wasn't sure how long I sat there, when I heard a sound. My head snapped up towards the noise. I had never in all my life heard a noise like that! It was sort of like a whirring, weezing noise. I stood up as quietly as I could. I had to bite back a cry as I had several injuries, including a giant cut on my side and I was pretty sure my left leg was broken. But I needed to know what the noise was! I might be them. I limped silently towards the archway into the next room, making sure to stay out of sight.

I heard a man's cheery voice; "We have arrived on Planet Klarrison, home of- No! No no no! This isn't it! I don't know what this is!" I saw a man, that looked slightly older than me, with floppy brown hair, wearing a brown tweed jacket and red bowtie, arms outstretched. I took the golden bow off my back and loaded an arrow. I let my arrow loose and it caught the edge of the arm of his jacket, pinning him to the wall behind him. I didn't want to kill him just keep him there so I could get some answers!

He looked at the arrow in surprise.

"Oh. Um… Thats not good. Ponds, stay in the Tardis!" He yelled behind him. "Ah… um… I mean no harm! I came here by accident!" He shouted worriedly in my direction. I stayed hidden and just listened.

"Can you come out? I really don't mean any harm! You must be a nice fellow to not kill me and just pin me! Remarkable aim! Really!" I rolled my eyes at the fact he instantly thought I was a man. I saw him struggle to take the arrow out and failing. "Unless you just missed and-"

"I don't miss." I cut him off, surprised at how strong my voice was after the constant crying. I went into the open, trying to hide how weak I was at the moment. His eyes widened when he saw me.

"Oh." He said. He swallowed before speaking again; "Hello! I'm the Doctor!" He greeted. I was shocked at how cheery he could be after what had happened on this planet!

"Taryn." I answered. "If you don't mind me asking; Doctor who?" He smiled at me when I said this. I was confused about this strange appearing man and I just wanted to run and hide, but I had to find out if he worked for them.

"Just the Doctor!" He replied. "Taryn. Thats a beautiful name. Uncommon." He smiled at me, I didn't smile back. I don't think I remembered how to anymore… His stopped smiling when he saw my grave expression.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.

"I… I'm fine." I stammered, looking away.

"No. You're not. You're limping and there's blood and marks! Something's happened… Wh-" He started before a red haired woman came storming in.

"Doctor!" She yelled, I aimed my bow at her warily. She stopped when she saw me. "Who's she?" She asked

"Amy! The Doctor told us to sta-" A brown haired man said rushing into the room, also stopping when he saw me. The Doctor turned to me and held up his free hand;

"No no no! They're my friends! They are harmless!" He said quickly

"Harmless! I am not har-" The girl, Amy i'm guessing, argued before the Doctor cut her off by glaring.

"No she is harmless! This is Amy and Rory." He introduced them. "Amy, Rory this is Taryn."

I lowered my bow, nodding my head in greetings.

"Hello." Rory said smiling.

"Is she mute?" Amy asked, seeming to forget that i was standing right there.

"Obviously not. Otherwise how would he know my name?" I snapped. Amy seemed taken back by my rudeness. I closed my eyes and let out a breath.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude, just a lot's been going on." I apologised. I noticed that the Doctor was still pinned to the wall, I limped over and pulled the arrow out easily and placed it back in my quiver, the Doctor seemed surprised that I could pull it out so easily while he was struggling.

"It's okay. I didn't mean to be rude either. Though, whatever happened must've been bad, you look really upset." She said kindly.

"I think just having a war so big that you became the last of your race is pretty bad." I said finally, falling to the floor. I guess I just realised that I was truly alone. Everyone died… Everyone but me.

Even though she just met me, Amy ran over and fell next to me, hugging me tightly. I cried into her shoulder, for once letting myself be weak in front of others. All of a sudden I heard screaming! Women, men and children screaming! It was everywhere, no one else seemed to hear it. I pushed Amy away and put my hands over my ears, trying to stop the pain filled cries. I heard so much pain…

"STOP IT!" I yelled. "Stop the screaming! They're in so much pain! Just STOP IT!" I shut my eyes, only to regret it. Images of burning buildings and war filled my head. But it wasn't the war that ended my planet. It was another war, another planet! I saw children running across the red grass, screaming, just wanting to get away! Tears fell quickly down my face.

"Doctor! What's going on! Doctor help her!" I heard Amy and Rory yelling at the Doctor who seemed lost in his own thoughts.

Suddenly the Doctor snapped out of it and noticed me on the floor. He ran to me, wrapping his arms around me in a tight hug. The screaming had stopped, but I couldn't forget how much pain they went through.

It felt so real… It felt like I was the war that destroyed my kind again. But it wasn't my kind that was being destroyed this time... Through out all the pain and screaming, two words were being said again and again

"T-time Lords…" I whispered, tears still falling. I felt the Doctor stiffen.

He held me, rocking me slightly and murmuring words in a language I didn't know. But it was comforting. Eventually I had calmed down enough, the Doctor seemed to notice this and he pulled away but stayed sat down on the floor beside me.

"Taryn? Taryn, it's okay now. It's all over…" He said, taking my face in his hands. I looked at him, nodding slightly.

"T-that was your planet, wasn't it?" I asked quietly. He nodded, pulling his hands away and looking at the floor. His head snapped up, seeming to remember something.

"What happened? Explain it. Amy and Rory didn't seem to see or hear anything." He questioned.

"My race is- was sort of telepathic. We have a mind connection. At the moment, my body is weak due to the war that ended my race, therefore my mind is weak and because you weren't purposely searching for other mind connections... You wouldn't have felt mine and I was too weak to feel yours. And because you weren't expecting me to be telepathic, you didn't bother to put up any defenses and when I… I spoke of being the last one… You remembered the pain and screaming and y-you projected it without knowing and I-I felt it… It was so clear and… it hurt so much…" I explained, veering off at the end. The tears had finally stopped but only because I ran out.

The Doctor held me again, whispering calming things under his breath.
