Plot Twist

Chapter 3: Cyberman and Dalek-ette Part 1

I roll down the hallway of the spaceship with my best friend on my side.  We, as Daleks, take friendships very seriously.  In preparation for a soon to come battle, we have a deep conversation to get out minds working.

"DALEK BOB?" I say.

"YES DALEK JULIA,' he answers.  I can feel the lovingness in his voice.  No wait, I can't.  Daleks have no feelings.  I am a Dalek.  I can't have any feelings.  Conceal, don't feel, Julia.

"HOW MANY KILLS TODAY?" I ask him.  Dalek Bob has an inner weather channel installed into his hard  drive.  All of the Dalek info is stored in there.

"TWENTY SEVEN" he responds.  I smile.  This is why Dalek Bob is my best friend.  He's just a little different.  I can hear it in his voice.

BEEP!  A red light flashes on my eye screen.  The little voice yells out that my wiring is short circuiting.  This is why I'm having feelings right now.  I get it.  I guess I'll have to fix it after the battle; It's only red, so it can wait.  I'd have a problem if it was purple.

"IS EVERYTHING FUNCTIONING WELL DALEK JULIA?" awwwwwww he cares

"EVERYTHING IS FINE.  THANK YOU DALEK BOB."  He stops abruptly.  He turns.

"DALEKS DO NOT FEEL COMPASSION.  DALEKS ARE WAR.  YOU ARE A DALEK.  YOU ARE NOT A FILTHY HU--"  his words get cut off as his insides... explode.  I scream-- well, as much as a dalek can.  I turn to see who the attacker is.  I had almost forgotten that we were on the enemy ship.  We were on the same ship as the Cybermen.  I turn, little whisk thing ready.

"EXTERMIN--" The Cyberman uses his special magnetic weapon thing to pull me close to him, and he brings us both into come sort of small room.  Panicked, I try again.

"EX-" he puts his hand gently on my head, immediately silencing me.

"I WILL DESTROY YOU" I threaten him.  I try to sing myself some Dalek motavations songs.  

"I need fighting war/

That is my simple request/

All things killing yay!/

bigger and better and best/

This is so insipring just to help me kill/

I need a little war war war is that so wrong?"  I sing in my head.  It doesn't help.

The Cyberman speaks, "I NOTICE YOU ARE DIFFERENT.  I AM DIFFERENT TOO."  He bows his head in shame.  I don't know how to respond.  If I was in training school and I was following their procedure, The cyberman would have been dead and gone a long time agp.  But something inside tells me not to go through with that.

"DIFFERENT IN WHICH WAY" I ask him.  He smiles.  Well, Cybermen can't smile, but his eyes light up with something I can only comprehend as at opposite of hatred.   He reaches out his metal hand, brings it close to me... I roll back a bit.  No.  I don't know what I'm feeling.  I've never felt like this, in fact I never felt at all.

But when the cyberman's hand touched my toilet plunger thing, I remember that I do feel those things.  I just don't remember.  My vision spins, and I am thrown into the time vortex that exists in my mind.

Is this what my life flashing before my eyes means?  I see things that I didn't remember happening to me.  I see a human baby being carried in a mother's arms.  The mother is with a man, the father.  They are looking at the baby with so much love in their eyes, I can't take it.

I notice her features.  She has beautiful red hair and hazel eyes.  The man is blonde with a pony tail in his hair.  He has a sort of sea-green eyes.  The mother brings the baby close and wishperes something in her ear.

"Congratulations little Julia Pond.  You are the first baby to make it a full year with us!"  She gives a sad kind of laugh.  "You know, Julia, you have an older sister, but she's somewhere far away."  She looks up at the sky and the baby laughs.

My brain finally connects, and my mind is blown.  No, it's not exploded.  I don't know where I came up with that term.  But that doesn't matter.  I don't.... I can't... I don't understand.

But I do understand.

no

no

no

The baby is me.
