Doctor Who Novella Novels & Stories

Behind me I hear Viktor swearing in Russian, trying to kick the dog away. “Get off me, you fucking beast!” The dog snarls louder, lunging again. Viktor kicks out, catching it in the ribs. It yelps but doesn’t back down. I reach the stairs, taking them two at a time. My bare feet slap against the concrete. I don’t look back until I’m halfway up. Viktor is still fighting the dog off, blood on his hand now from a bite. His eyes lock on mine for a split second. “This isn’t over, Doctor,” he calls, voice cold. “I’ll have you soon.”

Just then, the door opened, and Doctor Anderson walked in, holding a few papers. “Good evening, Doctor Anderson,” Aria greeted, standing up quickly. “Good evening, Ms. Aria,” he said, his voice calm but serious. “Can we talk for a moment? It’s important.” She felt her stomach drop. Something about his tone wasn’t right. She nodded and followed him out into the hallway. Once they were outside, the doctor stopped and looked straight at her. “Aria, I’m afraid I have bad news,” he said quietly. Her hands began to shake. “What is it, Doctor?”

“What?” “There are anomalies in your cells,” the doctor continued. “Your heart activity…when it stopped…your body restarted itself. On its own. No medication, no intervention, nothing.” Valerio’s hand closed around mine like steel. “What are you saying?” he demanded. The doctor hesitated, looking at me like I was a puzzle he wasn’t trained to solve. “I’m saying… Miss Althea is alive in ways humans shouldn’t be.” My chest tightened. “Alive in… what way?”

My voice a lifeline in the madness. "You're okay. I've got you. I won't let go." Another explosion outside rattles the walls. The camp is turning into a warzone triage center. Then a wolf, half-shifted, barely upright, burst through the door, his eyes wide and frantic. "Doc, Doc! It's Vladimir! He's down! You have to come now!"

"Oh God W-warren, D-dionne! The Doctor is doing CPR now—" I didn't finish what Linux was saying because I ran to my Beloved's room in a panic, the Doctor said he's doing CPR. No, he can't die! I cried while running, A Mafia boss crying.

He paused, his eyes locked onto mine, wide with panic "He keeps most of his plans close to his chest, doesn't really divulge them to anyone," I could tell the Doctor was probably telling the truth, the scent of his fear stung my nostrils. "Tell us what you can," Kai rasped "My wolf is getting hungrier by the second," The Doctor whimpered once more "I don't know anything else, other than he asked me to create a medicinal version of the serum I gave to Elsie," he paused as he took his eyes to Kai, then back to me "A sweet tasting one, like the stuff they give to kids that tastes good, you know the kind?"

"As you said, that is our baby. Now then, explain to me how it is that I see two of those ball things, and…" Xavien cannot even finish his sentence; the Doctor looks back and studies the screen, "Oh, shit." "Yes, oh, shit." I watch as Xavien goes dead quiet, the man has gone even whiter than the Doctor's white coat. Then the Doctor speaks again, "It seems that you are having twins." "Now," Xavien says rather urgent, "I am starting to doubt if you are the right Doctor for us. Before I faint, I need you to tell us otherwise."

I had my charm and it still works, perhaps she was the only soul that it was yet to work on. When the door opened, the Doctor was led into the room by one of the cleaning ladies. This was a different doctor, it wasn't my Doctor, probably a replacement doctor who was called in last minute to tend to my wound and so he had to hurry over here hearing that I just got shot and needed medical help.

I asked "No. I am the only one that has seen the results." "Good. You can't let anyone else know what you have discovered," I said "So, I guess by your reaction, you are not surprised that the Luna is powerful." "No. I am not," I replied "I would never tell anyone what I found," the Doctor said "Thanks. Doc," I replied and left the Doctor's office. j

When he finished, the man opened his mouth to speak, but a knock sounded at the door. "Come in," the Doctor called, and the door opened to reveal Nora. She looked a little shock to see him sitting there, but she got over it and walked inside. "Please, take a sit," the Doctor smiled, pointing to the chair beside the Chief. "So how are you? Do you feel better?" Doctor Ade asked Nora after she has sat down. She nodded, with a small smile. "I'm okay," she answered. "I just don't know why I'm here."
