THE LAST TIME LORDS OF GALLIFREY
Please review Beta read by Sunnykisses Disclaimer I own nothing. That can't be right Why can't I own Brax :D Winifred hadn't known where to go, yet she found herself back at the collection in one of the gardens. Slowly, her memories were coming back. At least this place felt familiar to her. Pushing open the doors that led to the collection, she wandered past the Academy students and walked into the lower part of the collection. Instantly, she came face to face with a beautiful woman. The woman was unaware of her presence, but to Winifred she was strikingly familiar. "Romana," Braxiatel answered, running up to stand in front of Pandora, blocking Winifred's view. Pandora laughed delicately "if you like,.after all I do look like her, and I do have her memories." She then kissed Brax lightly on the cheek. In response, he pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her waist in earnest. "I belong to you, my Lady, Madam Imperiatrix." Brax mumbled into her hair. "Good," Pandora smiled. Imperiatrix, Winifred frowned, why was that word so familiar? Words echoed in her head. Pandora, Imperiatrix of Gallifrey "I am Imperiatrix of Gallifrey." A woman sprawled on her bed in a dishevelled heap gasped. Standing above her was a fierce looking lady. "But you are not. You are ill, sick; there is no longer an Imperiatrix of Gallifrey. "There were other images of her ruling, being power mad as people lay dying in the streets. Winifred's mind was wandering. No, she wouldn't be that person. Winifred found herself running away from the collection as fast as she could. Braxiatel was sat in the car, waiting for his daughter. He was getting impatient. Finally, he saw her talking to Joseph and Hass. "Stop dawdling and get in the car," Brax pulled down the window of his car to reprimand his daughter. Aleena threw her rucksack over her shoulder, the wind blowing her blonde hair angrily around her face. There was so much of Romana in her that Brax questioned whether sending her away was really the answer, if not for Pandora's voice whispering in his head telling him to, maybe he would of reached a different conclusion. "It's going to be all right," Brax said, peering at her through his rear mirror once Aleena had clambered into the back seat. "Once you are settled into school, I will come and visit you. It will be good for you to make friends and get a good education." She gave him a sullen look. "I wish Benny was here, she'd never send me away to boarding school." "Benny had to go away." Brax said firmly. "You drove her away!" Aleena snapped. "I did no such thing." Brax looked affronted. It pained him to know he had lost her, but he knew that one day she would come back to him. He was determined to give her little choice over the matter, even if he had to drag her kicking and screaming back to the collection. She was a big part of his plans, but the timing was still not right. "Why can't I join the Academy?" Aleena whined. "Because I said so." "What kind of answer is that?" "A Gallifrean one. Oh, you are just like your mother. Beautiful and intelligent, but lacking any common sense. She was exactly the same at your age" Aleena frowned as the car set off down the snow covered roads. "It's always about you, isn't it? I hate you. Stop the car!" Aleena attempted to open the door, to no avail; Brax had already locked them. "Let me out," she hissed. "Calm down and stop your temper tantrums. You will act like a lady, not a child." "Why are you really sending me away?" Aleena sat back, but was still rigid. "I don't know what you are talking about." "You're scared!" Aleena accused. "Irving Braxiatel does not get scared." Brax laughed. "Coward!" "Ah, yes motives of Irving Braxiatel. A, B, or C." he shot back. Brax and Aleena were still bickering when Brax lost concretion. Pandora's whispers were growing louder. Without noticing, he hit someone. The car went flying through the air. Aleena was flown forward, unconscious. The car skidded on the ice before hanging halfway over a steep cliff. Brax was out for a few seconds, but when he regained consciousness, the car was swaying. He knew any sudden movement would send the car over the edge. He managed to look backwards at Aleena. She was laying there with blood seeping from her head. She wasn't moving. Slowly, he opened the door of the car and headed to the backseat. "Aleena," Brax gently touched her face and checked her weak pulse. She was still alive. "Daddy," she groaned. "It's all right, Aleena. Can you move?" He had already known she was trapped in between the front seat and her own chair. Her legs were being crushed. At that moment something snapped inside him. To see his little girl injured made him regret all of the months he had pushed her away. He needed her like never before. The car was tipping closer to the edge but he wouldn't give up. Managing to release her Brax carried her out before the car fell off the mountain. Gently, he sat Aleena up and placed his coat around her trembling shoulders. Pulling out a flash filled with some sort of liquid, he then let her drink a bit before checking on the person he had hit. "Winifred?" Brax stared in shock at the familiar girl. She was glowing—something only Time Lords did, but that was impossible, she was human wasn't she? Brax stepped back from her in pure shock. Within seconds a light engulfed her and Brax was blinded. He fell to the snowy ground, shielding his eyes. In Winifred's her place was a young woman with blonde hair and striking blue eyes. Brax gasped, immediately knowing who the woman was. "Romana?" He asked "Braxiatel?" The woman asked.
