A/N: I know I haven't updated this in forever but I was reinspired but I had to rewrite what was already written so enjoy!

Gallifrey, The Time War

My legs ached and my lungs burned but I couldn't stop running. The Citadel burned behind me, and the smoke obscured the rise of the second sun. The swaying of the red grass and the glistening of the silver trees was all but a memory by now. When the second sun rose and the light hit the silver trees, it looked as if the forests were on fire. Now they have all burnt up.

My children are dead, and my children's children with them. My mother, my father, my sisters, and my brothers have all been lost. He is all that I have left in this time of war. A war of endless destruction, a senseless annihilation, a timeless obliteration. He is my hope, all that remains in Pandora's box. I must believe in him for if I lost faith then all would be lost.

He is standing in front of me, our Tardis just behind him. "Quickly, my star," he called out to me as I approach. "You must hurry. For our plan to work, you need to leave." He pulls me into him when he can, grabbing my wrist to input the coordinates into the vortex manipulator. "I love you, my star, as much as the infinite universe and the next." He pulls me into a gentle kiss, short and desperate but still filled with love.

I place my hand on his cheek and look into his eyes. "I will see you soon, my moon. I believe in this plan and in you. I know this will work. I love you, eternally."

He hits the button on the vortex manipulator, just as a terrible voice commands, "EXTERMINATE!" The last thing I know is pain and the look of terror in his eyes before a flash of light.
