Love and war

by GoodDalekPeppergrinderfromdowntheRiver

Unaffected, indifferent, gaze conveniently averted by the grieve – that is what they taught her; those were her orders. However, Melody was struggling to block all the other emotions and thoughts bleating through.
You do understand that they will be dead in a few minutes, if you do not move? You heartless, soulless cow, get up! She screamed at herself, though it was to no avail, because she did not even move a centimeter.
Her parents were in imminent danger. The people who cared for her even when she was difficult, stubborn and unlovable. Her brain and heart were howling help them! Yet, she still sat there calmly, not attempting to move.
Run, run, run, run! Said another voice in her head. However, she found herself too compelled watching the Doctor try and heave himself up to get into the TARDIS. What the hell was wrong with you? When you are at war, you follow orders, then flee so you don’t have to see the casualties or collateral damage.

Melody Pond was perplexed. In her head were so many voices, hissing and whizzing around. So many conflicting thoughts colliding against each other and she had no idea what it was she should do. She was being torn apart from the inside.
