Failure

Time is running out. The sun is rising. The guards will be coming for me soon. Doctor, can you not hear me?

Or have you not forgiven me for betraying you to Becka and King James? Do you want me to know how it feels? To be wrongly accused, denied, dragged off, imprisoned?

I don’t blame you if that is the case. The look on your face as I gave the damning evidence against you – the disappointment, that cut deep. But you don’t want me to die for it, do you? I deserve to suffer for it, but think what I’d been through that day, how scared I was. You were incredible, but this was the King, and my cousin, the only family I had left. And if I hadn’t said what they wanted, they’d have killed me too. Is that why I deserve to die now? Because if I had done the right thing, I would be dead already? Perhaps there is some justice in that. But it doesn’t feel like the Doctor’s justice. Perhaps you are just leaving it until the last moment, to make your dashing entrance, to rescue me.

You had better hurry. I can hear the guards’ footsteps. I have to stop writing, and hide this in the wall, behind the brick I loosened, only to find many more bricks behind. Perhaps one day you’ll find this and read it and at least bring my memory to life, so someone will know the end of my story. Or perhaps no one will read it and no one will care. The witch is dead.
