Summary: What did the Doctor see when he looked into the Untempered Schism? Set during The Sound of Drums
Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me.
The Doctor sits there eating his chips. He has just told Martha and Jack about what happened to the Master when he was a child. He had glazed over as usual the effect it had on him. He couldn't explain it to them, not really.
The Doctor hadn't thought about it for years. Looking into the Untempered Schism. He couldn't describe it, not in any terms that anyone except a fellow Time Lord would understand. He can remember staring into it and having the feeling that it was staring into him. He was only 8. What was he suppose to see? They never told him, his fellow Time Lords had said it was unique for everyone. He stared at it, then he heard a scream. He looked around to see if anyone else had heard it. From the look of his teachers apparently not. He turned back to the Schism. He saw images, people in pain, people crying for someone to help, for someone to make them better. There was so much evil and no-one did anything to stop it. Right there and then he swore he would find a way to help, that he would be a doctor.
No, he would be THE Doctor, the person that made people better.
