Hey, guys. I did not completely come up with this one, it was part of a roleplay that I do. It was a good plotline, so I made it into a story

I do not own Doctor Who, or really any of the characters in here, as they are the property of my role play friends... The responses of River's are the only part that I own

River was walking down the street when she heard the voice of her son in law, Zak, who was, unfortunatly, a Kovarian.

"Mother. I have a present for you" Curiosity got the better of River. She hid herself behind a bush and decided to watch. Zak handed Madame Kovarian a glass jar that contained a small person. A person who appeared to be River's daughter, Trisha.

"This is Trisha's soul. Take care of her" Saying this, he walked off. River didn't understand why he would give this to her or how he had managed to do it. But she knew one thing. She wasn't going to let him get away with it. She ran up to him.

"Hello Melody " he said, with an evil grin

"What have you done to my daughter? I swear to god, I'll kill you"

"Too late. I'm already dead" he said with a smirk

"I'll make it a fate worse than death!" she threatened, as Trisha walked up

"No, Ma. I love him" she said, snuggling into him. River ignored Trisha.

"What have you done to her? She isn't acting normal because someone stole her soul!"

"I love her. I won't hurt her" he said, slightly hurt by what had just happened. He left, leaving Trisha with River, a vacant look on her face. "Sweetie, why don't you get some rest?" she asked, hoping that that would help, even knowing it wouldn't. They went back to the TARDIS, and Trisha fell asleep in her arms, not herself at all.


"Give my daughter her soul back!" River said hysterically to Madame Kovarian the next day.

"You're too late, dearie. I don't have it anymore"

"Then who does? I won't let you hurt her!"

"The devil. Good luck against him" That said, Madame Kovarian vanished. River didn't mind. She was already gone. She had a soul to get back.


She stormed up to the Devil. "Why have you taken my daughter's soul?"

He gave a small chuckle and then stood up off of his throne. "I didn't take it. Zak did. He gave it to me for safekeeping"

"I'm well aware! Give it back"

"If Zak requests it back, then I will return it to him"

"I'll bring you both down!"

"And your daughter? I have her soul right here. I'm well prepared to destroy it" he raised the glass jar. The minature figure jumped at that

"No! Save me!" she pounded on the glass. Trisha appeared behind the devil, staring vacantly.

"You'll raise an army against yourself. You will be destroyed" River made one more desperate plea.

"All armies can be defeated" he said simply, shattering the container and destroying Trisha's soul. She collapsed beside him. He grinned.

"No!" came the unisin cry from River and Zak "Bring her back! Reverse it!" Zak cried out. Maybe he truly did love her.

"What's done is done" the Devil said "There is only one way to save her"

"Tell me and I'll do it!" He pleaded.

"If one of her family members gives me their soul, I can put it in Trisha and bring her back" Zak slumped down. He gave a look to River, begging for forgiveness

"I work for him. I've already lost my soul"

"Then take mine" she said, standing up, and walking to the Devil. "You need a soul? Give her mine."

"Very well" he said. He pulled River's soul from her and put it into Trisha. River collapsed to the ground.

"No!" Trisha cried, having just woken up "Mother don't!"

"Too late" The Devil replied, an evil glint in his eye
