Chapter Three.
Ianto took a deep breath in, like he had just emerged from deep water with not much oxygen left. He opened his eyes- wait, his eyes were open- to be greeted by darkness.
"Hollurmph?" he tried to talk, but there was something stopping him. A sock, stuffed in his mouth to keep him quiet. He hoped it was a clean one.
"Ah, Ianto Jones, so I'm told," a voice sounded from somewhere across the room. it was a girl's voice, perhaps 20 years old or so, scottish. Definitely scottish, something inside of Ianto concluded. The click of heels on the floor reverberated off the walls, but then a light snapped on, covering the place in bright light. Grubby white walls, stone floor. Cold, stone floor, Ianto added. Then she was there. She was slim, tall, good looking. Ginger. Ginger. There was something wrong. Something very wrong. She stopped right infront of him, crouching so she was right in his face. She maintained eye contact, but... She wasn't looking at him. She untied whatever was holding the old sock in place, allowing him to talk again.
"W-where am I?" he stammered, catching his breath. She just laughed, the giggle ringing in his ears and making his head throb. "Where am I? How to you know my name? What do you want with me?" the throng of questions poured out his mouth, but he couldn't stop. "What's going on? Who are you? Why me? When Jack finds out-"
"But Jack won't find out. Or, its too late for him..." She cackled, biting her lip. She looked over her shoulder, as if expecting someone, or something to happen, then she turned back, slowly but surely, her eyes weren't human any more. They weren't that vibrant green-brown they were a second earlier. They were solidly grey. Her whole eyeball, even her eyelashes and the very tip of her eyelids were both coated in what looked like to be concrete. No, not concrete, Ianto gasped, Stone. Something had come along in the archieves, some legend of stone angels. Stone angels that were alive. But they weren't heavenly, oh no. They wanted to kill.
"It can't be," Ianto whispered, in both awe and shock.
He almost jumped out of his skin when the door shattered and a new voice entered the room.
"GET AWAY FROM HER, NOW!"
