As the drumbeats get closer so does the meeting of the Bad Wolf and The Oncoming Storm.
Lord that was cheesy…Anyways-
MANY THANKS TO Built on the Horizon FOR BETAING!!!!
So besides the fact I like caps lock here's the next chapter!! Oh and this one's a little bit angst-y
--
Previously:
You could stop this right now. We could leave. We could fly across the constellations if that's what you want. But not on Earth!"
"Too late." The Master replies.
"Why do you say that?" the Doctor asked.
His plans were already in place, everything was in order, and the drumbeat was getting closer. Besides he promised Rose. Ah Rose….
--
The Master chuckled; he could have some fun tormenting the Doctor about Rose. But not yet, he didn't want to tell everything. No he'd want to witness the Doctor's expression once he saw that he'd married his lost love.
"What is it?" The Doctor's voice rang through the phone's line. "Why are you laughing?"
"Well Doctor as interesting as 21st century Earth and the year hundred-trillion are, I got bored" The Master started a tiny smirk beginning to dance across his lips "So I decided to do a little research on you, and your crew. Want to know what I found?" Silence from the other line so he continued
"I found out all about Medical Martha, Jumping Jack was a bit harder to get to. But while surfing for you I found a site called L.I.N.D.A., run by a very curious boy the name of Elton. Shame about his Mum though. But what was really interesting is that instead of finding your little trainee next to you, I found a very young and a very blond Rose Tyler."
The Doctor was about to say something; he wasn't exactly sure what but the Master cut him off anyway.
"Now she made me very interested, but my hopes of finding your companion were lost, seeing as she's dead."
"She's not dead." The Doctor said darkly, the Master smiled.
"See that's what I thought; and the TARDIS' memory banks were a great help with that, especially one." The tiny pain in the Doctor's hearts was back again and it wouldn't go away. "The great Time Lord ran out of time…even for just three words…"
A hush went over both lines. One side was reminiscing the other was listing to the steady beat of drums. Then a voice came through.
"What are you doing this?" The Doctor's voice was raspy.
"The drumming." The Master replied, instantly as he started to tap on the table to the rhythm of the drums.
"Can't you hear it?" Da, da, da, dum. "I thought it would stop, but it never does." Da, da, da, dum. "Never, ever stops. Inside my head, the drumming, Doctor, the constant drumming." The Master's voice filled with hate towards the pulse within his mind that would not to stop.
"I could help you, please let me help" The Doctor was nearly begging him.
"It's everywhere…Listen, listen, listen…." Da, da, da, dum "here come the drums…here come…the drums"
A man leaning against a wall in front of the Doctor started the patting the same beat as the Master. The Doctor felt fear rising through him.
"What have you done? Tell me how you've done this" He asked his voice growing cold "What are those creatures? Tell me!"
"Oh look you're on TV!" The Master said not at all caring about the Doctor's questions.
"Stop it! Answer me!" The Doctor demanded. He'd offered the Master help but he refused it. No second chances.
"No really you're on telly!" The humor in his voice was starting to annoy the Doctor greatly. "You and your little band." The Master hit a few keys on his laptop showing the news.
The Doctor walked up to a shop window and saw the news on a TV that was switched on.
"Which, by the way has hit every demographic box, so congratulations on that." Now the news was showing pictures of the Doctor, Martha and then Jack next to the newscaster.
"Oh there you are," the Master laughed at the newscaster as she was saying they were 'Terrorist Suspects' and they were extremely dangerous. "You're public enemies one, two and three."
"Oh! And you can tell handsome Jack," Rose was telling him of how full of himself Jack was, "That I sent his little gang on a wild goose chase across the Himalayans, so he won't be getting any help from them."
The Doctor noticed Martha and Jack leaning against a pillar a few feat away from him, he gestured for them to come over. The Master tuned into the CCTV where they were.
"Now go on. Off you go. Why not start by turning to the…right" The Master smiled as the Doctor figured out what he was doing.
"He can see us!" The Doctor shouted while destroying the camera with his sonic screwdriver.
"Ooh you public menace! Better start running. Go on run!"
"He's got control over everything," The Doctor stated.
"What do we do?" Martha asked her eyes fixed on the television set.
"We've got no where to go." Jack said sadly.
Martha turned to look at the Doctor her eyes demanding him to answer, "Doctor, What do we do?"
"Run, Doctor!" The Masters voice coming from the cell phone. "Run for your life!"
"We run"
