Chapter Three

The noise was so loud and I was so scared. I ran away as fast as I could. Everything around me changed the noise stopped and the people disappeared. The last person I saw was a man in a long grey coat soon too he was gone as well and then I was alone again.


'I don't feel like I should be here,' Toshiko said sitting down on the hard camp bed.

'It is a bit strange. I'm not sure I feel to good staying here the place has always been a bit creepy.' Owen said inspecting the provisions that had been left for them.

'I don't mean here. I mean HERE we shouldn't be alive, it's wrong. I died.'

'You don't feel like it's a second chance?'

'No it just feels wrong,' she said sadly.


'I thought you could bunk in with me,' Jack said smiling. Picking up some bedding.

'I'm not sure sir.' Ianto replied.

'Sir! Ianto what's wrong?'

'I've had time to think. I think we should cool things.'

'Why? You're back, I never thought I'd see you again.'

'Exactly and now I've got my life back I've decided to make some changes. One of them is that I'm not going to be your play thing.'

'You're not!'

'Come on I am. I'm not exactly the one and only,'

'I...'

'How many have there been over the years? Hundreds, thousands? Can you even remember them all?'

'I can.'

'It's impossible. If I hadn't come back I'd just be one of those forgotten memories. I deserve more than that.'

'Of course you do.'

'That's why I'm taking my life back. I am Ianto Jones. I am not defined by my relationship to you.' He said taking his bedding and leaving.
