Human Nature
Chapter 4
Earlier: Sometime During Donna's Lunch Break…
Donna sat down at the console, turning on a little screen. A moment later, the Doctor appeared and began listing all the things she had to look out for while he was a human.
"Hi," he said, fiddling with his glasses. Donna gave a little smile.
"Okay, so Donna, whilst I'm human, you'll need to remember some things. One, the creatures after me want me for my lifespan. I still have a long time left to go," he explained, "And devouring me will make them live for the rest of my lifespan, but, they can probably expand their lives by a couple of months by devouring humans, so, if any humans die mysteriously, and you suspect The Family, open the watch, okay?"
Even though she knew it was a recording, Donna nodded. "The Family" were a family of aliens – whose real name Donna couldn't pronounce without several voice boxes, apparently – who ate someone's heart to get the rest of their lifespan. Donna shuddered at the idea of someone finding bodies lacking hearts. Apparently, The Family could devour any species as long as it had a heart. There were six in The Family.
"And you," the Doctor continued with a small smile, "Don't let me abandon you, yeah? Hopefully Human-Me will be as nice as I am,"
Donna chuckled, and switched off the screen, shaking her head.
Back To The Present…
Then, there was a growl.
Donna spun around, but only saw a flash of red eyes before something pounced on her…
The creature had black skin, black as soot, and it had evil red eyes. Tiny horns stuck out of its otherwise bald head, and its fangs bared in a twisted grin at her.
And, yes, Donna had seen it before.
It was one of The Family.
The beast threw her to the ground, hissing.
"Where is the Time Lord, Donna Noble?"
Donna didn't answer, instead she struggled against the claws pinning her down, but it was too strong.
"Feisty one, aren't you?" it said in its demonic voice, "Well, you seem young enough. You would probably lengthen Mother of Mine and Father of Mine's lives for long enough until we find the Doctor…"
Donna instantly realized what it meant and she let out a strangled scream, struggling violently against it, as it raised one clawed hand, read to cut out her heart.
She screamed again, and this time the creature growled angrily, digging it's claws into the open flesh on her shoulder and dragging them through, creating 3 identical inch-long cuts.
Suddenly, there was a bark, and a wet nose came in between Donna and this alien, and a tongue began licking Donna's face.
Donna shook her head violently, attempting to get this dog out of her way, when she felt a weight being lifted off her, and the beast that had attacked her was gone.
Donna shakily sat up, pushing the sheepdog off of her. The dog was wagging its tail manically, and leapt forward, putting its paws on Donna's shoulder and continuing to lick her face.
"Rex? REX?"
The dog paused and looked up. An old man was hobbling towards them, holding a lead in one hand.
"Rex, come here!" he ordered. The dog reluctantly went to its owner, and the man looked apologetically at Donna.
"I'm sorry, miss. Rex is harmless really; just very social!" he chuckled, and suddenly his eyes widened, "Dear God! Did he do that to you?"
Donna frowned, confused, "What do you mean?"
He pointed to her shoulder. She put her hand on her shoulder, and instantly regretted this action as pain shot down her arm. She remembered the three cuts, and when she pulled her hand away, there was a lot of blood.
"N-no," she muttered, climbing unsteadily to her feet, "It wasn't the dog…"
The man looked relieved, "Oh good. Do you need a ride home or something? Or to the hospital, you might need stitches…"
Donna shook her head and turned away, walking away quickly.
The man called after her, but she ignored him.
She was still shaking from what had happened. If they had found her, they were one step closer to the Doctor.
The watch, she thought.
Rose pulled away from John, eyes wide.
"Did you just…kiss me?" she asked. John nodded, "Yeah, I guess…"
Rose bit her lip hard, "Oh…"
The two sat in an awkward silence, Rose staring at the floor and John staring at the side of her head.
"Well!" Rose suddenly grinned, beaming, "I'd best be getting home. Mum will go mental if I'm too late, y'know,"
John was about to say something when Rose got up, zipping her jacket up, "See ya, John,"
She leant across the bar, and kissed him again, one hand resting on her cheek.
Then, she was gone.
John stood silently, eyes wide, before proclaiming to the empty bar, "I'm getting mixed signals here!!"
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair – his incredibly amazing hair, as Rose had said once – and climbed over the counter, and locking up the pub.
He was rather annoyed to see Donna really had gone home without him. He scowled and began walking along the streets alone, wondering what was up with Rose.
First, he kissed her.
Then, Rose seemed really confused.
Then, she kissed him.
John rolled his eyes and shoved his hands in his pockets, staring down at the pavement.
Women!!
He would never understand them!
He got to his flat and unlocked the door, walking in.
No sign of Donna.
As if she'd heard his thoughts, Donna came out of the bathroom, already in her pyjamas.
"Hey," she smiled, toweling off her wet hair.
"Had a shower?" he asked. Donna scowled.
"No, I just thought it would be a good idea to jump in the Thames on my way over here," she said sarcastically. John rolled his eyes as Donna flopped down on the sofa. It was obviously one of those days again!
"What's up?" Donna asked, patting the seat beside her. John sat down on the arm rest beside Donna, sighing.
"You look a little shell-shocked," Donna said, looking worriedly at him. He nibbled his lip, before saying, "I kissed Rose,"
If Donna had been drinking, she would've spat it out.
"YOU WHAT?!" she yelled so loudly John had to jump off of the sofa to keep his ears at a safe distance from the noise.
"Well, I kinda kissed her…" John stammered. Donna's eyes widened.
"Huh." she mumbled, suddenly calm.
Inside, Donna's thoughts were racing.
He never EVER said anything about women!
Bugger him, he mentioned he wasn't allowed to eat PEARS but he never said ANYTHING about women!!
Did the idea of human-him wanting a woman never OCCUR to him?? Clearly, he had no idea how men work!
Bugger bugger bugger bugger…
Meanwhile, John had spotted something under the spaghetti strap of her top.
"Donna!" he said quietly, "What happened?!"
"Eh?" Donna said, looking confused.
He pulled the strap down, and looked in horror at the deep wounds on her shoulder.
"Oh my God!" said the ever-squeamish John. Donna got up and shrugged, throwing the towel over her shoulder to cover the cuts, wincing as they were still sore.
"What happened, Donna?" John asked worriedly as Donna moved over to the television set. He watched as she picked up an old fob watch, turning it over in her hand.
Should I open it? Bring back the Doctor?
But…its only 3 more months, and he did say only open it if people were dying…
Donna was facing a moral dilemma, between saving the Doctor, and her own selfish reasons. The Doctor had to hide from them, else they'd devour both his hearts, killing him and causing an evil Family to live forever. But…
She missed him.
Donna sighed and put the watch down, turning around with a big smile.
"Nothing's wrong, John. I just…fell over on the way home, scraped my shoulder."
"But, Donna, those scars look really deep,"
Donna laughed heartily, "You're very melodramatic today, Johnny. C'mon, I think we both need a good night's sleep, yeah?"
John nodded, still not looking convinced. Donna bid goodnight to him and walked into her room, shutting the door behind her. She then lent her head on the wall, sighing deeply.
Three more months… she repeated to herself, Those things won't come after you again, just three…more…months…
