"Sounds like we've landed" The Master ran to the front door and opened it to find himself in front of the Pond's home. "Ah, home sweet broken home" he stepped out of the Tardis and Amy quickly followed behind him.
"Where are you going?" Amy questioned him as she stood in front of him.
"Why, are you coming with me?" The Master scoffed and nudged her out the way as he caught a taxi.
"Stop!" Amy called out and ran after the cab with The Doctor behind her. She got a hold of the door handle for a minute before it sped up too fast for her to hold on. "Great, he's loose. What if he goes to the hospital?! Everyone will think he's still Rory."
"Well, it's a start." The Doctor hailed a cab. "Come along, Pond" he took her by the hand and they got into the backseat. "Royal Leadworth Hospital. It's an emergency!" he commanded the driver.
Amy and The Doctor were right to have followed their instinct of searching the hospital. Amy ran to the front desk "Has Rory Williams come in to work today?" she asked.
A nurse walking past overheard and turned to speak with her "Yeah, he's here." She looked Amy over quite judgmentally. "You his ex wife?"
Amy's eyes flashed with anger. "Not yet" she tried to hold in her urge to scream.
"He doesn't want to see you right now" the nurse crossed her arms. "He came in here looking extremely upset. I asked him if he wanted to go home but he insisted he stay and work. That's Rory for you; he's been soldiering on day in and day out even with all his troubles and I'm not letting you come in here and start another fight with him while he's at work."
"Who said I was here to fight him?" Amy was losing her temper "Maybe it's an emergency and I need to speak with him now!"
"I'll call for him but I don't want a domestic dispute in my lobby, is that clear?" the woman at the front desk rolled her eyes. "Rory Williams to the front lobby, please"
The Doctor took her to one side "What was that? What's been going on with you and Rory? Did you get a divorce?" his eyes grew incredibly sad.
"Are we really going to do this now, Doctor?" Amy crossed her arms and avoided eye contact. "Besides, he's not even Rory anymore."
"But ... he was." The Doctor took her hands in his "And if you figure out a way to change him back to Rory; who's to say you won't start fighting again?"
"I'll change. I'll beg for his forgiveness and I'll be better." Amy felt herself fighting tears.
"What have you done that would require you to beg for forgiveness, Amelia?" The Doctor could see her losing her battle to hold back tears and he held her close in a warm hug.
"Excuse me?" The nurse was back and looking her over with that disgusted look in her face again. "He's said he isn't talking to you. He probably doesn't want to come down here and see you hugging it out with your new boyfriend. I mean, seriously. What is your problem?"
"No! What is your problem!?" Amy completely lost it. "Who the hell are you and why are you speaking for my husband?"
"I'm his friend. Everyone in this hospital loves him to bits and all the other nurses know all about you and your whoring around behind his back." The Nurse was hit with a jab to the face from Amy's fist.
"You little..." Amy pulled her hair and slammed her up against the wall.
"Whoa! Hey!" The Doctor pulled them apart "That's enough."
The lights suddenly went out and panicked voices began to murmur. A scream broke through the dark followed by another and another. When the lights came back on 4 people lay dead on the floor and in their place stood four men in black clothes.
The woman at the front desk quickly picked up the phone to call the police but a bolt of bright lightning-like energy threw the phone out of her hand.
"Sorry, I really can't have you doing that right now" The Master came down the hallway and into the lobby with a big smile on his face. "I can still do the thing" he laughed putting his palms up to show them glowing with white energy.
"What the hell is going on, Rory?" The nurse who'd picked a fight with Amy disrupted him.
"Please, shut up, Nancy." The Master threw a bolt of energy at her sending her flying across the room and hitting the wall unconscious. "She's great fun at parties but she can be such a bitch sometimes" The Master smiled. "My disciples are here! They're the ones who resurrected me last time, remember?" He watched as they kneeled before him. "There's plenty more of them upstairs." The Master pointed up to the second floor and the sound of screaming could be heard through the ceiling. "Anyone too weak to be of any use to me is being put out of their misery."
Two of the Disciples of Saxon get off their knees and run upstairs. One of them reaches for Amy and holds a knife to her throat.
"No!" The Master and The Doctor both yelled in unison.
The Master slowly walked up to Amy and delicately ran his fingers down the side of her face. "She could still be of some use to me" The Master grabbed her arm and took her away while The Doctor was held back by the 2 disciples.
The Master threw Amy into a dark and empty hospital room and closed the door behind him. "You know how often I've fantasized killing you, Amy?" he asked as he slowly walked up to her. "I've imagined slitting your throat and having The Doctor watch you scream in pain as you slowly faded away. I wanted him to see that last glimmer of life leaving your eyes as you cried and choked on your own blood." he had Amy up against the wall. "But funny thing is.." The Master laughed rather maniacally. "I finally got the chance and I didn't do it." The Master looked at her suddenly quite serious. "Why do you think that is?"
"I don't know" Amy could only whisper as a tear fell down her cheek. She wanted to believe it was Rory fighting back somehow but she was losing hope. "You win" her tears were falling uncontrollably now. "You win, Master."
The Master smiled. "On your knees" He watched as she obeyed. "Good girl"
