Chapter 7

'I'm bored!' the little boy screamed 'I want Jack!'

'Ianto if you don't stop screaming then you're going to bed...can't you just wait a few minutes? Then I promise to play a game with you.' The master couldn't take much more of this. The child was never like this back on Gallifrey; always moaning.

'I don't want to play with you!' he continued. 'You said Tish can take me! I want Jack!'

'At dinnertime, you can go see the... freak.'

'Stop it!' the boy began to let tears fall down his cheeks but as soon the Master realized what he had done, he put down all the papers and plans to capture Martha Jones and picked up the small boy, held him tight and whispered. 'I'm sorry Yan... how about we go and play some Rugby? I know it's your favourite...'

'Rugby?' the little boy sniffled.

'Yeah, although you'll have to show me.' He began to chuckle as his son's face lit up in excitement.

But I'm too small! Tad said it was dangerous.'

As soon as Ianto mentioned his human father the master's mood changed. 'Tad? Ianto, I need you to forget about him, ok?'

'Why?' Ianto began to scrunch his face in confusion as he wriggled out of the master's grip.

'He isn't your tad okay... I'm your dad not some human. You need to remember that.'

'But Tad loves me!' the boy protested.

'No!' the master began to shake him about and Ianto did not like it. 'You will not mention it again... You hear me?'

Meanwhile Lucy had heard the screaming from down the hall and Quietly entered the room thinking it was just at another servant but was shocked into silence as she realised it was Ianto, his own son, he was shouting at. She had to stop it before he did something he would regret.

'Harry! Stop it he's only a child...YOUR child.' She reasoned taking a step closer encouraging Ianto over to her as his father let him go.

Crying softly the master fell to the floor holding his head. 'It hurts, Lucy... The Drums... the never ending drum beat. I'm sorry son; I didn't mean what I said. I'm not very well that's all.'

Ianto slowly let go of his step-mum and walked towards his dad embracing him in a tight hug, whispering 'its ok daddy...I'm sorry too... I won't see Jack anymore, and then I can look after you.' The master began to chuckle keeping his grip on his son.

'Harry?' Lucy said interrupting the moment. 'We have a reply...' as soon as the words left her mouth the masters head popped up straight away.' Ianto, honey how about you and Tish go make some cakes for daddy?'

'Cakes?' The little boy replied excitedly looking straight at his father for permission who just replied with. 'As long as their chocolate!'

'Yey! I love you daddy!' he shouted giving him a big kiss.

'Well you better get cooking I'm very hungry!' he replied as his son ran down the hall to find Tish. 'Now then, you were saying?'

'It's Martha... we know where she is...'

'Excellent...' he replied standing up slowly. 'Things are going to plan then...but first I need to see the freak.'

Two guards came running towards the cell in a hurry. All Jack could do was sit and watch as they took the Doctor away. Normally he would've helped him, fought them off so he could stay with him, but he knew they would only kill him again. After all he always comes back. What happened next was the most surprising. The master, of all people, walked into his cell.

'Well freak...'

There was no response.

'We found Martha... well Ianto did.'

Jack's head shot up at the sound of his lover's name. 'What do you want?'

'Oh so he does speak... I want you to leave my son alone! You're not worthy of him... a freak like you. You corrupted him, turned him against me and for that you will suffer...'
