3-2 The Torture Round 2
River
"Back for more, Doctor Song?" He jokingly asked.
"Am I?" I rhetorically answered.
I knew what lay in the cards but I was still the Queen of Sass. That was my self-proclaimed title.
"You'll never suffer enough. 12,000 life sentances is a long time in which you'll be begging to die by the end" he claimed.
"Will I?" I challenged.
I let him torture me. There were too many guards even for me and the head warden would not be persuadable. They was no opportunity to use my hallucinogenic lipstick to try to escape and my vortex manipulator was too well guarded. I was at the whim of when the Doctor would pick me up. Which could be now or next year knowing him.
"Yes, you will" he said with conviction.
I inwardly trembled. He could do this forever or until the Doctor found out. Even as careful as I was he'd go to Stormcage and find me here or hurt me unintentionally before I mitigated the worst of the damage.
A/N I have written an alternative fanfic called The Doctor at Stormcage which covers the former of the two possibilities of how the Doctor finds out River has been tortured which is the Doctor finds River at Stormcage when she is being tortured. It is AU from this scene onwards. This story will continue with the later possibility that the Doctor finds out before River has healed most of the damage.
